The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Wen Li wanted to become like Jiang Yanhong had said—kind, strong, and upright. But she didn't. She lied, stole, robbed, and even got into fights. Yet, she was the one who was inexplicably deceived, robbed, robbed, and beaten first…

She felt that Jiang Yanhong was wrong. People should protect themselves first before talking about anything else; people should live for themselves first.

Wen Li has always protected herself very well, but she is still unhappy.

Wen Li, Jiang Yanhong's daughter, the only bloodline of the Jiang family... This in itself is something that the world despises.

Therefore, they will be insulted, disliked, and teased...

But she firmly believed that she, Wen Li, had done nothing wrong. The ones who were wrong were those people; they were the ones who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, who turned black into white, and who were incredibly foolish!

She is innocent!

So she wanted to live with dignity and tell everyone openly that she was Wen Li, the only surviving member of the Jiang family.

From the age of eight to ten, she was almost always alone. No, she was accompanied by her second master.

However, the Second Master suffered a lot of grievances after following her. She was not popular, and no one liked her dog either.

Later, when she went to the Wen family, Wen Zhi'en didn't like her either, and didn't even want to acknowledge her. It was only because she kept making a fuss that he was forced to acknowledge her.

Later, after being banished to the Xuanling Sect, she finally made a friend, and gradually few people dared to provoke her.

But she was still...still...still unhappy...

Wen Li felt she had to thoroughly investigate the Jiang family's case, not only for Jiang Yanhong's sake, but also for her own. She wanted to one day let the world know that they were wrong, that they had all misunderstood her...

Otherwise, what do all the grievances, pain, resentment, and loneliness she and Jiang Yanhong have suffered over the years amount to?

The Jiang family, the Jiang family, the Jiang family... She had never seen the Jiang family in her entire life, yet she was always shrouded in their shadow.

But now she stands here, looking at everything she has suffered, at the pain she endured because of the Jiang family, at her tireless efforts for the Jiang family…

I just felt she was a huge joke, wasn't that ridiculous? The truth I longed for had plunged her into an even deeper abyss.

Perhaps they're right; she really does deserve some of it...

She deserves to be bullied and deserves that no one wants to be near her.

But she didn't do anything... She's just Wen Li... not some demon lord...

"She's asleep, why is she crying?"

Feeling someone gently wiping away her tears, Wen Li slowly opened her eyes. Her clear black and white eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Shen Yingsi, who was wiping away her tears by the bedside.

"woke up."

Wen Li slowly got up, and Shen Yingsi helped her.

"You've slept for a whole day and night. Here, have some hot water."

Shen Yingsi held the hot water to Wen Li's lips, and she took a small sip to suppress the dryness in her throat.

Shen Yingsi stood up and said, "The porridge is warming on the stove. I'll go get it for you."

Wen Li reached out and grabbed him. Shen Yingsi turned around, sat down, looked into her eyes, and asked carefully, "What's wrong, A-Li?"

Wen Li's face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and her pretty nose was also red, making her look like an injured kitten.

She stared at him through teary eyes, her eyes welling up with tears again, "Shen Xianzhi..."

She swallowed hard, then looked up, tears streaming down her face: "It was me, it was me who killed the Jiang family..."

"The secret hidden by the Jiang family is me, and the truth behind the Jiang family's massacre is also me..."

"Should I die now? But all I want is to live a happier life... Ah Si, I..."

Doesn't she know why she has to be reborn, to live a more miserable and painful life?

"I'm in so much pain right now... Shen Xianzhi... I'm in so much pain..."

Tears streamed down her face as she cried, avoiding Shen Yingsi's gaze. Then she lowered her head and unconsciously bit the back of her hand and fingers, biting so hard that blood seeped from her hand.

Shen Yingsi couldn't see her face clearly, so he grabbed her hand, knelt down from the chair, and leaned down to look at her expression.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Ali... please, don't cry..."

He wiped away her tears again and again.

“Wen Li, this is not your fault. This world is disgusting. It’s rotten to the core. This is its fault.”

"But you should live well. You haven't done anything wrong. You don't want to die, right? Remember what you said? The more they want you to die, the more you should live well. The person you should save most is yourself."

"The truth may not be as Xie Wanzhou said; there must be some hidden story behind this."

Wen Li finally looked up at him and said, "But I can't forget my mother. No matter what, it seems to be my fault. Their deaths must be related to me."

Shen Yingsi gently advised, "Ali, only those who are ruthless can survive, even if they are extremely despicable, even if they resort to any means necessary... We must all survive. There must be something in this world that you can't let go of..."

Wen Li looked at the person in front of her. He was dressed in plain clothes and there were no accessories on his body. The person who was originally high and mighty was now kneeling on the ground, with a hint of pleading on his cold and aloof face.

She wanted to live because she couldn't bear to part with him; she might not meet someone as good as him again in the next life or the life after that.

Wen Li held back her tears, stroked his face with her hand, and wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of his eyes.

"Shen Yingsi, I am ruthless enough, so I will not die, because I want to live with you."

Perhaps she was never meant to be a good person; she couldn't even save herself, yet she wanted to save others.

That's it. Anyway, she's always been like this. She knew all along that she was a ruthless and bad person.

Shen Yingsi patted her head and asked softly, "Are you not crying anymore?"

Wen Li hummed softly, then rushed over and hugged him tightly. "Shen Yingsi, thank you."

Shen Yingsi finally felt relieved. He pulled the person into his arms and was about to say a few words when a sound came from outside the door.

"Oh my, you two young couple aren't even married yet, and you can't wait any longer."

A woman's voice came from behind them, and the two quickly separated. Wen Li lowered her head, trying to cover her red and swollen eyes.

The old woman pulled a man in. The old woman was very outgoing, while the man seemed a little embarrassed.

The woman asked loudly, "Oh, what's wrong? Girl, are you crying?"

Wen Li hid behind Shen Yingsi, not wanting to look up at him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"She really cried!"

"Oh dear, why are you two still crying? Being alive is the greatest happiness. Ah, this is my husband, just call him Uncle Xu."

"Old Xu, these are Xiao Shen and Xiao Jiang."

"Hello, Uncle Xu."

Wen Li lowered her head and wiped away her tears. Shen Yingsi patted her back, and Wen Li called out in response.

Uncle Xu was a short, chubby middle-aged man who looked very kind.

"Hello, hello. You'll be staying here from now on. Call us if you need anything."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Aunt Xu away.

Why are you pulling me?

"Are you blind? Can't you see that the young couple has something to say to each other?"

"Okay, okay, don't pull me."

Watching their retreating figures, Wen Li felt like crying again. Did she really deserve to live? Could she ever find happiness?
