Ever since her last plot was exposed, Jiang Yao's jealousy and resentment had grown like wild weeds, nearly devouring her sanity. When she learned that Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen had chosen that mountain resort as their vacation destination, a sinister thought quickly took shape. Without hesitation, she packed her bags and, like a ghost in the darkness, quietly followed them to the tranquil mountainous region.
Arriving at the resort, Jiang Yao didn't rush into action. She first found a secluded spot not far from Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's cabin. This spot allowed her to closely monitor their every move without being easily discovered. Through the dense trees and bushes, she gazed at their cabin from afar, her eyes gleaming with a complex mixture of jealousy, resentment, and a hint of an indescribable madness.
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the forested mountains, Jiang Yao would hide in the shadows, watching Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen walk hand in hand from their cabin. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, a smile like the most dazzling light, deeply piercing Jiang Yao's heart. She watched Shen Qingchen gently brush the dew from Jiang Zhi's hair, and watched them cuddle together, admiring the beautiful mountain scenery. Every intimate gesture was like a sharp sword, piercing Jiang Yao's heart.
Once, Jiang Yao saw them playing by the stream. Shen Qingchen gently scooped up a handful of stream water and sprinkled it on Jiang Zhi, who dodged it with a laugh, her clear laughter echoing through the valley. Jiang Yao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. Her body trembled slightly, and the fire of jealousy burned in her heart. She gritted her teeth and thought, "Why is she the one who is so happy? Why did Shen Qingchen give all his tenderness to her? What is it about me that I can't compare to her?"
As time went by, Jiang Yao's jealousy grew stronger, and her rationality gradually eroded. She began to tossing and turning at night, her mind constantly replaying images of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's happiness, which tormented her like a demon. She knew she couldn't sit still and wait for death. She had to do something to destroy their happiness. So, she began to look for opportunities to cause trouble at the resort.
While Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen were out exploring the mountains, Jiang Yao snuck in behind them, searching for a suitable spot to strike. She followed them through dense forests, across clear streams, and up steep slopes. Like a shadow lurking in the darkness, she maintained a distance from them, keeping them undetected while still keeping a close eye on them.
During the stalking process, Jiang Yao's heart was constantly struggling. She knew her actions were immoral, even illegal, but the jealousy in her heart had made her lose her common sense. She kept making excuses for herself, telling herself that it was all because she loved Shen Qingchen too much and was willing to pay any price to get Shen Qingchen back. However, this so-called "love" had been twisted beyond recognition by jealousy, turning into a terrifying possessiveness.
Finally, in a relatively secluded area of the woods, Jiang Yao discovered a path often used by Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. The path was thickly wooded, its ground covered with fallen leaves, a perfect spot for a trap. A sinister glint flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes, and she decided to strike right there. She thought to herself, "This time, I'm going to make you feel the pain."
However, Jiang Yao was conflicted as she set the trap. On the one hand, jealousy drove her to harm Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, while on the other, she feared the consequences of her plan being exposed. Her hands trembled constantly, and she nearly abandoned her crazy plan several times. However, every time she thought of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's happy appearance, jealousy would take over again, driving her to continue setting the trap.
After Jiang Yao finished setting the trap, she hid in the bushes nearby, quietly awaiting the arrival of Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. Her heart was beating fast, a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She didn't know if her plan would succeed, but her jealousy had overwhelmed her, completely disregarding the consequences. She stared in the direction of the trap, her eyes filled with anticipation and madness, as if she were waiting for an impending disaster, the victims of which would be the very objects of her jealousy—Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen.
