The elders in my family often say that there was a saying that circulated in old Shanghai.

The bustling metropolis of Shanghai, a place of sensual pleasures, is now deserted, except for Pei Sijin

… …

The night was slightly cool.

In the sparsely populated backyard of Peach Blossom Garden, occasional pitiful screams could be heard.

Five bodyguards in black, each holding a leather whip, lashed the slender "girl" on the ground.

At the same time, he was muttering and cursing:

"Go to hell with you, you little sissy! Don't you even know who you are? You're just a good-for-nothing who does odd jobs at the theater. How dare you even think about our young master Zhou?"

"That's right, our young master Zhou said he doesn't like men, so it's no use dressing like this! Don't make yourself look neither male nor female, it's really disgusting to look at."

"Pei Sijin, tell me, are you stupid, or are you stupid?"

If you had simply served tea and water to the gentlemen watching the show in this peach garden, you wouldn't have met with this fatal disaster.

But what happened? You insisted on wearing a cheongsam, awkwardly holding a pot of tea, and ended up burning the famous actor that our young master Zhou had just taken a fancy to.

Isn't that just courting death?

Don't blame the brothers!

As he spoke, several more lashes fell.

The thin boy breathed his last, his eyes wide open in death as he clutched a silk handkerchief tightly in his hand.

As soon as Si Jin transmigrated, she saw the handkerchief through the original owner's eyes, which were still closed.

Xiao Yao quickly transferred the original owner's memories.

This handkerchief was given to the original owner by Zhou Xingbang, the young master Zhou mentioned by these bodyguards, the youngest son of the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

The original owner was sold to Peach Garden by her smoking father when she was young.

Peach Blossom Garden was a famous theater in Shanghai.

Because the first troupe leader shocked the whole country with his performance of "The Peach Blossom Fan".

Therefore, it was named Peach Blossom Garden.

The original owner of this body had to practice breathing exercises and vocal exercises every day, as well as wipe tables, sweep floors, and serve tea and water.

The wicked capitalists relentlessly exploit his small body, trying to squeeze out all his remaining value.

However, after more than a decade of hard work, he finally made it.

At the age of nineteen, the original owner disguised herself as a female opera singer and played the female lead Li Xiangjun in "The Peach Blossom Fan".

Because of her graceful figure and beautiful voice, she became extremely popular throughout the country.

Many people come specifically to hear him sing, including the dashing playboy Zhou Xingbang.

Zhou Xingbang took a liking to the original owner of the body in Kunqu Opera attire, so he lingered in the Peach Blossom Garden every day, trying his best to please him, and even gave him a handkerchief as a token of their love.

But after learning that he was a man, he vomited violently and refused to believe that this was the famous actor he had seen.

So Zhou Xingbang began to surround the theater with his bodyguards every day, forcing the owner to hand over the real "Li Xiangjun".

Under pressure, the owner of Peach Garden had no choice but to find a beautiful woman, Qing Mianliu, to perform on stage.

He only opened his mouth, but didn't sing, letting the original owner perform a double act backstage.

Now Zhou Xingbang was satisfied.

He spent his days embracing Qingmian Liu until dawn, and spent lavishly on the Peach Blossom Garden.

Once the theater owner saw the benefits of doing this, he exploited the original owner even more, threatening him that he must support Qingmianliu.

Otherwise, kick him out of Peach Garden.

The original owner was timid by nature and dared not resist. Furthermore, because Qingmianliu publicized her story of being rejected by Zhou Xingbang, she became the laughing stock of the entire garden.

However, Zhou Xingbang was the only light in the original owner's life.

He didn't want to give up easily, so he even started wearing women's clothing to please Zhou Xingbang.

Just now, while Zhou Xingbang was holding Qing Mianliu and listening to the opera, the original owner, wearing a cheongsam, went to pour tea for Zhou Xingbang. She accidentally spilled a drop of tea, which scalded Qing Mianliu's little finger.

When the woman cried, Zhou Xingbang felt extremely distressed.

They immediately ordered someone to drag the original owner away and whip him to death.

Si Jin quickly reviewed this memory, frowned, and concluded that she had learned a lesson—

Simps never get a good death.

He propped himself up and coldly glanced at the five bodyguards surrounding him, seemingly pondering some interesting way to die.

When the bodyguards saw that the person was awake, they all stared in astonishment.

"No way? He's been beaten like that and he's still not dead?"

"This little sissy is pretty resilient. Let me give him another lash!"

As they were speaking, the bodyguard closest to Si Jin suddenly lashed out with his whip.

The sharp whip whistled through the air.

The moment he got close to Si Jin, he gently grasped the leather whip with his hand.

Then, in the boy's smiling eyes, it shattered into several pieces.

It landed limply on the ground.
