Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

The bed photo incident has not yet subsided, and the paparazzi have leaked a video of Shen Junhui hugging women left and right in a Paris nightclub, and many new bed photos have been leaked, and there is more than one female protagonist! What chilled me the most was that the paparazzi leaked a recording, in which Shen Junhui said that these things were nothing, and he was just playing around with those women! All the men in this circle are like this. As his legally married wife, I should clean up his mess, not cause him trouble! My behavior is simply unreasonable! The main wife should have the demeanor of the main wife! And even if he can't convince me to forgive him, his grandfather and mother will definitely help him convince me, so he is not afraid at all! He is confident that I will stay with him. Rong Zixuan can't compare with him in wealth, and Li Zhanwen can't get past his mother, so he is my best choice!

Just by hearing his voice, I could already imagine Shen Junhui's nonchalant expression! It seems I'd overestimated him. I'd assumed he was just hiding abroad, afraid to face me, or at most, irresponsible and trying to avoid problems, but I didn't expect him to go even further! And most importantly, the woman I met that day was giving media interviews everywhere, publicly posting photos of her and Shen Junhui on social media, and constantly reminiscing about their early relationship. I could tell she was hoping to capitalize on this wave of traffic to become famous. After all, being a black celebrity is still a celebrity! Models only have a few years of youth to thrive, and with this wave of traffic, maybe they can even break into the entertainment industry!

All of these things combined, and the media coverage outside the villa increased rather than decreased. I had no choice but to let my three children continue to live with Li Zhanwen. To make matters worse, I received a message from my mother that my childhood friend Xiaohong had passed away!

I read the simple words over and over again: "Xiao Hong has been cremated today. I hope you accept my condolences!" I couldn't believe the message. I pinched myself; it hurt! I immediately messaged Xiao Hong, hoping she'd reply, telling me it was all a misunderstanding! After all, rumors in the village spread like wildfire, and as they spread, they became increasingly outrageous.

Ten minutes later, Xiaohong replied to me. I excitedly clicked on it to take a look, but it made me even more desperate!

"My sister passed away today" are just a few words, but they are so suffocating.

"You're kidding me! Today is not April Fools' Day!"

"I'm Xiaoqin. My sister passed away this morning and has been cremated." The other party's text instantly made me fall into pain.

"You've got to be kidding! Didn't you promise me to get a physical every year?"

"My sister went two years ago, but not last year. When she went for a checkup, she was already in the late stages of the disease and the doctors were helpless."

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"She only wants to leave you with the best look!"

"You're kidding me, right?"

"No, I really am Xiaoqin, my sister is gone!" Then the other party sent a shocking picture, which was Xiaohong's death certificate!

I read the death certificate word for word, repeatedly confirming the deceased's name. It was indeed Xiaohong! Why? Before I traveled through time, I regretted that she hadn't discovered it sooner. That's why I've been making her go for checkups every year, so I can catch and treat it in time! Especially since last year was the peak of her illness, I kept urging her to go, and she agreed. But why did she only agree and not keep her promise? Why? And if she wasn't going, why did she lie to me that she was going? Why did she lie to me that she was fine? Why?

She assured me at the time that there was no problem, and even showed me proof, so I believed her. But now it seems that it might be an old report. I was deceived so badly!

Why didn't she tell me she was sick? I have the ability to give her the best medical care now, so why didn't she tell me? Why should I bear it all alone? Why? After traveling through time, I only want two things: one is to succeed, and the other is to save her life. I'm successful now, with more money than I can spend in a lifetime, but my money can't buy back her life!

I scrolled through her social media feed, and it was all positive news. She was already planning her wedding last year. How could everything change so quickly? I hated myself for not noticing it sooner! She was smiling so happily in the photos, but offscreen, I was crying so hard. We grew up together, friends for over 27 years, and in one night, we were separated! She was only !

I thought forcing her to get a checkup every year would reverse her fate, but it seems everyone has their own destiny, and all my efforts were in vain! She was gone in the end! I never imagined she would lie to me! I paid for her checkups every year, but she actually used them for the down payment on her wedding house. She even lied to me that she'd had a checkup and everything was normal! How could I be so stupid! I was deceived by her!

My mind kept replaying memories of her. I cried so hard that my nose was blocked and I couldn't breathe. Even though it was hard to breathe, I couldn't stop crying. I cried for a long time until I had no more tears left.

The next day, I chartered a plane and flew directly back to Gyeongju, where I immediately headed to Xiaohong's home. There was no mourning hall, no memorial tablet for her deceased family, and not even the necessary funeral arrangements.

I talked a lot with her sister. It turns out Xiaohong died unmarried and of illness, so according to custom, there's no funeral hall or burial place for her. Her ashes can't be retrieved, so the funeral home will handle them. Even all her belongings were burned yesterday, including her bed, as if to erase all traces of her existence! They weren't planning on getting her phone back, but Xiaoqin insisted on keeping it as a keepsake.

The most ironic thing is her boyfriend of eight years—no, more like her fiancé, they got engaged last year! When Xiaohong was diagnosed with cancer, he used the cold shoulder to force her to break up, and within a month, he got a new girlfriend! Such callousness and indifference makes me doubt their heartlessness! Furthermore, that man couldn't afford to buy a house, and Xiaohong used the medical checkup money I gave her to pay for the down payment! That could have been her life-saving money! It's not worth it to be so obsessed with a man like that!

As a child, I loved feasting, whether it was a wedding or funeral. But at her funeral, how could I possibly eat? Even though the meat on the table made me nauseous, I forced myself to swallow it! I wanted her to see me eat and drink, so she could leave with peace of mind! After the meal, I gave her parents a check for 10 million yuan, so they could use it to enjoy their old age.

After leaving Xiaohong's house, I drove straight to the funeral home. After asking around, I found Xiaohong's ashes and bought her a plot of land. Although she couldn't return home to rest in peace, at least she could rest in peace. I chose one of her most beautiful photos for her tombstone and, with the help of the staff, held a simple burial ceremony. Before my time travel, I was just an ordinary clerk, unable to afford a plot of land for her ashes. But now I can. I can only be thankful that I have money now, that's all! But no amount of money can change her fate. I'm tormented! I feel powerless! I sat by her grave for a long time, unwilling to leave, until my father called me.

When I got home, I told my parents I wanted a divorce. They expressed their support, saying this was my marriage, and they would always support me unconditionally. During those few days back home, I completely let go of all the worries and sorrows, simply considering myself my parents' daughter, enjoying their protection. My little boat has been adrift for far too long! After enduring so much hardship, I need to return to this warm harbor and rest!
