Kyoto.
This ancient and solemn city has witnessed the rise and fall of countless families.
The Wang family was once one of the most powerful families in this land, but now they have fallen from grace. However, this does not mean the end of the story; on the contrary, it is only a new beginning.
With the Wang family's downfall, the other three major families quickly began to divide and compete for the Wang family's power.
This power struggle was like a breathtaking storm, engulfing the entire capital of Kyoto.
At the same time, the Xie family, represented by their long history in medicine, became the focus of everyone's attention.
The Xie family has always been a leader in the medical field, with a profound heritage and outstanding medical skills. Especially in traditional Chinese medicine, their ancestors even served as imperial physicians, possessing extremely high levels of expertise and enjoying the favor of the upper class.
Many people began to have a positive outlook on the Xie family, believing that they had the potential to replace the Wang family and become the new third largest family.
In this turbulent era, can the Xie family seize the opportunity and achieve a remarkable transformation? Everything remains to be seen.
Garden villas on the outskirts of Beijing, though geographically remote, boast a beautiful environment and are a favorite hiding place for many successful men to keep their mistresses.
"Smack!"
A loud slap rang out on the second floor of a villa.
"You bitch! Don't think you're the young mistress of the Yan family just because you're pregnant with Hongjin's child!"
The woman who was beaten kept her head down, neither speaking nor arguing, but simply supporting her pregnant belly with one hand and gripping the second-floor railing tightly with the other.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose to remain silent.
The woman who hit the man was named Xie Yimo, and she was nominally the fiancée of Yan Hongjing, the eldest son of the Yan family.
The woman who was beaten was Jiang Wanwan's cousin, Jiang Xiaoxue.
When Jiang Xiaoxue learned that her parents were going to marry her off to her best friend's enemy, she decided to avenge her friend.
So, she mustered up her courage and went to the town's bar to drown her sorrows, and then took the opportunity to force herself on Yan Hongjing, the man she had admired since childhood.
The next day, she fled in a panic, forgetting to take emergency contraceptive measures.
After she successfully took her revenge, she went to Kyoto to find the father of her child.
When Yan Hongjing learned of this news, he promised to marry her and cherish the relationship.
Hearing Yan Hongjing's sincere words, Jiang Xiaoxue felt very moved and reassured, so she gladly accepted Yan Hongjing's promise.
In the days that followed, Yan Hongjing and Jiang Xiaoxue enjoyed a very sweet time together.
They strolled together along the park paths, enjoying the gentle breeze; they sampled various delicacies together, sharing their joy; they watched movies, went shopping, and traveled together, experiencing many wonderful moments together.
During this time, their feelings for each other deepened, and they seemed to have become a real couple.
However, this happy period didn't last long. After learning about Jiang Xiaoxue's existence, the self-righteous Xie Yimo was filled with jealousy and resentment.
She believed that she was Yan Hongjing's fiancée, and that Jiang Xiaoxue was just a third party.
So she started coming here frequently to cause trouble for Jiang Xiaoxue. Whenever she saw Jiang Xiaoxue, Xie Yimo would verbally abuse her and even shove her.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Xiaoxue felt both wronged and helpless. Yan Hongjing had told her that Xie Yimo was his childhood friend and that she should take good care of her.
At this moment, Xie Yimo revealed a ferocious smile on her face, her eyes flashing with anger.
She stared intently at Jiang Xiaoxue's stomach, a malicious glint in her eyes, then gritted her teeth and said:
"Let me tell you, I am Yan Hongjin's rightful wife. He only loves me. You are nothing but his plaything."
After saying that, she took advantage of Jiang Xiaoxue's inattention and pushed her hard down the stairs from the second floor.
This was the fourth time she had pushed Jiang Xiaoxue. The previous three times, a golden light had always protected her, keeping her safe and sound.
Ha! Today she finally succeeded in taking this woman down. Watching Jiang Xiaoxue lie in a pool of blood and wail, she walked down the stairs expressionlessly, then walked past her until her figure disappeared.
Despite the pain, Jiang Xiaoxue moved her body little by little until she finally reached for her phone on the coffee table.
Beep beep...
"Hey! Xiaoxue! Yimo just called to say she fell and went to the hospital, so I have to go now!"
The phone call ended, as if the thread of love in my heart had also snapped. My heart ached to the point of numbness, and my whole body felt ice-cold. Was she going to die?
Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on her belly—it was her baby. She had to live.
She gritted her teeth and used her last bit of strength to dial the number of the person most likely to save her child.
Beep...beep...beep...
The phone rang incessantly, each second feeling incredibly long. Finally, a familiar and warm voice came from the other end.
"Xiaoxue?" The gentle voice brushed past my ear like a spring breeze.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxue was so weak that she seemed about to disappear at any moment, like a wounded kitten, uttering a faint cry for help: "Sister, save me! Kyoto Garden Villa 12-1103..."
Before she could finish speaking, everything went black, and she lost consciousness completely. In the last moments before she fell into a coma, she was still worried about whether her sister had heard the address she had given.
C City Airport.
Since the inner disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect would be accompanying her throughout her trip to Kyoto, Jiang Wanwan decided to travel by plane with them.
However, just as she was about to board the plane, she suddenly received an urgent request for help from Jiang Xiaoxue.
Without delay, Jiang Wanwan quickly greeted Yan Ziyan, then took out the Han Guang Sword without hesitation, stepped onto the flying sword, and soared into the air, speeding towards the capital.
In no time at all, she had arrived at the garden villa in Kyoto.
As soon as the door was broken open and the room was entered, a strong stench of blood hit the person in the face.
What came into view was Jiang Xiaoxue curled up, lying quietly in a pool of blood, lifeless.
Jiang Wanwan was shocked and rushed forward to check on her, only to find that she was breathing weakly, bleeding heavily from her lower body, and the fetus in her womb was also in bad condition.
Jiang Wanwan quickly took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill from her spatial storage and fed it to her, which stabilized her breathing slightly and gave her a glimmer of life.
Then, she used wood-based spiritual power to gently soothe Jiang Xiaoxue's body, and tried to stop the bleeding and repair her damaged body.
Time passed by, and soon Jiang Xiaoxue woke up from her coma.
When she saw Jiang Wanwan, a glimmer of clarity flashed in her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes as she softly called out, "Sister!"
Jiang Wanwan felt heartbroken looking at Jiang Xiaoxue, but she knew this was not the time to be sentimental.
She took a clean blanket from her spatial storage and placed her on it while holding her.
