As the first light of dawn broke, a sliver of white rose on the horizon, golden rays piercing through the clouds to cast a natural beauty over the pristine jungle.
The still waters suddenly splashed as a figure emerged.
A pair of delicate hands wiped the water from her face, her beautiful eyes opening to cautiously survey her surroundings.
Where was she?
She remembered activating her lifes worth of gu (a type of insect used in traditional Chinese medicine), turning the entire village into a sea of insects, before fainting from exhaustion...
"So, am I alive or dead?"
Lucy Long looked down at her hands, slender and distinct, as white as jade, completely unlike her previous hands that were pockmarked from insect bites.
Her head throbbed painfully as a jumble of memories flooded in.
In summary—
She had died, only to be reborn in a body named Susan Soo.
Susan Soo was the daughter of the Soo family in the capital, a true officials second generation, arrogant and unscrupulous.
With her fathers suppression, she wasnt too outrageous.
But half a year ago, with her father Steven Soo bedridden, she had been instigated by her stepmother Cindy Yu to repeatedly meet with the entertainment star Billy Bai in secret. Yesterday, she had even abandoned an important competition to go on an outing with him in a desolate place.
Oh, and one more thing, Miss Soo was already married, having entered into a union with the first family of the capital.
But she was very dissatisfied with this political and commercial marriage, feeling like a sacrificial pawn of her family, so she acted out in various ways to assert her presence, advocating for romantic freedom...
After receiving this information, Lucys face gradually turned pale.
Cheating within marriage, if this were in their Miao land, she would have been thrown into a pit of snakes, right?
She floated on the waters surface, her expression one of utter despair.
A cool sensation on her wrist caught her attention. Looking down, she saw a triangular snake head, its red tongue flickering, its slender body coiled around her wrist twice.
A glimmer of relief flashed in Lucys eyes, "Youre still alive too, huh?"
This was her lifes worth of gu, which had been shattered along with her in that great battle.
She gently stroked its head, her voice filled with tenderness, "Sorry, its all my fault for being too weak, causing you to die unjustly with me."
The little green snake seemed to understand, rubbing its face against her arm to comfort her.
Lucy swam to the shore, just climbing up when she heard footsteps approaching.
As they drew near, she recognized the leaders appearance.
He was a young man with a gentle and refined face, an excellent temperament, and a faint smile on his crimson lips.
Behind him followed an androgynous figure, his agent.
There had been many footsteps, likely seeing her, but now the others were gone.
Lucy didnt mind; she was more puzzled at the moment.
What kind of taste did the old Susan Soo have, to cheat for such a guy?
And this man clearly didnt like her.
From their conversation last night, he was fond of Susan Soos stepmother, and had conspired with her to find someone to assault Susan in the wilderness. Thats why Susan had fled in fear, falling from the mountaintop...
"Miss Soo, weve been looking for you all night, why did you run off here?" Billy Bai panted, his expression displeased.
"Oh, I missed a step last night and fell from up there," she pointed towards the mountaintop.
The mans gaze turned somewhat unnatural, looking at her innocent appearance, he probed, "How did you fall? Did you encounter anyone frightening?"
"No! I was just worried you hadnt come back for so long, so I went to find you."
The girls beautiful eyes turned slightly, her voice innocent, just like her previous trust and infatuation with him.
Billy Bai let out a sigh of relief; the flower vase was indeed a flower vase.
It turned out she had just come to find him last night, definitely not hearing their conversation.
"Thats good..."
"Good?" Lucy blinked, "Whats good?"
"I mean its good that youre okay! Didnt I tell you not to run around everywhere? Do you know how worried we were about you?" Billy Bai spoke irritably, with a hint of scolding.
If it were the old Susan Soo, she might have been extremely touched.
After all, her idol cared so much about her.
But now, Lucy said nothing, just narrowing her eyes to examine him.
A pretty boy appearance, unable to carry a load or do any real work, this kind of guy, even the bugs would disdain, yet he dared to bully her.
Billy Bai felt uneasy under her gaze, frowning slightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Theres a snake on your shoulder."
