My heart felt like it had been torn apart. This was one phenomenon that I hadn't experienced in my previous reincarnations. Was it that...was it that in this lifetime, I was suffering from a heart disease? A sick lady struggling to catch the young master, finally dying from heart pain. That sort of plot flashed through my mind.

I opened my eyes and saw a beautifully carved rosewood bed. It seemed that I had reincarnated into a rich family. Next, I noticed the bed mantle, where a phoenix embroidered with golden thread was proudly on display. Ah...There was a high possibility that I had been reincarnated into the royal family this time.

The pain in my chest kept getting stronger. Eventually, I couldn't help myself and touched the spot, hoping to calm the ache. Who could expect what I found? Taken aback, I gasped and looked down.

There was a sharp dagger lodged in my chest! What alarmed me more was the state of my chest. Why was it so flat? Why was this hand so large? It was even covered in calluses. Where did my nice white hand go? Even if it wasn't a nice white hand, where did the little hand of a child go? This was obviously the hand of a rough man!

I struggled to get up. The sharp pain in my chest made itself known again. I was bleeding heavily; my head felt dizzy. Did I have to die just after being reincarnated?

"...In the next lifetime, you must live in the human world for twenty years. Otherwise, you'll be handed over to me for punishment when you come back to the Netherworld."

Yanwang's words rang in my ears. When I thought about the punishments he had outlined on that piece of paper, it felt like something else had been plunged deeper into my heart than the dagger had. I was trembling in pain.

No...although I wasn't quite sure what the situation was, I knew I couldn't die like this! I had only been in this world for a few moments. If I went back to the Netherworld so soon...the rest of my life would be ruined. Definitely ruined!

I took hold of the dagger by its hilt and tried to pull it out, struggling endlessly with it to no avail. Suddenly, I heard another voice. Turning to look, I saw a round-faced woman wearing an elegant set of clothes. Her face was really pale. With a "wa" sound, she spit out a mouthful of black blood. It seemed like she had been poisoned.

This...this, what sort of situation was this now? A rich woman and a rough man lying together. The rough man had a dagger stuck in his chest, the woman was poisoned. Fuck! In what sort of mess had I been caught up in?

"Fuck! What is this situation?!"

The woman in elegant clothes looked at me and I was shocked. When she finished talking, she clutched her chest and vomited.

An ominous feeling crossed my heart again. I asked, breathless: "Jung...Jungkook ?"

When the sound escaped my mouth, I heard a deep voice. I secretly wiped my bitter tears.

When the lady raised her head, she looked at me in horror.

"Xiao Lisa Zi?"

Her lips trembled: "Damn, damn, damn you...always haunting me."

"Haunt, huhu, the one who is haunting me is you! Hear me clearly, you're not allowed to get close to me!"

After saying those words, I was out of breath. I swore I saw Yanwang waving at me.

"Who...who still wants to get close to you? Xiaoye, xiaoye will save this life first. Go back to the Netherworld yourself. Go, go and kiss that little round face of Yanwang."

I shivered. That was a very, very good reason to use all the courage and power I could muster: I had to keep living.

I tightened my hand, gritted my teeth, and pulled with all my strength. One part of the dagger came out, but there was still a part left lodged in my chest. More blood flowed out.
