Liu Xingwan felt as though her entire body was still immersed in agonizing pain, yet the excited and vulgar voice echoed in her ears.

"Don't worry, Wan'er, I'll take good care of you. I promise I will."

A buzzing sound filled her ears, seeming both near and far, leaving Liu Xingwan with an unbearable headache.

She struggled hard and suddenly flung her eyes open, her gaze reflecting an abruptly magnified face.

"Wan'er, you are truly beautiful and delightful. You can trust me, I promise to treat you well!"

As Zhao Daqing spoke, he leaned his face towards Liu Xingwan. His hasty demeanor suggested he couldn't wait to strip her bare right away.

In fact, that was what he was trying to do.

His hand reached for Liu Xingwan's belt.

Upon seeing Zhao Daqing's face, a sudden surge of hatred filled Liu Xingwan's previously confused eyes.

She slapped Zhao Daqing across the face with great force.

Zhao Daqing was stunned for a moment, and he paused before glaring at her viciously, "Liu Xingwan, you..."

Liu Xingwan loathed him to the core, undeterred by his vicious gaze. She threw another punch directly at Zhao Daqing's eye, causing him to yowl in pain and fall backwards onto the ground.

"Liu Xingwan, have you lost your mind? Are you seeking death?"

Before Zhao Daqing could finish his words, Liu Xingwan pounced on him, straddled him, and rained a flurry of punches on his face.

"You bastard! You scum even dare to appear in front of me; I'll beat you to death!"

"Zhao Daqing, you ruined and sold me, and you ruined my life! Now that I'm dead, I feel like a ghost, and yet you won't let me be, have you lost all humanity?"

"When I was alive, I allowed you to blind and bully me, but when I'm dead, I'm not going to be a fool and let you bully me any longer, go to hell, Zhao Daqing. You want to take advantage of me? Not in your next life!"

Liu Xingwan, thinking of the muddled words she had heard just now, felt sick to her stomach, and her attacks became more violent.

Zhao Daqing was left stunned by Liu Xingwan's flurry of slaps; his head was ringing, and he could barely understand Liu Xingwan's words, he only caught the phrase 'take advantage'.

"Liu Xingwan, didn't you agree to be with me? Isn't that why we came to this abandoned house? What's gotten into you? Why are you hitting me! If you really don't want to be with me, just say so. There are plenty of others who like me, Zhao Daqing. I'm not short of one Liu Xingwan!"

Zhao Daqing managed to seize Liu Xingwan's hands in a moment she was going frantic with her slaps, and yelled angrily.

His words left Liu Xingwan in bewilderment.

What did he mean by her agreeing to be with him that's why they came to this deserted house?

How could she possibly agree to have intercourse with Zhao Daqing after he had brought her to such a state, even planning to sell her to a perverted old man for a job?

In a moment of trance, Liu Xingwan was shoved beneath Zhao Daqing.

Liu Xingwan was almost out of breath as he sat on her.

He stared angrily at Liu Xingwan, and said maliciously, "Liu Xingwan, it was you who chased after me shamelessly, telling me how you liked me, loved me, that you wanted to marry no one but me, and even if we didn't get married, you'd give yourself to me. That's why I came to this house with you. What are you playing at now?"

Liu Xingwan:??? How could she possibly say such a thing?!!!

Zhao Daqing, this bastard, ruined her life. She had to leave her life behind to follow him. Not only did he treat her badly, abused her, and used her to earn money to support him, but he even tried to sell her to a perverted old man for a job. How could she possibly still like him, love him?

She'd rather die than marry him, let alone give herself to him before marriage. Go to hell!

Wait a second… why does that sound familiar?

Is this… Isn’t this what she said to Zhao Daqing in her previous life?

But she was already dead, became a ghost for many years already, how could this…

Seeing Liu Xingwan act crazily and then gaze blankly at him, her face constantly alternating, Zhao Daqing couldn’t help but feel tense.

Could this Liu Xingwan be a madwoman?

So was her behavior just now… was that a bout of madness?

Ssss…

Instinctively, Zhao Daqing wanted to let go of Liu Xingwan.

He didn’t want to be stuck around a madwoman.

But his gaze was immediately drawn to the open collar of Liu Xingwan's clothing.

Her fair slender neck, her distinctively elegant clavicles, and the smooth, soft skin under her clothes... Just the thought of it, one could imagine the beauty beneath the fabric.

In an instant, Zhao Daqing’s eyes sparkled with a fiery expression.

Even if Liu Xingwan was a madwoman, he must have her today!

It doesn't matter if she's mad; her body is enticing enough!

With that thought, Zhao Daqing reached out to grab the collar of Liu Xingwan's clothes, his eyes sparkling as if to tear it apart.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps and voices can be heard from the small path outside the desolate house.

"Hurry, hurry up. The shameless Liu Xingwan and Zhao Daqing are in there. I saw them hand in hand heading towards this old house. They must be here for a secret rendezvous."

"Aunt Hat, are you sure you saw it clearly? Liu Xingwan is engaged to the fourth son of the Mu family, she's Mu Jinchuan's fiancee. Everyone in the village knows about it, how could she be having an affair with Zhao Daqing? If you are wrong about Liu Xingwan and nothing is going on, then you are spreading rumors and you'll be held accountable!" Team Leader Liu Huaxing said loud and clear.

"Oh my, Team Leader, I, Aunt Hat, am not yet so old as to be unable to see clearly. Would I call everyone here to 'catch the cheaters' if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes?

Nowadays, the scrutiny into relationships between men and women is very strict. If people from outside the village hear about it, our village will become the subject of ridicule! I also don't want their shameful affairs to affect everyone, that's why I brought everyone here to catch them in the act.

It's better for their actions to be caught by us, members of our own village, rather than by outsiders. Once we catch them, we need to resolve this matter quickly so as not to tarnish the reputation of our village." Aunt Hat said, her face filled with anxiety.

With her "I'm doing all this for the sake of the village's reputation" demeanor, she genuinely managed to move the crowd.

"Yes, Aunt Hat is right, Team Leader. We can't let such people mess around with their relationships."

"That's right, Liu Xingwan, taking advantage of being the granddaughter of Elder Liu, has been arrogant enough already. It's not the first or second day she's been chasing after Zhao Daqing. It's not surprising if they come to this deserted place and do something."

"Tsk, that Liu Xingwan is clearly a shameless woman, which decent family's daughter would chase after a grown man's pants? She's still engaged to Mu Laosi. She hasn't even married him yet, and Mu Laosi's 'green hat' is already being worn so high!"

…

The distant conversations drifted to Liu Xingwan's ears, causing her head to explode with a bang.

Zhao Daqing, Aunt Hat, Team Leader Liu Huaxing, and the villagers who came to catch the adulterers...

Aren't all these people and things from when she was eighteen, when Zhao Daqing tricked her into the abandoned house?

But she's already dead, so how could such a thing happen again?

The scene before her eyes seemed to recreate the year when she stupidly did something out of ignorance.

Recreated...

Liu Xingwan's head buzzed. Could it be that she had been reborn?
