Yet the moment Tang Aining, now Gu Ning, spoke, Gu Man and Gu Qing were utterly shocked. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief at the sight of Gu Ning leaning back against the bedhead.

The doctor had declared that a blood clot in Gu Ning’s brain required surgical removal, yet here she was, waking up all by herself.

“Ningning, Ning, you—you’re awake...” Despite the shock, Gu Man quickly snapped out of it. Tears streamed down her face as she hurried forward, desperate to embrace Gu Ning but terrified of causing pain. Instead, she froze in place, hands hovering uncertainly.

“Ningning, you’re awake at last. Finally awake...”

Gu Qing dashed over too. The pain lingered, but overwhelming joy and thrill surged through her.

“Mom, Aunt, I’m awake now,” Gu Ning replied, grasping Gu Man’s hands to soothe her.

“Yes, yes! Thank goodness you’re awake!” Gu Man sobbed with pure relief, gripping Gu Ning’s hands tightly as if fearing she might vanish.

Tears of happiness also welled up in Gu Qing’s eyes. Such intense drama tested the limits of ordinary people.

“Oh, I’ll fetch the doctor right away,” Gu Qing remembered suddenly, bolting out the door.

Soon, the doctor arrived, equally astonished to find Gu Ning conscious. What an incredible miracle!

Still, a full examination was essential to confirm everything.

Thus, the doctor promptly scheduled tests for Gu Ning.

Once the checks were done, Gu Qing went off to get food for Gu Ning, leaving Gu Man to watch over her by the bedside.

Gu Ning deeply sensed the profound maternal affection radiating from Gu Man.

This marked the first time she’d received such tender care since her mother fell into a vegetative state.

Even with Qi Ziyue back then, all those honeyed words were nothing but deceptions.

After eating, Gu Qing headed out for her afternoon shift. Gu Man, however, had the day off, plus tomorrow, having combined her remaining three days’ leave from this month when Gu Ning’s accident happened yesterday.

Gu Man chatted with Gu Ning a bit longer before urging her to rest well.

Gu Ning knew Gu Man hadn’t slept since yesterday afternoon, so she insisted she nap on the empty bed nearby.

Though Gu Ning was now awake and Gu Man felt immense relief, anxiety persisted until the final results arrived. Reluctantly, she hesitated to rest.

But Gu Ning declared she wouldn’t sleep if Gu Man didn’t, forcing her agreement in the end.

Exhaustion overtook Gu Man completely. She only meant to lie down briefly to reassure Gu Ning, yet she plunged into deep slumber within moments.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, lay wide awake, gaze fixed on the ceiling as memories of her previous life flooded her mind.

Suddenly, a pair of feet appeared strolling overhead. Startled, Gu Ning refocused instantly, but the plain white ceiling showed nothing.

Why had she glimpsed feet passing above? Just an illusion?

Gu Ning shifted her gaze from the ceiling. She turned toward the adjacent bed where Gu Man slept soundly. The woman’s skin was sallow and withered, etched with deep wrinkles around her eyes and forehead.

Gu Man, enduring a harsh existence, never splurged on skincare, gourmet meals, or fancy attire for herself.

Yet she always strived to provide the very best for Gu Ning.

Thankfully, Gu Ning had been an obedient girl. Despite her insecurities and shyness, she never envied others, fully aware of their family’s tight finances.

Now that Tang Aining inhabited Gu Ning’s body, she refused to let herself or Gu Man remain impoverished and vulnerable. Moreover, revenge demanded power.

Ambition burned within her. Facing the Tang family as her foe, she needed to surpass them entirely.

Though the Tangs ranked third among the capital’s wealthiest, they commanded billions in assets—a supreme powerhouse. In this third-tier city, they’d dominate as the top family.

Yet the Tangs’ success owed much to Tang Aining’s ruthless contributions.

For the family, Tang Aining committed endless crimes: pilfering rivals’ secrets, assassinations, and more.

In her prior life, Tang Aining erased all traces for her protection, leaving no evidence now to expose the Tangs.

Once more, Gu Ning’s thoughts wandered. She spotted someone striding past nearby. Shocked anew, she snapped back to reality.

Yet no one moved; only a blank white wall faced her. Was it truly a hallucination?

No—beyond the figure, she’d seen a familiar door bearing the number “106”.

Room 106 lay directly opposite her own patient room.

But how could she perceive that door?

Instinctively, she trusted it wasn’t imaginary, but real.

Without thinking, Gu Ning turned back to the wall, concentrating intently.

Moments later, the wall turned see-through before her eyes. She beheld room 106’s door, wandering patients, nurses, and doctors.

A daring notion struck Gu Ning.

Could this be clairvoyance?

The idea left her speechless. She drew a deep breath.

To verify, Gu Ning shifted her focus to another wall. It slowly became transparent, revealing beds, patients, and medical gear inside.

Confirmation hit: it was indeed clairvoyance.

Still, disbelief lingered. Craving further evidence, she scanned around more.

Suddenly, searing pain stabbed her eyes, plunging her into darkness.

In the dream, Gu Ning relived sinking into the ocean after leaping in, the red jade on her chest glowing crimson.

Then, a faint, ancient voice echoed from afar: “This ancient jade, called the ‘Blood of the Phoenix,’ forms from phoenix blood and earth’s soul. Its mystical power grants eternal life or rebirth.”

Abruptly, she jolted awake, bewildered.

What on earth had transpired?

As confusion swirled, vital knowledge flooded her mind.

Soon, Gu Ning pieced it together.

The “Blood of the Phoenix” derived from phoenix blood. As an ancient artifact, its magic allowed rebirth—precisely why she lived again.
