Qi Jianyi slowly opened her eyes. The familiar sight of her bedroom in the luxurious Qi family estate greeted her, but for the first time in a long while, the usual weight pressing down on her heart was absent.
It was as though a long-standing doubt that had shadowed her soul had finally dissipated, leaving her with a profound sense of clarity and peace. For the first time, she felt like she could truly breathe again.
Her efforts had not been in vain. The seemingly endless struggles she had endured bore fruit, and the family she cherished was waiting for her, just as she had always hoped. Sitting up, she wiped the warm tears trailing down her cheeks.
A small but genuine smile blossomed on her face, growing brighter with each passing second. She was happy—deeply and irrevocably happy.
