Chapter 105
Seeing the girl so grief-stricken she was almost fainting, Huo Jingzhou frowned, stepped forward to help her up, and wiped away her tears with a stern face.
But the scalding tears fell uncontrollably, like pearls from a broken string, each one landing in his palm.
Huo Jingzhou pursed his thin lips and awkwardly comforted someone, "Don't cry, I'll avenge you."
"Miss, the master has passed away. Please accept my condolences. He was most worried about you. Please take good care of yourself!"
Fearing that her young mistress would harm her health from excessive grief, the wet nurse wiped away her tears and sobbed as she comforted her.
Wen Xin gripped her father's blood-soaked hand tightly, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed in anguish.
"Father, Father..."
"Wen Xin!"
"Miss!"
The girl, already terrified, finally collapsed in Huo Jingzhou's arms, unable to bear the pain of losing her loved one.
...
Wen Xin didn't know if it was because of the female protagonist in the abusive novel, or something else, but she never seemed to have any close relatives.
If she had arrived in this world an hour or two earlier, she could have saved her father...
However, there are no "ifs".
This little world cannot withstand another reversal of time.
"The Shackles of the Republic of China: Qingfeng's Deep Affection Is Not For Her" is a tragic love story that evolved from this small time period.
Just by looking at the title, you can tell it's a youth-angst literature set in the Republican era.
The female protagonist, Wen Xin, was originally the daughter of the richest man in Biancheng. She was a well-bred young lady raised by a prominent family, and she was knowledgeable, reasonable, and virtuous.
But she happened to live in the Republican era, a time of transition between the old and the new, when everyone was pursuing freedom and liberation.
There is also the male protagonist, who studied abroad, has "progressive" ideas, and despises everything from the old era, including his fiancé, who is also his fiancée.
When Wen Xin turned eighteen, it seemed that her good luck had run out.
That year, Biancheng was massacred by the Ghost Army, the Wen family was slaughtered, her father died, leaving her all alone in the world.
Wen Xin endured her grief and left her hometown to go to Haicheng to stay with her fiancé.
However, fate was not on her side. She discovered that her fiancé disliked her, didn't take her seriously, and had no intention of marrying her.
His mother, Huo's second concubine, was all sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside. She only coveted the vast wealth left by the Wen family and actually looked down on her. Behind her back, she would always belittle and torment her in various ways.
In Haicheng, among the entire Huo family, only Marshal Huo and Young Marshal Huo treated her like a human being.
Driven by the plot of fate, Wen Xin lost her reason and dignity. Even though she was tormented and made things difficult, she was still determined to marry her fiancé. No matter how hard Huo Shaoshuai tried to persuade her, she insisted on marrying Huo Jingfeng.
During one of Huo Shaoshuai's campaigns, Huo Jingfeng was forced by Huo Dashuai to marry Wen Xin.
However, after marriage, Huo Jingfeng frequently subjected Wen Xin to emotional abuse and was entangled with several female confidantes, making her the laughingstock of the entire Haicheng.
What made it even harder for Wen Xin to accept was that one of Huo Jingfeng's close female friends was Wen Xin's cousin, Tao Ran. Her mother was Wen's father's half-sister. She married into Haicheng in her early years, but her husband died early, so she took her daughter to live in Country A.
Tao Ran received an overseas education from a young age, dresses fashionably, and speaks fluent English.
To everyone else, she was an advanced educated youth, and she and Huo Jingfeng, who also had foreign liberal and progressive ideas, were a match made in heaven.
Wen Xin is a vicious, feudal first wife who obstructs lovers. She has done nothing wrong, yet she seems to be burdened with original sin, and everyone harbors resentment and malice towards her.
At a banquet held by the Huo family, Huo Jingfeng abandoned his rightful wife in public and danced with Tao Ran. Even when the two fell into the water, he saved Tao Ran, completely disregarding the life or death of his wife.
Wen Xin was pushed into the water by Tao Ran, and as a result, she lost the child in her womb.
But Huo Jingfeng still protected Tao Ran tightly, preventing Huo Dashuai and Huo Shaoshuai from punishing her, saying that Wen Xin was useless and did not realize she was pregnant, which is why she lost her child.
Besides, how can an unborn child compare to Tao Ran's vibrant life?
Wen Xin was completely heartbroken and divorced Huo Jingfeng. After recovering, she went to the front line with Huo Jingfeng.
There she witnessed the cruelty of war once again. Not wanting to be a burden, she studied medical knowledge diligently and became a nurse, helping to treat the wounded.
As for Huo Jingfeng, after Wen Xin's divorce, he started to act like a fool, gradually realizing how good she was to him, and he was unwilling to let his wife, who had always been so devoted to him, run off with his older brother.
Huo Jingfeng chased after Wen Xin all the way to the front lines, wanting to bring her back.
Constrained by the plot of fate, Wen Xin, who originally did not want to pay attention to her ex-husband, always found herself entangled with him, ignoring Huo Shaoshuai's repeated dissuasion and the sadness and pain in his eyes.
However, just after Wen Xin agreed to get back together with him, she discovered that the trashy male lead was actually a spy from an enemy country who had kidnapped her and was trying to force Huo Shaoshuai to submit.
It turns out that Huo Jingfeng had been captured by the Ghost Army before he came to the front line.
Unable to withstand the torture, he succumbed to the Ghost Army and became their spy, all in order to help them eliminate Huo Jingzhou, their greatest threat.
The original plot was that Huo Jingfeng successfully killed Huo Jingzhou, and Wen Xin hated him to the extreme. The two then began a series of torturous and passionate love stories. In the end, Huo Jingfeng became a double agent and made contributions to the great defeat of the Ghost Army, becoming a hero. The two had a happy ending!
But Wen Xin, who was kidnapped by Huo Jingfeng in her previous life, was heartbroken. She could not bear to see Huo Jingzhou, her true hero, die because of her, and she could not accept that her "beloved" would become a spy for the Ghost Army that killed her father.
In despair, Wen Xin momentarily broke free from the control of the Heavenly Mandate and, taking advantage of Huo Jingfeng's inattention, jumped off the city wall to end her own life...
Before the story was finished, the female lead suddenly disappeared, plunging this small space-time into the brink of collapse. The only solution was to reverse time.
However, each time-space reversal causes enormous damage to the smaller timeline and the female protagonist.
The female protagonist's halo was so weak that it couldn't withstand the slightest setback. Sure enough, she knocked herself off her head and disappeared.
Wen Xin's main soul had no choice but to take her place as the female lead in time, lest the small space-time really collapse.
However, to be honest, Wen Xin was disgusted by the original Heavenly Dao storyline.
Does Huo Jingfeng, that cowardly lackey of the Ghost Army, deserve to be the male lead? A hero, indeed?
Damn it, the hero said he had never been so humiliated!
It's no wonder that her soul fragments desperately didn't want to continue the storyline.
Even if she ate her own brain, she would never have a happy ending with that disgusting guy Huo Jingfeng!
Otherwise, Wen Xin believed that when the Heavenly Dao storyline came to an end, the fragments of the soul that regained their rationality would definitely transform into demons instantly and cause world-destroying destruction!
Damn it, she's disgusting!
The male lead! Huo Jingfeng! Die!
Progressive youths who have received elite education from across the ocean are taught by Country A how to be unfaithful to their wives, have affairs with women, protect their mistresses while acting like Casanovas, betray their country and nation, become heartless traitors and lackeys, and cause the death of their own meritorious elder brother.
That's bullshit!
It's nothing but a fig leaf to cover up his despicable, selfish, shameless, and unrighteous behavior!
