In her previous life, Su Jin Xia was deceived and persecuted, dying miserably. Reborn, she not only seeks revenge and corrects injustices but also protects the one she loves.
However, when lo...
"The first time I saw you, you were carrying a dead tree and stormed up Liuli Mountain. You came because of Nie Qingyi's collusion with the Southern Kingdom. At that time, I had been imprisoned by Nie Qingyi for many years and was nothing but a skeleton..."
Su Jin felt a pang of sadness and couldn't bear to recall certain memories.
Shen Qianxue gently patted her back, giving her strength without her even realizing it.
Su Jin took a deep breath and continued, "You were so majestic back then, like a god descending from heaven. I thought I had died and gone to heaven to see such a handsome and majestic person."
"After that, I learned your identity. I thought I was going to die, but you didn't kill me. You even had someone treat my wounds and let me go back to see my parents."
Su Jinxia burst into tears, choking back sobs as she said, "They're all dead, Tiger is dead too, everyone who wanted the best for me is dead. It's all because I was useless that they died."
Su Jin covered her face and wept, her deep sorrow pouring out.
Shen Qianxue was at a loss. He could only hold her tightly and tell her, "It's not your fault. Don't be sad, it will be alright..."
Su Jin hugged Shen Qianxue tightly. "I thought I would be free if I died. It was you who encouraged me and took care of me that made me survive. I wasn't very happy during that time, but it was the most unforgettable time of my life."
“I know you’re fighting hard, and I want to help you, but I don’t know anything. I’m just a useless person. Everyone says I’m delusional. Only you encourage me to bravely leave the mountains and see the outside world.”
"I'm so happy. I feel like one day I'll grow into someone who can help you, but..."
Su Jinxia fell silent. "But as soon as I left the mountains, I was captured by Zhou Ji. He colluded with the escaped Nie Qingyi and wanted my blood, so I went back to living a life of darkness."
“Nie Qingyi told me that you helped Zhou Ji conquer the world, but because your achievements overshadowed his, he treated you harshly. People with less merit than you became more powerful and oppressed the people, living a life of debauchery. You could only watch with a heavy heart.”
"I thought I would never see you again, never be able to tell you what kind of wolves and tigers surround you, but I never expected you to come and save me."
Su Jin sniffed, her voice trembling with sadness. "Because you came to save me, he killed you without a second thought! It's all over, but I just don't understand why justice and true feelings can only be exploited and deceived, while bad people can swagger around and prosper forever! This is not fair!"
Su Jin shook her head, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she realized, "So I came back, back to the time before Nie Qingyi locked me up, as if God sent me back to set things right."
In the blink of an eye, Su Jinxia burst into tears again. "But I didn't do a good job. I still made a mess of things. I couldn't save myself, I hurt you, and I couldn't kill Zhou Ji. How could I be so bad?"
Su Jinxia continued to weep, while Shen Qianxue was already deeply shocked.
If that's the case, then Shen Qianxue is the biggest obstacle on Su Jin's path to restoring order.
It turns out that the seemingly inexplicable feelings, the premeditated beginning, were actually a reunion after going through life and death!
Shen Qianxue was a little dazed, but Su Jinxia cried even more and more uncontrollably, so Shen Qianxue had no choice but to hold her in her arms and pat her back to comfort her.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Were you afraid I wouldn't believe you?"
Su Jinxia shook her head, sniffed pitifully, "It's not just that, I'm more afraid that you'll know how terrible I was before, and I'm even more afraid that you'll feel sad and guilty if you know about your past experiences."
"Silly girl, since it was my mistake, I should bear the consequences. Why should you have to shoulder all of this?" Shen Qianxue's voice was tinged with a faint sob, but he tried his best to hold it in.
He can't cry. If he cries, who will take care of the little one in his arms who is so heartbroken that she can't control herself? Who will provide her with a safe haven?
Crying is really exhausting. Su Jinxia cried for a short while and then ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Qianxue wiped away the tears on her cheeks and gently kissed her eyebrows and eyes.
As the night wind picked up, Shen Qianxue carried Su Jin back to the room, carefully settled her in bed, and then quietly watched her.
Nie Qingyi, Zhou Ji... It turns out that what she was carrying was not danger and betrayal, but deep hatred.
Although Su Jinxia explained it simply, Shen Qianxue could easily deduce the various things that happened in her past life by combining them with what she had experienced in this life.
Ultimately, it was his aiding and abetting of evil that led to countless tragedies.
No wonder Su Jinxia stopped me from helping Zhou Ji raise an army the first time we met. No wonder Su Jinxia wanted to intercept the rebel army and start her own. No wonder Su Jinxia was willing to fall out with me to destroy the Xia family. No wonder Su Jinxia insisted on taking the withered tree.
She was saving people; she truly wanted everyone to live, to live well...
Ironically, despite Su Jinxia's repeated reminders and even making it clear, she still didn't believe her!
Shen Qianxue bent over, resting her elbows on her knees, supporting her head, and was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten up.
Suddenly, Su Hu pushed open the door to the room, stared coldly at Shen Qianxue, and said in a low but angry voice, "How much longer do you plan to stay?"
He was furious, but afraid of disturbing Su Jin, he had to lower his voice.
Shen Qianxue glanced at Su Jinxia, and seeing that she looked calm, she got up and left.
Su Hu snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because things have turned sour between you and the nun, I'll take pity on you and let it go. Don't even think about it. You'd better leave Liuli Mountain immediately!"
Shen Qianxue recalled Su Jinxia's words; in her past life, Su Hu probably died because of Su Jinxia.
Knowing this, Shen Qianxue actually found the man more agreeable.
Su Hu didn't go looking for Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue. He just stayed in Su Jinxia's room, waiting for her to return. So he didn't know what Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia had just said or what had happened.
Shen Qianxue, unusually, ignored Su Hu and instead sat down on the stone steps in front of the door.
"What are you doing sitting here? I told you to come down the mountain! Why are you acting like a mangy dog!" Su Hu was furious.
Shen Qianxue took a deep breath and retorted, "I advise you to recognize your place. Although Su Jinxia and I are not married, we have not broken off our engagement either. She is still my fiancée, and I can come to see her whenever I want!"
"You!" Su Hu gritted his teeth in anger. Shen Qianxue had the audacity to bring up that outdated marriage idea.
Just as Su Hu was about to take action, the nun hurriedly walked in. She had heard that Su Jinxia had not returned for a long time and was worried that Su Jinxia would go to argue with Shen Qianxue because of her, so she rushed over to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Qianxue sitting on the steps as soon as she entered the door.
