Chapter 17

Yuan Luoyi was somewhat reassured by Second Brother's words.

He was an inscrutable man, always smiling bloodthirstily, acting dramatically like in a play, reciting long monologues, yet his eyes were extremely cold at their core, he was born emotionally aloof, unable to empathize with others.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

But Yuan Luoyi knew Second Brother would not truly harm her.

In the room, Yuan Fa laid Yuan Luoyi flat and covered her with a quilt.

"Slap!"

With a snap of his fingers, the lights in the room darkened.

The pure moonlight spilled in, and Yuan Fa stood at the bedside silhouetted against it, making him look like a coiled giant snake.

When Yuan Luoyi had nightmares as a child, she didn't dare sleep, and Yuan Fa would stand guard at her bedside like this until she fell asleep again.

Now, Yuan Fa thought Yuan Luoyi had been frightened by a nightmare again, but what really terrified Yuan Luoyi were the enemies lurking in the shadows.

What kind of power was it that could bring about the complete destruction of the Yuan family?

According to the memory fragments, when she was 18 she was discovered to be an imposter daughter and driven out by Father Yuan, then sentenced to death.

But Yuan Luoyi hadn't seen the cause and effects leading up to it.

People all said the devil was in the details, so perhaps that cunning culprit was also hiding in these memory shards.

Perhaps Yuan Luoyi could change the Yuan family's tragic ending.

No.

She was the only one who could change it.

This was probably why she had become Yuan Luoyi again for the second time.

Closing her eyes, adjusting her breathing, Yuan Luoyi slowly fell asleep. Whenever she slept she could see more memory fragments, 99 lifetimes of memories jumbled together, appearing randomly, and Yuan Luoyi had to grasp the memory shards she needed.

Finally, there it was.

She saw her 18 year old self standing in court, countless reporters behind her, three judges before her.

"Bang!" The gavel fell.

"After joint deliberation by the court, Yuan Luoyi is found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by immediate execution!"

Yuan Luoyi was very confused.

The system also had a wish granting function that would probably help greatly once activated.

The next morning, the birds chirped noisily outside the window, and Yuan Luoyi got up groggily.

Yuan Fa had already left, but in his place he had left a over one meter tall plush rabbit by Yuan Luoyi's pillow. Its whole body was snow white, with a black bowtie around its neck. This was the 11th birthday gift Yuan Fa gave Yuan Luoyi.

He said it was a magical rabbit that could eliminate all curses and pain.

At the time, Yuan Luoyi felt it was quite childish. After all she was no longer 3 years old, she wouldn't fall for such lies.

But now Yuan Luoyi felt perhaps it really was a magical rabbit, because after falling asleep again, she didn't have any more "nightmares".

As usual, after washing up Yuan Luoyi got in the car and headed to Star Galaxy Middle School.

The students looked vigorous and lively, chatting and fooling around with their friends, discussing homework, games, and their first innocent crushes.

Walking among the crowd with her schoolbag, Yuan Luoyi stood out, filled with complex emotions.

She had changed.

After seeing those memory fragments, she could no longer freely enjoy life. Now she wanted to change the future.

Star Galaxy Middle School was especially lively today. Many photographers had come, stringing cables all through the campus and adjusting camera equipment worth millions.

Nearby, two red haired students chatted excitedly in Italian.

"The school's campus variety show is starting! Are you participating?"

"Forget it. My Chinese isn't good enough. And I don't have connections in the entertainment industry either."

"Good point. Ugh, why does Chinese have to have four tones! It's so hard to learn!"

Yuan Luoyi had never studied Italian, but she could understand some of it, because she had been an Italian shoemaker in one lifetime.

Passing the Italian students, Yuan Luoyi and Yuan Ao walked to the front of the classroom building.

The whole building had an ancient style, with towering flying eaves, orderly arranged roof tiles, intricately carved lattice windows, and a pair of towering stone qilins at the entrance.

This majestic classroom building made Yuan Luoyi feel like she had come to attend court rather than go to school.

The principal had even changed the bell chime to the "Hymn for the Emperor's Ascension", saying it would ignite everyone's ambition to study harder, but in reality, the over-the-top grandiosity only provoked the students' sense of shame.

"Ding ling ling!"

The warning bell rang, and the other students hurriedly ran off while Yuan Luoyi leisurely walked to Class D.
