Live fortune telling: Sending a top star to prison right from the start.

After a busy day, Wei Lai dragged his tired body out of the fire station.

He raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, and inadvertently touched the slightly delicate note in his shirt pocket.

He took it out and, by the dim light of the street lamp, saw again the elegant yet powerful characters.

[11 PM, East end of the beach, on the reef]

He glanced at his watch; there was only half an hour left. As if guided by some unseen force, Wei Lai decided to go and check it out, even though his bones felt like they were about to fall apart.

The beach was deathly silent at night. The waves lapped rhythmically against the sand, making a dull sound, as if they were humming an endless lament.

Wei Lai spotted a slender figure sitting on a prominent rock by the sea from afar.

The sea breeze whipped through her hair, and her body leaned slightly forward, as if the slightest movement would send her plunging into the unfathomable, icy depths of the sea.

A professional reflex kicked in, and Wei Lai's heart tightened, causing him to quicken his pace.

As he drew closer, in the dim light, he instantly recognized the girl—

It was the person he had saved last night.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have disregarded life and death, slowly leaning forward, preparing to jump.

"Stop! Don't be impulsive!"

Wei Lai shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing across the empty seaside.

Yu Fei's movements came to an abrupt halt. She slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion and determination, tears welling up in her eyes, her face etched with helplessness.

"It's me, Wei Lai, the firefighter who saved you last night."

Wei Lai tried his best to make his voice sound gentle as he spoke, slowly moving closer to her, afraid that his actions might upset her.

A look of realization flashed across Yu Fei's eyes, and then tears welled up in her eyes, her body beginning to tremble violently.

“What’s the point of my life… I was a mistake from birth.” Yu Fei choked up, her voice broken by the sea breeze.

Under Wei Lai's gentle comfort and guidance, Yu Fei slowly began to speak, recounting his life that felt like falling into an abyss.

She and her sister Yu Jing are twins.

When they were young, their parents took the two sisters to a temple fair, where they met a fortune teller. The fortune teller glanced at them and solemnly told their parents that she was destined for misfortune and would bring disaster to the family in the future.

Her parents were already superstitious, and these words were like a bombshell, instantly shattering her childhood.

From then on, whenever anything went wrong at home, whether it was burnt food or household items being damaged for no apparent reason, her parents would blame her, calling her a "jinx" who brought bad luck into the family.

She is not allowed to sit at the table during meals.

When there was something delicious, her parents always gave it to Yu Jing first, while she could only watch longingly and occasionally get a little bit.

That winter, the family's financial situation improved slightly, and Yu Jing's parents bought her a brand new pink down jacket with a novel design. When Yu Jing wore it, she looked like a little princess.

She could only wear the cotton-padded clothes that Yu Jing had worn out.

She timidly told her mother that she wanted it.

What he received in return was a slap from his mother and a cold rebuke.

They said she wasn't good enough.

She didn't understand why her parents treated her this way based on just one person's comment.

They clearly loved her before.

After starting school, Yu Jing became the focus of attention due to her lively personality and sweet appearance.

Taking advantage of her parents' doting love, she mocked her in front of her classmates, saying that she was a child who brought bad luck, causing her to suffer isolation and exclusion at school.

During a school-organized painting competition, she, who had a strong interest in painting since childhood, secretly practiced without her family's knowledge and her painting skills were quite good.

She submitted her work with great joy, hoping that her parents would like her again if they recognized it.

When Yu Jing found out, she not only tore up her painting in front of the whole class, but also mocked her, saying that the jinx's paintings were only embarrassing.

Her parents favored Yu Jing, but she didn't dare tell them. She could only hide in the bathroom and silently shed tears, swallowing the bitter pill alone.

During holidays and festivals, when relatives come to visit, the parents always pull Yu Jing aside and show off her excellence to everyone, while ignoring her.

When relatives occasionally asked about her, her parents would only give a few perfunctory answers, their tone full of disdain.

A distant relative, feeling sorry for her, brought her a box of chocolates. When Yu Jing saw it, she snatched it away, threw the chocolates on the ground, and stomped on them until they were smashed.

The parents stood by indifferently, making no attempt to stop them.

As we get older.

This unfair treatment has become increasingly severe.

Yu Jing wanted to learn to dance, and her parents didn't hesitate to take out their savings to buy her expensive dance costumes and hire professional teachers.

She mentioned that she joined the school's dance interest class, but her parents scolded her severely, saying that she was thinking about unrealistic things.

At that moment, her last remaining hope for her parents was shattered, and she finally faced reality.

Now, Yu Jing wants to study abroad, but her family's money is far from enough.

To save face and ensure Yu Jing's success abroad, her parents arranged for her to marry a man nearing fifty, old enough to be her father.

The man was a nouveau riche who, after his ex-wife passed away, had always wanted to find a young and beautiful woman to remarry.

Her parents accepted his generous dowry, saying that they were old and caring for her because it was for her own good, disregarding her wishes and determined to send her into that hellhole.

Yu Fei cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, and her thin body swayed precariously in the wind.

“Yu Jing has always looked down on me. She thinks I'm a disgrace to her, and she always looks at me like I'm trash. My parents are the same; they only care about Yu Jing and don't care what happens to me. I don't want to marry that man; I don't want my life to be ruined like this…”

As Wei Lai listened to Yu Fei's tearful account, his anger burned fiercely. He couldn't imagine how much pain and torment a girl could endure in such a family environment.

“You are not a jinx. Your life should not be decided by those absurd superstitions and selfish family members. You have your own value, you deserve to be loved, and you deserve a good life.”

Wei Lai's voice was firm and powerful, steadily reaching Yu Fei's ears on the sea breeze.

Yu Fei looked at Lin Huai in despair, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"But what can I do? I can't escape; they won't let me go."

She also tried to escape the suffocating home she lived in.

But the result was failure.

When filling out her college application, she chose the city furthest from home, but they changed her application behind her back.
