☆, Chapter 1: Struck by Lightning!
Jiang Ran is dead.
To be precise, while observing the stars at night, a thunderclap suddenly struck from a clear sky.
Then, he was successfully struck down and killed on the mountaintop.
Her mind went completely black, and then she felt as if someone was pulling her out of the water.
"Cough cough cough—"
"Jiang Ran, you're finally awake!"
A woman screamed, a sound that seemed to pierce one's eardrums.
Jiang Ran belatedly opened her eyes, and the sight of a heavily made-up woman made her frown.
But those bright red lips continued to chatter on and on:
"I told you we couldn't go easy on those two brats! Si Youlin, that little bastard, is going to get you killed! You have to give him a good beating!"
this?
Jiang Ran was completely bewildered. As she pondered, a large chunk of memories that didn't belong to her flooded her mind.
She...time traveled?
Just like in those popular novels, his soul transmigrated into the body of a woman with the same name.
She even accidentally gave birth to twins for the male protagonist of the manor.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin.
The original owner treated the two children extremely badly, even to the point of abusing them.
Just now, while the original owner was taking a walk by the lake, he was pushed into the water by Si Youlin, the younger of the twins.
The woman cursing and swearing in front of him was none other than the original owner's "best friend," Song Yuqing.
So, what kind of melodramatic plot is this?
Jiang Ran sighed, realizing that it must have been her angry gesture of giving the middle finger when she couldn't see the celestial phenomena that led to her not only being struck by lightning but also encountering such a ridiculous plot.
Just as she was pondering this, Song Yuqing angrily dragged over a five or six-year-old child.
"Don't run! How dare you push Jiang Ran into the water! You're asking for death!"
The little boy, whose ears were being pulled, winced in pain and, while struggling, didn't forget to kick Song Yuqing's shin hard.
Ouch!
Song Yuqing staggered in pain, and in a fit of rage, she raised her hand to slap him hard.
Si Youlin trembled all over, and instinctively closed his eyes in fear.
But the expected pain didn't come the next second. He opened his eyes and saw a scene that left him speechless.
Jiang Ran was soaking wet, but she was holding onto Song Yuqing's wrist.
"Jiang Ran, what are you doing?" Song Yuqing was furious, her eyes full of confusion. "This little brat kicked me!"
"He is my son."
Jiang Ran spoke in a hoarse voice, forcing out two coughs before saying in a deep voice, "I'll handle any problems that arise."
A single sentence, however, struck like a thunderbolt, leaving Si Youlin frozen in place.
This woman... actually said he was her son?
Didn't she always feel that she was a disgrace?
Song Yuqing was also taken aback and greatly surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she still snorted and said, "Jiang Ran, you can't go easy on me!"
One sentence brought Si Youlin back to reality.
Yes, each time it only results in a more brutal beating!
Jiang Ran sighed, turning to look at the exquisitely beautiful child, only to be surprised to find that he was unbelievably handsome, with bright, kind eyes, resembling the auspicious boy from the temple, even—
She squinted; a faint blue light was emanating from the child, like a layer of mist enveloping him.
This is... dragon energy!
Good heavens, did the original owner give birth to a dragon prince?
Jiang Ran was taken aback. She had been cultivating on the mountain and had seen countless different kinds of destinies, but this was the first time she had seen a dragon aura destiny.
This is Jinling, how could it be confined to a small pond?
However, this child is still young. If given time and proper training, he may soar like a dragon in the sky, unstoppable!
Such a destiny has been constantly abused, and it is so weak that the dragon energy can hardly be seen.
Jiang Ran was secretly alarmed. If she continued to let this child turn evil, she feared that the dragon would become so wicked that she would die without a burial place sooner or later!
After some thought, Jiang Ran calmed herself down and said calmly, "Okay, you can go first."
Song Yuqing was finally satisfied after hearing this, but before leaving, she didn't forget to curse viciously: "Just wait to be beaten to death!"
Si Youlin shuddered, a deep sense of disgust and fear rising in his eyes.
That's interesting.
Jiang Ran tilted her head, her tone cold: "Did you push me into the water?"
The little girl clenched her teeth, her dark, sandalwood-like eyes fixed on Jiang Ran, then turned her head away in disgust.
"It's me."
Two words: resolute and decisive.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and took the towel offered by the maid. "Reason?"
Although she knew that the original owner had been abusing her two children, she never expected that the children would develop murderous intent at such a young age.
If they aren't properly disciplined, they might grow up to be murderers and arsonists.
Moreover, the Si family of Nancheng is not without the power to do so.
Si Youlin frowned, turned to look at Jiang Ran, seemingly surprised that she hadn't hit him. He snorted coldly before speaking in a muffled voice:
"I'd love for you to die, what reason do I need?"
Jiang Ran was stung by the sharp words. She paused, then chuckled.
Si Youlin was taken aback and asked incredulously, "What are you laughing at?"
This vicious woman usually beats and scolds him and his brother, and always humiliates or mocks them. What's going on today?
"Why can't I laugh?" Jiang Ran stretched out her slender fingers and pinched them together with extreme elegance. "You want me to die? Do you know how tough my life is?"
This ability to predict the future—simply by reciting the birth chart—can reveal that the original owner had a very strong birth chart, which was considered unlucky for her husbands, and was an extremely ruthless and cunning person.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it's amazing that a large and successful family like the Si family could tolerate such a troublesome woman having children.
Jiang Ran laughed heartily, her slender fingers pinching the delicately sculpted figure opposite her. She leaned closer, a smirk playing on her lips. "Kid, your mother's got a tough life. You think you can take me on?"
Ah, Little Dragon Man.
She has a perfect grasp of the character's demeanor.
Si Youlin was taken aback, then angrily slapped the woman's hand away, shouting, "Tough luck? Then I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
The childish voice was filled with ruthlessness, which startled Jiang Ran. She subconsciously grabbed the little guy who was trying to escape and locked his wrist.
"Hey, kid—"
"Hiss, let go!"
A pained gasp rang out, and Si Youlin's instinctive struggle startled Jiang Ran.
pain?
She frowned and pulled the person over, but before she could roll up her sleeves, her hand stopped.
Her fair skin was covered with crisscrossing marks, clearly from being whipped.
"How could you..."
"Let go!"
Si Youlin abruptly shook off her hand, hastily pulled down his sleeve, and glared angrily.
"Fight if you want, or get lost!"
Jiang Ran: ? ? ?
I really want to draw a talisman and teach him a lesson!
But the next second, her gaze fell on the bruises on his neck.
That was clearly left from being choked.
Jiang Ran was taken aback and unconsciously withdrew her hand.
Despite being a complete stranger, she felt a pang of sympathy the moment she saw the scars.
How ruthless must someone be to commit such a deadly act?
Thinking about what the original owner had done, Jiang Ran sighed.
commit a sin.
"Never mind, you can go."
