The north wind was howling and in the dead of night, a skinny woman in a red dress and with delicate makeup climbed up the city wall tremblingly. Her arms were covered with scars, some of which had already healed, while others were still bleeding.

Climbing to the top of the city wall, the cold wind messed up Lin Li's hair. She looked down at the entire city, with tall buildings, pavilions and towers, but there was no place where she could stay.

Lin Li's face was pale and her eyes were dull. Although the wounds were painful, she no longer had any tears to shed. The stubborn and willful Miss Jiao was finally smoothed over and she jumped off the city wall without any hesitation.

The next day, the servant in charge of cleaning the city wall found Concubine Li's body with blood all over her face.

The Dayi Kingdom sent envoys to the Great Zhou Kingdom to mourn. The Great Zhou had changed its master, and the people across the country welcomed the new emperor to the throne. The new emperor issued a general amnesty, and the streets were decorated with lights and people. No one cared about the deceased Lin Li, and it seemed that no one remembered Lin Li's existence. This princess who had been married for the sake of friendly exchanges between the two countries had long been forgotten by the world.

Concubine Li committed suicide. According to the laws of the Dayi Kingdom, those who committed suicide would be punished along with their nine clans, and would not be allowed to be buried, but would be left exposed in the wilderness. However, Lin Li married far away and had no children, so there was no such thing as punishing her nine clans.

The servants wrapped Lin Li's body in a straw mat and threw it into the mass grave in the east of the city. That night, it rained heavily with lightning and thunder.

……

"Miss, Miss, please wake up." The maid Yuzhu shouted anxiously beside Lin Li's bed.

Lin Li opened her eyes, feeling weak all over. She raised her hand and pressed her temple. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she found that the scars on her arm were gone. Her scarred skin became as white as snow. Lin Li sat up suddenly and looked around. This was not her bedroom in Dayi Kingdom. Looking at the furnishings in the room through the curtain, they looked like decorations from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Yuzhu boldly opened the curtain. The young lady had a serious bad temper when she woke up. If there was nothing serious, the maids and the old women would not dare to disturb her casually. "Young lady, the young master is almost outside the city. The army is leaving today. If you rush over now, you can see the young master for the last time."

"What day is today?" Lin Li felt flustered when she saw Yuzhu. When she was married far away, Yuzhu and Zhen'er were sold by the eldest lady, and the maids who came with her as dowry were all selected by the Imperial Household Department.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty has been in power for sixteen years." Yuzhu knelt on the ground, fearing that the young lady would blame her.

Lin Li got out of bed barefoot and walked around the room. She had been working for sixteen years, which meant she was only fifteen years old this year. She couldn't believe this fact. Was she reborn?

Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of me, and a line of words appeared in front of me, "When you died in your previous life, your soul was struck by lightning, and time and space became disordered. If you want to live well in this world and change the fate of your previous life, you must find your soulmate. He has what you need and can also trigger unexpected skills. Report completed, system closed."

Such a long paragraph made Lin Li a little overwhelmed. She squatted down, hugged her knees and buried her head in them, needing to slowly digest the truth. She was a little scared and didn't know whether it was a dream or reality. The torture she suffered in death appeared in her mind one by one. The scars on her body were torn with pain. Lin Li could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

In order to maintain peaceful relations between the two countries, the emperor of the time wanted to choose a princess to marry. However, the emperor was incompetent and had no children for many years. The only princess died a few years ago. No one was suitable among the women of princes and nobles.

Later, the ministers helped them solve their problems and asked them to find suitable women and report them. They would be rewarded handsomely. I heard an interesting story. The daughter of Lin Shanzhi, the imperial physician, was clamoring to marry her eldest brother, even if it was a concubine. However, few people knew that Lin's eldest son was only an adopted son and had no blood relationship. This scandal was known to everyone. Lin's eldest son was brave and good at fighting, and was a pillar of society.

Therefore, before they even met, the emperor decided to let Lin Li, the daughter of Imperial Physician Lin, go as the marriage partner, and named Lin Li Princess Anhe, to be married off in grand ceremony at the beginning of next month.

Before Lin Li could react, she was stuffed into the bridal sedan. On the first night after her marriage, the old Chanyu died suddenly. According to the tradition of father-to-son inheritance, Lin Li became the concubine of the new Chanyu. However, the new Chanyu was inhumane and would only use violence to solve problems.

His concubines were all beaten and covered with bruises, and Lin Li was no exception. She suffered torture worse than death every day. Before the old wounds healed, new wounds followed.

In the end, Lin Li couldn't hold on any longer and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Zhen'er, who was outside the door, heard the noise in the house and immediately opened the door and came in. It was the first time she saw the young lady crying so sadly. She knelt beside Lin Li and said, "Young lady, young lady, please don't cry. The carriage is ready and is at the back door. It's not too late to leave now."

Everyone present thought that Lin Li was crying so sadly because the eldest young master had to go to the battlefield and would not be able to see her. The young lady's mother died of heavy hemorrhage when giving birth to her. For this reason, the eldest young master had taken good care of the young lady since she was a child, and she was very dependent on him.

Last night, Lin Li knew that her elder brother was going to the war soon, so she ran to say goodbye to him. It was dark and the road was slippery, and she slipped and fell into the lake. Fortunately, the guards beside Meng Ranyue rescued Lin Li in time and sent her back, saving her life.

Half a month ago, the eldest son Lin Wei married Meng Ranyue, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. The young lady cried so much that she fainted. After waking up, she refused to eat or drink and lost a lot of weight.

Lin Wei really couldn't bear it, so he brought Lin Li's favorite snacks to see her. He also promised to find a good husband for Lin Li, and even if he got married, he would still take care of her.

But Lin Li cried and begged Lin Wei to marry her. She would accept him even if he was her mistress. She just wanted to be with her eldest brother. The two of them quarreled so much that Lin Wei slammed the door and left.

"I won't chase you anymore," Lin Li wiped away her tears and stood up, "You guys go out first, leave me alone for a while."

I was ignorant in my previous life and caused myself suffering, just because I lacked care since childhood. Suddenly, someone came to care about me, brought me food and drinks, and made me happy when I was unhappy. This was just the love a brother has for his sister.

In fact, Lin Li didn’t really like her elder brother. She was afraid that he would forget his sister after he got married. Lin Li was afraid that no one would care about her in the future. To put it bluntly, she just lacked love.

Now I have the opportunity to live again. My first goal is to find my Mr. Right. He is my hope to live. But how can I find him in such a huge sea of ​​people?
