He's unconscious, and you're taking pity on him and letting him go this time? What kind of incredible thing is that?

My right thigh is flat, but I still have my left thigh.

Ji Xiaoxiao lifted her foot and coldly swept her eyes over the people around her. "You dog slaves, open your dog eyes and see clearly. If you disobey me, this is what will happen to you."

The foot landed lightly, and the man suddenly opened his eyes, letting out a painful scream. He clutched his left leg, but couldn't find a way to stop; he hugged his right leg, but couldn't find a way to stop either. Helpless, he could only roll around on the ground. Blood flowing from his leg soaked the yard.

"Now I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourselves. Stay outside the courtyard and don't let a single fly in. If any cats or dogs disturb me, hmph, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, make sure you have a coffin ready so your bodies don't end up exposed in the wilderness!" Ji Xiaoxiao turned and left, pushing open the door and lying down on the blackened, smelly bed.

Memories flooded back in an instant, and Ji Xiaoxiao silently gritted her teeth and accepted them.

The owner of this body is named Fu Qipan, the legitimate daughter of Fu Guanjie, the Minister of Justice of the current dynasty. She is twenty years old, beautiful as a flower, and unmarried.

Beautiful women have always had tragic fates; their lives are filled with hardships and setbacks.

Fu Qipan lost her mother at the age of three, and her father, Fu Guanjie, remarried to continue the family line. As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. After Fu Guanjie's second wife, Qiu Yihui, gave birth to a legitimate son, Fu Guanjie became increasingly indifferent to Fu Qipan, barely managing to feed her a bowl of porridge.

Before the age of five, Fu Qipan's life was relatively happy, as her mother died and her father did not love her. Fu Qipan's mother's family was the Grand Tutor of the Imperial Court, and their disciples were all over the country. Many influential people in the court had some connection with Fu Qipan's maternal grandfather.

Fu Qipan's maternal grandfather, heartbroken by her early loss of her mother and resentful of her father's cruelty, had her live with him for eleven out of the twelve months of the year. However, fate intervened. When Fu Qipan was five, the emperor, fearing her grandfather's power, found a pretext to have his entire family executed. Fu Qipan, being a daughter of the Fu family, managed to escape this fate and save her life.

Upon returning to the Fu family, Fu Qipan was met with cold treatment. The narrow-minded Madam Qiu couldn't bear to see her ex-husband's daughter frolicking happily in front of her. Frustrated and at a loss, Madam Qiu secretly ordered her men to take Fu Qipan into the deep mountains and forests.

After wandering aimlessly in the deep mountains and forests for several days, Fu Qipan was exhausted from hunger and cold, and her body and mind were nearly crushed. Fortunately, Fu Qipan was blessed by the heavens and accidentally entered a valley where she found a rare Tai Sui (a type of fungus), which she devoured with great hunger.

The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Tai Sui was no ordinary object. Fu Qipan swallowed it whole and gained internal strength as profound as a peerless master who had cultivated for hundreds of years. With such internal strength, no one in the world could compare to her. By sheer luck, Fu Qipan escaped the deep mountains and forests and eventually returned to the Fu family mansion in the capital.

Xiao Qiu didn't believe a five-year-old child could return unharmed from the deep mountains and forests. After making inquiries, she learned of Fu Qipan's extraordinary encounter. Fearing Fu Qipan's extremely powerful internal energy, Xiao Qiu sought another method, having someone raise Fu Qipan to be weak and incompetent. At twenty years old, Fu Qipan was someone anyone could easily trample on, whether cat or dog.

At the tender age of twenty, Fu Guanjie, seeing that the timid and weak Fu Qipan possessed a beautiful face and was somewhat useful, directly sent her in a red sedan chair to the residence of the cruel and ruthless Second Prince. Ten years passed in the vastness of life and death, a long enough time for the Second Prince to lose interest in Fu Qipan. Adhering to the new concept of environmental protection, believing that even waste could be reused, the Second Prince turned Fu Qipan into elixirs and presented them to his seventy or eighty-year-old enemy, the Emperor.

The allure of elixirs concocted by those who consume the "Ten Thousand Year Tai Sui" is immense. For those in power who are afraid of death, it is unimaginable and immeasurable.

Fu Qipan was bullied her entire life, sold like livestock, passed from hand to hand with all sorts of people. She was burned at the stake before her death, suffering unbearable agony. She had never committed any evil deeds, yet she died a mutilated death. Even without knowing a single move, her profound inner strength made her the number one martial arts master in the world, yet she died such a pathetic death. Fu Qipan was unwilling; she was utterly resentful.

Fu Qipan's wish was simple: she wanted revenge, she wanted to act recklessly, and she would stop pretending to be virtuous and kind, letting others have all the good things about being gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest. Those who owed her would be made to pay back, and those who had wronged her would be punished a hundredfold or a thousandfold.

Ji Xiaoxiao exhaled a breath of stale air, closed her eyes tightly, and continued to lie on the bed. Her stomach rumbled impatiently, but Ji Xiaoxiao twitched her lips and calmly climbed out of bed.

The sun has set, and the colorful sunset is breathtaking.

As Ji Xiaoxiao stepped out of the courtyard, she saw servants who were terrified of her. Their faces were filled with fear, and they were tightly holding a girl dressed in a cloud-patterned purple dress and wearing a gold hairpin. The girl had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, so she could not move or make a sound.

"Our noble and extraordinary Third Miss, how dare you condescend to visit my desolate courtyard?" Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and the servants quickly let go of her hand.

The third young lady, named Fu Zhongyan, was Fu Guanjie's favored illegitimate daughter. She was the third child in the family and was known as the Third Young Lady. Fu Zhongyan was arrogant and domineering, and her favorite pastime was to "play" with the original owner of this body whenever she felt like it. After these games, the original owner was always covered in bruises.

The original owner had been bullied by Fu Zhongyan for quite some time, and since the person involved had walked right into the trap, Ji Xiaoxiao now had someone to target if she wanted to act recklessly.

"Pah, you little slut, how dare you treat me like this? Do you want to die?" Fu Zhongyan was as arrogant as ever, oblivious to the reality of the situation.

"Someone, go and seize Fu Qipan for me. I need to beat her up and vent my anger." Fu Zhongyan brought two maids with her, leaving the heavy and tiring work to them.

The servants in the manor were all adept at reading people's expressions and getting by. Fu Zhongyan's maid vaguely sensed that Ji Xiaoxiao was different. Fearing Fu Zhongyan's methods of punishment, the maid stepped forward with a heavy heart. Ji Xiaoxiao neither flinched nor dodged, leaving the maid to deal with her as she saw fit.
