Chapter 1
“Xiaochun, let’s call off the engagement.”
In a high-end bar, the man said this guiltily.
Shen Chun raised her glass and splashed it at the man opposite her without hesitation.
The sticky champagne slid from his hair and landed on Lin Huai’s face, which had an affectionate yet desperate expression. His expression changed drastically as he roared, “Shen Chun, are you out of your mind?!”
Shen Chun curled her lips into a mocking smile and asked, “Is this the excuse you spent so much effort to fabricate in order to end the engagement?”
“Why are you still so immature?!” Lin Huai’s expression was a little stiff as he took a deep breath to suppress his displeasure and anger. “Can’t you think for my sake?! The fortune teller said that I can’t get married within three years, or I’ll get a serious illness and might even die. You love me so much. Can you bear to see me die?”
“You can’t wait three years, so I asked for a divorce because I didn’t want to delay you!”
The man spoke eloquently, but Shen Chun couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re such a pretentious hypocrite. If you had admitted that you cheated on me, I might have some respect for you, but you want to do immoral things while maintaining a good reputation.”
Lin Huai’s expression froze. Just as he was about to retort, Shen Chun splashed another glass of wine at him and stopped him.
“It’s only been ten days since my family went bankrupt and my parents passed away, but you can’t wait to break off the engagement! Are you so sure that Fu Mei will marry you so quickly?” When she looked at Lin Huai, her gaze was no longer as timid as usual.
When Lin Huai’s true intentions were exposed, his expression changed a few times.
In his heart, Shen Chun had always been meek and diffident, so he thought that she would definitely agree to annul the engagement with him. However, not only did she splash wine all over him today, but she also exposed him in public. It was as if she had suddenly changed into a different person.
Shen Chun knew what he was thinking. She had changed so much because the former Shen Chun, who was always at his mercy, was already dead.
Ten days ago, the Shen family’s parents passed away in a car accident. The company they had established also went bankrupt because of the shareholders. Only the Host and her seven-year-old brother were left. Unexpectedly, on the way home, the Host was pushed into the river and drowned.
For some reason, a soul from an alternate world had transmigrated into this body.
In her previous life, Shen Chun was a big shot in the Xuan Sect. During the riot, she was plotted against and severely injured. In order to save the lives of tens of thousands of people in the town, she sacrificed herself, but for some reason, she obtained a second life. She used a few days to learn more about her current world. As she was adapting to this world, the Host’s fiancé couldn’t wait to end the engagement.
Her fiancé was a typical gold digger. Because the original Host had a pure yin physique, she had to choose a man with a pure yang constitution and get married before the age of 20. Lin Huai had been chosen by the Shen family when he was young.
The Shen family had sponsored him all the way to university and even covered his expenses for so many years. They were only waiting for Shen Chun to marry Lin Huai when she was 19 years old.
However, they didn’t expect Lin Huai to be so scheming. Previously, he acted concerned and considerate towards Shen Chun. Now that the Shen family was bankrupt, he revealed his true colors and immediately hooked up with the daughter of the wealthy Fu family.
Now, he even wanted to break off the engagement in the name of not delaying Shen Chun. It was really disgusting.
People were already looking over. Lin Huai wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and said affectionately, “Forget it, Shen Chun. If slandering me can make you happier, I’ll listen to you.”
Shen Chun sneered, but her gaze suddenly froze on Lin Huai’s forehead.
His forehead was dark, and a foreboding air lingered around his face. It seemed that he was going to be in trouble.
“Be careful of what you say. When you choose to use a groundless excuse, this excuse will gradually come true. Lin Huai, you’d better not get married for the next three years. Otherwise, no one can save your life.”
Lin Huai’s expression was ugly and he finally lost his temper. “Shen Chun! Don’t think that I’ll change my mind just because of this. Not to mention a curse, even if you kneel down and beg me, it’s impossible!”
“Me begging you? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?” Shen Chun smiled disdainfully as she fiddled with her fingers. “Three, two, one.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a wine bottle flew towards Lin Huai and smashed into his mouth. Screams sounded in the bar. Lin Huai covered his mouth and felt warm blood seeping out from between his fingers.
Shen Chun did this? How was that possible?!
“Ah! The wine bottle hit someone!”
A woman walked over from a nearby booth. She studied Lin Huai, then pulled three stacks of money from her bag and threw them at him.
“You’re a little ugly. Otherwise, I could have had some fun with you. Take this money to pay your medical fee. The extra is compensation.”
Lin Huai held the money in humiliation and looked at Shen Chun, only to see her shoo him calmly. “Go quickly. If your face is ruined, the Fu family will look down on you even more.”
“Just you wait! No matter what, I have to break off the engagement with you!” Lin Huai glared at Shen Chun angrily, then he immediately rushed to the hospital.
Shen Chun watched him leave in a hurry with mockery in her eyes.
This was only the beginning. There were still many calamities in Lin Huai’s life.
She asked for another glass of wine and sat at the bar as she sipped it. Lin Huai’s incident reminded her that in another month, this body would turn 20.
That fortune teller was telling the truth. If she couldn’t marry a man with a pure yang fate before the age of 20, she would die. In her previous life, she could easily resolve such a small matter, but after her revival, her spiritual power was already very low, so she could only let nature take its course.
It was quite a challenge to find a man suitable for marriage within a month.
Shen Chun put down her wine glass and was about to turn around and leave when she realized that there was a commotion behind her. She followed everyone’s gaze and saw a man walking out of the crowd. The man was wearing a formal suit and looked out of place in the bar. But even so, his handsome appearance made everyone around him pale in comparison.
That chiseled face seemed to have been carefully carved by God. People couldn’t help but feel mesmerized by his face.
There were already people whispering, “Who is this person?”
