That night.
In the grand hall of the largest business hotel in Jiang City, a somewhat conspicuous sense of dread loomed in the bustling city.
"Hurry, she's almost awake, Tiger Bro, quickly get her into the room!" A frantic male voice echoed in her ear.
Su Qiyue clutched her aching head, her body was unbearably hot. Her clear eyes focused on the reflection of her body on the floor beneath her. What happened to her?
Wasn't she dead?
Before she could grasp the situation, several men lunged forward to seize her. Su Qiyue's eyes flicked with a chilly spark of defiance and she jumped up to run out.
"Tiger Bro! The woman is running into the alley!"
"Run after her! If this job blows up, we won't get our two hundred grand!"
Su Qiyue suddenly remembered the incident when she was eighteen, where she had been drugged and violated. Her current physical condition…
Had she...reborn?
As she stared at her clean and fair hands, the skin on her wrist remained delicate and snow-white, devoid of the terrifying scar. She was so excited that she wanted to cry.
However, the people behind her were still chasing her. Her consciousness was starting to wane and Su Qiyue gritted her teeth and ran deeper into the alley. Just a few steps in, the crowd caught up with her.
A foot kicked her squarely in the chest: "Go ahead, run you little wretch, I'd like to see how far you can get!"
"Take her away! Don't screw this up!"
Unable to resist, a heart-wrenching pain echoed in her chest as Su Qiyue watched helplessly as the man reached out to grab her. But her bright eyes held a determination unusual for her condition. She would live. Again.
She absolutely couldn't repeat her past mistakes!
Thump.
Feeling a sting at the back of her head, she lost consciousness completely.
Her awareness was hazy, and she vaguely saw a blurry figure. Struggling to open her heavy eyelids, her vision gradually became clear.
But in an instant, her body was brutally torn apart. She opened her mouth to scream, but could only let out a humiliating whimper.
She fell unconscious once again, without even getting a clear look at the person's face.
In the early morning, the soft sunlight shone into the messy bedroom.
The person in bed fluttered her eyelashes and suddenly opened her eyes.
The strange room, her torn dress, and a man's shirt laying around... Yongqi July quickly sat up from the bed, and the pain from her entire body made her knit her brows, particularly the pain from her body.
The marks strewn across the white skin of her chest, a combination of blue and purple, reminded her of the madness of the previous night.
She sat dazedly for a while, her mood felt as if it had plunged into an abyss.
The thing she was most afraid of happening, had still happened.
In her previous life, she was raped when she was eighteen. Upon waking up, she was greeted by the sight of her then-boyfriend Lu Ziming catching her in the act. Her photos were spread around by the media, her father almost broke ties with her, her reputation was ruined overnight.
She thought she would avoid it this time, but she didn't expect...
No, she must leave here as soon as possible! At least, she needed to stay away from the media…
As Su Qiuyue moved to flip her blanket, she bumped into an arm. Her heart jolted. There was another person in the room.
Last life, she woke up alone.
She hugged the blanket tighter around her, covering her body full of bruises, then turned her gaze on the man.
The cold, handsome face of the man before her was framed by a set of dark, proud, and noble eyebrows. His eyes were half-closed, but seemed to register her gaze. A touch of cold indifference appeared between his brows as his eyes, like numerous stars in the pitch-black night sky, suddenly flew open, staring coldly at her.
This man...
"Jin Liangcheng?!"
