Ye You Lin refuses to open her eyes, her mind racing. She convinces herself that it's not her fault and that she did nothing wrong. She only wanted Li Gao Sheng to treat her like any other husband would, yet her love made her blind to the reality that he would never reciprocate.
Maybe she had set her expectations too high or created false hope, but now she admits that it's time to face the truth. She's tired of holding onto a dream that will never come true. The reality that she will never see Li Gao Sheng again fills her with a sense of calm. She can finally rest, free from the turmoil that has plagued her for so long. It's a difficult lesson to learn, and she accepted it.
But...
After a few minutes had passed, Ye You Lin started to feel something she couldn't put into words. A mix of confusion and disbelief washed over her as she tried to make sense of her surroundings.
The last thing she remembered was a searing pain in her chest.
She could feel her heart hammering in her chest as she slowly opened her eyes, taking in the familiar surroundings and the beautiful white ceiling. It was the same room where she had said 'I do' to the man she loved. But how could that be, she was already dead and now she was lying in her wedding room.
The realization hit her like a wave, knocking the wind out of her. Was she given a second chance? A chance to relive the moments that made up the best time of her life.
The thought was almost too much to bear. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill down her cheeks.
But as she lay there, basking in the painful memories of the past, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Could it be a dream? An illusion? Or was it really her wedding day all over again? She was so confused and filled with emotions that she couldn't even begin to process it all.
But one thing was clear – she was given the chance to start anew, and she was determined not to waste it.
With a new sense of purpose, Ye You Lin sat up and took a deep breath. She was ready to face the unknown and make the most of her second chance at life.
She had nothing to lose and everything to gain, and she was ready to take on whatever the day might bring with courage and determination.
However, her resolve was tested when she heard a familiar voice that sent a chill down her spine.
"You're awake."
The voice was cold and indifferent, just like she remembered it. She turned to see Li Gao Sheng standing next to the bed, his eyes fixed on her with a mix of curiosity and contempt.
Her heart raced as she realized that he was really there, in front of her, after all this time.
She was so shocked that she could barely speak.
"Li Gao Sheng,"
she finally managed to say, her voice shaking. "What are you doing here?" The question was more of a statement, as she knew that he had no place in her life after what he had done.
Li Gao Sheng meets her eyes "Am I not allowed to be here?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He took a step towards her, his gaze sharp enough to make her feel like she was being penetrated by his fiery intensity.
Ye You Lin felt a wave of fear wash over her, but she refused to back down. She had been given a second chance at life, and she was determined to make the most of it. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself as she met Li Gao Sheng's gaze head-on.
"No," she said, her voice firm. "I don't want you here."
Li Gao Sheng's lips turned up in a cruel smile as if he were amused by her words.
"Too bad," he said, a sneer in his voice.
"You don't get a say in this." He reached out and grabbed her wrist, his grip tight enough to hurt.
Ye You Lin felt a surge of anger and fear wash over her, but she refused to let him see it. Instead, she pulled away from him, her voice steady as she spoke.
"Let me go, Li Gao Sheng," she said, her eyes locked on his. "I'm not going to let you control me again."
Li Gao Sheng's expression darkened at her words, and for a moment, Ye You Lin thought he might strike her. But instead, he simply released his grip on her wrist, turning towards the door as if he had no interest in her any longer.
"Fine," he said, his voice cold as ice.
"But don't think you can just walk away from this. After what you have done" He glanced back at her, his eyes full of hatred that made her want to shrink back in fear.
Ye You Lin felt a wave of relief wash over her as he left the room, but she knew that his words were not simply a threat. She had come back to life, and with it, the realization that she was not free of Li Gao Sheng's hold on her.
She knew that she would have to fight for her life, and she was ready to do whatever it took.
As Li Gao Sheng's footsteps faded away, she let out a deep breath, feeling both exhausted and renewed with determination. She had been given a second chance at life, and she was not going to let Li Gao Sheng or anyone else take it away from her.
Ye you lin standing in front of a mirror, clad only in a simple red gown. The soft fabric caressed her curves, and her reflection looked back at her with a mix of emotion in her eyes, her eyes fixed on the red mark on her chest, a reminder of the night Li gao sheng's hatred for her began.
She felt shame wash over her as she remembered what had happened on her wedding night. She had been so naive, so desperate for Li Gao Sheng's love that she had pushed herself on him without knowing the consequences that would follow.
She felt stupid for not realizing sooner that her actions had only driven him away from her even more.
The memory of that night was still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder what had compelled her to make such a rash and thoughtless decision.
Li gao sheng's coldness towards her was a stark reminder of the consequences of her actions.
