Chapter One: Cast Aside Personal Virtue and Revel in a Life of Revenge!
Wilderness outside River State.
In a deep pit being buried, Xu Ye coughed up blood, his eyes filled with grief and despair as he stared at the woman at the edge.
“Why? Xu Ruowei, I gave you everything, even my heart—why would you do this to me?”
Xu Ruowei, the woman he had loved for nearly a decade.
When they first met, she was nothing more than an overlooked, impoverished girl.
It was Xu Ye who changed her family’s fate, granting them a life of wealth they had never dared to dream of.
He was the one who transformed Xu Ruowei from the daughter of a housemaid into the darling heiress everyone admired at university, and now, one of the top ten outstanding women in Jiuzhou, the executive president of the Xu Group.
And yet now—she wanted to bury him alive!
“Because you deserve it,” Xu Ruowei replied coldly, without the slightest trace of guilt. “Who told you to dream above your station? A toad lusting after a swan.”
She let out a chilling laugh. “Did you know? Every single moment of these ten years with you disgusted me.”
“You used money to shackle my fate, destroyed my love, wasted my youth. Of course I want you to lose everything.”
“Oh, and by the way, those two sons? Not yours. They’re mine and Pei An’s.”
“Well? Surprised? Are you thrilled?”
“You… you…”
Xu Ye spat out another mouthful of blood.
Pei An… their mutual friend, the man Xu Ruowei called her “cousin.”
Back in their third year at university, Pei An had asked Xu Ye for support to study abroad. Xu Ye hadn’t hesitated—he’d given him ten million!
To think…
These two despicable people—these damned traitors!
“I really was blind…”
“What’s wrong?” Xu Ruowei sneered. “Regretting you didn’t listen to your mother’s advice?”
Her smile grew sharper, more mocking. “Since you look so pitiful, I’ll tell you one last secret. Your parents’ car accident—was my doing as well.”
Boom!
Her words struck Xu Ye’s mind like thunder, shattering him.
Two years ago, his parents had died in a car crash. He had always believed it was a tragic accident.
Who would have thought—even that was her handiwork?
Xu Ye spat blood again. “You venomous woman! May you die a miserable death! Even as a ghost, I will not let you rest!”
Xu Ruowei scoffed, “Is that so? I wasn’t afraid of you when you were alive—why would I fear you dead?”
“All right, gag him and bury him alive!”
“Xu Ruowei, you… Xu…” His voice was cut off, muffled.
As shovelfuls of earth fell, despair and regret overwhelmed Xu Ye’s heart.
He hated himself for ever loving such a shameless and vicious woman.
Hate! The word burned in his heart—I truly hate you!
He howled in silence, for his limbs had long since been severed.
The earth soon covered him completely, robbing him of air.
He began to suffocate. His consciousness blurred.
In the end… was this how he would die?
“Xu Ye? Xu Ye, can you hear me?”
“I’ve come to save you! Don’t die, please… please don’t die!”
As his soul began to dissipate, he thought he heard someone calling.
A beautiful figure was digging frantically at the grave, her voice choked with tears.
“I finally found you—how can you just die?”
“You’re not allowed to die, Xu Ye! Do you hear me?!”
He tried to guide his soul downwards, to see her face, but he couldn’t.
But that voice—it sounded like Su Zijin?
She was a junior from his university days, someone he’d hardly noticed before. How had she found him?
And…
He really had been blind; there had been such a good girl by his side all along, yet he had never realized.
If only fate could grant him a chance to start over…
But reality—is there really such a thing as if?
…
River State University, at the main entrance.
Xu Ye suddenly crouched down, drenched in cold sweat.
“I… I’m alive?”
He looked up and saw he was standing at the main gate of River State University.
Around him hung banners welcoming new students, but one in particular caught his eye.
“Hand in hand, forging glory together—2019 enrollment, let dreams set sail once more!”
2019?!
So he wasn’t alive again—he’d been reborn!
Back to over six years ago, just before the start of his sophomore year!
“Xu Ye, I promised to buy milk tea for all the new student guides and student council members. Go make the arrangements.”
He was still in a daze.
Suddenly, a stunning young woman, her features exquisite and her figure flawless, appeared before him, looking down imperiously.
“Remember, two hundred and sixteen cups. Nine at room temperature, the rest with ice—make sure they’re all the most expensive.”
Xu Ruowei!!
At the sight of this arrogant woman, Xu Ye’s fists clenched.
It was this very woman who had just ordered his live burial!
How could she have done it?
Had she forgotten she was just the housemaid’s daughter? He had never looked down on her—instead, he had treated her with all his heart, almost to the point of giving her his soul.
But even fate had found it intolerable and granted him a second chance at life. This time…
Xu Ruowei, prepare for my revenge!
“I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?!”
Xu Ruowei’s impatience flared at his lack of response.
She acted as though she were truly the young lady of the Xu family, treating him as nothing more than a servant.
In truth, the Xu Ye of the past would have agreed without hesitation, running off to fulfill her orders.
But that Xu Ye was dead.
Xu Ye let out a cold laugh.
Xu Ruowei stared at him in confusion. “What are you laughing at?”
“Forget it, I don’t care what nonsense you’re on about. Hurry up!”
Xu Ye looked at her, his gaze icy. “Am I your father? You order me around and I’m supposed to obey?”
Xu Ruowei was stunned—he had never spoken to her like this before.
“What… what did you say?”
His eyes grew colder. “I said, your mother is dead. Get lost.”
“You damned wretch. Even a dog would wag its tail if I tossed it a bone, but you? You cunning little schemer—who do you think you are to command me?”
“You’re spoiled rotten! You ask me to treat you and expect me to pay for it? How about I give you a slap instead—is that what you want?”
He didn’t hold back, cursing her outright.
He truly hated this woman. She was just the housemaid’s daughter, yet in his previous life, he’d treated her so well. Every bit of his allowance went to her, and to save her from inferiority, he’d humbled himself, raising her to her current status.
Daughter of the Xu family, president of the student council at River State University—while he himself became her lackey, her sycophant, her servant!
And what did he get in return? He brought a wolf into his home and ended up with his family destroyed.
Did she really think he was still that ignorant fool from his past life?
Dream on. This time, he would have his revenge—and none of those responsible would escape.
