"Dad has really become senile, always indulging this wretched girl. She's about to disgrace our entire Zhong Family!"

"Keep it down. If Dad hears you, he'll definitely get angry."

As the two of them spoke, the girl lying in the bed, with lashes long like the wings of a fan, had already begun to tremble slightly. Soon after, her eyes opened.

Her black and shiny eyes were like the most transparent black gemstones, bright and clear, yet carrying an intimidating chill. In front of such a pair of eyes, nothing in the world could hide.

At the center of those black eyes, there seemed to be a golden light, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Zhong Niangyao frowned, feeling irritable.

She had been sleeping soundly when she was rudely awakened, and it truly annoyed her.

She then realized what had happened and blurted out, "Wasn't I already dead?"

Indeed! She clearly remembered that she should have already sacrificed herself to the heavens.

"Oh, finally awake, huh!" Li Yiqiu immediately said with a tone of sarcasm, "Disappointed that you didn't see your Brother Jingming, are you?"

"Enough, don't say too much." The man beside her, who was Zhong Mingyu, reached out to pull Li Yiqiu back, "Hurry and call the doctor to check on her!"

After Li Yiqiu left, Zhong Mingyu, looking at Zhong Niangyao lying on the bed with a pale face, couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Suddenly, Zhong Niangyao felt a headache as a cluster of memories that didn't belong to her started flooding into her mind.

A group of doctors and nurses in white coats filed in and the lead doctor began to examine Zhong Niangyao.

After the examination, the doctors and nurses left the ward, leaving only Zhong Mingyu and his wife with Zhong Niangyao, still in the bed.

Looking at the silent Zhong Niangyao, Zhong Mingyu's eyes were filled with suspicion and wariness, "I warn you, if you really do something shameful, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Yiqiu's face also looked bad, her words brimming with scorn, "You really are a curse."

Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu took turns berating Zhong Niangyao.

But when they looked into Zhong Niangyao's deep, unfathomable dark eyes, they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts, even shivering involuntarily.

"Just be sure to behave yourself from now on!"

After leaving those words behind, Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu left the room.

The room was very quiet.

Lying in bed, Zhong Niangyao couldn't help but curl her lips into a meaningful smile.

Could this be the blessing the heavens had given her? Because she had saved the lives of countless people, she was granted this chance to be reborn.

Her current identity was that of the youngest granddaughter of the wealthy Zhong Family of Imperial Capital. The two who had just scoffed at her in the infirmary were her Second Uncle Zhong Mingyu and Second Aunt Li Yiqiu.

The Zhong Family was a wealthy, noble family of Imperial Capital, historically engaged in commerce, particularly the jewelry business. The current head of the Zhong Family was Old Sir Zhong Huirong.

Zhong Huirong had three sons, the eldest son Zhong Minghao, the second son Zhong Mingyu, and the youngest son Zhong Mingxin.

Zhong Niangyao was the only daughter of Zhong Mingxin, who disappeared suddenly when she was around three years old, and to this day, there had been no news of him.
