When she rushed forward to question him, the new girl pushed her off the sidewalk. An aerocar promptly ran her over, splattering blood everywhere.
When the old marshal heard of the news, he fainted. It was his adjutant and his students that helped arrange XunMi’s matters. Even though she was sent to the hospital quickly, she was still diagnosed as dead on arrival. The Nian family had spent generations sacrificing for their country. However, they had received their standing in their country at the cost of numerous family members’ lives. After suffering from his son and his daughter-in-law’s deaths, the old marshal was not ready to send off another one of his juniors. To allow marshal to relax, his students created a virtual reality game called “Chaos”. In this second world, they put in Nian XunMi’s consciousness. They used the data stream to stimulate her into waking up. In the original storyline, Nian XunMi woke up on the day after the banquet. She coincidentally missed the sc.u.m man and the new girl’s engagement announcement. Her ident.i.ty was also uncovered. Her relationship with the two other parties also was retold so that she was using her influence to pressure them and she finally got what she deserved. Her consuming hatred made her use her grandfather’s power to attack the new girl. In the end, her plan self-destructed. The winners, the sc.u.m man and the new girl, sent the elder marshal into a mental asylum after his beloved granddaughter died.
Meanwhile, one of the main reasons they were able to take down the old marshal was due to the male lead Si YuFan. The sc.u.m man had made a connection with the male lead and became his righthand man.
XunMi was about to transmigrate into Nian XunMi’s body because her ident.i.ty and awkward setting. The counterattacking system had thus defined her as one of the second female leads. Moreover, her leftover grievances were too strong and needed to be relieved. Even if XunMi wasn’t this second female lead, she would still want to help complete her wishes.
This person that eats from the bowl which staring at the pot shouldn’t even be considered men {T/N: meaning a kind of person that has something, say a woman, but covets more, say another woman}. He used his main girlfriend’s money and resources to develop a career. But then he got a new lover but still wanted to hold onto the old? How shameless.
She walked into the bathroom to take a bath, hoping to get the feeling of discomfort and stickiness off her body. It was only 3 in the afternoon. There was still a bit of time before the banquet began. It was more than enough time for her to do what she needed to do. Yi Ling and Yu LingXi better prepare themselves for the big gift she had coming up.
She asked BaoBao to dial the old marshal’s phone for her. The original soul worried about her grandfather the most.
“What, did something happen to Xiao Xun? I’m coming home now. Hurry up and call the doctors!” A tired yet tough voice sounded into XunMi’s ears, causing tears to form uncontrollably in the corners of her eyes. She knew that this was the original soul’s influence. Her grandfather had ended up going crazy and being sent to a mental hospital. Her grandfather had been the country’s most powerful marshal who had captured the adoration of numerous people. But because of her, everything had been ruined. She regretted it now, yet she didn’t have any chance of coming back. The one person the original soul’s felt most in debt to in this lifetime was her grandfather.
XunMi felt the uneven beating of her heart in her chest and lowered her head. I’ll help you get revenge, I’ll protect your grandfather, I’ll make sure to get back everything they owe you.
‘Thank you.’ A light, light voice sounded in her consciousness before disappearing.
“h.e.l.lo, what’s going on?” After not hearing anything coming through the line, the voice on the other end became even more anxious.
XunMi could hear him yell at his driver to drive faster. Tears streamed down her face.
“Grandfather.” She said lightly. Her emotions were complicated. She felt thankful that this man never gave up on Nian XunMi. She felt relieved that his tragic ending could still be prevented.
“Xiao-. Xiao Xun, is that you?” The old marshal’s voice trembled with disbelief.
“Grandfather, it’s me. I’m awake. Drive slowly, I’m not going anywhere.” XunMi smiled lightly.
“Okay. Okay, okay. Xiao Xun, wait for grandfather. I’ll be right there.” The old marshal instantly glowed with life. All his vitality and excitement returned to him in a flash. The big stone in his heart finally disappeared. The tension in his body finally relaxed. The two men next to him were also happily surprised by the news. Young miss has finally awoken. Their marshal and teacher could finally let go of his worries now.

Si YuFan had successfully broken into king of G.o.ds ranks. He had been just about to go to XunMi in search of her praise and love when he received her message. The instructions caused him to furrow his brows. Find her? It sounded like there was a deeper meaning behind this.
┗|｀o′|┛He didn’t want to use his brain. But for XunMi, he had to. He exited out of the game. As soon as he left the virtual world, he went to call his group of childhood friends.
He then called over Wen Shu and adjutant general to set up a search. Since XunMi said to ‘come find her’, then she definitely left the game already. He never saw what she looked like with her mask off. But as long as he saw her in person, he believed that he would be able to recognize her. She had an aura and scent too unique for him to mistake.
“Find her. Three days. After three days, I want to see results.” Si YuFan knocked on the table and spoke firmly.
“Commander Si, do you have any other information besides a name?” Wen Shu looked down at the two quiet characters on the paper in his hand with great difficulty. Why was his boss becoming more and more stubborn?
It was fine to look for someone. But why did he only have a name? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
There were so many planets in this empire. There were more than ten billion people and it wasn’t uncommon to share the same name. Was he supposed to go planet by planet looking for her? How many years would that take? More importantly, he was only give him three days’ time. Three days. Not thirty, not three months, not three years!!!
The adjutant general stood on the side watching happily. Luckily, he was in charge of physical force on their team so he wasn’t tasked with such an impossible mission.
Si YuFan didn’t care what these two were thinking. He definitely was going to find XunMi. And then he would hide her away well. She had said it herself: as long as he found her, she would agree to anything he wanted.
Wen Shu saw the determination in his boss’ face and almost burst into tears. How was he supposed to appease his boss’ unreasonable demands when he was finally using his brain?
After kicking the two out, Si YuFan went home to find his mother.
. . .
“Grandfather, why are you in a rush? That’s not good for your body.” XunMi lectured. She quickly rushed forward to help support him. His body was considered in stellar shape for a man already pa.s.sed 90. In this interstellar world, age had already increased to 103. 90 could only be considered the cusp of only age.
Nian Zheng held XunMi’s hand and stared at her before finally realizing that his granddaughter really had awoken.
