Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate.
She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish.
She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone.
She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear!
If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it.
If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive.
No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix!
“What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?”
“That’s right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?"

Lu Mingshu paced up and down since she couldn't be at ease. After some time, she heard footsteps coming toward the room.

"Hurry up! Over here!" She could hear the Drug Lord's voice.

Lu Mingshu debated for a while and went out of her room. She saw two guards carrying Xie Lianzhen into the room next to her.

Xie Lianzhen looked very pale. His eyes were shut, and his arms were filled with bruises and scars.

Lu Mingshu followed behind and stood at the door.

The Drug Lord didn't take notice of her presence. He was sprawled on the floor, staring intensely at Xie Lianzhen and mumbling. "Weird, weird. Why did he have such a big reaction? Does he really know what he's doing? What should I do…?"
