The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Is this another ghost? The one before had bruises on its neck, it must have hanged itself. This one is as black as charcoal, it must have been burned to death. How terrifying.

Ruan Mozhu thought that since she was already in hell and had become a ghost, she might as well ask. She reached out her hand several times, but then withdrew it. Finally, she gritted her teeth, reached out her hand, and struck up a conversation with the person who came over.

"Excuse me, is this hell?" Because the person was completely black, Ruan Mozhu didn't know if it was male or female, so she could only drop the title of "Miss".

"Yes, alas, from now on you will be reincarnated again, and the cycle will repeat itself, and you will be reborn." Only the person's eyes were white; the rest of their face and body were black.

Its bright eyes held only a sigh; after all, if it were to live another life, it would have no memories at all, for this life was all gone.

Ruan Mozhu thought, "Is this really possible? I still have so many things to do, but this is the only way for now."

Forget it, let's travel together.

Ruan Mozhu and her companions arrived at a hall, surrounded by many ghostly guards.

In the hall where the court was being held, a man who looked like Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history) was presiding.

"Majestic!" Just like in ancient times when a court was being held, the ghost messenger kept shaking the stick in his hand, dragging out the sound.

An old man was forced to kneel by the Black and White Impermanence. The old man bowed his head deeply, his mouth full of repentance.

“You have always been stingy and even extorted several acres of land from your neighbor. That neighbor eventually starved to death. You have committed a sin, so you will be punished by being reincarnated as an animal in your next life, and you will eventually be eaten by humans.”

The judge said this, and the old man grew increasingly desperate.

He was dragged down like a corpse. Ruan Mozhu watched in horror. This was real hell! Sigh, after coming here, was she really not going to be able to return to the modern world? This wouldn't do. This was too cruel. Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, no, she had to leave this place.

When it was that person's turn, the woman with bruises on her throat, she knelt down with a thud, looking pitiful.

The judge looked at her, then at the book, and with a flourish of his brush, said, "Mi was stubborn by nature. Your family wanted you to marry a man of equal social standing, but you refused and hanged yourself. May you be able to grow old with your beloved in your next life." And so the woman was taken away by the ghost messengers.

When it was the turn of the person next to her, Ruan Mozhu was terrified, for it would soon be her turn.

"You were burned to death in your home by the henchmen of the current crown prince. You offended that person by accident. Well, you are pitiful. I'll grant you a peaceful life in your next life. Go." So the person was taken away again. Ruan Mozhu was very scared because it was her turn.

Ruan Mozhu knelt down for some reason. Good heavens, it turns out she didn't kneel down on her own, but was forced to kneel by magic. Her knees still hurt quite a bit.

"Hey, why isn't your name on the Book of Life and Death?" The judge was very surprised, as he had never encountered such a situation before.

He looked at Ruan Mozhu with his bright eyes, which made Ruan Mozhu's heart pound, but she still mustered up her courage and spoke.

"I am the current Princess Consort of Qi, and my life is not yet over. You cannot expect me to be reincarnated." Ruan Mozhu seized on his statement that her name was not mentioned, and thus began to act arrogantly.

"So you are Princess Qi, my apologies. The current King Qi is a hero of this world. In his previous life, he was a celestial general, but he fell in love with so-called love in the mortal realm and thus violated the heavenly rules, and was banished to the mortal world. I believe he will ascend to heaven again after a hundred years." The judge's words made Ruan Mozhu feel that this world was really strange. But Wei Jingnan was actually a celestial general, that makes sense. Such an extraordinary person must have had an extraordinary past life.

Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, but she also felt that she had a chance to be reborn. So she said, "Then what do you plan to do? Hurry up and send me back." Ruan Mozhu thought that her husband was a divine general and she was a princess. Moreover, her name was not in the Book of Life and Death. How could she not be arrogant? So she simply put on airs.

Ruan Mozhu is the first person in all this time to dare to act like a big shot here. Even the ghost guards are surprised. They actually caught her and are now sending her back, and this person is such a big shot. This is truly the first time.

Ruan Mozhu couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the expressions on the faces of the ghost messengers. They were really funny; she hadn't expected the ghost messengers of the underworld to have such expressive faces. Thinking about it, it was still quite hilarious.

Ruan Mozhu then straightened her expression and looked at the judge's face. He looked troubled, but he still understood. He suddenly slapped his forehead and hurriedly ordered the ghost messenger to send Ruan Mozhu back. Ruan Mozhu was secretly delighted.

Having a god-like husband is so great, haha.

Ruan Mozhu was initially scared when she came here, but now she finds it very interesting.

Two ghost messengers came forward, bowed, and were about to send Ruan Mozhu away. Ruan Mozhu stood tall and walked away with the ghost messengers.

It was alright, the scenery along the way, but it still didn't feel as beautiful as the outside world.

Along the way, many images would appear in mid-air, showing Ruan Mozhu and Wei Jingnan's past. Ruan Mozhu looked at herself in the images and felt so willful, realizing that she had made many mistakes in the past.

I will definitely cherish life when I get back this time.

But suddenly she saw some scenes she had never experienced before, in which Wei Jingnan was guarding Ruan Mozhu.

Ruan Mozhu was so moved that she almost burst into tears, leaving the ghost messengers speechless.

"This is what is happening now, and what will appear later is what will happen in the future," the ghost messenger reminded her. Sure enough, Ruan Mozhu looked up again.

The women in the scene danced gracefully, their eyes filled with affection for Wei Jingnan. Wei Jingnan, however, was enjoying himself, with women on his left and right. Ruan Mozhu immediately snorted coldly, thinking that men were all animals who thought with their lower bodies.

She still thought that he was fickle and that only she herself was truly reliable. Ruan Mozhu thought that all her previous appreciation for Wei Jingnan was in the past. She could only blame Wei Jingnan for being too fickle.

He only needed to use her; there was no need to invest his feelings or life in her—it was all pointless.

Ruan Mozhu felt increasingly uncomfortable. It seemed that the ghost messenger also sensed the awkwardness, so he quickened his pace, and Ruan Mozhu followed.

And so, her trip to hell came to an abrupt end. Ruan Mozhu said goodbye to the place, and then jumped off the cliff into the void.

I'm not afraid of death, so what else do I have to fear? I want everything: power, wealth, and authority.

Ruan Mozhu's ambition was fully ignited. She felt that life was only once, and if she didn't have ambition, she would only ever be an ordinary person. Having finally transmigrated, how could she have the face to come back here if she didn't accomplish something great?

Meanwhile, Wei Jingnan had been waiting until nightfall, but Ruan Mozhu still hadn't woken up, and he muttered to himself.

"Actually, I know I have a story, I must have been an extraordinary person before, but I only recognized you. You saved me, and then risked your life to save me. People always trust their first instincts. The first person I saw was you, so you are my family. You are very important to me. I was truly moved by your selfless act of saving me. If I could do it all over again, I really wish I was the one who got hurt. But alas." Wei Jingnan could only sit on the edge of the bed in repentance. He suddenly realized something and checked Ruan Mozhu's breathing, but it was gone.

He couldn't help but grip Ruan Mozhu's hand tightly and burst into tears, sobbing softly as if he had lost his beloved.

"Ruan Mozhu, wake up!" He suddenly shook Ruan Mozhu like a madman, but Ruan Mozhu showed no signs of life. Helpless, Wei Jingnan could only cry.

"You said you would wake up and tell me so many things, how come you're gone? Tell me, you were lying to me, right, Ruan Mozhu? I hate you!" He could only cry. Su'er rushed in because of Wei Jingnan's crying. She seemed to have also heard something from the prince's words.

"No way, the princess is gone, the princess is actually gone! It's all my fault!" Su'er burst into tears and knelt down on the ground, sobbing.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have informed the Prince and asked him to bring you back. I shouldn't have told the Prince, I really shouldn't have. Your Highness, please wake up, you must wake up, Your Highness!" Su'er was already sobbing uncontrollably, because the truth was too cruel. The Princess trusted her so much, but now she had lost her life because of her. How could Su'er accept this? She was the indirect culprit.

All night long, Wei Jingnan held Ruan Mozhu in his arms, murmuring to himself, which plunged everyone in the Prince's mansion into grief. The Princess was gone; what a terrible thing that was, especially with the Prince so heartbroken.

The next day, when Su'er entered the room again, she found the prince fast asleep by the bedside, while the princess was alive and well, coaxing him to sleep. She gently stroked the prince's back and hair, looking just like a loving mother. Su'er was stunned. Could it be that the princess was alive?

Su'er almost spilled the water she was washing her face, and the princess looked at her with her shimmering eyes, put her index finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet. This strange scene frightened Su'er.

So he quietly went out again, unable to stop trembling and leaving.

The princess is really alive! Su'er can't believe it. That scene just now was both beautiful and ghostly, so eerie.

Ruan Mozhu cherished this moment of tenderness. Actually, Wei Jingnan was a good person, but she always felt that something was missing. That's why the two of them had drifted along in such a daze, arguing quite a bit along the way.

In fact, Wei Jingnan treated her quite well, but she didn't want to think about anything anymore. She just wanted to live a magnificent life and didn't want to be just a little princess anymore. The status of a princess couldn't satisfy her, and her ambitions were also great.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have opened a skincare shop and a restaurant. After all, she's an ambitious person who wants to own many things. Modern people are inherently thoughtful, which is completely different from women in ancient times.

She only knows how to be a resentful woman confined to her boudoir, doesn't know how to start her own business and make money, has no thoughts of her own, and will be controlled by others for her whole life. Therefore, Ruan Mozhu will not be that kind of person.

She wanted to be someone others looked up to her for life. Wei Jingnan was just a pawn in her climb to the top. In the scene, Wei Jingnan was surrounded by women, which made Ruan Mozhu feel truly loveless. Men were unreliable; only she could give herself everything.

Wei Jingnan had a wonderful dream. He dreamt that Ruan Mozhu was not dead, but perfectly fine, and that they were living happily together in the palace.
