Chapter 1 The Bride?
At the summit of Qinglan Mountain stands a dilapidated Taoist temple, which appears even more eerie under the gloomy rain of June.
Inside the temple, a man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit bent down to light the eternal lamp under the statue.
“Ancestor, the hundred-year period has come, and a new vessel has been chosen for you.”
As Luo Hong's voice faded, the rain outside the window intensified, a gust of cold wind swept in, and the flame of the ever-burning lamp began to flicker rapidly.
Immediately afterward, a dark shadow swept past him, crashed open the temple gate, and vanished in an instant.
Luo Hong kept his head down the whole time, and after the surroundings became quiet, he respectfully bowed towards the direction of the temple gate.
……
VIP ward at Nancheng First Hospital.
A dignified middle-aged woman stood before the hospital bed, turning the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist, her voice icy.
"Husband, our Yun family is destined to have no choice but to accept this marriage with the Su family. If you let Xinru marry into that family, I'll kill myself!"
Stepmother Qiao Lan raised her eyelids and her gaze fell on the woman on the hospital bed, her scheming nature evident in her eyes.
Yun Yao lay quietly on the hospital bed, her pale face like a withered flower.
If it weren't for the beeping of the instruments beside her, she would have looked exactly like a long-dormant mummy.
Just then, her biological father, Yun Jianghai, rang out with a strong voice.
"Look at you! Talking nonsense again!" Yun Jianghai hugged Qiao Lan tightly. "Xinru is our precious darling, how could I let her marry that idiot from the Su family?"
"The doctor said Yun Yao will be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life and will never wake up. Marrying her off to Su Yuchen will make all the money we've spent keeping her alive worthwhile!"
A glint of triumph flashed in Qiao Lan's slightly lowered eyes, but when she looked up again, her expression had changed to one of gentleness.
"Honey, Dad has always been concerned about Yunyao. Won't what you're doing offend him?"
Yun Jianghai put his arm around Qiao Lan's waist and gently stroked her as they walked out.
"Don't worry, I'll send Dad abroad for a while. When he comes back, he'll have no choice but to accept it!"
"You're so thoughtful, honey!"
The sound gradually faded into the distance. As the ward door closed, the woman on the hospital bed suddenly opened her eyes.
The integration of soul and body takes time. While adapting to this "new body," Yun Yao has begun to fully absorb the original owner's memories.
She lost her mother at birth, and everyone thought she was a jinx, so they stayed away from her and bullied her.
Besides her grandfather, Yun Zhengfeng, who was willing to personally take care of her.
When she was a little over one year old, her father, Yun Jianghai, brought home Qiao Fang, who was heavily pregnant.
After their child, Yun Xinru, was born, she, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, became the laughing stock in their social circle.
Because her grandfather was often away from home, she suffered all kinds of bullying because she had no one to support her!
But she was also very determined; she gritted her teeth and persevered, and even became the best student in the wealthy circle.
But as she became more and more outstanding, she became a thorn in the side of Qiao Fang and her mother.
On her fifteenth birthday, Qiao Fang instigated Yun Xinru to push her off the rooftop, leaving her in a vegetative state!
If it weren't for her grandfather's insistence on sparing her life, she would probably be a wandering ghost long ago!
But, living is worse than being dead.
During the years she was asleep, the only thing she didn't lose was her hearing.
Those wicked people said all sorts of vile things at her bedside; she even heard the cause of her mother's death with her own ears.
Her mother was strangled to death by Qiao Fang and Yun Jianghai!
At this point, the memory abruptly ended, and the original owner's overwhelming hatred filled her chest.
On the bed, Yun Yao stiffly raised her hand, which was so thin it was just joints, and tremblingly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
His face was full of ruthlessness and displeasure.
"Tsk, what a pitiful person."
"Now that I've used your body, I won't let you continue to be so pathetic."
"Yun Yao, is it? You just wait."
"I will avenge you!"
"Moreover, I will make sure your name resounds throughout the Southern City!"
As she spoke, Yun Yao forced herself to sit up, her frail body straining. She glanced down at the tubes covering her body, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"The business acumen of the Luo family is getting worse and worse. How did they end up choosing such a weak and useless body?"
Just as I was about to pull out the tube, I heard footsteps at the door.
Two nurses entered, chatting and laughing.
"The Yun family is really kind-hearted. Even though Yun Yao is in this state, they still want to help her with her marriage!"
Another nurse glanced at Yun Yao on the bed and snorted coldly.
"Kind-hearted? I don't think so! Who doesn't know that Su Yuchen is a fool?"
"The Yun family can't afford to offend the Su family, and they're also reluctant to marry their precious daughter off to them, so they have no choice but to make this half-dead, vegetative person their bride!"
"But a person in a vegetative state paired with a mentally challenged person is truly a perfect match!"
"Alright, the Su family's car will be here soon, hurry up and get her dressed!"
Yun Yao kept her eyes tightly closed, letting them roughly dress her.
However, why is the style of this clothing so strange?
……
A silver minivan drove through the streets of Kyoto, heading straight for Su Yuchen's villa, Shengshi Garden.
Inside the living room, a large red "double happiness" character was crookedly pasted on the wall, and the curtains were drawn everywhere. Only the red candles emitted a faint light, making it look gloomy.
Just before getting off the bus, Yun Yao's head was covered with a cloth.
She opened her eyes instantly.
Through this "red cloth," Yun Yao watched as she was pushed into the house. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she quietly let others do as they pleased.
Just listen.
"The bride is ready, go and fetch the young master!"
what did they say?
bride?
Considering the furnishings in the room, what else could Yun Yao not understand?
joke!
She's an ancestor who's lived for ten thousand years, what kind of men hasn't she seen? Why would she marry a fool?
Outrageous!
Her expression hardened, and she decided to stop pretending!
Just as they were about to lift the veil and capture the entire wedding scene!
Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her wrist, followed by a refreshing fragrance.
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment.
and many more!
These hands... are long, slender, fair, and have distinct joints!
What beautiful hands!
They say hands are a person's second face. If your hands are this beautiful, you must be a wonderful person!
She looked up at the man beside her.
Exquisite features, cool and aloof eyes, and a faint killing intent emanating from him.
Look at that face!
It suits her taste perfectly!
Tens of thousands of years! This is the first time she has ever met a man who could make her lose her composure for even a moment!
Hmm... it's not like this marriage is impossible!
"Hehehe! Wife! This is the wife my grandfather found for me! I have a wife now!"
Before Yun Yao's smile could fade, that silly voice pierced her ears like a demonic sound.
How could she forget!
Su Yuchen is an idiot!
Yun Yao's smile froze, and her eyes turned cold in an instant.
That was close! Her lifelong reputation was almost ruined!
Yun Yao hadn't had a chance to pull her hand back.
"Uncle Butler Liu! My new bride and I are about to have our wedding ceremony! Please take a video of it!"
Yun Yao scoffed inwardly.
The limit of what you humans can do is simply raise a hand of mine.
Are you trying to force me into marriage?
None of the doors!
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Her head was pressed down from behind.
hey hey?
Why couldn't she move at that crucial moment?
Watch me use magic!
"Bow to Heaven and Earth twice!"
What's going on?! I can't even cast spells anymore!
Yun Yao felt a sudden panic.
No, no!
Is she, a dignified matriarch, really going to marry a fool?
While Yun Yao cursed the Su family's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart, Su Yuchen's actions did not stop at all.
"Couple greetings!"
"Time to escort them to the bridal chamber!"
