In the following days, Cheng Shuyan stayed at home every day, imitating her mother and embroidering the wedding dress stitch by stitch.

In fact, it was her mother who embroidered for her. She didn't like needlework since she was a child, so her mother didn't force her to learn it.

Now that she was about to get married, according to custom, the bride had to embroider her own wedding dress, so A'niang restrained her and asked her daughter to do a stitch or two.

Although Cheng Shuyan looked aggrieved because she was detained at home, she was actually very happy in her heart.

Now she can have dinner with her father, mother and brother every day and see them every day.

Moreover, in a month, she will marry her sweetheart.

Thinking of Xie Jingxiu's appearance, remembering how he called her Ah Yan tenderly and affectionately, remembering his solemn promise to her:

"Ayan, I will never let you down in this life."

Whenever he thought of this, Cheng Shuyan felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

A month passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when Xie Jingxiu came to the Cheng family to marry.

Xie Jingxiu's parents were both deceased and he had no other relatives, so after consulting with his father and others, they decided to get married in the Cheng family.

My father was a chivalrous man when he was young. Later, he lived in seclusion here with his family and didn't have many close friends to interact with on a daily basis.

On the day of Cheng Shuyan's wedding, there were no guests, only the wedding procession brought by Xie Jingxiu.

The team consisted of about twenty people, all dressed in red. They played wedding music and carried the betrothal gifts that Xie Jingxiu had given her to the door of the Cheng family. It was really lively.

Amidst the matchmaker's auspicious words, the two bowed to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to each other, and got married.

From today on, he is no longer her lover, he is her husband.

Under the red veil, Cheng Shuyan smiled with happiness and anticipation.

She sat quietly on the wedding bed, waiting for her husband.

Behind her was a bed full of auspicious things such as longan, red dates, etc. Everything around her made her feel extremely happy.

The sounds in the front yard gradually died down, and she heard someone walking towards the new house.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open and Xie Jingxiu called her name gently.

"My dear, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

He walked up to Cheng Shuyan and gently lifted her veil.

Cheng Shuyan blushed immediately, but still responded in a low voice.

"Husband..."

The night is getting darker.

The red candle tent is warm and the room is full of fragrance.

After getting married, the two still lived in the Cheng family, and Cheng Shuyan's life seemed to have not changed at all.

She still stayed in bed every day, but now there was another person, Xie Jingxiu, who woke her up.

It was not until a year later that she gave birth to her child with Xie Jingxiu.

That day, my father, mother and brother were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

What followed was the family's pressure on my brother to get married.

Her brother is two years older than her! Now she has a child, but her brother is still single and unmarried. Naturally, his parents are worried.

Every time this happened, my brother would find all kinds of lame excuses to slip away.

In the blink of an eye, her child had grown up, and Xie Jingxiu named their child Zhier.

After the child learned to speak, her favorite thing was to pester her and ask:

"Mother, you will always be with Zhier, right?"

"Mom, we must be together forever, okay?"

"Mother, let's stay here forever. You are not allowed to leave Zhier!"

She always imitated the way her mother used to coax her and told her child:

"Of course, mother will always be with us children."

As the days passed, they all grew old, and the brother also grew old, but he still did not get married.

She is old, but her son has not yet married.

She likes to lie on the lounge chair in the Cheng family's yard and bask in the sun. It feels particularly warm.

Her father and mother still urged her brother to find a sister-in-law for her every day.

The child still asked her every day: "Mother, we will be together forever, right?"

Xie Jingxiu also moved a chair beside her and lay down with her:

"Child, don't disturb your mother's rest!"

She smiled calmly and peacefully, but tears flowed unconsciously.

Yes, after all these years, they have really always been together.

But now I have to say goodbye.

"Father, Mother, Brother, although I really don't want to leave you, it's time for me to go."

"All this is just a dream. I may spend my whole life with you in the dream. I am content."

"Xiao Ayan, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Ayan, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare last night? If there's anything wrong, you must tell Mom!"

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare us, okay? Where are you going?"

As she watched her relatives' increasingly frightened faces, her eyes became clearer and clearer.

She had summoned the Skybreaker Hammer at some point and was holding it tightly in her hand.

"Xie Jingxiu, I will never forget the crime you committed. Sooner or later, I will seek justice for my family!"

She swung the Heaven-Breaking Hammer and smashed it at Xie Jingxiu with all her strength. Xie Jingxiu was instantly smashed into pieces by her, and the scene in front of her also gradually shattered.

With a slight sound, her relatives and courtyard disappeared in an instant.

She wiped the tears from her face, adjusted her mood, and then observed her situation.

In front of me was the deserted trap site. There was no little boy here, only a corpse.

The owner of the corpse had been dead for many years, and even his clothes had rotted away.

From the size of the bones, it is not difficult to tell that it should be the body of a child, probably the child she saw with her spiritual consciousness before.

"Zhi'er? Is that your name? Stop making trouble and come out!"

"How did you wake up? This shouldn't happen. You're supposed to wake up after living your entire life in this illusion!"

The shadow of the little boy gradually emerged from the darkness in front of her.

His face was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why Cheng Shuyan suddenly woke up.

"You underestimate my hatred for that man."

She looked at the little boy and taunted him.

"You stole my memory and carefully arranged this beautiful dream for me, and I was truly immersed in it.

After all, I really miss them so much.

However, the scene of their death has been deeply engraved in my soul. I will never forget the scene where Xie Jingxiu stabbed the knife into my father's chest.

Your illusion is perfect, but unfortunately, it's too perfect. If you had followed the original ending and had me kill Xie Jingxiu, I might not have woken up.

"Then...how about I make a new one for you?"

After hearing her words, the little boy actually started to think seriously and asked her tentatively.

"Stop it! What's your purpose in doing this?"

The little boy is a spirit of the undead, and is now considered a ghost cultivator. Cheng Shuyan doesn't know why he learned this illusion, but his strength is actually not that strong.

Now that she has seen through his illusion, it will not be so easy to trick her again.
