Cheng Xinyue
I have a wonderful family.
My parents and siblings have all been very good to me.
I also have an aunt who looks a lot like me, and she is very kind to me.
She was very gentle and proper, and my uncle was also very good to me.
I thought I would be happy like this forever.
Until I met a man at a palace banquet.
He was very handsome and gave off a very gentlemanly and noble feeling. He said he was Duke Alec and my uncle.
I was surprised. Although I had never seen my uncle's face under the mask, I was certain it wouldn't look like that.
It wasn't until my family was burned to death and I was imprisoned and tortured in the dungeon by him that I learned he was a mermaid named Raine.
His aunt and uncle had a perverse hobby of tormenting him.
They haven't come back to see me for a long time because he killed me.
But he had already taken his revenge, and my family and I had no connection with him whatsoever.
Why...why did he kill my whole family and then take his anger out on me?
He wanted me to experience the pain he had suffered because I look like my aunt.
But on what grounds?
I did nothing wrong, so why should I suffer like this?
My body is about to give out.
Originally, I thought I had to live, I had to kill him, but in the end, all I wanted was to die.
But whenever I was about to starve to death, someone would feed me, keeping me alive until my last breath.
When I have the strength to speak and ask for food, no one pays attention to me. Only when I am so hungry that I don't even have the strength to speak will someone bring me food.
One time, I felt so hungry I could hardly contain myself, and I begged the maid who brought me food, "I want... to eat more, I'm so hungry..."
She mechanically said, "Mu Tiantian's behavior analysis is in progress... Analyzing the surrounding environment, the data from task participant Mu Tiantian suggests that the most suitable solution at present is to secretly deliver food."
Later, she really did bring me a lot of food, which gave me the strength to continue.
I begged her to save me, and she said something I couldn't understand.
She saved me.
No one chased after them.
But I felt physically exhausted, and the wounds on my body opened up even more severely, bleeding profusely.
She wanted to save me; she went to find me food and medical supplies.
But I couldn't hold on.
When she came back, she only saw me unconscious.
Before I lost consciousness, I heard her say, "Body analysis...no signs of life."
After saying this, she left.
But I really, really want to live. I'm not reconciled. I clearly escaped, so why is this happening to me?
I don't know how much time passed, but my body was able to move again, though it was beyond my control.
I suddenly realized that my body was being possessed by another soul.
She told me she came from another world.
She asked me what my unfulfilled wish was, and I told her I wanted to kill Ryan.
I must see him die with my own eyes.
She promised me, and she did at first, but then she gave up.
She even developed a crush on Ryan.
She can no longer hear my voice, my pleas.
She thought I had disappeared, but in reality, I was trapped inside her body and unable to communicate.
I sometimes see her using my body to get close to Renn, to hug him. I hate it so much. I not only want to kill Renn, but I also want to kill her.
I've been holding on by sheer willpower.
Later, I noticed that her resolve was wavering, so I shouted, "Give me back my body!"
She seems to be able to hear.
However, it doesn't always work.
Until one day.
I can finally regain control of my body and see the outside world clearly.
I saw the woman who saved me.
However, she doesn't seem to remember, and I feel she's more...human than before.
She helped me again.
I killed Renn with my own hands, and in doing so, I destroyed my own body.
In a daze, it felt as if I had left my body.
When I arrived at the bottom of the sea, I saw Renn bleeding to death.
They died because of me.
I finally...
I got my revenge...
I don't know how much time passed.
I think I heard someone calling me.
"New moon, new moon?"
I opened my eyes and saw a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man crying in front of me.
When the woman saw that I was awake, she said excitedly, "Xinyue, thank goodness you're alright! You scared your mother to death. It was my fault for saying such harsh words."
"Mom?" I asked, puzzled. My parents had died long ago.
"New Moon, don't scare your dad, doctor!" the man shouted, calling for the doctor to come over.
I looked around, and it was completely different from where I lived.
After I got used to it, I realized that this was not my body, and the memories in my mind were also very vague.
But I know that the two people in front of me are the parents of this body.
Much later, I learned that the body belonged to that woman.
Her parents loved her very much because they treated me very well after I woke up. If my parents hadn't died, they would definitely have treated me the same way.
I wonder if that woman also survived inside my body; the stab I gave myself didn't seem fatal.
Oh well, maybe it's God taking pity on me and giving me a chance to live again.
I don't care whether that woman lives or dies; as long as Renn is dead, that's enough.
Let bygones be bygones.
I hope the woman who saved and helped me can live a good life in the other world. I can never repay her kindness, so I can only pray for her more in this world.
I think I should have a new life too...
