Liang Jiaojiao usually enjoys taking a bath the most. Several people fill the bucket with water and flower petals, she stands on a stool, sits in it, and lies down. After the bath, she goes to bed and sleeps. It's incredibly comfortable.

Today, however, she was a little impatient, her whole body was incredibly itchy, and she couldn't wait to get into the bathtub and soak right away.

She scratched herself, wondering, "What's wrong? Why is it so itchy all of a sudden? Could it be an allergic reaction?"

She looked in the mirror but didn't see any papules.

"It's probably not an allergy; it's more likely that it came into contact with something dirty."

She thought she would feel better after taking a bath, so she headed towards the bathroom.

Two young maids directed the servants to carry water, and they threw flower petals into it.

"Hurry, hurry..."

Liang Jiaojiao couldn't wait a moment longer.

"You all should get out of here."

She couldn't wait to take off her clothes and jumped into the bathtub without needing anyone to serve her.

The servants quickly ran out, not daring to linger. This master had a terrible temper, and they dared not look any longer.

Liang Jiaojiao soaked in the water and let out a comfortable sigh.

However, the medicine works from the inside out, and hot water couldn't relieve the itch at all. She soon found that her body was itchy again.

This time, her whole body started to itch. She kept scratching, and soon her skin bled, and the color in the bathtub gradually turned red.

...

"ah……"

The little maid at the door was getting impatient. She was startled when she heard the sound. Liang Jiaojiao had been soaking for far too long today. What was wrong?

"What's wrong inside? Shall we go take a look?"

The two little girls discussed opening the door, but almost fainted.

Liang Jiaojiao was covered in wounds and fainted in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was bright red, and even the flower petals were stained with blood.

The two girls quickly went to call Qin's mother, but they were too young to lift her and were also afraid of taking responsibility.

When Qin's mother saw this, she was also startled and quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor and put Liang Jiaojiao on the bed.

I dare not wear clothes because of all these injuries; I can only leave them to dry.

The doctor examined the patient but was also at a loss.

"I've never seen this before. It feels like poisoning. Let's prescribe some antidote to take first."

The doctor prescribed some medicine and left; there were both internal and external medications.

Qin's mother frowned. Had she offended someone? Judging from Liang Jiaojiao's condition, she was doomed.

She shook her head. What a pity. She was truly a rare and wonderful person.

Liang Jiaojiao woke up, but she couldn't control her hands and could only beg Qin's mother to tie her up so that she could avoid scratching.

The itching was so intense that she tried her best not to scratch, crying day and night, and several of the ropes binding her hands broke.

Three months later, the itching finally subsided. Although she didn't scratch, the scars on her body piled up one after another, and she was completely unrecognizable. She could no longer see any trace of her former charming and lovely self.

Qin's mother sighed, "Jiaojiao, don't blame me. If your face could still be saved, I would have asked a doctor to take a look at you. But look at your face, sigh..."

It's a pity for her; she finally managed to attract a group of customers, and now this has happened.

Liang Jiaojiao cried and begged, "Mom, don't kick me out. I can do things, and I can do makeup. Yes, I can make my sisters more beautiful."

She poured out all her secrets, hoping to find a place to settle down.

Qin's mother hesitated for a moment, but decided to see her cooking skills first.

Liang Jiaojiao was quite skilled; her makeup skills greatly pleased Qin's mother. From then on, Liang Jiaojiao became the makeup artist at Linghualou, specializing in doing makeup for the girls.

For a time, she was once again at the height of her fame, but this time, she was no longer riding high. Whenever she saw others looking beautiful while she herself was covered in scars, she was filled with sorrow.

No matter how well she disguised herself, she could never return to her original self. Under the daily pressure, she gradually went mad.

With enough dedication, makeup can be replicated. Soon, Liang Jiaojiao's skills were also learned by others, and she was no longer the only makeup artist.

During a makeup session, she lost control of her hands and ruined the girl's appearance, which also caused Qin's mother to completely lose her tolerance for her.

Liang Jiaojiao was kicked out of Linghualou. She begged on the street and was bullied. Children called her an ugly monster, and the waiter was afraid that she would affect the business, so he didn't let her appear at the door.

Liang Jiaojiao could only find food in the garbage dump, and not long after, she died on a cold, rainy night.
