In Stoneville, Minerock.

The camping area caught fire.

The air was growing hotter and thick smoke was spreading in all directions as if the world were about to end.

"Go. Quickly!"

From the fire came a yell.

The man received four shots. One in the shoulder, one in the heart, and two in the abdomen.

It was gushing with blood. His face went pale, as if his life were about to end. But he fiercely held his breath as he carefully eyed the girl in front of him.

Mu Lingxi's eyes were closed, and she was reliving the moment when he defended her from the shot in her head.

"Why? You saved me, why?"

He had a way to get away.

He had the option to stop this. Why did he defend her with his body?

"All I want is for you to live."

A smile suddenly appeared on the man's usually indifferent face. He was gentle, and there was a doting reluctance in his dark eyes.

The defense-filled heart of Mu Lingxi was moved.

However, she lost control of her emotions. "Do you think I'll believe you? This is cruel. If you want me to be happy, why are you abandoning me? Jin Fengyao, do you know how cruel this is? Why did you take the bullet for me? Why?"

"Lingxi, you're the last person I want to hurt in this world. But I still forced you to a dead end. My life is not worth pitying. I just hope that you won't live in the hatred of the past. Don't hate anyone in the Jin family anymore."

Mu Lingxi's eyes turned red.

"Not hate the Jin family?"

His words were simple, but it was very difficult to execute.

If it weren't for the Jin family, she wouldn't have become like this!

"Do you know who was behind this explosion? Your beloved sister, Jin Xiangwan. How can I not hate them?"

Mu Lingxi lost control of her emotions and became hysterical. She couldn't mask her eyes full of hatred.

Jin Fengyao ached and his breathing quickened. "I know. I know all about your suffering and pain. That's why Jin Xiangwan paid the price. She's dead. Lingxi, go. No one will hurt you again in the future. Just go."

Mu Lingxi was stunned. "What do you mean?"

But what answered her was his weakening breathing and his gradually disappearing heartbeat.

"Jin Fengyao, answer me!"

"Jin Fengyao."

"Jin Fengyao!"

The man opened his eyes and finally swallowed his last breath.

Mu Lingxi felt a shot to her heart. The world in front of her was collapsing.

She reminisced about all the things he did.

He was doting and tolerant of her.

He had never been as cruel to her as she had imagined.

She was the one blinded by hatred.

Now that he was dead, she felt as if her heart had withered along with him.

It was not until this moment that Mu Lingxi realized that she loved him.

She loved him so much.

But it was too late.

He was dead.

And she had also reached the end of her life.

Dark blood filled her mouth and she coughed it out.

The poison had already turned her stomach upside down.

She couldn't live nor did she want to.

But she didn't expect that he would be accompanying her.

If she could do it all over, she would not end up here again.

Mu Lingxi curled up in pain and fell into his arms. She closed her eyes, thinking that it would be nice if they could sleep together forever.

Her thoughts became darker. While she was in a trance, she felt a sharp pain in her body.

She whimpered, but was comforted by a gentle voice.

The man tried his best to kiss her gently. His fingers caressed every inch of her skin. His fingertips seemed to carry an electric current, and wherever they passed, they would easily cause her to tremble.

Mu Lingxi twisted her body uneasily, and her whole body was hot. It was extremely painful.

She groaned.

"Be good, bear with it. It'll stop hurting soon."

A deep voice seemed to have traveled through time and space, ringing in her ears. It was distant yet close, gentle yet hidden.

Mu Lingxi's consciousness was blurred, and she could only float and sink in the waves of desire.

Soon, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

She got up and looked around. She felt that the scene in front of her was inexplicably familiar.

It was the Jin family home.

This was her room at the Jin family.

Mu Lingxi was in shock. She thought it was a dream, but the burning sensation between her legs was still there. She could tell that it was not a dream.

She hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

She saw herself in the mirror.

She had a flawless face with delicate facial features—her exceedingly beautiful charm. There were a series of kiss marks along her body...

This was Mu Lingxi from six years ago.

She had just turned 20 and was still a college student. She was the prettiest in Jing City. She was also known as the 'Uncrowned Queen' since she was born in the Jin family.

Mu Lingxi was dumbfounded.

Had she been reincarnated?

Before the shock could kick in, someone knocked on the door. A sweet voice came from outside. "Lingxi, are you awake?"

Mu Lingxi quickly put on her pajamas and turned around, only to see Jin Xiangwan walk into her room.

At this moment, she was convinced. She had been reincarnated.

She was given a chance to make things right.

Mu Lingxi was so happy that she trembled. She couldn't help but tear up. She was about to cry.

But she held back her tears, washed her face, and walked out of the room.

As soon as she came out, she saw Jin Xiangwan. Mu Lingxi replayed his death in her previous life, and a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed across her eyes. She asked, "Why are you here?"

Jin Xiangwan didn't notice her change in mood and walked up to her intimately. She held her arm and said, "Well, of course, it's because I'm worried about you. I didn't expect you to be so bad at drinking. You ran around drunk, it worried me for a whole night. I heard that my brother brought you back. Did anything happen to you last night?"

"What can happen?"

Mu Lingxi smiled calmly, but she recalled what had happened last night.

She had lost her virginity last night.

With the excuse of a reunion with her classmates, Jin Xiangwan drugged her wine.

She didn't know she would lose control and get entangled with a few men full of malicious intent.

However, she didn't expect to meet Jin Fengyao along the way.

She could not remember what had happened after he took her away.

By the time she woke up, she was already in a mess.

Mu Lingxi was well aware of Jin Xiangwan's visit.

She just wanted to make sure if something had happened between her and Jin Fengyao.

Therefore, the sneer in her heart became even more intense.

In her past life, Jin Xiangwan had spoken ill of Jin Fengyao behind his back to prevent her from getting closer to him.

There were even rumors about Jin Fengyao. How he was cold, aloof, heartless, and cruel...

The general context was that Jin Fengyao had bought a company. After the company went bankrupt, the boss had jumped off the building with his three-year-old son and wife due to a huge debt.

At that time, when Mu Lingxi heard it, she didn't think much of it.

Her parents were also forced to die by someone cruel like this. There was always anger in her heart.

That was why she willingly believed that Jin Fengyao was a cunning businessman.

So when she saw Jin Fengyao, she avoided him and tried to stay away from him as much as possible.

Now that Jin Xiangwan used her old tricks again, she wouldn't be fooled as before!
