It was warm and unbelievably comfortable. Li Wei haven"t felt so nice in such a long time that she wanted to lay there forever. Was this what people called heaven?For a villainess like her, shouldn"t she be sent to the underworld for punishment of twelve lifetimes? Really, she wasn"t complaining. If death felt this good, then she actually didn"t mind... It"s just that she"s gotten hungry by now.
Li Wei laid on the soft surface with her eyes closed until she felt a person"s head rested against her arm. Then the woman"s heavy cries filled the once silent s.p.a.ce. Li Wei was sure the woman wasn"t mourning for her. Could it be that someone else had died too?
In her life, there was no one who loved her. After she wedded Khan Bojing, his family hated her. She was unsuitable for their greatly accomplished son. Not only was she a n.o.body with no background, Li Wei also got pregnant out of wedlock. She went through many struggles to raise little Khan Bohai.
With the mention of her son"s name in her mind, a tear dropped down her cheek. How was the little bun doing? If there"s anything she regretted, then it was not loving the little bun enough. For all these years she hated that she couldn"t bring herself to love her son. Khan Bohai was a cute and obedient son, Li Wei didn"t know how she gave birth to such a loving child. He always tried to get closer to her, but the more he tried, the more she backed away. She couldn"t love him because he was the exact mini version of his father, and she despised that man.
"You must be so ashamed of yourself that you"re crying even in your death."
That"s right, whoever was talking was right. Li Wei unconsciously nodded without thinking.
"You stupid neice! How could you think of leaving this beautiful aunt alone in this world? How could you kill yourself? Just wait fifty more years up there, this aunt will properly teach you a lesson!"
Wait a minute, who was this woman cursing at? As a villainess, Li Wei couldn"t stand the insults so she opened her eyes and sat up.
When the supposedly dead Li Wei sat up abruptly, the woman by the bedside fell down in shock. "are you coming back as a ghost? You must be a ghost!"
Li Wei realized that she was on a bed, in an extremely familiar room. The woman was even more familiar. Seeing the shocked expression of the woman on the floor, she grinned. "Aunt Rin, are you dead too?"
Li Fahrin looked at her neice for a while, her hands reached out to touch Li Wei"s smooth cheeks. She thought for a moment and yelled, "Physician Lu please come in here, my dead neice has come back alive and claims that I"m dead!"
After checking that Li Wei was indeed still a human and not a ghost for the tenth time, Physician Lu prescribed some herbal medicine before he was dismissed.
"You silly niece, don"t do this ever again. This frail aunt of yours can"t take this much," Li Fahrin spoke as her eyes filled with tears. Really, how could her neice killed herself over an unrequited crush? Such a silly girl she was. "How could this aunt live if something were to happen to you? This aunt will be skinned alive the moment she enters the heavens by your parents!"
For the first time since she awoke, Li Wei laughed. She was indeed silly. In this world, even if no one else cared about her, Aunt Rin loved her. She wanted to slap herself for forgetting the incredible woman in front of her. To calm down Aunt Rin, Li Wei opened her arms for a long hug and gently said, "Aunt Rin, I"m really sorry. I shouldn"t have hurt myself for a man who doesn"t care about me. From now on, I will be a good neice to you. When you"re eighty, I will feed you your favorite moon cakes!"
Li Fahrin nodded with relief. Her silly niece was still very much like her usual self.
That night, Li Wei laid in bed with deep thoughts. Earlier she was able to a.s.sure Aunt Rin that she wasn"t going to do anything crazy for Hua Xifeng again. She really didn"t know what happened, but it seems like she"s gone back to when she was sixteen. Maybe this was a dream, she"d have to wait and see if anything changed the next morning.
Aunt Rin wasn"t lying, during this time in her life, she tried to kill herself.
That summer of her sixteenth year, Li Wei snuck into the royal banquet to get a glimpse of the popular Hua Xifeng. When she found out that Hua Xifeng was her childhood savior, she fell for him fast and deep. However, there were many obstacles in her way. She was only an orphan and he was the second prince of the nation. From the age of seven, all she ever had in her life was Aunt Rin. She knew it would be almost impossible for her to love him, but she still fantasized about telling him that she was the young girl he"d saved when they were young. Would he be happy to meet her again too?
But Li Wei didn"t get the chance to tell him. That night of the banquet, her cousin Li Zhilan caught the second prince"s eyes and soon, there was an engagement announced between the two. Li Zhilan was the loved daughter of the prime minister. She was a perfect match for Hua Xifeng, who fell head over heels for her.
Li Wei was so sad when she heard the news that she tried to kill herself. She waited until evening when Aunt Rin was busy with business then took the poison she"s prepared. She didn"t die though, because the poison she took was just sleeping medicine. Later down the road, Li Wei found out that her maid, San"er, had switched the bottles. At that time, she thought the bottle in her hand was poison and drank so much that she was knocked out for three nights. Physician Lu had a.s.sured Aunt Rin of this, but the woman was just too worried to think logically.
Since that incident, Li Wei thought of all ways to take Hua Xifeng for herself. She started on a revengeful path full of anger, but the more she tried to take Li Zhilan down, the further she fell into the traps of her own doing.
Li Zhilan and Li Wei were never fond of each other"s. The two were cousins, but the childhoods they led were drastically different. From birth Li Zhilan had everything. Her loving parents gave her anything she wanted. She led an easy and carefree life. In her eyes, Li Wei was a pitiful financial project her aunt took on.
From birth, Li Wei was the only sole survivor of her family. At age seven, Aunt Rin finally found her at the orphanage she grew up in and adopted her. This changed her life from a beggar to a wealthy lady, but Aunt Rin was often away for business trips. Li Wei didn"t know the comfort of having parents. She didn"t know how it felt to be loved. For any problems that she encountered, she took upon herself to solve it. In her eyes, Li Zhilan was a useless, rich, and spoiled girl who had it too easy.
As the female lead, Li Zhilan"s beauty could not compare to Li Wei, the villainess. But for what she lacked in appearance, Li Zhilan made up by her talents and charms. Thus, not only the first male lead, but also the second male lead fell for her bright and kind personality. With the two strong men by her side willing to do anything for her, Li Zhilan was untouchable.
The more she thought about her life, the more Li Wei realized that she was a fool. Her one sided love brought so much destruction to everyone. She ended hurting so many innocent lives. If this really was a miracle and she"s really been reborn, she vowed to change her fate.
Forget the first female lead.
Forget the first male lead. .
All Li Wei needed was to get a good sleep and then made further plans when she woke up in the afternoon tomorrow. Yes, that"s all she needed.
Also, she couldn"t forget-- she needed to find the second male lead.
Yes, she needed to do that.
