Far away from the shore, a private luxury cruise ship was moving slowly across the sea.

The sea was like a roaring tiger, churning tumultuously just like Tan Aining’s present emotions. She was extremely frustrated like a tiger.

She was in a casual white T-shirt and jeans, standing on the very edge of the deck on the cruise ship. One step backward and she would directly fall into the deep sea.

What was worse, her right shoulder and left thigh were bleeding after being shot. She was trembling and teetering, but still struggled to remain standing there.

How brave and determined she was!

Actually, two shots weren’t severe enough to make Tang Aining tremble and teeter. She lost lots of strength because she had been drugged earlier.

Otherwise, they could not have captured her that easily!

A man and a woman were the heads of a group of people standing against her.

The woman was in a white strapless dress with dark red curly hair, heavy makeup and looked seductive. Her eyes were full of joy.

While the man, who was in a white suit, was around 30 years old and extraordinarily handsome.

The two stood close to each other in ambiguous posture, seeming debauched.

Behind the man and woman were seven or eight bodyguards, all in black suits.

However, the man who was in white suit had an air of coldness. His eagle-liked eyes were fixed on Tang Aining who was standing right before him. The handgun aimed at her. He was ready to shoot.

And the two shots to Tang Aining were from the man too.

“Why?” Tang Aining squeezed her voice out of her teeth. Her bloodshot eyes were full of endless anger, pain, regret and hope. She stared at the man and the woman who looked pretty close.

“Why? Interesting,” the woman, whose name was Tang Yaxin, snorted with laughter like she had heard a ridiculous joke. “Tang Aining, you still can’t see it clearly, can you? To tell you the truth, I am the person Ziyue loves from the beginning to the end. And you were merely a tool to him. That’s the reason why Ziyue was unwilling to sleep with you for the last two years!”

“You,” Tang Aining choked. If sight could kill people, Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue, who were standing in front of her, would be chopped into pieces already.

Tang Yaxin, Tang Aining’s half-sister, was two years younger than Tang Aining.

Ten years ago, due to the appearance of Tang Yaxin’s mother, Tang Aining’s mother had mentally broken down because of anger, encountered a car accident, and had been in a vegetative state till now. At the same time, Tang Yaxin together with her mother, the mistress, had entered the house.

As for Tang Aining, she had been dumped by her father to a dark killer organization for training. And she had been doing many dirty deeds for the Tang family afterwards.

Tang Aining was surely reluctant, but her mother was in her father’s hand. As long as she dared to disobey, her mom would be killed.

Qi Ziyue, although having an ordinary background, he was still outstanding. Tang Aining, who had always been clever but were deceived by that hypocritical man.

Tang Yaxin, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about Tang Aining’s irritation. She continued. “Dad knows once your mother is dead, he’ll lose control of you. Thus he deliberately sent men to chase you, to make you fall in love and be willing to do whatever he wants. Unexpectedly, you ignored so many men, but precisely chose my man because of an accident. And I had to sacrifice my man to act with you for Tang family’s good!”

While Tang Yaxin was saying, she wore an upset face. Even though she was pretending, she was still attractive. Qi Ziyue, who was standing beside her, comforted, “Baby, no worries, I’ll stay by your side from now on, and I’ll never leave you alone at night again.”

“Absolutely. You, no matter your body or heart, belongs to me, and me only.” Tang Yaxin replied in her coquettish voice, painting circles on Qi Ziyue’s chest with her finger. She was flirting with him, which made the man sexually excited and distracted.

If they hadn’t been in the middle of something important, he would have pressed Tang Yaxin under his body and fucked her violently.

Disgusting . Tang Aining felt more disgusted than hurt by the scene.

If she hadn’t been aimed by a gun, she would never have allowed the two being so shameless before her eyes.

“You,” Tang Yaxin’s expression changed upon hearing Tang Aining’s words, but before she was able to argue back, Qi Ziyue interrupted, “Baby, don’t be annoyed. She’s doomed. It’s not a big deal to let her struggle by words.”

Tang Yaxin calmed down after Qi Ziyue’s explanation, “You’re right. Actually, I don’t want to deal with her at such an early stage, but she already found out her mother’s death! Anyway, I have to say she has a really intimate relations with her mother. She even betrayed the Tang family, and you, for her mother.”

After a short break, Tang Yaxin added, “Tang Aining, since you’ve done a lot for the Tang family, I’ll give you two choices. One, you can jump down alone, and two...” Tang Yaxin wore a meaningful smile, “Two, you can have fun with my fellows, and enjoy the feelings from a girl to be a woman before your death, how’s that?”

Tang Aining clenched her fists, and her face turned displeased.

She stopped struggling at the end, for now she had no choice but to die.

Although she was able to hurt Tang Yaxin before her death, she also knew it clearly that if she had been caught, she would be humiliated and raped by all of those bodyguards, which was unbearable to her.

So...

Tang Aining sneered at Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue, saying coldly, “If I will be alive, I’ll definitely pay you back.”

Tang Aining’s words were like a curse. Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue felt threatened and chilly immediately as if the curse would come true one day, but before they could react, Tang Aining jumped into the rough sea directly.

Tang Aining’s body kept sinking downwards. She fell into unconsciousness gradually, but suddenly, she saw the jade pendant on her chest shine in red light, then she completely lost consciousness.

...

City F, a third-tier city in this country.

In a common patient room of the Central Hospital, there were four beds, but only the right one against the wall was occupied.

On the patient bed was a girl, who was 17 or 18 years old. Her head was wrapped in gauze bandages. She was a pretty girl with beautiful features, but wore a solemn face, fixing her eyes at the news being played on the TV.

The news was saying a female body had been found in the sea of City B last afternoon. The dead was around 25 years old. According to the investigation, the dead was exactly the industrial espionage and killer that the police was chasing after today.

While watching the news, the teenage girl still seemed serious.

Nobody knew the teenage girl’s soul had already been coincidentally replaced by the soul of the female body on the news.

Yes, Tang Aining had been reborn.

Was that unbelievable, but it was what it was. Even Tang Aining, who was proud of her excellent adaptability, had spent a whole morning to accept and face the reality.

But since God had let her be reborn, undoubtedly, she would fulfill her oath of the last lifetime—if she could be alive, she would definitely pay Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin back.

So, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin, let’s wait and see! Tang Aining was back. She was back for the Tang family who had killed her mother and used her for so many years.

The body Tang Aining was reborn to named Gu Ning, 18 years old. She was born in a normal one-parent family, and her mother gave birth out of wedlock.

Because of that, the mother and the daughter had been humiliated and disdained by their relatives for a long time. As for Gu Ning, she was always called “the bastard”.

Besides, the schoolmates despised, isolated and bullied her as well, which was the reason why Gu Ning was self-abased, introverted, weak and inarticulate.

Gu Ning’s mother, Gu Man, was a common factory worker due to her lack of a college degree, earning around several thousand yuan per month. They lived a very hard life.

Gu Ning was a senior studying in a high school of City F. It was just a semester away from the National College Entrance Examination.

However, Gu Ning was not academically inclined, so it was difficult for her to be accepted into college.

And their relatives had laughed at them about that. Someone even pretended to persuade Gu Ning to marry a random man after the exam for Gu Man’s good.

But upon thinking of the reason why Gu Ning was in hospital, Tang Aining turned displeased with her eyes showed slight anger.

Probably because they had encountered the same problem.

Gu Ning had had a boyfriend before she was in hospital. They had dated for two months. Her boyfriend named Qin Zheng, a student in the top class.

Qin Zheng was a handsome, outgoing boy, and also good at studying. He was born in a rich family. His father was the head of the tourism bureau, while his mother was a director of obstetrics and gynecology department in the hospital. Qin Zheng was a son of the authorities.

It had been beyond Gu Ning’s imagination that such an outstanding boy would have chased her. Most importantly, Gu Ning had secretly fallen in love with Qin Zheng for a year. Although Gu Ning had known they didn’t match, she had been unwilling to reject. A few days later, she had accepted.

But everything had come to an end right away yesterday.

Yesterday had been a Friday. Qin Zheng had asked Gu Ning out for a meeting. Gu Ning had believed it must be a date, but to her surprise, Qin Zheng had appeared with Gu Xiaoxiao, and he had said he wanted to break up the minute they had met.

Gu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Gu Ning’s uncle, was half a year Gu Ning’s senior. While growing up, Gu Xiaoxiao had been instilled by her parents that Gu Ning was a bastard. Moreover, Gu Ning was more than beautiful than her. Thus bullying Gu Ning was always funny to Gu Xiaoxiao.

“Gu Ning, Qin Zheng never liked you. He was with you only because it was a bet between us. I told him if he could have you to be his girlfriend for two months, then dump you, I’ll be his girlfriend afterwards. So, from now on, Qin Zheng is my boyfriend.” Gu Xiaoxiao had said in an arrogant way to Gu Ning.

It had taken quite a while for Gu Ning to recover from the shock. She asked Qin Zheng, “Is it true?”

Qin Zheng, who had been looking at her with disdain, replied with intense dislike, “Absolutely. Gu Ning, do you really think I would like you, such a poor girl who has nothing? If it hadn’t been for XiaoXiao, I would not have bothered to give you a glance. You’re disgusting.”

For now, Gu Ning could barely stand.

She had believed she had met her Prince Charming, but it had turned out to be an absurd joke.

Gu Ning couldn’t accept it. She had run away in shame, but had been caught by a car accident. Her brain had been badly damaged while bleeding endlessly, while the driver had escaped.

When she was awake, she became Tang Aining.

Right at this moment, two soft female voices sounded outside the door, and stopped Tang Aining from thinking.

“Here’s 30 thousand. That’s all the savings of me and your brother-in-law, but I don’t think it’s enough for Ningning’s surgery.” This was Gu Ning’s second aunt, Gu Qing. She sounded worried. After a few seconds, she continued, “Well, why don’t you call our eldest brother?”

Gu Qing said though, she didn’t believe it herself.

“I already called, but our eldest brother said his money is all in his wife’s hands. He’s broke too. You know our eldest sister-in-law. Money is her life. One has to kill her first, then borrow her money.”

Gu Man felt resigned. Gu Qingxiang, her eldest brother, was the richest one among the family, but also was the stingiest one. It was merely an excuse that his money was all in his wife’s hands, and Gu Man knew it well.

“Right, how about our third brother?”

“He said he just bought a new house, and ran out of money. It’s all my fault to let Ningning suffer with me. If Ningning couldn’t recover, I’ll commit suicide afterwards,” Gu Man was in pain and desperation.

Although Tang Aining wasn’t the old Tang Aining any longer, she still had her professional skills with her. Thus she was able to hear the voices from outside clearly no matter how quiet they were.

And the dialogue touched her.

When she woke up this morning, she was busy absorbing the fact that she had been reborn, and she forgot to let Gu Man know she had already regained consciousness. Tang Aining felt guilty about that.

Accompanied by a quick sound, the room door was pushed open. Two middle-aged women of the same age walked in. They were all in common, cheap clothes. Although their clothing was old and worn-out, it was clean and tidy.

Because they didn’t earn much money, they barely took good care of their skin. And they looked much older than their real age. No one would doubt if they said they were 50 years old.

“Mom, Aunt.”

Tang Aining opened her mouth first. She didn’t feel uncomfortable, because she had totally accept the fact that she had been reborn.

Firstly, she maintained Gu Ning’s memories, which reminded her of the deep mother’s love; secondly, she herself held great desire for a mother. Those were the reasons why Tang Aining swiftly accept Gu Man as her mother.

Gu Man made her think of her own mother. Those two both had been abandoned by a man, but Gu Man was luckier than Tang Aining’s mother.

Though living a hard life, Gu Man was alive at least.

But when Tang Aining, or Gu Ning opened her mouth, Gu Man and Gu Qing was surprised. They couldn’t believe their eyes, seeing Gu Ning sitting against the head of the bed.

The doctor had said there was congestion in Gu Ning’s brain, and it must be removed by surgery, but now she woke up herself.

“Ning, Ningning, you, you’re awake...” although being surprised, Gu Man reacted soon. She burst into tears immediately, striding ahead, wanting to hug Gu Ning, but was afraid to hurt her. Thus Gu Man stood there instead, not knowing where to put her hands.

“Ningning, you’re awake. You’re finally awake...”

Gu Qing rushed ahead as well. It was still unbearable for her, but she felt happy and excited.

“Mom, aunt, I’m awake,” Gu Ning said, holding Gu Man’s hands in hers to comfort her.

“Right, right. What a relief that you’re finally awake!” Gu Man cried out of happiness. She clutched Gu Ning’s hands in case her daughter would disappear.

Gu Qing was in tears of joy as well. Such a drama was a difficult test for normal human beings.

“Oh, I’ll go find the doctor,” Gu Qing realized first, and ran out directly.

Before long, the doctor walked in. He was also super surprised by the fact that Gu Ning was awake. What a magic!

But it still needed a comprehensive check to make sure it was real.

Therefore, the doctor arranged the exam for Gu Ning at once.

After the exam, Gu Qing went to buy food for Gu Ning, while Gu Man stayed by Gu Ning’s side to look after her.

Gu Ning felt the strong mother’s love from Gu Man.

It was the first time that she had been taken good care of ever since her mother had been in vegetative state.

Although when she had been with Qi Ziyue, she had heard of many sweet nothings, they were lies.

After the meal, Gu Qing was gone for afternoon work. And Gu Man was free for today and tomorrow. She had applied to have the rest separate three days’ break of this month together, when Gu Ning had been caught by an accident yesterday.

Gu Man had talked with Gu Ning for a while before she told her to have a good rest.

Gu Ning knew Gu Man hadn’t had any sleep since last afternoon, so she let her catch up on some sleep on a nearby empty bed.

Though Gu Ning was awake now, and Gu Man felt greatly relieved, she was still worried before the final result came out. So Gu Man was reluctant to take a break.

But Gu Ning said if Gu Man didn’t rest, she won’t neither. Thus Gu Man agreed at the end.

Gu Man was literally tired. She planned to lie down to comfort Gu Ning, but fell into a deep sleep in a few minutes.

As for Gu Ning, she couldn’t sleep at all. She’s staring at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened during her last lifetime.

All of a sudden, she saw a pair of feet walking by above her head. Gu Ning was astonished and had her mind back instantly, but there was nothing on the white ceiling.

Why she had seen a pair of feet walking by above her head? Was it a hallucination?

Gu Ning brought her eyes back from the ceiling. She rolled her body, focusing on the nearby bed where Gu Man was asleep. The woman had withered yellow skin with wrinkles all around her eyes and brow.

Gu Man, who had been living a hard life, never bought herself any skincare products, fine food or expensive clothes.

But she would try her best to give Gu Ning the best.

Fortunately, Gu Ning was always a good child. Although she was self-abased and introverted, she won’t compare with others because she knew her family couldn’t afford.

However, since Tang Aining was Gu Ning now, she wouldn’t allow herself and Gu Man to stay poor and weak. Additionally, she was going to take revenge, and she must be powerful.

She had ambition. Given that her enemy was the Tang family, she must be stronger than it.

Although the Tang family was the third richest family in the capital, it was still a super rich family with billions of assets. And in a third-tier city, it must be the top one family.

But the Tang family’s glorious achievements relied largely on Tang Aining’s effort.

Tang Aining had done countless illegal things for the Tang Family, stealing opponents’ confidential documents, killing people, for instances.

But Tang Aining had destroyed all the evidence for her own safety the last lifetime. It was impossible for her now to find and use those evidence to accuse the Tang family.

Once again, Gu Ning was distracted. She saw a person walking by a short distance away. Gu Ning was astonished again, and had her mind back at once.

But there was nobody walking by, but a white wall before her. Was she really having hallucination?

No, in addition to a person who was walking by, she had also seen a familiar door with a number plate said “106”.

the room 106 was exactly the patient room that diagonally across hers.

But, how was she able to see the door?

Without a reason, she believed it wasn’t a hallucination, but the truth.

Unconsciously, Gu Ning looked back at the wall. She focused on it.

After a while, the wall before her eyes became transparent. She could see the door of patient room 106, the patients who were walking about, the nurses and the doctors.

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Gu Ning’s mind.

Was this clairvoyance?

Gu Ning was struck dumb by this thought. She had a deep breath.

To make sure whether it was clairvoyance or not, Gu Ning immediately moved her sight to another wall. The wall gradually turned transparent, then she saw what were in the room, the patient beds, the patients and the equipment.

Now she was sure that it was clairvoyance.

But Gu Ning still felt unreal. She wanted more proofs. So she looked around afterwards.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning felt a sharp pain from her eyes, then she fell into unconsciousness.

In the dream, Gu Ning dreamed herself was sinking after she had jumped into the sea, and the red light from the red jade on her chest.

Then, she heard a distant light voice. The aged voice said, “There’s an ancient jade named the ‘Blood of the Phoenix’. It’s made of the blood of a phoenix and the soul of the earth. It has magical power, which enables you to live forever or be reborn.”

Suddenly, she woke up from her dream in surprise.

What, what had happened?

While Gu Ning was confused, a piece of information dawned on her.

After a while, Gu Ning finally figured it out.

The “Blood of the Phoenix” was made of the blood of a phoenix. Because it was an ancient object, it had a magical power. She could be reborn exactly because of this jade.
