In front of Huyen Chi was a completely unfamiliar face, staring at her through the mirror. When she blinked, that face blinked too. When she raised her hand to touch her cheek, the girl in the mirror did the same.
"It hurts…" Huyen Chi groaned softly, the pain from her wrist making her frown. When she looked down, she discovered that blood had dyed a large patch of her wrist red.
She remembered slipping and falling into the sea, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the cold floor.
Questions flooded her mind: Who am I? Where is this? Why have I become someone else?
The pain in her wrist pierced through every cell in her brain, reminding her that this was not a dream, but reality.
Even so, Huyen Chi still didn't want to believe it, she thought this was just a dream.
She panicked and ran around the room looking for an escape, but the door was locked from the outside.
"Open the door! Is anyone there? Please open the door!" Huyen Chi banged on the door and screamed, her voice gradually becoming hoarse. But the only response to her was a terrifying silence.
Exhausted, she staggered back to the mirror, leaned against the wall, then slowly slid down to the cold floor.
Looking at the reflection in the mirror, she burst out laughing, a laugh like that of a lunatic. It was real… she had come back to life in someone else's body!
It took quite a while for Huyen Chi to calm down. She looked carefully at her new face in the mirror. It was a beautiful face.
It took her a long time to remember: this was the woman once known as the most beautiful beauty in City S.
Back then, Thanh Nha was the center of everyone's attention. Not only did she have a gorgeous appearance, she also came from a wealthy family.
To outsiders, Thanh Nha seemed like a gentle, warm, and perfect girl. But no one expected that behind that beauty was cruelty. Thanh Nha ruthlessly killed her own younger sister to steal her lover.
What people couldn't understand was why Ly Nam Vuong still married Thanh Nha.
Although he declared he would marry her, the grand wedding everyone expected never took place.
After a long time, everything gradually faded into oblivion. However, a few days ago an anonymous account suddenly posted a video with the caption:
"Does anyone still remember this beauty? Leave a comment."
As soon as the video was uploaded, it quickly attracted thousands of views and comments, mostly harsh criticism and curses spreading at lightning speed, making the story about Thanh Nha suddenly resurface.
When the video appeared on her news feed, she just scrolled past. But her friends were different, they were very excited. They spent hours digging up old news about Thanh Nha, then eagerly shared it on their personal pages.
What interested the public most remained unchanged: Why did Ly Nam Vuong, knowing Thanh Nha's crime, still accept marrying her.
Many speculated that Ly Nam Vuong married Thanh Nha just to torment her, as a way of revenge. Others believed she was so beautiful that he couldn't resist her charm.
After two years, people finally learned Ly Nam Vuong's true identity, as the most powerful man in City S.
Previously, everyone thought he was just a drifter, wandering the streets with no stable job. Thanks to acquaintances, he had a relatively stable job, driving two beautiful young ladies to school. But he only drove Linh – Thanh Nha's younger sister. Whenever the older sister got in the car, she was kicked out, and from then on he became Linh's personal driver.
After Linh's death, Ly Nam Vuong's true identity was revealed.
This story consumed countless pages of newspapers and media. But in the end, only those involved knew the truth.
Thanh Nha's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of footsteps echoing in the hallway.
The door swung open, revealing the figure of a cold man in a perfectly tailored black suit. It was Ly Nam Vuong, the wealthy, powerful man desired by thousands of women. But at the same time, he was also her husband – Thanh Nha's husband now.
Ly Nam Vuong's eyes swept across the room, stopping where the bloodstains were scattered on the floor. He frowned, then shifted his cold gaze to Thanh Nha, where her wrist still bore a bleeding cut.
A faint cold smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked toward her.
Thanh Nha hadn't yet reacted when he grabbed the back of her neck and shoved her face down on the floor, where the blood hadn't yet dried.
"You think dying is that easy?" His voice was low, cold, and emotionless.
The metallic scent of blood filled Thanh Nha's nose, making her nauseous, but she bit her lip to hold it back.
Ly Nam Vuong stood with his arms crossed in front of her, his eyes cold, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
"You got what you wanted, so you must live to enjoy it. If you die, who will enjoy it for you, don't you think that's a pity?"
She lowered her head, wiping away the blood on her lips and face.
"That's right. I let you live alone in loneliness for the past two years. It seems I must do something to make your life less boring, right?" He looked down at her, his eyes icy cold.
Meanwhile, Thanh Nha's beautiful face turned pale, drained of all blood.
"Listen carefully." His voice was low, carrying a warning. "I will give you a good life, exactly as you wish. If you dare to use death again…"
He crouched down to face her, his eyes turning cold and merciless.
"I can't say what the consequences will be, but I guarantee you won't like them."
With that, he pushed her shoulder hard, making her fall to the floor.
"Come in."
Immediately, the door opened, and four men entered with cold faces and sharp eyes. Ly Nam Vuong pointed at her and said,
"Take good care of her."
"Yes!" the four men replied in unison.
Thanh Nha looked up, her eyes filled with panic, but no one cared about her fear.
