After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Shangguan Mingzhu has been acting like a jerk all day long since the marriage was arranged. It is normal for her to get angry and get drunk.

Shangguan Chuan tried to control her several times, but she refused to change her ways, so she just felt annoyed and decided to just ignore him, since she was going to get married soon anyway.

Sheng Qingtang was still the gentle, considerate and versatile cousin who quickly integrated into the backyard.

That night, she carried a green lantern and walked alone through the winding and secluded road to the hidden Izumo Pavilion.

There lived a pair of sisters, a hidden presence in the mansion.

"You came…"

Under the moonlight, under the burnt-out maple tree, stood a thin woman, her clothes like flowing clouds, her brows and eyes were indifferent, she looked stubborn and cold.

She sighed, "Miss Muxi is really pretty."

Muxi lowered her eyes and sneered, "I hate this skin of mine the most."

The girl was as beautiful as a jade, but her fate was rough. After losing her mother and father one after another, she had no choice but to take her young sister to Beijing to seek refuge with distant relatives who were not related to her at all.

She was grateful to the Shangguan family for taking her in and providing her with a proper place to stay at the beginning.

Later, Shangguan Chuan got drunk, entered the wrong room and hugged the wrong person. She cried until her voice became hoarse, but still no one came to save her.

She would always remember Madam Shangguan's condescending attitude, pinching her chin with disdain and saying, "It's wrong, it's just a plaything. If the master likes it, just keep it."

From then on, she was still a girl living in the mansion on the surface, but in reality she became Shangguan Chuan's bed-warmer.

She thought about running away and also about dying, but her younger sister was in the hands of Madam Shangguan, so she could only accept her fate.

Madam Shangguan promised her that as long as she was obedient, she would let her sisters leave the house when Shangguan Chuan got tired of playing with her.

Her secret relationship with Shangguan Chuan gave Sheng Qingtang an opportunity.

Sheng Qingtang handed her a white jade bottle and said, "Use it every time you have sex. After a few times, Shangguan Chuan will have a stroke and die of heart failure."

This was the secret medicine she had bought at a huge price from the most chaotic brothel street in Jinling before coming to Beijing.

Muxi took it silently, looked at the white bottle in his hand, and smiled strangely and sadly, "Haha, I finally waited for this day."

Sheng Qingtang felt sympathetic, as they were all women trapped in the swamp, and beauty was a curse to them.

"This medicine... you apply it on your private parts, using your own body as a poison weapon, so..."

"So... when he dies, I die, too."

Muxi chuckled and answered, there was no fear on her face, and there was even a hint of relief.

Because of Mrs. Shangguan's indulgence, her youth, beauty, stubbornness, and the so-called sense of secrecy, Shangguan Chuan had always been particularly cruel to her, trying every possible way to torment her, using many tricks.

After each time, she wanted to kill herself, but she still had to live. She was already tired of it.

"I only have one request, take Muyun away and give her a new start."

Sheng Qingtang nodded, "I promise you."

Muxi looked into her eyes and said word by word, "I want you to teach her how to make a living. If she doesn't want to get married in the future, she can live well on her own. If she is lucky enough to meet someone she wants to spend her life with, I want you to give her a grand wedding."

She was a person of firm mind, and in order to gain her trust, Sheng Qingtang almost told her all his plans and promised to take her only sister to Fusang before she agreed to cooperate.

"She is lucky to have a sister like you." Sheng Qingtang raised his hand and swore to the sky, "From now on, I, Sheng Qingtang, will treat Muyun as my own sister. If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning."

Muxi clenched the bottle in her hand, "I believe you..."

In fact, she had no way out. Muyun was twelve or thirteen years old, and she was very beautiful, with the gentle and sweet beauty of the Jiangnan water town. Occasionally, Shangguan Chuan looked at her with a look that frightened her.

In addition, Madam Shangguan was dead, and no one in the mansion cared about the lives of the sisters, and the so-called leaving the mansion was even more distant.

In order to make her a qualified tool, Madam Shangguan had already fed her a large amount of safflower, and every winter her stomach would feel cold and painful.

What made her even more heartbroken was that Mu Yun was originally a very lively and cheerful child, but now he was becoming more and more cowardly.

When I was playing in the yard before, I accidentally met Shangguan Mingzhu who was in a bad mood.

Shangguan Mingzhu whipped her directly, called her a little bitch, and said many unbearable words.

She was drunk and passed out that night, twitching and crying as she said, "I'm not a bitch... Sister is not a bitch..."

Her heart was broken.

From then on, Mu Yun became silent and stayed in his room, not daring to go out and see anyone.

Every time Shangguan Chuan came to her place, she would find scratches on her arms caused by debris.

Muxi looked up at the night sky and said, "On countless nights when I held her in my arms and cried, I thought about stabbing Shangguan Chuan to death, or setting fire to Shangguan Mansion so that we could all die together."

"But she is still so young, she has not seen the outside world yet, her life has not really started yet, this is too cruel to her..."

"She will definitely have a new and beautiful life." Sheng Qingtang sighed, "But for you, I can't do anything, and I am particularly cruel."

Because she was also stuck in the quagmire and was trying hard to escape.

Muxi chuckled, "It doesn't matter. This is the best ending for me."

After she finished speaking, her thin figure slowly disappeared into the night.

After returning to the room and opening the door, Mu Yun huddled in the corner, feeling anxious and frightened.

Muxi walked over, gently pulled her out, and held her in her arms, "Yun'er, we can leave here, are you happy?"

Mu Yun's eyes lit up instantly, and he whispered, "Really?"

"Really? You followed a sister and left secretly, and then the sister came to find you."

Mu Yun looked at her uneasily, "Sister, don't lie to me."

"Let's make a pinky promise..." Muxi raised her little finger, and the two of them made a pinky promise, "We'll never change our promises for a hundred years!"

"You have to promise your sister that you will be obedient, study hard, and live happily when you go to the new place."

Perhaps she had a keen premonition of something, she hugged Muxi's waist and said, "Sister, come with me or I won't go anywhere."

Muxi said cruelly, "Only if you leave, I can find a chance to leave, understand?"

She lowered her head sadly, "I know."

That night, Muxi hummed the song that her mother used to sing to coax her to sleep.

After she fell asleep, she sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself, feeling both strange and familiar.

For a long time, she didn't dare to look in the mirror or face her current appearance.

A smile filled her eyes; everything was finally over.

Using her life to exchange for her sister's new life was the last thing she could do.

The world is too tiring. If there really is a next life, she doesn’t want to come again.
