Chapter One: Beginnings
The Taihu Lake shimmered with silvery light within waves of fog in the dead winter. With the freezing temperature, crystals shined in the fog that felt like rain as the wind blew.
When Ling Qingyu fell from the boat into the lake, the freezing water woke her as if from drunkenness. She tried to stretch her body but found herself already frozen. Her limbs were uncontrollable and began to cramp.
Her life flashed before her eyes as she suffocated and sank.
The last thirty years flew by quickly before finally settling on her father's memorial dinner. A beautiful girl laughed quietly in her husband's arms while he had a surprised but relaxed expression.
She had just completed her divorce papers and obtained freedom. How could her life end this way?
Sinking in silence, Ling Qingyu's heart suddenly felt unwilling to let go.
"Yu-er~, Yu-er~."
"Mom! What happened to my mom!"
Ling Qingyu struggled, but her rigid body only sank faster.
"No! Mother!"
A call from afar sounded as if it were next to her.
With a flash, her body broke away from the icy lake. Ling Qingyu suddenly found herself in a white s.p.a.ce. Sure enough, she had died. Was this heaven? Or was this h.e.l.l?
Mother...
Ling Qingyu blindly staggered toward that soft call and found a young girl crying on the floor.
"Is it you?" The young girl raised her head. A pair of teary, swollen eyes flashed fiercely on her plump face.
"It's me," answered Ling Qingyu subconsciously. She immediately felt annoyed. What kind of conversation was this? But, why does this little girl's face look so familiar? Her figure, her pie-like face, her firm b.u.t.t and full chest. From the reel of memories that played when she sank; one resurfaced: a middle schooler fighting at a street stand.
This is me?!
But why is she wearing a traditional dress and why does she look so fragile?
"I was hurt by a traitor and died in Taihu Lake." The girl spoke as she stood up. "My father and brother were both murdered and I am powerless to take revenge. I beg of you as the same person as you to please take care of my mother and obtain my revenge."
She threw her body forward the moment she finished speaking.
Ling Qingyu collided with her and fell, but the floor suddenly disappeared. With a "bang," Ling Qingyu felt as if she fell into a container. Then her ears started ringing with noise...
