"As you wish, we're divorced!"

The deep, cold voice, devoid of any warmth, echoed in the silent and luxurious presidential suite.

Ming Yao was a disheveled mess, her clothes in disarray as she sprawled on the carpet. Her long, dense eyelashes slowly lifted as she looked up at the man before her.

The man must have just come from an important event. He was wearing a sharply tailored, handmade suit, crisply ironed trousers stretching over his long legs, and a dark coat draped over his shoulders, giving him an overall appearance of being cold, deep, and wildly arrogant.

Above that, was a handsome and sexy face with a masculine ruggedness.

He looked down, his eyes cold and disgusted as they settled on her.

Ming Yao's forehead had struck the corner of the bed, and her head ached terribly.

She furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with confusion.

Looking down at herself, she took a glance.

She was wearing a robe loosely tied, revealing glimpses of her snow-white skin.

Truthfully, her mind was a bit muddled right now.

She remembered that she seemed to have died, only, why was she here?

Who was this handsome yet cold man before her?

Suddenly, memories that were not hers flooded into her mind.

Indeed, she had died, and was reborn into the body of a woman who shared her name and age.

Two years ago, the Ming Family company faced a financial crisis, and the original Ming Yao was married off to Gu Siting, the least favored Fourth Young Master of the Gu Family.

Ming Yao was vain and pretentious, domineering and arrogant. After seeing how little the Fourth Master Gu was valued by his family, she despised him, continually creating scandals, and even made him a cuckold.

Three months ago, she found out that Gu Siting had become the Gu Family's new Person in Charge through his ruthless and dominant ways.

Under the encouragement of her younger sister Ming Wan and her lover Xiao Yixuan, she wanted to divorce Gu Siting in order to gain a sizable property settlement.

At first, Gu Siting didn't bother with her, so she resorted to crying, making scenes, and even threatening to hang herself, attempting suicide by wrist-cutting to force him.

This time was even more outrageous, conspiring with her lover Xiao Yixuan to lure Gu Siting to a hotel, where they secretly drugged the room, planning to take advantage of Gu Siting's compromised state by sending a woman to his bed.

Once caught in the act of cheating, not only would he have to agree to the divorce, but he would also have to divide his wealth with her!

She and her lover Xiao Yixuan were observing from the next room, but Xiao Yixuan, for some reason, suddenly wanted to sleep with her.

Although she didn't like Gu Siting, and had developed feelings for Xiao Yixuan during her marriage, she still had her principles and was unwilling to sleep with anyone before the divorce.

As she struggled with Xiao Yixuan, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open.

Gu Siting came over with a dark and ominous expression.

Xiao Yixuan didn't understand why the plan had failed. Terrified, he didn't even dress properly before jumping out the window to escape.

During her attempt to flee, Ming Yao carelessly tripped over her foot, fell, and hit her forehead on the corner of the bed.

The next time she was conscious, she had become the current Ming Yao.

The fresh blood from her forehead trailed down her cheek, and Ming Yao tasted the metallic flavor.

But more chilling than the taste of blood was the man before her.

His narrow, black eyes had taken on a hue of crimson, his body emanating an icy chill, as if he wanted to flay her a thousand times over.

"In two years, not only have you been embroiled in endless scandals, but you've also incessantly taunted death in front of me! Ming Yao, do you really think that just because the old lady is protecting you, I would not dare to end your life?"

The man bent down, his large hand closing around Ming Yao's delicate neck like a vice.

Ming Yao suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

Damn it, what exactly is the situation now?

The heavens allowed her to live again, only to be reborn into such a doomed woman's body?

Having just come back to life, was she meant to die once more?
