Nestled deep in the lush forests of southern China lies a small village. The buildings are stilted houses made primarily of bamboo, and one can smell the delicate fragrance of bamboo as soon as one gets close.
Several hens wandered back and forth inside the green fence, searching for food. Dewdrops lingered on the bamboo branches, and the smell of earth filled the air.
A man dressed in earth-colored Miao clothing carefully carried his suitcase as he tiptoed out of the bamboo house, glancing back at the doorway every now and then, as if afraid that someone might appear there.
Fortunately, even after the man disappeared from sight, there was still no movement at the entrance of the pearl, nor was there the figure he feared.
Once Tian Yingjie confirmed that he was some distance from the bamboo house, he immediately dragged his suitcase and ran as fast as he could, tearing off the white headband from his head and throwing it to the ground in disgust.
At this moment, Tian Yingjie was overjoyed, with only one thought in his mind: I finally don't have to stay in this godforsaken place anymore.
Although the Miao girl was beautiful and obedient, and easy to coax, she was undoubtedly a burden to a man who could flirt with countless women without getting attached to her.
Besides, he's a married man, and his relationship with that Miao girl was just a fling. How could he possibly spend the rest of his life with her in this Miao village? Tian Yingjie isn't a fool to give up an entire forest for a single tree.
Even if he were willing, his wife probably wouldn't. Thinking of his fierce and powerful wife with a distinguished background, Tian Yingjie ran even faster. He had been missing for three months, and his wife was probably already furious. Who knows what she would do then.
Tian Yingjie moved with incredible speed, using the route he gleaned from the Miao woman to quickly escape the Miao village, leaving the deep mountains and forests behind, and returning to the dazzling nightlife he had always dreamed of.
As for the poor Miao girl who was pregnant and abandoned by him, he had long since forgotten about her and thrown her to the back of his mind.
Unbeknownst to Tian Yingjie, not long after he left the bamboo hut, a woman wearing a white top and simple jeans stood at the door of the bamboo house, her gaze distant and profound, as if she had traversed the distance of time and space to see the man who had fled in panic.
"Tsk... How heartless and ungrateful!" The woman's voice was clear and melodious, but with a hint of awkwardness and an ambiguous tone.
Wuyou touched his flat stomach, where a new life was growing. This was his mission objective. The original owner of the body was named Shi Wuyou, a native Miao woman. Her parents had died, and only her grandmother raised her, passing on her Gu techniques to her. However, Shi Wuyou was not very talented and only learned some basics, knowing how to practice some simple Gu worms.
Aside from knowing some Gu magic, Shi Wuyou was no different from any other ordinary girl. The turning point in Shi Wuyou's life began with Tian Yingjie. While gathering herbs in the jungle, he accidentally discovered the injured and unconscious Tian Yingjie and took him home.
Tian Yingjie was a playboy with a knack for seducing women. A naive and innocent girl like Shi Wuyou was captivated by him within half a month and offered herself to him. Tian Yingjie concealed his marital status and ran away in the third month after his recovery.
Shi Wuyou had no suspicion of him at all and told Tian Yingjie everything that happened near the Miao village. As a result, the other party escaped very smoothly. When she woke up, her man was missing. Such an experience was too cruel for a woman.
Shi Wuyou naively believed that Tian Yingjie would return, but after she gave birth to a son in her tenth month of pregnancy, Tian Yingjie was still nowhere to be found. He finally gave up hope.
The Miao village, isolated from news, still maintains its ancient traditions. Naturally, the treatment of a woman like Shi Wuyou, who became pregnant out of wedlock, is extremely harsh. Not to mention the perverse custom of drowning her in a pig cage, the rumors alone are enough to crush a fragile woman.
Whether out of love or affection for her child, Shi Wuyou hoped that Tian Yingjie could come back, give her son a happy family, and a blissful marriage.
Therefore, Shi Wuyou left the Miao village alone with her child. After going through many hardships, she finally found Tian Yingjie, but he had already forgotten about the Miao girl and had his bodyguards drive the mother and child out.
Shi Wuyou finally gave up. Looking at his son in swaddling clothes, he frightened Tian Yingjie with the love potion he had prepared and took his husband and son back to the Miao village.
For three years, Shi Wuyou believed her life was perfect. She had a gentle and obedient husband and a well-behaved son. Apart from the occasional visit from Tian Yingjie's wife who came to cause trouble and try to rescue Tian Yingjie, everything was perfect.
On his son's third birthday, Tian Yingjie's wife, Ma Wenzhu, arrived with a group of masters to rescue him. Shi Wuyou was no match for the Gu worms and was devoured by them; her soul and even her body became nourishment for the worms. Her son, Shi Yunshen, watched helplessly as his mother's soul dissipated before his eyes.
This scene became the deepest nightmare of Shi Yunshen's life. He devoted himself to resurrecting his mother and taking revenge on his father. He turned himself into a human gu, his hands stained with blood, and he used every means possible.
Unfortunately, he couldn't silence the public outcry on his own, and he was no match for overwhelming odds. In the end, he suffered the same fate as his mother.
The most important person in Shi Wuyou's life was his son, Shi Yunshen. How could he be at peace knowing that his son had met such an end? His remnant soul coalesced into a huge obsession, which attracted the system, allowing Wuyou to be reborn.
When Wuyou woke up, she was fast asleep. The pillow beside her was already cold. Looking at the few clothes that were gone, she knew that today was the day Tian Yingjie would run away.
The false, blissful marriage was unnecessary, and she didn't want her child to be poisoned by Tian Yingjie, causing him to harm her son. So she pretended not to know and released the person.
The saying goes, "A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years," and there will be plenty of opportunities for those who want to deal with Tian Yingjie.
Time flies, and everyone in this small Miao village knows about everything that happens. Tian Yingjie left quietly, but as time goes by, it's hard to hide Wuyou's belly, and inevitably someone will notice.
Gossip gradually increased. Wuyou was already over six months pregnant, and her belly was growing bigger. The feeling of life growing inside her was always incredibly magical. Wuyou cherished this child dearly and took great care of herself every day to give her child the best possible health.
A woman abandoned by her lover always evokes pity and ridicule, especially since the two were not officially married. Tian Yingjie had planned this all along, so naturally he wouldn't marry a Miao woman. Sometimes, comments can become the sharpest blades, leaving people scarred and wounded.
To avoid being bothered by rumors, the only way is to nip it in the bud. After raising the child for a few days, Wuyou carried a bamboo basket up the mountain; she needed to find a "father" for the child.
