Chapter 3: I’ve come for you
Brother Lin Xuan just stared blankly at her.
His wife betrayed him, and his father, mother, and sister saw the report of his death but didn’t care at all.
The people he cared about, not one of them truly cared for him.
On the contrary, Su Hua, the woman he had always hated, actually took revenge for him with her own hands!
Su Hua stumbled back into the room.
She opened the ice coffin and gently caressed Lin Xuan’s face with tenderness.
“Ah Xuan, I’ve come for you.”
Su Hua muttered, a resolute smile appearing on her face as she pulled out a knife and aimed it at her delicate wrist.
“Su Hua, no!” Lin Xuan screamed hoarsely.
Lin Xuan tried to grab her wrist to stop her from committing suicide.
But! His hand passed right through hers.
As a spirit, he couldn’t touch her!
Su Hua had already plunged the knife into her wrist. The sharp blade cut through her tender skin, piercing her artery, and the gushing blood made the nearby blooming red spider lilies even more vibrant.
Su Hua also lay down in the ice coffin, resting her head on Lin Xuan’s chest, shedding off all her coldness, and smiled gently. “Ah Xuan, I’ll keep haunting you whether in this world or the netherworld.”
“It’s really good to die together with you.”
Her slender, pale fingers intertwined with Lin Xuan’s swollen ones.
As the blood drained out, Su Hua’s lips curved into a beautiful smile, and she closed her eyes completely.
Lin Xuan clutched his chest.
It hurt so much, really, it felt like a sharp blade was stabbing his heart and twisting it around.
Su Hua, he had lost her.
If only he could have another chance… Lin Xuan laughed bitterly; it was his foolish wishful thinking. There would be no chance to start over. A person like him, how could he deserve such an opportunity?
Lin Xuan’s spirit continued to drift around the world.
He attended Su Hua’s funeral and saw how his parents and several sisters cried their hearts out for Li’s death.
What a stark contrast.
When he died, this family happily celebrated Li’s birthday. When Li died, they were filled with pain and despair.
Lin Xuan stayed by Su Hua’s tombstone, not knowing how much time had passed, when suddenly he was sucked into a vast space. All around was a white expanse, and a hollow, chaotic voice echoed.
[Brother Lin Xuan, congratulations on being chosen by the Heavenly Dao as the Son of Destiny. You can be reborn. As the Son of Destiny, I will grant you the ability to remember everything, extraordinary learning abilities, and some knowledge of other worlds.]
[Additionally, you have a special space. You can enter this space with your thoughts. For every hour spent inside, only one minute passes outside. This space is full of countless things for you to learn.]
Lin Xuan: ???
Son of Destiny?
Rebirth?
A space where time flows extremely slowly?
Holy cow, there’s actually such a good thing?
But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Lin Xuan asked, “Why did you choose me? What are the conditions?”
[Because Su Hua is the destined female lead, and she committed suicide for you. We don’t want to see such situations again, so the condition is that you must be with her.]
Lin Xuan said, “I agree!”
Absolutely agree!
To refuse would make him a fool!
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he felt a flash of white light in his mind, and the headache was unbearable. He clutched his head and squatted down.
It hurts, too much!
It seemed like countless things were drilling into his brain.
In just a minute, the excruciating pain disappeared completely.
He felt like his brain had expanded.
The voice from the void spoke again: [You may go now.]
Lin Xuan’s vision went dark as he was sent back to his original world.
The timeline rewound.
Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the decoration of the room, Lin Xuan was somewhat dazed. This was the Lin family, his room…
He was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, seeing himself dressed in a deep blue suit with a red wedding flower pinned to his chest.
This is…
Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered violently. He rushed out of the bathroom, picked up the phone on the table to check.
He had actually traveled back to the day of his wedding!
In the Xia country, men can marry at twenty-one, and women at twenty.
Now he was twenty-one, he really came back!
In the previous life, on this day, Su Hua came to disrupt the wedding. She hooked her finger under his chin and said chilling words, “Ah Xuan, you’re really disobedient. Without my permission, you actually went and married another woman, huh?”
“Since you’re so disobedient, then go back to the cage I made for you. Ah Xuan, you have no freedom anymore.”
Her voice was like a demon, echoing in his ears, chaining his soul with shackles from which he couldn’t escape.
He knew if he got caught, he wouldn’t have another chance to be with Qin Ruoyao in this life. He would lose his freedom and spend the rest of his life with Su Hua, the woman he hated.
He didn’t want that!
At that moment, he grabbed a knife and pressed it against his throat. The blade cut his skin, and the wound oozed crimson blood.
He threatened Su Hua with his life: “Su Hua, I’m not your plaything. I never agreed to be with you. Why do you force me? If you ruin my wedding today, all you’ll get is a corpse!”
“Su Hua, can’t you let me go? Give me freedom and let me be with the woman I love!”
His eyes were determined. If Su Hua forced him, he would immediately slit his own artery with the knife.
Su Hua’s eyes at that time were filled with pain, despair, and tension.
He also seemed to see helplessness in her, like a little beast licking its wounds after losing its support.
That day, Su Hua stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, she smirked mockingly, “Fine, I’ll give you what you want. I’ll let go and let you marry Qin Ruoyao…”
Su Hua left, taking her bodyguards with her, and he successfully married Qin Ruoyao.
Since then, Su Hua never appeared in front of him again. The only news he heard about Su Hua was from online.
Lin Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
This day was the turning point of everything. He had to change his fate. What he needed to do was, when Su Hua came to disrupt the wedding, he had to obediently follow her away.
Lin Xuan checked the time, getting ready to go to the wedding venue.
Lin Xuan came out of his room, and the Lin family sat on the sofa with stern faces. The atmosphere in the living room was heavily oppressive.
“Are you set on marrying Qin Ruoyao?” His biological mother, Jiang Shuqin, asked with a dark gaze.
Lin Xuan calmly replied, “Yes.”
“Good, good, good, Brother Lin Xuan, you’re really something.” Jiang Shuqin gritted her teeth, “How could our Lin family produce someone as shameless as you! As the eldest son of the Lin family, you’re going to marry into another family. You’re really something!”
That’s right, Lin Xuan was marrying into the Qin family.
Lin Xuan felt inferior in front of Qin Ruoyao, treating her like a goddess, obeying her every command.
When Qin Ruoyao asked him to marry into her family, Lin Xuan readily agreed without hesitation. Apart from wanting to please Qin Ruoyao, it was also because he felt suffocated in the Lin family and wanted to escape.
Who would have thought that going to the Qin family was just jumping from one fire pit into another.
In the Qin family, he wasn’t considered a son-in-law. To be precise, he was treated like a servant. The Qin family fired their servants to save money, and all the laundry, cooking, and cleaning work fell on him alone.
