At the dock of Little Bay Village.

Qiao Sheng had one hand in the waistband of his pants and the other was tugging at the hemp rope that was about two fingers wide.

The autumn sea breeze made his face feel taut.

The village chief's beloved granddaughter, Lin Ying, stood beside him.

"Brother Qiao Sheng, pull my cousin up. You always make her catch fish for you. If she's unwilling to marry into the Qiao family, you'll be screwed."

Although Lin Ying said that, she had no intention of helping.

Qiao Sheng spat on the ground.

"Unwilling to marry me? Other than me, Qiao Sheng, who else in our village would want an extremely ugly fool like Lin Luo?"

"I'm a good person, so I pity her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. A dark face popped out, and a red spot went from her temple to her eye.

If her red-spotted birthmark was the most eye-catching feature on Lin Luo's face, then her innocent eyes were the second most eye-catching.

Lin Luo tugged at the hemp rope loop around her neck. This thing made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was empty-handed, Qiao Sheng grabbed an empty oyster shell and threw it at Lin Luo's face.

"I've been standing here in the cold wind for 15 minutes, but you didn't find anything?"

"The sea is so big! It's full of fish, shrimp and seashells! How dare you come up without finding anything?!"

Lin Luo shivered in the water.

It was unknown if it was because she was too cold or too frightened by Qiao Sheng.

Lin Ying advised, "Brother Qiao Sheng, why are you arguing with a fool? She didn't get anything this time. Punish her and teach her a lesson, so she won't dare to do this again."

"You're so smart."

"But… what kind of punishment can make this fool learn her lesson?"

Qiao Sheng was troubled.

"Brother Qiao Sheng, look, there's a stone over there." Lin Ying pointed at a stone two times larger than Qiao Sheng's head.

Seeing this, Qiao Sheng tied the hemp rope in his hand to the stone and aimed the stone at Lin Luo. He smiled evilly as he said, "Ugly girl, reflect on yourself in the water today!"

Lin Luo's pupils dilated. She was a fool, but she knew fear.

She turned around and dived into the water, but she was still hit by the falling rock.

A few traces of red appeared in the blue seawater.

The unconscious person in the sea was pulled down by the stone.

Lin Ying, who was on the shore, smiled gently. "She probably knows her mistake now and went into the water to fish for you. She might be a little silly, but her swimming skills are famous in our village. She will definitely be able to bring something back for you. She might even be able to bring pearls."

"She better. Otherwise, I won't marry her!" Qiao Sheng scratched his fat waist. "In our dynasty, women who are past 18 and are still unmarried will be sent to be military prostitutes. She'll be 18 soon after the new year, so if she dissatisfies me, I'll force her to become a prostitute!"

Lin Ying glared at Qiao Sheng. "That's my cousin!"

"Ah Ying, you're the most beautiful and talented girl in Little Bay Village. How can an ugly woman like her be your cousin?"

Qiao Sheng was mesmerized by Lin Ying's charming gaze.

"You're so annoying." Lin Ying pretended to be shy and said, "My uncle and aunt left something good for my cousin in the town's pawn shop. Unfortunately, only my cousin can retrieve it with an official contract with her husband after she gets married. Since I told you this secret, when you get benefits in the future, you can't forget me."

"I'm with that ugly freak for your sake, so of course I won't forget your share."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked away.

...

After an unknown period of time, the girl regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes.

What was going on?

She remembered that there had been an explosion on the ship returning to the country. The ship had been destroyed and the goods had been blown up! Her soul was wandering in the endless sea, so why would she suddenly appear in the sea?

Lin Luo held her breath as she tried to swim up, but her throat was grabbed by the hemp rope and she couldn't swim up!

Hemp rope…

Memories exploded in her mind like fireworks. In the end, Qiao Sheng and Lin Ying's gloating expressions surfaced to mind.

After untying the knot around her neck, Lin Luo climbed up the coast and sat on the shore while panting.

Amidst the salty sea breeze, she smelled blood. After she raised her hand to wipe the blood from the back of her head, she stared at the girl's face through the reflection on the dark blue sea's surface.

Her skin was dark and there was a large wave-shaped red spot on the right side of her face.

On Island R, Lin Luo was known for her beauty. Not only was she fair-skinned and beautiful, but she also had a charming figure. In her previous life, she had never even seen a single pimple on her face. With such a sudden change in appearance, Lin Luo wanted to jump into the sea again to see if she could die.

However, when she thought of Qiao Sheng and Lin Ying, she changed her mind.

Even if she wanted to die, she had to kill that adulterous couple first.

Lin Luo dragged her tired body towards her home according to her memories.

This was a dynasty that didn't exist in ancient times. It was called the Great Law Dynasty.

The original host had the same name as her, but she had been dim-witted since birth. Her face even had a strange red wave-shaped birthmark.

The original host's father was the youngest son of the current village chief of Little Bay Village, but the original host's family branch was kicked out of the Lin family.

Although she didn't have the love of her grandparents, with the protection of her parents, the original host lived a happy life for the first 14 years.

Things changed three years ago. In order to raise money to cure the original host's mental retardation, her parents went out to sea to fish for golden pearls, but they encountered a storm, and the ship was destroyed.

Ever since then, the rumor that the original host had jinxed her parents spread throughout the village.

The Lin family was even more unwilling to have anything to do with the original host. They would only send some rotten fish and prawns to the original host every few days to ensure that she wouldn't die.

Lin Luo's house was located in the southwest corner of Little Bay Village. It was the most remote place. Other than her family, there was only one family living there.

The two desolate courtyards looked even more shabby and dilapidated in the afterglow of the setting sun. After Lin Luo pushed open the courtyard door, she heard faint footsteps coming from inside.

The original host didn't have any friends. The Lin family had only sent a few rotten fish yesterday, so it was impossible for them to come again today.

A thief had entered?!

Lin Luo was a military doctor. Although she was a civil servant, she had received professional training in martial arts.

She picked up the broom on the ground and hid behind the door. When the thief came out, she slammed the broom down heavily. Then, she pounced on the thief and pressed down on his arms. Her gaze was sharp as she said, "You're too brazen!"

Before the man could react, Lin Luo punched the acupuncture point on his waist twice.

The man hissed in pain. His voice was deep and magnetic, like a cello urn. His sexy voice made Lin Luo think of some inappropriate scenes.

"Lin Luo, are you crazy?!"

After the man turned around, Lin Luo was stunned when she saw that face.
