The dark night, like a feral beast, completely washed over the Brocade City in the pouring rain.

A shabby van braves the rain, making its way along the rugged mountain roads. Inside the van, a woman dressed in faded, washed out denim had her hair, dry and lifeless, swept by the night wind, much like seaweed being carried by the sea tide.

In her line of sight, a pebble lying in the middle of the road became the van's greatest obstacle, causing the vehicle to swerve uncontrollably, flipping multiple times in mid-air before sliding a great distance. The woman inside the van was thrown out in the process.

The heavy rain quickly washed away her disheveled appearance, scrubbing away her last shred of hope.

"Useless! What do you think you're doing? Weren't you supposed to discreetly take care of her? So why bring her back now?"

A sharp, female voice rang out. The woman lying on the hospital bed stirred, taking a while before opening her eyes.

Standing by the bed was none other than Luo Xin'er. Strictly speaking, the woman on the bed was her sister, Luo Luo.

"Oh, sister, you're awake! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have picked you up."

Luo Xin'er's eyes glinted menacingly. Luo Luo could only regret not detecting her sister's true colors sooner, yet the damage had already been done.

"Luo Xin'er, where's mom?"

Luo Luo had braved the risks to come here just to catch one last glimpse of her critically ill mother. Never did she expect that in less than two days, Luo Xin'er would discover her presence.

Luo Xin'er suddenly began to laugh, "Oh, look at me! I forgot to tell you - your mom... she passed away last night. If you could get up from this bed, I could have taken you to see her one last time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo immediately grabbed a pillow beside her and threw it at Luo Xin'er, "It was you...You killed her, didn't you?"

"Luo Luo, my dear sister, how can you still be so naive after three whole years? Did you really think I'd let them live to become obstacles for me in the future?"

"Don't worry though, the doctor just said your injuries are severe, these legs of yours are useless now!"

It wasn't until this moment that Luo Luo truly understood what despair felt like.

"I don't have time to lie to you here, are you coming or not?" Luo Xin'er said impatiently, casting a glance at Luo Luo.

"I'm going! I will."

Luo Luo tossed off the blankets and struggled to crawl from under the bed, her body landing heavily on the cold floor. She didn't have time to cry out in pain, her mind occupied with one thought - she must see her mother.

Luo Xin'er watched Luo Luo on the floor, looking as pitiful as a homeless dog, and it filled her with satisfaction. Once a proud princess, today she's as despised as a rat crossing the street.

Biting down on her teeth, Luo Luo clutched the floor. The pain in her back was agonizing and the sweat was dripping from her brow.

Looking up at the high and mighty Luo Xin'er, she had to swallow her immense hatred.

Luo Xin'er in her high heels stepped forward, directly stepping onto Luo Luo's hand, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.

"What if I regret now?"

Luo Xin'er's gaze fell on Luo Luo. She thought she would feel better seeing Luo Luo like this, but the reality proved otherwise. Only upon seeing Luo Luo did she discover that she underestimated herself.

"Luo Xin'er, with my face every day, does your life unfulfilled?"

Before being sent abroad, Luo Luo's face had been disfigured. It was only later when she saw someone on TV with her face, claiming to be the legitimate daughter of the Luo family, that she realized it was all Luo Xin'er's scheme.

A glimmer of ruthlessness passed through Luo Xin'er's eyes, of course she hated her! Living every day with a face that is not her own, and with someone else's identity, she found her life restless so she decided to cut the roots after hesitating for a few years.

"Do you not understand whether my life is meaningful or not? Under my efforts, the Luo family has become more glorious. But in the end, I should also thank your family. After all, there wouldn't be my present without you."

Anger like an absurd flame flowed through her veins, and the restrained Luo Luo could no longer suppress her hatred. She grabbed Luo Xin'er's ankle and yanked hard, causing Luo Xin'er to fall backwards in response.

"Luo Xin'er, since you care so much about my face, today, I'll destroy it myself." Having spoken, Luo Luo bit Luo Xin'er's face directly. Even without any weapon, her teeth could still be her last blade.

"Ah! You cheap thing!" In pain, Luo Xin'er kicked Luo Luo away. Luo Luo, who was already badly injured, flew back like a kite with its string cut off, hitting the edge of a chair with the back of her head. There was a booming sound in her head, followed by wailing, gradually becoming more and more distant.

That night, Luo Luo woke up with a bandage wound on her head.

After her mind cleared, she remembered Luo Xin'er's bloody face before she passed out, and immediately felt physically and mentally relieved.

Luo Luo had been smoothed down by life after five years. She was a princess who had never worried about food and clothing, but now she had to survive by pandering to others. All of this was Luo Xin'er's masterpiece. She finally could not understand why Luo Xin'er did this.

She realized today how jealousy can make a person lose their sanity. The person who was so kind to her in the past eventually became the person who hurt her most deeply.

As Luo Xin'er's face was bandaged, she rushed to Luo Luo's bedside before further treatment.

"Luo Xin'er, I forgot to tell you that I contracted a highly contagious disease when I was abroad. I advise you to go for a check-up as soon as you can."

A triumphant smile crossed Luo Luo's pale face. She knew the consequences of provoking Luo Xin'er. Before she stepped in here, she thought about this result, but it was a pity that she could not expose Luo Xin'er's crimes to the public.

"Luo Luo, your birth was a mistake! Why do I, also a child of the Luo Family, have to serve you? Why does everyone like you? Fortunately, I can correct this error now."

"What are you trying to do?”

Luo Luo had prepared for the worst when she came back. But when she thought about her mother's death, she had a desire to survive. She wanted to give back all what Luo Xin'er had done to her, so she couldn't die!

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Luo Xin'er's mouth, much like a demon from hell.

"I've spent a fortune to buy this potion especially for you. It guarantees that you will have a rich taste of life before death."

Lolo wanted to resist, but her hands were tied to the bed. There were several muscular men in the room, all shrouded in darkness. Luoxin'er was clearly aiming for her death!

Soon, Luoxin'er's potion was injected into the IV bag. In a few minutes, Lolo's body felt as if it was gnawed by thousands of ants, her head pounded like a sledgehammer strike. Yet those eyes staring at Luoxin'er, brimming with greater resentment than ever before.

Dear God, if I get another chance, I swear I will make those who owe me pay in blood!

Gradually, the person on the bed started to thrash due to the pain. After the tempest-like episode, everything quieted down. Beside the bed, the machine indicating life signs showed a flat green line. The piercing alarm went off. A life had thus passed away.
