Chapter 1: Reborn Seven Years Later
"Hmm..." Mu Zi slowly opened her eyes, and the white blur in front of her, along with the strong scent of medicine wafting through her nostrils, instantly told her that she was in a hospital.
She was stunned, and then she said, how could she have died in such a miserable way? If people knew that the genius of traditional Chinese medicine had died like this, her old face would be completely lost.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my body, as if my bones were dislocated. It's strange, what's going on? Why did she feel like her left hand and left leg were fractured, crushed into pieces, with plaster casts on them? Even if she was critically ill, it wouldn't have resulted in such severe fractures!
The more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Mu Zi raised her right wrist to take a look, and on it was a dark purple cuff with an eerie mandala flower pattern - a new wedding gift from him that she had been wearing all along.
But that hand... Mu Zi's pupils suddenly contracted, the cuff was exactly the same as hers, but this hand absolutely wasn't her hand.
This hand is white and slender, soft and weak. This hand that is absolutely skilled in refining poison, refining medicine, killing people and setting fires, what's going on?
She looked around the ward, although it was a ward but not the one she was in at first. Such simple facilities were absolutely impossible in Mu's hospital. Where was this place?
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man with a kind face and a warm smile walked in, looking at Mu Zi and saying: "Miss, how can you be so silly!"
"If something were to happen to you, how could I face Master?" Tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost burst out crying right there in the hospital.
But Mu Zi stared at the middle-aged man's turbid pupils in shock, although they were very blurry, but she saw clearly this unfamiliar face, and there was only her in this room. So, this unfamiliar face was hers!
The middle-aged man handed Mu Zi a cup of milk and said, "Miss jumped from the third floor, fortunately didn't hit her head, but suffered severe fractures, probably need to stay in hospital for a month."
"Should I inform Master and have him come..."
Muzi is now certain that she has encountered the "borrowing a corpse to return to the soul" mentioned by her mother, this body is easy to solve, but she knows nothing about the previous owner of this body. If she sees the father of this body and he discovers something unusual, she will probably be caught and taken to a laboratory as a monster for research. She said faintly: "Don't say anything, I'll just stay in the hospital for a month." Her voice was a bit hoarse and also somewhat childish, obviously not very old.
That middle-aged man looked at Mu Zi in surprise, feeling that something was different about Miss, but he didn't say anything.
"I want to write a diary, bring my diary over." She now wants to figure out who this body is and then act accordingly.
"Miss, your school bag is just beside the bed, I'll get it for you." The middle-aged man held a school bag and unzipped it, pulling out a light purple notebook.
"Miss, you are a lady from the Murong family, how can you jump off the building for a man like that!" The middle-aged man said with a bitter tone.
"I understand, I want to be alone and calm down for a while." Mu Zi said lightly, holding her diary.
"Alright! Then I'll head home to make dinner for Miss." Upon hearing Mu Zi's words, the middle-aged man didn't say anything. The young lady had always disliked interacting with people. She was introverted and not good at communicating.
After the butler left, Mu Zi finally let out a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man was affable, but he gave her a lot of pressure. If she wasn't mistaken, this person was a practitioner's son, and not a weak one at that.
Is it the Murong family? What kind of family is it after all?
Mu Zi opened the first page of her notebook, on which was written three elegant characters: Mu Rong Zi. The surname was different, but the name was indeed the same.
Turned to page one.
September 8th, 2004. Mu Zi was stunned. How could this be her wedding day? And it was the first page... so what time is it now?
"I was poisoned by them again, and death should have been close to me. For someone like me, living is no better than dying. But unexpectedly, I woke up again. This is a strange place, a small county town that I am not familiar with. My father is not by my side, only Liu the housekeeper is left beside me. The housekeeper said that I was exiled by my family."
"Haha! A family doesn't need trash, and in the end even Father abandoned me, despite being the only daughter of the Murong family's master."
"But it's also good this way, I can quietly and peacefully live out the rest of my life in this small county town where no one knows me."
Muzi continued to flip through the diary, not recording every day but sporadically recording, this is a lonely, introverted little girl's inner world.
However, she roughly understood Mu Rong Zi's situation, and from then on, she was no longer Mu Zi but Mu Rong Zi.
July 7th, 2012, this is the last day of her diary. She died. And seven years ago today, she was also on the verge of death in hospital.
Mu Zi's body stiffened, she had actually been reborn seven years later, a full seven-year gap, the fleeting passage of seven years, and not only did she not age, but she was three years younger.
Seven years later, everything has changed and I don't know how they are doing now. But for myself, it's as if only a moment has passed.
"I've always liked a boy who isn't handsome and doesn't do well in school, but I like that kind of ordinariness. If we could be an ordinary couple, it would definitely be the happiest thing. So Xiaoli told me to confess to him after school in front of the classroom. Now that we're already in our third year of high school, if I don't confess now, it'll soon be too late."
"So I decided to do the one brave thing I could."
After finishing, Mu Zi digested the message in her brain. Fortunately, she had strong acceptance and slowly accepted this strange thing. She was reborn into the body of a young girl named Murong Zi, who was not even eighteen years old yet. She seemed to be a miss from a large family, but because of being useless and incompetent, she was exiled here.
This is a small county town, a small county town under a third-tier city, 180,000 miles away from her Anshi.
And this woman jumped off the building for some inexplicable reason after confessing, ending up with a disability. Was it because of an unsuccessful confession? Mu Zi's mouth twitched, it can't be that exaggerated!
And her body...
Slender fingers clasped the wrist that couldn't move due to a fracture, and her eyebrows furrowed tighter, the injury was very severe. Earlier, Liu Guan said she could be discharged from the hospital in a month, but it would take at least half a year to fully recover.
And...
Murong Zi was so angry that she wanted to curse her mother after understanding the situation clearly. This body is simply a container for all kinds of deadly poisons! There are many toxins that she knows, and some that even she doesn't know about. No wonder Murong Zi said "again" poisoned, it turns out that this Murong Zi has been poisoned with various toxins since birth, it's really unknown how she survived?
The more she frowned, the tighter her brow became. What kind of family was the Mu Rong family after all? A family that could be so vicious to a little girl, a family that possessed poison that even she didn't know about... That kind of terror was absolutely not something that An Shi Mu's family could withstand.
Although she now misses her loved ones and friends, wanting to tell them that she is fine, it's not possible at the moment. She needs to quickly figure out the situation, who wants to harm Murong Zi, and clear all the dangers before going to see them. Otherwise, they will be implicated by her current identity.
At this time, a faint purple light enveloped her, and Murong Zi fell into a deep sleep once again.
