"G, die!"

Amidst the ringing of gunfire, two nimble figures successfully bypassed the manor's guards and reached the entrance to the basement.

"boom"

"boom"

Two more gunshots rang out, and the two armed bodyguards at the entrance fell to the ground before they could even see who it was.

Just as the figure in front entered the basement, a sinister yet suppressedly excited voice came from behind, accompanied by a gunshot.

Then came the muffled sound of a bullet piercing flesh.

"call out",

The person who launched a sneak attack from behind also failed to achieve their goal unscathed. Even though the attacker had the other person's back to them and managed to strike a vital spot, the other person's willpower was too strong. Despite being injured, the attacker managed to twist their body and strike the attacker's arm.

"Fire Phoenix, why?"

G, barely managing to stay upright, forcefully entered the basement entrance, while Fire Phoenix quickly hid around the right corner.

There was a ten-meter-long corridor between the two.

"G, don't blame me, it's just that you're too strong and blocked my way."

The Lone Wolf organization is a top-tier organization internationally. They accept any kind of mission on the dark web. Founded five years ago, the Lone Wolf organization has a zero failure rate on any mission they undertake.

The 'Lone Wolf' organization is further divided into five divisions, each managing different departments. Currently, the position of division leader in the second division is vacant, and G is the most likely candidate to take it.

But how could the equally outstanding Fire Phoenix accept this? She didn't think she was inferior to G; in fact, she felt she was more suitable for the position of leader. She was also jealous of 'Lone Wolf's' favoritism towards G, which fueled her resentment and ultimately led to this betrayal.

Fire Phoenix knew that G's abilities were not to be underestimated. Even though her opponent had already been shot, she dared not relax for a moment. Only by completely eliminating G could she act without any scruples.

Therefore, Fire Phoenix gave G no chance to resist. The moment she finished speaking, she pressed the time bomb she had prepared for G and quickly retreated to avoid harming herself.

A deafening roar followed. Today's mission was pre-arranged for G; she couldn't escape now, even though she immediately swallowed the heart-protecting and hemostatic pills she had made after being shot.

But in those short ten seconds, she was engulfed in the basement by the explosion and was reduced to dust.

In her final moments, a phrase flashed through her mind: "Even horses stumble, and so do people."

She could sense some of Huo Feng's thoughts, but as a former comrade-in-arms, Huo Feng had never made any excessive moves. She never expected that Huo Feng would harbor thoughts of eliminating her, and even secretly prepare a powerful plan for her. Huo Feng's intentions were truly well-hidden.

She hadn't even noticed this trap set specifically for her; her carelessness was utterly disgraceful, and such a humiliating death was incredibly pathetic.

Despite her martial arts skills, she was ultimately betrayed by her own companion and met a tragic end, leaving no trace of her body.

...........

"Qi Jiao"

A high-pitched, shrill voice rang out, followed by the cheerful beating of gongs and drums. With a combined effort from the four sedan bearers, Xijiao was lifted off the ground, and the grand wedding procession proceeded down Zhengyangmen Street.

And it was amidst this commotion that the person who had been dragged into the bridal sedan chair suddenly opened their eyes, only to be met with a sea of ​​red.

What's going on? Have I ended up in the King of Hell's palace?

"S~"

Just as Gu Nanzhi was about to lament that she had arrived in the underworld, she felt a dull pain in the back of her head. This pain alerted her to something was wrong.

Wasn't she betrayed and killed by her comrade in the basement, or blown to pieces by a bomb?

Why can I still feel pain?

Why is it shaking so much? And where is that banging of gongs and drums coming from?

Gu Nanzhi wanted to check her surroundings, but a red cloth blocked her view. She had no choice but to reach out and tear the cloth off, but as soon as she did, she felt her hands go limp.

She frowned slightly, wondering when her body had become so weak. Gathering her strength, she raised her right hand and tore off the red cloth. With a glance, the entire scene in this small world came into view.

Curtain? Red dress? Veil? Bridal sedan chair?

And these hands...

No, this isn't her hand. What's going on? Where am I? She's clearly dead, so how can her consciousness be inside someone else's body?

"S~"

Headache~

This was too bizarre for Gu Nanzhi to process properly. The only thing she was certain of was that she was alive again, but in someone else's body.

The most urgent task is to figure out what's going on. Why is the original owner of this body, no, now it should be me, wearing a wedding dress and sitting in a sedan chair? How did she get married so soon?

Gu Nanzhi tried hard to recall the original owner's memories, but only felt a headache and came up empty-handed.

This is awkward. Although she is grateful to God for giving her a second chance at life, she wonders where she has ended up doing this?

I'm completely bewildered. Is this a hellish start?

Although Gu Nanzhi hadn't read the novel, she had heard people around her talk about it and knew about things like rebirth and time travel.

But at least those other people could access the original owner's memories and have a solution, right? But here I am, I have nothing.

Is this a test for myself?

Alright, let it be a test. After all, she wasn't some weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken. In her previous life, she was quite a figure, a poison doctor, a hacker, a boxer, a Sanda fighter, and so on. She was a beautiful woman with many identities and top-notch skills.

If she hadn't been careless, how could she have ended up in this strange world...?

So what if she has no memory of or understanding of this world? It's no big deal. We'll learn little by little. I don't believe a grown woman like her can't make something of herself.

After considering the situation for a moment, Gu Nanzhi began gathering information. Seeing that there was still a window, she lifted the curtain slightly to check the outside.

The first thing you see are people dressed in ancient clothing, and an elderly woman is walking alongside the sedan chair.

The crowd of onlookers gathered on both sides to watch the spectacle.

Gu Nanzhi was about to take a closer look when the older woman walking next to Jiaozi noticed her. She quickly raised her hand, speaking in a low voice, to stop Gu Nanzhi.

"Oh dear, my young lady, you're awake! Don't move around too much, sit up straight and put the veil back on. Who lifts their own veil? It's considered bad luck..."

Gu Nanzhi was still unclear about the relationships between these people, and it wasn't appropriate for her to show too much. So she withdrew her gaze and pricked up her ears, trying to glean some useful information from the noise.

More and more people lined the streets to watch the spectacle, and murmurs of discussion began to rise and fall among them.

Passerby A: "Whose wedding is this? Such a big commotion!"
