Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Did you know? Qu Shang's fate was severely damaged, which made his life span no more than 30 years. This year is his 28th year in the world, and there are less than two years left."

Jiang Xue listened attentively, knowing that Qu Xin's words must be of great significance.

"Is my rebirth related to this?" Jiang Xue asked after a brief thought.

Qu Xin smiled bitterly and nodded: "Indeed. In order to change your fate, your master used a forbidden technique, but the price was not only his own.

According to the principle of conservation of nature, to rewrite one person's fate, you must exchange it for another person's fate. Your rebirth is at the cost of Qu Shang's lifespan."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue widened her eyes in shock. She had never thought that her second life was built on Qu Shang's life.

"This is why Qu Shang resents you."

"I think Qu Shang has only recently learned the truth. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be easy for him to deal with you. The reason why he didn't do anything is because he doesn't understand the whole cause and effect relationship yet."

"What about you? Why does he hate you?" Jiang Xue asked.

Qu Xin sneered: "Xiaoxue, there really are people in this world who are born to be incompatible with each other. Ever since my master brought me into the Five Poison Sect, I felt his disgust for me. Everything I experienced in the first three years there..."

She looked at Jiang Xue with purple eyes, and her voice was bitter, "My eyes are purple because of Qu Shang. When he realized that he could not live long, he became obsessed with finding a way to achieve immortality.

Those alchemists were the product of his failed experiments, and before them, he was testing those unfinished drugs on me, which is why my eyes became like this."

Since she was a child, she has endured countless bullying and ridicule because of her purple eyes.

In a sinister plot, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect, jealous of her being favored by their master, attempted to blind her eyes with the scorpion's tail.

Fortunately, the master arrived in time, otherwise she might have died at the age of eight.

"Even if you have different personalities, you wouldn't want to kill someone." Xiao Zhan was puzzled by Qu Xin's statement.

He thought it was hard to believe that such a deep hatred could arise simply because of a disagreement in temperament.

"Emperor Beiling is right. The incompatibility of magnetic fields alone is not enough to make him want to kill me." Qu Xin explained, "But if you add Qu Shang's morbid love for Master, the situation will be different."

"You mean... Qu Shang he..." Jiang Xue seemed to have sensed something from Qu Xin's words.

"That's right. This madman Qu Shang has an abnormal feeling for his biological sister... my master. He has an extreme possessiveness towards my master. Anyone who gets close to her will be regarded as an enemy, and even turned into bones by his poison.

I survived because I had developed a resistance to the poison after three years of torture at his hands. He believed that I had stolen his master's attention, and this jealousy, combined with his hatred for me, was enough to motivate him to kill me."

"So, where is Master?" Jiang Xue asked.

If everything is as Qu Xin said, Qu Shang's short life was caused by her, but what was the master's fault?

"What do you think? If Xiao Yunjian hadn't asked your master to change your fate, Qu Shang's fate would not have been affected. All this came from your master's help, so how could he not hate him?" Qu Xin replied.

Jiang Xue fell into deep thought: "So, everything happened because of me."

She looked at her blood-stained palms, her fingers trembling. Her heart was like a turbulent sea, tearing apart her inner peace.

If it wasn't for her rebirth, her master wouldn't have been injured, Qu Shang wouldn't have resented and retaliated against her uncle's family, her cousin wouldn't have fallen into a coma, and Qu Xin wouldn't have suffered inhuman abuse. All of this seemed to be her fault.

"This is not your fault." Xiao Zhan felt distressed when he saw the collapse hidden beneath her calm appearance.

He hugged her tightly, feeling her trembling, and his heart trembled with her.

"Xiaoxue, this is not your fault." He whispered in her ear to comfort her.

"Qu Shang is extreme by nature. Even if this incident had not happened, he might have done the same thing. The current situation is inevitable and has nothing to do with you." Xiao Zhan continued.

"What Emperor Beiling said makes sense." Although Qu Xin had always been curious about what the calm Jiang Xue would look like when she collapsed, when he actually saw this scene, he felt a little bit of pity in his heart.

After all, none of this was within her control.

Her life seemed always to be guided by the stars of destiny.

"You can't control this. When you lose your martial arts, your loved ones are killed, and you die alone in the cold snow.

Xiao Yunjian came to the Five Poison Sect of his own will, and he was willing to pay any price for it.

As for Qu Shang, it is his nature. Even if this incident hadn’t happened, he might have become evil for other reasons.”

"Lost martial arts... lost loved ones... died in ice and snow..." This was the first time Xiao Zhan heard of Jiang Xue's tragic ending in her previous life.

It is really heartbreaking to think of her cold-sensitive body ending her life in the snow and ice.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Xiao Zhan could hardly imagine what kind of suffering she had endured at Jun Li's hands.

Whenever he thought of the man who killed her, Xiao Zhan regretted not letting him suffer more.

"I tell you this not to make you blame yourself, but because I hope you can understand Qu Shang's past. Only by understanding the enemy can you defeat him. These are the weaknesses that Qu Shang is unwilling to mention, and I hope you can make good use of them."

Qu Xin said seriously, his purple eyes fixed on Jiang Xue, “Qu Shang only has less than two years left to live, and if he is not stopped, he will cause great damage within these two years.

You have seen the elixir that Lu Linyi mentioned. If Qu Shang uses it to prolong his life and increase his strength, the consequences will be disastrous."

"You mean, he wants to destroy the entire Beiling?" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Zhan immediately ordered Tieyi: "Immediately mobilize everyone in Linglong Pavilion to find Qu Shang's location."

"Not only Beiling, but also Qian Kingdom. He will not let go of anything I care about." Jiang Xue's voice was low and the expression on her face was almost invisible.

She walked out of the door slowly, each step seemed heavy. Watching her leaving, Xiao Zhan was filled with worry.

Although the night wind was cold, it was not as cold as the chill in her heart. Standing under the moonlight, Jiang Xue looked up at the starless night sky and felt more lonely than ever before.

"Fourth sister-in-law." Xiao Yun walked over with two jugs of wine. Ever since Jiang Chongyi passed away, drinking at night became his way of escaping reality.

The unexpected meeting with Jiang Xue tonight might help him forget his sorrow temporarily and regain his carefree days in the past.

He was quite surprised.

"Your Highness Prince An." Jiang Xue turned around and called softly.

"Fourth sister-in-law is still so polite to me."

Xiao Yun smiled and raised the wine jug in his hand and shook it towards her, "I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law is also a wine lover. Today, she happened to bring a jug of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that she brewed herself. Would you like to try it together?"
