This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyun suddenly moved away from him, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. You didn't need to tell me this."

"...I'm sorry." Nangong Mingzhu said immediately.

He stood up quickly, wearing a black middle coat, and staggered a little due to weakness.

Yue Liuyun subconsciously wanted to help, but quickly realized that he was in the form of a soul.

Nangong Mingzhu has looked a lot thinner these days, but her handsome features have become even more distinct, with her black hair loose, making her look like a sickly beauty swaying in the wind like a willow.

He walked up to her, his voice slightly hoarse, speaking from above Yue Liuyun's head, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I can explain, but I... definitely don't distrust you."

Yue Liuyun seemed to have not expected him to apologize so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "...Explain."

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, as her emotional management was usually quite stable.

Why are you so angry now? What a moody person you are...

Inappropriate, hugely inappropriate.

Yue Liuyun raised her head. She and Nangong Mingzhu were very close, but he was too tall. Only from this angle could she see his Adam's apple and jawline. She couldn't feel his breathing, but she could see his strong chest rising and falling slightly.

She took a step back and met his picturesque eyebrows. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, with a hint of laziness and fatigue. His face was as pale as paper, and faintly revealed...death.

That’s right, it’s dead air.

Yue Liuyun felt a surge of guilt in his heart. His eyes moved slightly. He took a deep breath and added, "Lie back down... Explain again. Don't catch a cold again."

“…Okay.” Nangong Mingzhu said in a low voice.

Little did he know that after he turned around, a triumphant smile on the corner of his lips disappeared in an instant, his pale lips were slightly pursed, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

It's not that he is completely heartless.

Still know how to be soft-hearted.

Nangong Mingzhu lay back down.

Yue Liuyun walked to the head of his bed and stared at him with a complicated expression.

He smiled slightly and asked, "When did you find out?"

Yue Liuyun pondered for a moment, then said, "I once had a dream. I dreamed that you were imprisoned, your life in danger, and you didn't know what would happen next."

"...But that's something that will happen in the future. My previous dreams about you are all in the past, and what you dreamed about is also my past."

"Whether it's fate or the shared memories caused by the two of us sharing one body... those are all tangible memories. How can human memories have a future?"

She lowered her head and stared at him, then continued seriously, "...So, at that time, I wondered if you were... someone who had been reborn."

He acted too indifferent to everything. No matter what happened, he always looked nonchalant, as if he had expected it. Most of the time, he just followed Yue Liuyun's thoughts and watched her make choices with interest.

Nangong Mingzhu asked, "You guessed it then, why didn't you question me?"

Yue Liuyun said speechlessly, "Because this is a good thing. You have the experience of being reborn once, so won't you take fewer detours?"

"But...why didn't you say a word?"

Nangong Mingzhu said softly, "Because you are very capable, everything you did was right. Besides... my past life was full of failures. There is no need to tell you, as it will only restrict you."

Yue Liuyun caught the key words and asked:

"Why do you call it a 'failed experience'? In your previous life, you used your death to pacify the entire Daying. Nangong Qianshang ascended the throne, and Song Zhiyi led his men to wipe out the Chiyu tribe. What was there to fail about?"

At this point, Nangong Mingzhu's face darkened and he said, "Because... things in my previous life were far from that simple."

He suddenly sat up, reached out to pick up the purple-black fox fur and put it on himself. He looked at Yue Liuyun solemnly and said, "Do you know... why the system and destiny must save me?"

Yue Liuyun's heart moved and he asked, "Why?"

This is the problem she hasn't figured out yet.

"The previous system once calculated that the world's luck would gradually dry up. Do you remember what Jing Tan said about how the previous system died?"

"...Heaven has sent down punishment." Yue Liuyun's eyebrows twitched, realizing that things might not be that simple. He said, "Isn't it...?"

Nangong Mingzhu said: "Not entirely."

"To be precise, he died on purpose. After his death, he threw everything he had into the world, pouring all the luck and fortune of the world into these two people."

Yue Liuyun said: "It's you... and Nangong Qianshang?"

"Yes."

Yue Liuyun asked: "Then how do you know all this?"

Nangong Mingzhu only said one word: "Dream."

Yue Liuyun frowned and thought.

"There's more to the dream than just this... After my death, Daying's prosperity didn't last long. Instead, it gradually fell apart, and everything returned to square one."

Nangong Mingzhu continued, "When I woke up from my dream, I found myself back to when I was twenty years old. At that time, I had just ascended the throne."

Yue Liuyun said, "In other words, the fate of this world has not been changed, so it will start over again."

So if we do it again, whose masterpiece will it be?

The most important thing is, what happened in the previous life that led to all this?

Nangong Mingzhu seemed to have read her mind and said, "So, I believe there is a hidden force quietly pushing for the destruction of this world."

Omg.

Is it ever going to end?

Yue Liuyun had a blank expression on his face, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

Why are there so many problems in this world? One problem after another.

She sighed and said, "So the book 'Records of the Great Ying Dynasty' actually records the previous life?"

Nangong Mingzhu added: "Orange peel."

Yue Liuyun: "...You already knew it."

"Because I once tested you, and you firmly believed that the person I liked was Luo Tong. From then on, I knew that the book you read was not very reliable. It was just like an outline, and... only half of it." Nangong Mingzhu said.

That’s right, even the final downfall was not written, and it came to an abrupt end after Nangong Mingzhu’s death.

Yue Liuyun: "Okay, okay."

You hid it so well.

Nangong Mingzhu seemed to want to tell everything, and continued, "Afterwards, Ling Chaomian came to me and told me the destiny he had glimpsed. It wasn't just what I said to you at the beginning, but there were more details..."

"...He said that someone might take over my body and replace my identity."

Yue Liuyun held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "So you, Old Six, stabbed yourself with a sword?"

"...Only when my soul is weak is the best time for you to take over my body." Nangong Mingzhu said calmly.

Yue Liuyun squeezed out a word from between his teeth:

"...You are really a lunatic."
