Su Jingning was lying on the bed. Her usually bright and delicate face was pale due to excessive blood loss. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her dark eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she was trapped in a nightmare, and she looked very painful.

In the dream, it was that strange and eerie ancient temple again. The ancient temple was shrouded in thick fog, revealing a mysterious and strange atmosphere everywhere. She stood in the fog, looking at Gu Yan'an, who was wearing a jet-black robe. His enchanting face was as pale as paper, and his handsome eyebrows were full of unsmoothed gloom. There were endless stone steps in front of the ancient temple. He knelt down at each step, as pious as a Buddhist in the holy land. Su Jingning wanted to call him, but he seemed to be unable to see her. He just knelt down devoutly and went to the ancient temple on the high ground.

Su Jingning followed him all the way. He knelt on each step until he reached the ancient temple, bent down slightly and stood up. Su Jingning looked back and found that the stone steps behind him had disappeared. The ancient temple was actually built in the air, floating in the gloomy clouds.

Seeing Gu Yan'an enter the ancient temple, she hurriedly followed him in. There were sculptures of ferocious gods in the temple, with evil spirits lingering all over their bodies. It seemed that they were staring at Gu Yan'an with blood-red eyes like copper bells, which made people's scalp tingle. Gu Yan'an just knelt in front of the Buddha statue with a calm expression.

"Are you really willing to sacrifice your life in exchange for her new life?"

A hoarse, cold, distant and old voice suddenly came from nowhere, scaring Su Jingning so much that his hair stood on end.

"Yes." Gu Yan'an opened his eyes, which were as deep and unfathomable as a cold ancient pool, and stared straight at the statue with an expressionless face.

"For someone who doesn't have you in his heart, are you really not regretful or resentful?" The mysterious voice was hoarse and harsh, making people frown, and there was sarcasm and disdain in the laughter.

Su Jingning stared at Gu Yan'an in a daze. Her mind went blank with a buzzing sound. A tear suddenly fell from her cheek. She took two steps back, her slender body swaying. "I'll give you your life in exchange for her new life."

........So, her rebirth was exchanged for Gu Yan'an's life!

Su Jingning looked at the man kneeling on the ground. Even though he was wearing the darkest black clothes, it couldn't hide his elegance. He seemed to smile, and his smile was warm and beautiful.

"I have no complaints and no regrets."

"Okay, this is her reincarnation bead. Use your heart's blood to water it in front of the gods for 49 days, and you will have a chance to help her be reborn."

"This medicine can protect you from dying if you take blood from your heart."

The mysterious voice echoed in the ancient temple, and a black mist appeared in front of the statue. After the black mist dissipated, a crystal clear glass cup with ancient and complex patterns carved on it appeared in front of Gu Yan'an. A teardrop-shaped crystal bead hung in the cup, emitting a bright white light.

Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes and looked at the crystal bead with tenderness in his eyes. He reached out his hand to touch it gently, but then retracted it.

He picked up the pill beside him and swallowed it, then took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation.

"No, Gu Yan'an! No!" Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an who stabbed her chest with the dagger without hesitation, and suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in her heart. She rushed towards Gu Yan'an, trying to grab his dagger, but she watched the dagger pierce into his heart, and she couldn't stop it.

Su Jingning was so anxious that he was shaking all over. He half-knelt in front of Gu Yan'an, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

She looked at Gu Yan'an, who was sweating profusely and had a pale face. She forced herself to drip blood into the glass cup. The veins on her forehead bulged with pain. This was such a heart-wrenching pain, how could it not hurt!

The blood dripped onto the white crystal beads and was quickly absorbed by the crystal beads, which was weird and fantastic.

"Gu Yan'an... why did you..." Su Jingning cried, her voice trembling slightly. How could she deserve such sacrifice from him?

She looked at the blood on Gu Yan'an's chest and the blood-stained dagger that fell to the ground. It turned out that her dream on New Year's Day, the scene that she tried her best to see but couldn't, was like this.

For a full 49 days, she watched Gu Yan'an faint from the pain time and time again, and then force himself to wake up again and again to water the reincarnation pearl with his blood. She watched his face gradually turn pale due to blood loss, but she could do nothing.

Finally, for the last time, she knelt beside Gu Yan'an. He looked at the reincarnation crystal bead that he had watered for 49 days, which was glowing with a faint red light. He seemed to see again the girl he had loved all his life, bright and kind, always dazzling and wise, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Su Jingning...see you in the next life, don't be afraid of me...A Yan will never hurt Su Jingning..."

Su Jingning bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

"Ayan will never hurt Su Jingning..." This is what she said herself. On that day, after she rescued Gu Yan'an in the suburbs of Yucheng, he asked her why she was not afraid of his murderous appearance. At that time, she joked nonchalantly: "Beautiful Ayan will not hurt me."

Unexpectedly, she heard it again today, but it was his last words before he died...

When Su Jingning woke up, she had returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The setting sun shone through the window onto her bed, bringing warmth. There was no one in the room. She slowly propped herself up and sat up. Her hands were still shaking and her lips were pale. She raised her hand to wipe her face, which was wet and there was still pain in her heart.

"Ning'er! You finally woke up!"

As soon as the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo walked in, she saw Su Jingning sitting on the bed with his head down. Her face was full of surprise. After sleeping for so many days, he finally woke up.

"You are finally awake. If you had continued to sleep, I wouldn't know what to do."

Her eyes were filled with tears. Her daughter was so badly injured that she wished she could transfer the pain to her and bear it for her. She gently sat down beside Su Jingning's bed and lifted the hair that fell from her ears.

"Ningning? Why are you crying? But the wound hurts again? Yun Ya! Go quickly and ask Imperial Physician Du to come." Lady Zhenguo looked at Su Jingning, whose face was full of tears, and immediately got nervous and hurried out to call the imperial physician.

Su Jingning couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She lowered her eyes and looked at the bracelet on her wrist that Master Huihai had given her that day. The red spots in the crystal clear teardrop-shaped crystal beads, so that's how it came about. It turned out that the old friend that Master Huihai was talking about was Gu Yan'an.

She placed the bracelet on her chest, tears streaming down her face. This is his fate. Gu Yan'an, why are you so stupid?
