"Tao, please, for your sisters sake, I beg you. Its all my fault, Im willing to die in her place..." Ruby Zhou knelt on the ground, her voice choked with tears and desperation.
Gaunt and weak, Tao An leaned against the windowsill, her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at her beloved mother.
"Did you think of this day when you When you let Luna An snatch my college admission and replace my life, did you think of me? I am your flesh and blood too!" Tao asked the questions she had been harboring all her life.
Both daughters were born to the same mother, yet Luna was the treasured child, while Tao was treated like trash. Luna became the respectable wife of a leader, while Tao was the despised and lowly outcast, shunned by all.
She could have had a good life too, but from the moment of her birth, she was selfishly replaced by Ruby, and she and Luna lived completely opposite lives. One in heaven, one on earth. Yet even so, this mother and daughter pair were not satisfied and conspired
Her anger surged, and with a forceful push, Luna fell from the windowsill. From a height of fifteen stories, it was enough to send that woman straight to hell.
"Luna..." Ruby wailed, her heart feeling as if a chunk of it had been cut out, the pain was unbearable.
Tao stood on the windowsill, already in the late stages of cancer, life no longer bearable. It was time to join in the afterlife. Without hesitation, she jumped.
The wind howled in her ears as Tao spread her arms wide, soaring like a bird set free.
If there was an afterlife, she vowed to live without humiliation or insignificance, to live a life of joy and splendor, where no one could ever wrong her again!
"Little tramp, playing hard to get with me, youre in my grasp now!" The voice was lewd, filled with the arrogance of a small man who had finally gotten his way, accompanied by the sickly sweet, humid breath that lingered in her ear, and hands that roamed over her body, making her feel sick with disgust.
Taos head was spinning, and she heard the voice of her ex-husband, Nathan Lu. She had already died, so why was this jerk still haunting her?
Suddenly, her heart pounded violently, and Tao became more alert. Nathans voice sounded much younger.
Could it be?
She pinched her thigh hard, and the pain jolted her awake, filling her with joy.
Ghosts couldnt feel pain, so she was alive, and she had been reborn.
August 3, 1978. She was only eighteen years old, having returned to the city from the just three months prior after falling ill.
She would never forget this day until her dying breath because from that day on, her nameTao An was replaced with derogatory terms like harlot and tramp.
It was also the day she became engaged to Nathan Lu, plunging into a fiery pit that confined her for half her life.
Nathan leered at the semi-conscious Tao, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. He had coveted her for so long and finally had his wish fulfilled.
"Little tramp, I gave you face, but you dont want it. Hmph, after today, lets see how you pretend to be pure!"
Tao, who had been pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing through them. She kneed Nathan in the groin, and he doubled over in pain like a shrimp. Tao pushed him away with ease.
Four years at北大荒 had turned her into a strong, iron-willed woman, while Nathan had been coddled and weak, his strength no match for Taos. He was effortlessly pushed to the ground.
Nathan opened his mouth to howl, but a smelly sock was stuffed in, the foul odor making him roll his eyes back in disgust.
Tao got out of bed, her memories slowly returning. Luna had tricked her into coming to Nathans place under the guise of having college entrance exam materials and coaxed her into drinking a sweet fruit juice laced with high-proof alcohol. Once at Gus house, she became dazed and at Nathans mercy.
A crowd had burst in to find them in a compromising position, and Nathan had spun a tale of seduction, leaving her defenseless. From that moment on, she could never hold her head up high again, even children would spit at her and call her names.
Taos anger surged at the thought of her past life, and now, Heaven had granted her a second chance on this very day.
She bent down, coldly regarding Nathan.
In her previous life, her tarnished reputation had forced her to marry Nathan, and she was despised by the Gu family. Nathan had tormented her both mentally and physically, making her life a living hell for over a decade until her uncle, XiNian Gu, returned in glory and saved her from the Gu household.
"I gave you face, but you dont want it? Im the tramp?"
Thinking of her past life, Tao wanted to kill Nathan. She looked for a suitable tool and saw only a white enamel cup on the table with the words "New Start Machinery Inc." written in red.
She poured out the water and, gripping the handle, smashed the cup against Nathans head. The clang was more melodious than a symphony. Nathan crawled towards the door, and Tao grabbed his hair, smashing the cup against the back of his head again.
"Did Luna collude with you?"
Tao kicked Nathan over, stepping on his abdomen as she loomed over him like a goddess of death.
Nathan nodded vigorously, begging for mercy from this fierce woman.
"Luna told you that I was slept with by a leader and returned to the city, and that you could do as you please, right?"
Nathan hesitated to nod, fearing more blows, but a moments pause brought a sharp pain to his stomach, and bile squeezed out. Tao moved her foot downward and pulled the sock from his mouth.
"Answer honestly, or Ill make you a eunuch!"
"Luna said that, please let me go, I dare not anymore!" Nathan wailed, his guts full of regret.
Tao looked at the spineless man with disgust, remembering how she had been bullied by this man for over a decade in her past life.
"I can spare you, but go out and say that you and Luna are dating, that youve slept together, and that Luna has a pink birthmark on her left buttock. Got it?"
Nathan hesitated, and Taos face turned cold, her foot pressing down, causing Nathan unbearable pain. He quickly agreed.
"Ill say it, Luna and I are dating, weve slept several times, she has a pink birthmark on her right buttock, Ill definitely say it!"
"Left, you fool!"
Tao knocked him with the cup again, and Nathan nodded fearfully, "Its the left, Im the fool."
"I want to see results in half a month, or else..."
Taos foot pressed down on his vital spot again, and Nathan shuddered with fear, promising earnestly, "There will be results, ten days will do."
Footsteps echoed downstairs, and Tao smashed a stool down. Nathan didnt even have time to groan before he passed out.
She calmly opened the drawer, took about ten bills and more than twenty food stamps, and stuffed them into her pocket.
Then she jumped out of the window. The Gu house was on the second floor, and there was a flower bed below. Tao landed effortlessly and took a shortcut to run away.
