Yao Anna's calmness in this matter clearly surprised even the mountain god.

When he was at the height of his power, many humans came to the mountain god's temple to pray for marriage because of matters of the heart.

He never really understood why people would risk their lives for such a vague and illusory emotion, even to the point of disregarding their own safety.

However, it was precisely because of Yao Anna's attitude that he actually remembered why he felt that Lin Ruolin, whom Yao Anna mentioned, was somewhat familiar.

Because this person really does have some similarities to a woman he once remembered quite vividly.

"Someone else is like her?!"

Hearing the mountain god mention it, Yao Anna became somewhat interested. She turned to look at the mountain god, since she couldn't sleep anyway, listening to some gossip wouldn't hurt.

“Yes.” The mountain god nodded, paused for a moment to organize his thoughts, and then whispered to Yao Anna, “But that was a long time ago.”

That was when my mountain god temple was at its most popular with worshippers.

Many people come here, asking for many things.

They knelt before my statue, praying for peace, children, and marriage.

In truth, those people came with great sincerity, but they did not place all their hopes on praying to the gods. They prayed simply to gain faith and set a goal. By kneeling here in faith, they believed they could receive divine protection, and thus they would strive harder in their future lives.

Until that afternoon, a strange female guest came to my mountain god temple.

I can't quite remember what that woman looked like now, but what I can picture is her disheveled state. A disheveled state as if she had traversed countless mountains and rivers, yet it didn't extinguish the obsession in her eyes.

She knelt before the statue of the god, praying for a marriage.

I listened as she rambled on and on in front of me, saying that her lover had disappeared, left her, and abandoned her!

But she was unwilling to give up and was determined to find her lover!

So she traveled far and wide, and whenever she encountered a temple, she would enter and pray, asking the gods to bless her and help her find her lover.

At that time, I just felt sorry for her eyes.

Out of a moment of weakness, I thought about whether I could help her.

As it turned out, after I actually used my divine sense to understand what had happened to her, I realized that there is such a thing as reaping what you sow!

The mountain god seemed somewhat emotional as he spoke. He sighed softly, shook his head, and seeing that Yao Anna was listening attentively, he continued, "The marriage she sought was stolen from her half-sister."

Originally, this man and her sister were betrothed since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts.

However, later, because her mother's identity as a mistress was exposed, she returned to her father's side with her mother, and naturally met that man.

She took a liking to him at first sight.

So, disregarding everything else, she schemed and plotted to steal her sister's marriage!

However, the man did not develop feelings for her after marriage as she had hoped. Instead, he left the family with her sister and disappeared without a trace.

In this way, she, the so-called lawfully wedded first wife, became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

So she was unwilling to give up and vowed to find her husband.

However, no matter how much she made a fuss, she never heard from those two people again.

Do you think she looks a lot like the girl you described?

"They do resemble each other somewhat, but I don't think there's anything to sympathize with in such people."

After all, she chose her own path. If she's willing to do anything to destroy other people's happiness, then the chances of her finding happiness herself are extremely slim.

Yao Anna turned her head and glanced in the direction of the cave entrance. She remained silent for a while before speaking: "Just like Lin Ruolin, she schemed and plotted, but did she really get the happiness she wanted?!"

Did she really think that all the scheming she had put in to control Gu Cheng was the Gu Cheng she truly wanted?!

I think that's definitely not the case.

However, this is the path she chose herself, and whether it's good or bad, she has to work hard to walk it.

As Yao Anna spoke with the mountain god, she was unaware that chaos had already broken out outside.

Lin Ruolin's plan went wrong; the doll that helped her get what she wanted backfired this time.

After failing to obtain her promised sacrifice, the doll immediately became angry! Lin Ruolin had already given a lot to help her win Gu Cheng's heart, but now it still turned on her whenever it wanted.

Just as the old woman had warned her, the consequence of this backlash was that Lin Ruolin lost her mind and started running around the village like a madwoman.

And the first person affected by her actions was Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng suddenly coughed up blood and lost consciousness right in front of everyone.

This turn of events was unexpected by everyone in the crew. In an instant, people were calling for ambulances and contacting Gu Cheng's agent. In short, the whole village was busier than during the day, even late at night.

Just as the director was in a panic, Song Mengmeng and Hu Da returned to the village.

"His condition isn't just some ordinary physical problem." Song Mengmeng first glanced at Gu Cheng, who was lying in the room waiting for the ambulance to arrive, before turning to the director standing beside her and stating bluntly, "He's been cursed!"
