In May, the capital welcomed its first storm.

A young girl knelt on the ground in a sorry state. Her entire body was wet from the rain. Her face was pale and she was on the verge of collapsing. A man in his fifties stood in front of her, his eyes filled with desolation and disappointment.

“Qin Zhen, the doctor said that Guinian might be crippled! Even if you don’t like him, you can’t humiliate him like this! Is this how the Qin family taught you? I thought you were a little stubborn, but you really disappointed me… Kneel here and reflect on yourself! You’re only allowed to get up once you learn your lesson!”

“Dad, she’s still young. We’ll teach her slowly. She’ll understand eventually. I’ll explain to the He family—”

“Hmph, you’re the one who spoils her. Do you think she’s three years old?”

She could hear the sound of her father and brother arguing…

Qin Zhen struggled to open her heavy eyelids. Through the heavy rain, she could vaguely see two blurry figures. It was just as her brother said. After a person died, they would see the people they missed dearly…. She never seemed to understand what he meant back then.

She had always been an idiot…

Her father and brother had passed away five years ago, and the grass on their graves was almost taller than her. This was the first time Qin Zhen had seen them in her dream. She knew that they hated her. They hated her for destroying the Qin family, so they didn’t even want to visit her dreams. And He Guinian, the man who loved her deeply…

The rain was so heavy that it fell like heavy stones. Qin Zhen really wanted to say something to her father and brother, but she had no strength left. Her body collapsed weakly, and the world turned dark again.

…

When Qin Zhen woke up, she saw the white ceiling and her mind went blank for a moment. Wasn’t Qin Si and Yu Zhuang burned her to death in the warehouse? Where was she…

“Zhenzhen, you’re awake!” A man’s surprised voice rang in her ears.

Qin Zhen’s entire body trembled when she heard his voice. She turned her head stiffly and was met with a familiar man’s handsome face. Her brother, Qin Youting.

He was sentenced to death because he was framed for taking drugs and leaking the entertainment agency’s important secrets.

Was she dreaming?

Qin Zhen felt all the blood in her body flowing back. She stared at Qin Youting. Her lips trembled, but she could not utter a single word. Tears flowed down her face.

Qin Youting was startled when he saw his little sister crying. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor.”

“Brother…” Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Zhen grabbed his arm anxiously. Feeling the warm skin underneath her fingertips, her tears welled up in her eyes again. Qin Zhen was sure that this was not a dream.

She was reborn back when her father and brother were still around. But what about He Guinian?

“Brother, where’s He Guinian?!” When she said this name, Qin Zhen felt pain spread from her heart to her entire body. That man who she crippled and lost everything because of her… In the end, was the one who rushed into the fire to save her and died with her.

She was an idiot to believe in Yu Zhuang and Qin Si. Back then, she always relied on them whenever something happened at home. It was not until the moment she was killed by them that she realized how wrong she was.

“He’s still in the hospital. Zhenzhen, you’ve really gone too far this time. How could you push him down the stairs? You know what’s going on with him. Are you trying to kill him? Even if you don’t want to get engaged to him, you can always talk it out slowly. You can’t just harm him like that.”

Although Qin Youting doted on his sister, this incident was tip-toeing the line. He couldn’t simply go against his morals and side with his sister.

Qin Zhen’s mind was racing quickly. Back then, she was unwilling to get engaged to He Guinian no matter what and pretended to commit suicide by jumping off a building. He Guinian came to save her, but she pushed him down. Since then, He Guinian had injured his legs and could no longer stand. Even if He Guinian didn’t blame her, his family did. How could his parents let that go? They cared about their son and had been enduring all his misfortune…

“Brother, I’ll go see him!”

She wanted to see He Guinian and apologize to him, but Qin Youting didn’t think it would be a wise idea. His sister hated He Guinian the most. Whenever they meet, she would only curse at him. Now, she was making a fuss about wanting to see him…

“You should take good care of yourself and not mess around,”

“Brother, I–”

“If you continue to cause trouble, I won’t be able to protect you! This is not a small matter. You should be sensible!” Qin Youting’s expression turned cold.

Qin Youting was unwilling to take her to the hospital, so Qin Zhen decided to go by herself. She did not even have time to change her clothes. She put on a coat and sneaked to the hospital when the servants were not paying attention.
