Otherhalf

She was the queen of special agents, a blood-soaked legend who made the most powerful men in the world quake in fear. Ruthless, brilliant, and unmatched, her name was a death sentence.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself trapped in the broken body of a useless rich girl, beaten half to death by her in-laws.

Her husband? A filthy cheat who flaunted his mistress right in her face. Her mother-in-law? A venomous snake who degraded her as if she were less than dirt. And her so-called father? A greedy traitor plotting to steal the family fortune she was born to inherit.

The world thought she was finished. But they had no idea who they were dealing with.

Reborn as Gu Ling, she rose from the ashes as a demon from hell. The timid, broken girl was gone. In her place stood a woman who crushed her enemies underfoot without a second thought.

She humiliated the mistress so thoroughly the 
woman would never dare show her face again. She beat her mother-in-law so mercilessly the woman never spoke another word of disrespect. Her useless husband? She made him crawl at her feet, begging for mercy, before throwing him out like trash.

And that was just the beginning.

She stormed into elite academies and martial arts halls, proving herself to be a force the world couldn’t contain. Step by step, she reclaimed her throne, her power, and her pride.

The world whispered about Gu Ling, the discarded wife of the Lu family. They said she was a second-hand woman no man would ever touch.

But as she stood above them all, a certain man knelt before her, a man whose name struck terror into the hearts of the underworld. He was cold, ruthless, and unstoppable. They called him the King of the Night.

Gu Ling tilted his chin up with a queen’s arrogance, her lips curling into a wicked smile.

“I accept your proposal,” she said, her voice dripping with power.

The Queen Of Special Agents Is Reborn Into A Wealthy Family

(Note: The water is not that hot and Xiao means little, Gu Yun— Gu Ling younger step-sister, is Xiao Yun as in Little Yun)

The boiling water poured down on Gu Yun and Li Yanmei, scalding them as if they were pieces of pork being cleaned.

Only Father Gu, who was standing farther away, was spared.

"Gu Ling! You bitch! What are you doing?!"

Li Yanmei screamed as the scalding water drenched her and her daughter.

She simply watched as the last drops of hot water fell, then casually tossed the empty kettle down as well.

Father Gu wanted to dodge, but it was too late. His once dignified appearance was now completely ruined.

Gu Ling looked down at them with icy eyes, then spoke slowly and clearly.

"The international Gates is not a place just any piece of trash can step into."

"Especially non-recyclable garbage like you, who don't even have a brain!"

"If I ever hear you badmouthing me again, I'll rip your mouths apart!"

With that, she turned around and walked away without sparing them another glance.

She went back to her room and turned on her computer.

Right now, she had no connections, no bargaining chips. She was starting over from scratch.

If she wanted to return to that world, there was only one way, through the Elite Academy.

The soft glow of the computer screen illuminated her face.

Under the white light, her slender fingers danced across the keyboard.

Before long, a simple-looking webpage appeared.

No one would have guessed that Gu Ling had just entered the darkest corner of the underground world, a secret marketplace where agents and assassins traded information.

To access it, knowing the URL wasn't enough. A special code was required.

And those who could register an account here were all people of great power and influence.

As soon as the page loaded, a bold red headline caught her eye—

The special code that once struck fear into the underworld.

Gu Ling's expression didn't change.

She only glanced at the announcement indifferently.

Flying Leopard: Is it the 07 I'm thinking of? Is she really dead?! The legendary king of the mercenary world—gone, just like that?

Hero: They say her corpse was already found… What a pity…

Jack: I heard 07 was betrayed by her own people and died tragically. And the one who killed her is about to take over as the new King of Agents!

As Gu Ling scrolled through the discussions, a cold, murderous light flashed in her eyes.

Not only had he killed her, but now he was trying to take her throne?

The killing intent in Gu Ling's eyes deepened, like a storm brewing in hell.

Hei Xiong, enjoy your time sitting in that seat while you can.

And I will crush your bones beneath my feet like a hunted animal.

She closed the page and clicked on the search bar.

Typing in "International Elite Academy," she began her research.

This was the first step on the road to revenge.

Besides Lu Lingxiao's hospital examination, she also had to clean up the mess left by the original owner, her marriage with Lu Ming.

Gu Ling went downstairs just in time to hear laughter from the living room.

Passing by, she saw Li Yanmei, Gu Yun, and Father Gu happily chatting.
