It's too late! It's all too late!

Something began to slowly bloom before Mu Xin Nuan's eyes, like a white peony, growing larger, thinner, and paler!

Through the thin layer of white mist, it seemed that I could see my mother curled up in pain, my younger brother was pushed into the lotus pond, and my maternal grandfather and uncle were all decapitated, with blood everywhere!

Does she hate? How could she not hate? But Mu Xin Nuan was struggling to breathe; she could even feel her pupils dilating! What could a dying person do?

A self-deprecating, bitter smile crept onto her lips. Mother, brother, grandfather, uncle, I'm so sorry! I mistook a fish eye for a pearl, and ended up harming you all! If there is an afterlife, I will never be so blind as to fall for this wolf in sheep's clothing again!

The things before Mu Xin Nuan's eyes gradually faded, and her consciousness finally began to dissipate! When Jin Hui and Mu Xin Yao approached, Mu Xin Nuan's eyes were still wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open in disbelief!

Mu Xinyao seemed to be startled, "Oh dear!"

Feeling the delicate woman in his arms trembling, Jin Hui looked at the corpse on the ground with even more disgust. "Hmph! Disliked before death, and now you're trying to cause trouble for me even after death?"

"Men, throw the body into the river to feed the fish!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Unseen by anyone, a transparent Mu Xin Nuan stood beside her own corpse. She watched helplessly as her body was thrown into the river, bobbing up and down with the current. At that moment, she could no longer feel pain! It wasn't that she had lost her heart, but rather that when a person's pain reaches its extreme, they become either numb or filled with extreme hatred!

Watching Jin Hui and Mu Xinyao so lovey-dovey, Mu Xinnuan finally understood what shamelessness and heartlessness truly meant!

Mu Xin Nuan's wandering soul had actually lingered in the mortal realm. Her face no longer showed any pain or anger! She could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before her eyes, unable to do anything! Because she was a ghost, a wandering soul!

She watched Jin Hui rise to power over the next ten years, from Marquis of Dingyuan to Duke of Dingyuan; she watched Mu Xinyao rise from Marquis's wife to a first-rank duke; and she watched their son grow up day by day!

He watched helplessly as Mu Xinyao's younger brother, Mu Qingyuan, inherited the Mu family business, enjoying a meteoric rise in his official career! All of this should have belonged to his own brother! And now? In the end, it was nothing but a deception, a joke! And what about his kind and honest father? He died at the hands of his own son; his father must have felt hatred too!

Not only that, but it wasn't until after her death that she learned that her inability to conceive for five years after her marriage was actually caused by that vile woman, Song!

She actually gave me a potion to prevent me from having children when I was only fifteen! This vicious woman deserves to die! I had treated my mother as my own mother after her death, only to find out that everything I had was planned by that mother and daughter!

If it weren't for this, why would she always feel indebted to Jin Hui? And why would she feel inferior to Mu Xinyao when she was alive?

Mu Xin Nuan could no longer feel pain! Knowing that she had been tricked by the Song family to this extent, she could only give a bitter smile. It was all her own fault for being blind; who else could she blame? She treated her mother's killer as her own mother! She regarded the vicious woman who stole her husband as her own sister!

She's stupid! She's foolish! She deserves it!

But how innocent was my maternal grandparents' family! They actually became stepping stones for King Ming and Jin Hui!

Mu Xin Nuan felt nothing but hatred! Ten years had passed!

Ten whole years! It's bad enough that I'm dead! It's bad enough that I don't have a complete corpse! But to be unable to enter the underworld, forced to watch helplessly as my enemies live such a happy and carefree life in this world! What could be more agonizing than this?

If someone were to appear before her now and agree to help her take revenge, she would rather her soul be scattered, just to avenge the murder of her mother and the extermination of her clan!

But how could that be? She's a ghost! No one could possibly hear what she says! So why would anyone come to her aid?

She drifted alone to her mother's grave once more, only to find it dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Even if she wanted to tidy it up, she was powerless to do so.

She reached out her hand again and again, passing it through her mother's tombstone. Mu Xin Nuan wanted to cry, but she was a ghost, she had no tears! This pain had tormented her for ten years!

She witnessed the corpses of her maternal grandfather and others, saw her father murdered by Mu Qingyuan and Song Shi, and saw her former friends and relatives die one by one at the hands of those vile women! Yet, there was nothing she could do!

What could be more painful for her than this? What could make her feel more guilty than watching the corpses of her loved ones exposed in the wilderness? What could be more helpless than watching her father drink the poisoned wine while she was powerless to stop him?

As she watched one loved one after another die before her eyes, witnessing their tragic fate with her own eyes, yet feeling utterly helpless, Mu Xin Nuan felt nothing but hatred in her heart.

Mu Xinyao, Jin Hui, you two heartless bastards! If there is a next life, I will make sure you suffer a terrible death! If I cannot personally end your bright future and destroy your beautiful dreams, then I am not Mu Xinnuan!

Mu Xin Nuan stared intently at her mother's tombstone, where her mother's surname was barely visible.

Mu Xinyao, Mu Qingyuan, Song Shi! You wait! In this life, I couldn't kill you with my own hands, and I didn't even become a vengeful ghost to haunt you! Then you wait! I will never forget the hatred of this life for all eternity! Even when I reach the Bridge of Helplessness in the future, I will never drink the Meng Po soup! The pain I feel today will be made you taste a hundredfold!

"Mother, you always taught me to be kind to others, but I have been kind all my life. Even when I helped that treacherous wolf scheme against his brother, I never used any truly vicious methods! Why must I suffer this misfortune? My grandmother was kind all her life, but what did she gain in return? Mother, I understand now. Being kind to kind people is good, it's a good thing! But being kind to evil people is tantamount to aiding and abetting evil, a trap you've created yourself! Mother, I swear, if there is an afterlife, I will be an evil woman, and I will never again have a kind heart! Even if I go to the eighteenth level of hell after death, I will be more wicked than those villains!"

Mu Xin Nuan had long since run out of tears, but her eyes still felt sore. Suddenly, she felt her mother's tombstone sway slightly, and then she lost consciousness. Before she fainted, she wondered if she was finally going to the underworld. Had some demons and monsters finally come to take her on her way?
