Chapter 1: Destiny

Prologue

Twenty-five years ago, in an extremely backward mountain village, clouds of five colors appeared in the sky, stretching for miles, a sign of natural auspiciousness! A baby's cry resounded through the valley. An elderly couple in the house were holding their daughter, who was born at an advanced age, with smiles on their faces.

A few days later, a young man in strange clothes came to the village and found the couple. He pointed at the baby girl who was drinking milk and shook his head and sighed, "What a sin, what a sin."

The couple was shocked, and their faces turned pale instantly.

The young man seemed to have thought of something. He walked forward and picked up the baby girl despite the couple's objections and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

In the orphanage, the baby girl's petite body was placed outside the door, with a note on her body: Sarah, born in the Year of Gengwu, Month of Gengchen, Day of Xinyou, Hour of Mao. And a phoenix-patterned jade pendant.

In the noisy subway station of City A, a woman with a graceful figure, delicate features, and light makeup stood aside, staring at the watch on her wrist, anxiously waiting for the subway. There was an important meeting at the company today, and it was also the first large-scale meeting she attended since joining the M Group.

Seeing that she was about to be late, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She shouldn't have gone out drinking with her friend, Linda, last night.

Following the reminder on the radio, Sarah prepared to rush into the subway at any moment. It was rush hour, and no one would be gentle with women, and there was no point in expecting ladies first.

The subway entered the station, and the crowded carriage made her frown and feel helpless. As soon as the door opened, the young men and women behind her swarmed in, stepping on her a few times. Sarah cursed a few words under her breath and was about to squeeze in.

Without warning, a loud scream of "Robbery! Robbery!" erupted from the crowd. Sarah shook her head and quickly glanced toward the source of the sound, only to see a woman holding a child in her arms, pointing helplessly in a certain direction and shouting. Following her gesture, she saw a young man running away with a lady's handbag in his hand.

Even though many people saw this scene, no one stepped forward to help! Sarah was determined and rushed out of the crowd in an instant, running in the direction where the man had fled while wearing high heels.

Although she was very fast, the distance between her and the thief was getting farther and farther. The woman with the child chased after her, and Sarah didn't want to give up.

Until she chased him out of the subway station.

Fortune smiled upon her. The thief was so tired of running away that he had no time to pay attention to the road conditions and was knocked to the ground by a bicycle. Sarah took the opportunity to catch up and kicked him twice in the lower body.

She took out her cell phone from her bag and called the police, panting, not noticing the murderous look in the thief's eyes.

There were a lot of people watching on the road, but were there to help? No one.

So when the thief took out a knife from his clothes, no one warned Sarah, who was on the phone. The thief struggled to stand up and stabbed her in the chest.

Bright red blood spurted from the wound, the cell phone in Sarah's hand fell to the ground, and her eyes gradually became empty.

The thief also realized he had killed someone impulsively and dropped the knife in panic, fleeing!

Sarah fell to the ground with a thud, her consciousness blurring. In a trance, she only heard the exclamations of the indifferent crowd, the cry for help from the woman, and the cry of the child.

The fickleness of human nature! Shocking!

Her body gradually became cold. Was she dead just like that? She was unwilling to accept this. If there was an afterlife, she, Sarah, would be grateful!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The phoenix-patterned jade pendant on her neck quietly changed, a white light flashed across the sky, and the gears of fate began to turn!
