Yi Family Manor.
"What kind of fortune teller is he? He's just making a big fuss. He even says that wronged spirits are seeking revenge. What? Does he want to blame me for the deaths of that short-lived mother and daughter? They were just unlucky enough to die!"
What's the use of a woman who can't even keep her own man, no matter how independent and strong she is? She simply doesn't understand that men need admiration. If she forcefully outshines her husband, how can Yi Hai, with his pride, possibly tolerate it?
Back then, Liu Ruyi easily won over Yi Hai by relying on her looks and feigned weakness.
"As for that little bitch Yi Tianran, she even dared to try and fight with my daughter for the family fortune. Bah! She should have died long ago! Good riddance, a wonderful death!"
Liu Ruyi smiled broadly when she recalled the car accident reported in the news years ago.
With Yi Tianran dead, her last worry was completely gone.
"Madam, please keep your voice down, or there will be too many people talking," Brother Zhu reminded her in a low voice.
"What? Now the entire Yi family is filled with my people, what am I afraid of?" Liu Ruyi sneered smugly: "Apart from that old geezer in the old house, who in the Yi family would stand up for those two short-lived ghosts?"
She got tired as she talked, yawned, and went upstairs to sleep.
That night, while Liu Ruyi was half asleep, she felt dark ghostly figures floating around her.
Startled, she clutched the blanket tightly and instinctively pushed her husband beside her, trying to call for his help.
The moment she turned her head, she saw a skull giving her a creepy smile.
Liu Ruyi's breath caught in her throat, her eyes widened in horror, and her heart stopped.
She watched helplessly as tears streamed continuously from the skull's sunken eye sockets.
"Give me back my life..." The skeleton's hands gripped her neck, tightening their grip little by little. "Give me back my life!"
"Uh—" Liu Ruyi shook her head and struggled desperately, but she could not get rid of it. She felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe.
No!
She didn't want to die!
She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and there was so much wealth and luxury waiting for her to enjoy; she absolutely couldn't die in a place like this.
Thinking of this, her cheeks turned blue and purple, and she finally broke free of the restraint with all her might.
She choked so badly she nearly died, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Just when she thought she had survived the ordeal, the scene before her changed, and she found herself on the edge of a bottomless abyss.
Before she could even steady herself, a strange, shrill voice rang out behind her: "Die!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was forcefully pushed into the abyss.
"Ahhhhhh—" Liu Ruyi closed her eyes tightly, waved her hands wildly, and screamed incessantly, like a madwoman.
"Wake up, wake up right now..." A sharp "slap" sounded on his face.
Liu Ruyi reflexively slapped him back.
A deathly silence fell over the air for a moment.
Her heart pounded wildly, and she was covered in cold sweat.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw Yi Hai staring at her with bloodshot eyes and a face full of rage. His gaze was so fierce that it seemed he wanted to tear her to pieces.
"Husband?" Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment before she could see the slap mark on her husband's face, the bloodstains from his fingernails, and the purplish marks on his neck.
"What...what's going on?" She was startled and instinctively reached out to touch him.
But Yi Hai slapped her away, his face contorted with rage as he roared, "You shrew, how dare you ask me that! You always look so gentle and elegant, but I never expected you to be so strong in my dream. Are you trying to murder me?"
Liu Ruyi was completely stunned by the shouting. "Husband, I...I didn't! I love you so much, how could I hurt you? I was just having a nightmare."
"I almost got strangled to death by you!" Yi Hai was still a little scared when he thought about what had just happened.
He was almost asleep when a hand suddenly reached up and touched his neck.
He thought Liu Ruyi couldn't bear the loneliness and was about to refuse when this crazy woman suddenly grabbed his neck tightly, with such force that it was as if she were dealing with her father's killer.
As a man, Yi Hai was almost strangled to death by her strength.
Thinking of this, he angrily slapped her again, "You bitch! Have you been harboring resentment towards me all along, planning to use a nightmare as an excuse to murder your husband, then inherit my wealth and live a carefree life!"
The slap was filled with hatred, and it made her roll off the bed.
Liu Ruyi was truly in tears this time, feeling as if she had suffered an undeserved calamity.
She suppressed her humiliation and rushed over to hug her husband's leg, pleading, "I really didn't mean it, husband, please believe me..."
This time, however, Yi Hai kicked her away and said with a dark face, "Whether you did it on purpose or not, from today onwards we will sleep in separate rooms. I don't want to be sleeping too soundly one day and be murdered by you in my dreams!"
After saying that, he turned and left, disgusted and unwilling to look at her again.
A surge of intense panic welled up in Liu Ruyi's heart.
When a couple sleeps in separate rooms, that's the first step in a relationship problem!
Back then, she used her seductive bedroom skills to make Yi Hai fall head over heels for her, and he even separated from his first wife for her sake.
The current situation seems to be a cycle of cause and effect, a reversal of fortune.
A chill ran down her spine, making her shiver and hug herself tightly.
Could it be... a vengeful spirit coming to seek revenge? What will happen to her then? Will she die?
Liu Ruyi was both scared and regretful, so the next day she went directly to the fortune teller.
But the fortune-telling stall had disappeared.
