"The sole heir of the Bai Corporation, Bai Wei has been in a vegetative state for three years now. Her fiancé, Shen Zhizhou, has moved on from the grief, even taking over the Bai Corporation...”

As she watched the news being played on the television, the woman on the bed -- her face disfigured -- had a fierce hate burning in her red-tinged eyes!

Because she was the one mentioned in the news, paralyzed and living as a vegetable for three years - Shen Zhizhou's fiancée, Bai Wei!

But who knew, she was confined on this cruise ship by Shen Zhizhou and her best friend Su Man, her hands and feet paralyzed, existing like a living corpse!

"Tap, tap, tap…" At that moment, the crisp sound of footsteps echoed against the floor. Following the creak of a door being opened, a pair of red high heels came into Bai Wei's line of sight.

Bai Wei struggled, wanting to leap from the bed and tear apart the intruder.

However, her struggles were futile. Her hands quickly drooped in exhaustion. She sobbed in anger and pain, her bony fingers in the air appearing like dead branches.

“Wei Wei, are you excited to see me?" Su Man laughed heartily at the sight of Bai Wei glaring at her, leaning down to whisper in her ear, a ghostly voice said, "Bai Wei, did you ever think you'd see this day?"

Bai Wei glared angrily at her former close friend, who had now stolen everything from her and was arrogantly looking down at her like a victorious conqueror.

She wanted to curse, but her vocal cords had been destroyed, rendering her incapable of making a sound.

Her low growls of fierce hatred were akin to a trapped beast, but her eyes betrayed confusion!

Why? What had she done to deserve such ill-treatment?

Seeing Bai Wei in such a state of struggle and anger, Su Man felt a rush of satisfaction, "You don't understand, do you? Why would I betray you? Because... you are a fool!”

"Did you really think I wanted to be your best friend? I befriended you solely for Shen Zhizhou! Did you think Shen Zhizhou truly loved you? He was just eyeing the wealth of the Bai Corporation behind you!"

On seeing Bai Wei's trembling lips, her mouth wide as if to scream, Su Man reached out to tightly grip her chin, causing blood to seep out of the corner of Bai Wei's mouth.

"Haha, and your parents' car accident, it wasn't even an accident at all, you have no idea how ridiculous you look, being fooled for all these years!"

No, this can't be!

Bai Wei opened her eyes wide, glared at Su Man with hatred, wanting to tear her face apart with her bare hands, but she couldn't even raise her hand.

"As a sister, having kept you alive until now, I have done my best," Su Man began, her face growing ever more sinister. "Remember what you often told me in the past? Wishing my heart condition would get better sooner, right?"

What is she trying to do?

"Ah, Bai Wei, it's time for you to make your last contribution!" Speaking, Su Man pulled out a piece of paper from her bag.

A body donation form!

Looking at the big words on the paper, Bai Wei felt every nerve in her body was stung at that moment, and under the A4 paper, there was Shen Zhi Zhou's signature!

"Do you think Zhi Zhou would have kept you alive until now if it weren't for the fact that your heart matches mine?" Su Man squeezed Bai Wei's neck tightly and said coldly, "Bai Wei, do you know that I used to hate your pretended concern? Now, once your heart is given to me and I marry Zhi Zhou, I will definitely thank your whole family, hahaha...."

Bai Wei was struggling violently, her whole body shaking, her hatred almost aggravating her soul!

"Haha, struggle all you want, but it's all useless. Oh, right!" Su Man said, with a playful smirk on her face, "The Bai Group will officially change its control today. Zhi Zhou loves me and even gave me 20% of the shares, haha!"

Enough! Enough!

Those dastardly couple!

"And the wedding house you bought earlier, Zhi Zhou and I broke in last night to experience it, it was superb! Dear sister, from now on, your man, your wealth, I will enjoy them all for you, so rest in peace!"

As soon as Su Man finished speaking, a group of doctors and nurses flooded in immediately, their syringes at the ready as they ruthlessly plunged it into Bai Wei's neck.

In an instant, Bai Wei lost all her senses.

Yet after a moment of spinning vertigo, she felt her body begin to float weightlessly. She saw her own face on the operating table, identical, yet marred by countless cuts. She watched as the surgeon's knife sunk deeply into her own body.

No, don't —

But regardless of how she cried out, no one heard her.

When she tried to stop the doctor, she found herself phasing straight through his body and crashing into a wall.

Had she...had she died?

Then, she watched in horror as the group of doctors and nurses removed her heart from her body...

When everyone had left, she finally saw the man!

Shen Zhizhou!

He approached expressionlessly, carrying a can of gasoline. Coldly, he glanced at Bai Wei's mutilated body on the bed, then proceeded to douse her face and corpse with the gasoline.

When the flames ignited, the man smirked and nonchalantly left without a backward glance!

As Bai Wei watched in agonizing pain as the fire devoured her body, the sharp stabbing pain penetrating her soul through her corpse, a flash of white light streaked across her mind, and Bai Wei lost consciousness once more.

Two days later.

"Ahh—"

Upon regaining consciousness, Bai Wei seemed to still feel the excruciating pain of her whole body being consumed by the blazing fires. She screamed and opened her eyes in horror.

The moment she opened her eyes, a surge of memories that did not belong to her rapidly flooded her mind.

Her head throbbed as if it were about to explode. Bai Wei knit her brows and covered her head with her hand.

Then a chilly male voice sounded from above, "Song Ci, is that all you've got?"

Startled, Bai Wei quickly looked up, her gaze meeting a strikingly handsome face that seemed to be carved by a deity. The man donned a tailored black suit, exhibiting an elegantly distinguished demeanor with his tall, slender figure.

However, his slightly pursed thin lips, along with the narrow, deep eyes, were filled with disdain and mockery.

Looking down at her condescendingly, the chilling aura in his eyes seemed capable of tearing her apart.

Perhaps because of his icy aura, Bai Wei couldn't help but feel a quiver rise from the pit of her stomach, causing her to instinctively step back.

Yet, just then, a memory flashed across her mind. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she tentatively asked the man, "Huo Tingxiao?"
