Chapter 25.3 : The Truth Back Then
“When other children were indulging in fun and laughter with abandon, all running wildly and playing, I was confined in my wheelchair, like a bird whose wings were clipped, yearning to soar in the sky, which was all just a hopeless longing.”
When the youth opened his eyes again, his eyes were red and bloodshot, the garish colour of blood letting Qing Yu see a kind of sorrow she had never seen before.
Her heart suddenly sank deeply, an intense hatred seemingly having spread into her from him, sharing the same sentiment.
Looking back throughout her past life, Qing Yu had been betrayed by her closest kin, and made used of by her family clan. But as she had been living in those circumstances from a very young age, her heart had long died, without feeling the slightest ripple of emotion.
Even when at the end of it, when even her last hope was destroyed, she had only felt being really tired of that filthy world, and did not want to live anymore.
Revenge?
She had never once thought of it.
With the kind of powers she had then, toppling that world would just be merely lifting a finger.
But even if that world disappeared, so what?
In the end, wouldn’t she still be alone by herself, muddling through her life without meaning.
So she had chosen to die away quietly, as once she was dead, then there would be no more struggling, no more scheming and deceit, where she would no longer have to see the ugly faces of those hypocrites. With her dying a quiet death, the world would then be complete, and how great was that.
Ha….. Was she really such a noble person?
Hey, maybe she was a hypocrite herself. Always thinking that she’s a saviour, caring for all under the Heavens.
But there were also things that she was powerless against.
Like when she saw those friends who treated her with true hearts die because of her, besides watching them breathing their very last breath right before her eyes, there was nothing she could do.
So when she was reborn into this world, she believed only in one thing. And that was to live for herself, to live for people whom she wanted to protect. But before that, she needed to possess unparalleled and unmatched power and authourity!
Qing Yu reached out a hand, and gently ran it over the top of those red bloodshot eyes. “It alright now. Little Bei, I will make sure that all the suffering you’ve endured will be all paid back bit by bit.”
The youth’s body stiffened for a second and then slowly relaxed. The eyes under her hand blinked lightly twice. “You….. will always be by my side….. right?”
She said that she was a soul from another world. Then would she also have to disappear one fine day?
Sensing his unease, Qing Yu reached out and hugged him lightly. “I will. I will always be with you.”
When she had died in her previous life, it had been because she had no more lingering worry. But here in this current life, she would not allow for any element to be able to threaten her, and to anyone she treasured.
Anything that obstructed her way forward, she would….. eliminate them all one by one!

The Crown Prince’s Palace had received an esteemed guest who had been staying in there for the past few days already.
Exact details about the identity of the person was not known but endless delicacies and fine wine were sent in there everyday. The palace servants inside merely served the guest respectfully and did not dare slack off in the slightest.
At that moment, upon the cosy and beautiful carved wood lounge chair in the ancillary courtyard, laid a man who had his eyes closed, dozing soundly.
The sound of light footsteps came in from outside, and the eyelids of the man twitched slightly, his eyes opening.
Someone pushed the door open to enter, a tall and slim figure dressed in an ivory coloured long robe covered with a dragon motif, his features gentle and handsome, the Crown Prince himself, Xuanyuan Che.
“How are you feeling? Are you still feeling any discomfort anywhere?” Xuanyuan Che asked, as he raised a hand to take the other man’s pulse.
The other man pulled his hand back, and gave Xuanyuan Che a disgruntled glance. “I’ve already said that I’m fine. You’re such a nag.”
A twitch formed at Xuanyuan Che’s temple, and he said with a mirthless smile: “You think I really want to come bother myself with you? It’s just that if you come to die here in my Crown Prince’s Palace, it will cause me all sorts of unnecessary trouble.”

Hmm so we’ve got a cute cinnamonroll for a brother…
The duke who was a person she saved and cared for in her past life (with hints of being 2nd lead)
The mysterious dude who destroyed her garden and most likely extremely powerful given the crown prince has to deal with him carefully (im assuming a lot here)
And the clear ML who was stripped naked more or less 🤣 who comes with unintentional comedic divine healer
Our poor little cinnamon roll Qing Bei!
He really has been through a lot for someone so young, so I hope the rest of his life is happier.
Thank you for the chapter!
Hmm lots of mystery
Aw… I don’t know enough to pass judgment on her actions, but I do think leaving ML alone is rather heartbreaking, he wasn’t even in a particularly safe position from the looks of it since it’s implied that he died soon after and came to this world as well.
… or is she really someone else? Hmm… Weird.
If I had to guess this is the person that Qing Yu saved that day since there’s talk of him dying?
Is the duke the ML? I thought at most the 2nd lead.
And hmmm i feel as she said she’s a hypocrite. she claims she has nothing left but probably she just reached the end of her rope. She despaired at her life and had no will to fight for it as she only saw dead ends and death. Also she probably hoped that the boy (duke) she saved was strong enough by then yet unknown so he could dissapear and lead a good life. Naturally it didnt happen.
I take it in this 2nd life of hers she feels she can start afresh and truly live for herself and her loved ones because her situation isnt as hopeless as previously (trapped and used by what seems to be a powerful family clan).
I honestly don’t know who the ML would have been from her past life.
Mainly because the circumstances don’t QUITE line up properly. The past life in this case seems to assume that QIng Yu was a peak existence that could destroy anything *if* she wanted to.
Whereas the past life that somehow ended up still having a spiritual sign leftover seemed to assume that she’s only a pawn to be used without the ability to defend herself (Unless she somehow wanted to allow her past life’s lover down which seems…. unlikely?)
I’m leaning towards Qing Yu being a reincarnation of another person as well and her having multiple past lives… Doesn’t make the most sense, but I guess more will get confirmed over time?
It’s also possible I misunderstood something because sometimes I skim things too much or take logical leaps that are a bit too long XD
