In her previous life, Jiang Ruan finally defeated the final invaders with her supreme martial prowess and superpowers, preparing to ascend the supreme throne and lead humanity towards a new dawn.
After Gu An left, Jiang Ruan quickly woke up, but she was a completely different person.
Jiang Ruan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze revealing confusion and bewilderment.
She felt her body brimming with power, but at the same time, a strange emotion welled up inside her.
"Who am I? Where am I?" Jiang Ruan sat up and looked around.
She saw the room's furnishings and decorations, but none of them could evoke her memory.
Suddenly, a blurry image flashed through her mind.
It was the figure of a man, and he was saying something to her.
Jiang Ruan tried desperately to grasp that memory, but it vanished without a trace, like smoke blown away by the wind.
"No matter what, I must find the answer!" Jiang Ruan secretly vowed.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then resolutely walked out of the room.
Everything before her eyes was so unfamiliar, as if she were in a completely different world.
But she did not back down; instead, she mustered her courage and took the first step.
She decided to start with her surroundings, carefully observing every detail in hopes of finding some clues.
She walked through room after room, seeing many strange objects and decorations that puzzled her.
However, she did not give up and continued to explore.
Behind a door at the end of the corridor, she discovered a huge library.
The bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books, seemingly containing endless knowledge.
Jiang Ruan excitedly entered the library and began to browse through the ancient books.
Perhaps here, she can find the truth about this world.
But her actions startled everyone who was still worried about her.
After all, Jiang Ruan's current behavior is completely childlike.
"Gu...Gu An, am I seeing things? A-Ruan is awake, but why doesn't she even want to see you? She went straight to the library that we painstakingly collected and built."
An Xia saw the completely different Jiang Ruan, and her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Gu An didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions, including doubt, worry, and a hint of disappointment.
He watched Jiang Ruan walk into the library without hesitation, and a strange unease welled up in his heart.
He quickly caught up with Jiang Ruan and entered the library, where he found her standing in front of the bookshelves, carefully flipping through the books. Her eyes were focused and attentive, as if she had a great interest in these books.
"Ah Ruan, what are you looking for?" Gu An asked softly, trying to get her attention.
However, Jiang Ruan did not respond to him, but continued to immerse herself in her own world. Her expression was cold and distant, completely different from the gentle and kind Jiang Ruan she had known before.
Gu An's heart sank. He didn't know what had happened to make Jiang Ruan so unfamiliar. He tried to find some clues in her eyes, but all he saw was coldness.
"Ah Ruan, do you still remember me?" Gu An asked again, his voice filled with anticipation.
This time, Jiang Ruan finally raised her head, her gaze sweeping coldly over Gu An before she lowered her head again to continue reading.
Gu An's face turned deathly pale; he couldn't believe his eyes. Did Jiang Ruan really not remember him? Or was she pretending not to know him?
"Ah Ruan, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. Please tell me, what's wrong with you?" Gu An's tone revealed a firmness and determination.
However, Jiang Ruan remained silent, simply placing the book back on the shelf before turning and leaving the library.
Gu An stared blankly at her departing figure, his heart filled with confusion and pain.
He knew that no matter what, he had to find out the whole story and get back the Jiang Ruan he knew.
"Go find that woman immediately. No matter what method you use, you must get to the bottom of what happened to A-Ruan. If she refuses to tell the truth, you can use some special methods!"
Gu An looked down at the man in black lying on the ground. This man had a face that resembled his own, but his temperament was completely different.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take care of it right away!"
The man in black dared not be negligent in the slightest. He knew Gu An's temper and methods well, and he also knew the importance of this mission. He had to extract Jiang Ruan's whereabouts from that woman as soon as possible.
If he fails, Gu An will punish him mercilessly.
After the man left, Gu An glanced at An Xia, who was still watching the commotion, and his expression turned stern, causing An Xia to leave immediately.
Even if Gu An didn't say anything, she could guess with a high degree of accuracy that the woman was Gu Ruyi.
Because she saw it, and knew that only this person could make Jiang Ruan so sad and heartbroken.
Moreover, Jiang Ruan only became like this after meeting Gu Ruyi.
All of this indicates that Gu Ruyi is inextricably linked to this matter.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill and anger, and her heart ached for Gu Ruyi's inconsiderate act of harm.
