Chapter One :Chapter 1

Mystic Domain Continent

Country of Azure Feathers.

In a grim, terrifying secret chamber, an intense chill permeates the air.

In the darkness, a slender silhouette was bound by thick chains around its wrists and ankles equivalent to the size of a thumb. Hanging in mid-air with a head drooped low in a state of dying, it swung back and forth.

The blood on its body had dried up, leaving a gaping, black hole on the left side of the chest.

Hiss——

A soft gasp echoed in the dark. As Ye Yuhuan opened her eyes, an endless darkness greeted her. Was she dead? Yet, the pain in her chest felt so real! Can the dead feel pain?

No! It's impossible!

Could it be… she didn’t die?

That's…that's impossible. Her body had been reduced to fragments by an explosion.

Pain swept over her again, preventing her from thinking clearly. Any slight movement sent the surrounding chains clanging, producing clear, crisp sounds.

The bizarre environment, the unbearable pain in her chest, where on earth was she? Was she dead or alive?

Doubts consumed her thoughts before she could come up with an answer, her head buzzed, as though it were about to explode.

Stray memories flooded her mind, leaving her no room for respite.

She had no idea how much time had passed, but while the headache gradually subsided, her clothes were already drenched in cold sweat. In the darkness, a pair of sharp, phoenix eyes suddenly appeared!

She had crossed over!

Explosives had obliterated her body, yet she found herself in the Greenfeather Kingdom located in a mysterious continent with no historical records. It was a world where martial prowess was respected, and power dictated law.

A world entirely foreign to her!

The original owner of this body shared her name: Ye Yuhuan. Whether it was a coincidence or not remained unknown.

Ye Yuhuan was the seventh young miss of the Ye family, one of Greenfeather Kingdom's four significant clans. She was ugly, bullied since childhood, and treated as a good-for-nothing. She could neither cultivate nor make medicine, not even capable of doing simple feminine tasks. The Ye family had given up on her, leaving her to fend for herself. She lived with the servants, hardly receiving the treatment worthy of a lady of her status.

Her current state was due to her second older sister's machinations.

Her second sister, Ye Yuxi, was considered the top cultivator in the whole Greenfeather Kingdom. Despite her young age, she had achieved remarkable milestones. Being both impressively skilled and beautiful, she had won the heart of the third prince. Therefore, she was publicly recognized as the future third princess.

Because of an offhand comment she had made during a family banquet that disrespected Ye Yuxi, she was accused of plotting murder against her. As punishment, she was locked in the dungeon for seven days. However, just yesterday, Ye Yuxi had disgustingly extracted her heart, feeding it to the dogs!

Ye Yuhuan sneered coldly. The Ye family must have forgotten about their lady being locked away in the dungeon!

How could anyone live without their heart? With the original body's demise, her lonely soul from another world was able to reincarnate.

Remembering this, Ye Yuhuan's face was smeared with an icy expression. She couldn't help but lower her gaze to her chest. But given the surrounding darkness, she saw nothing; only pain was distinct and unmistakable.

Since she had become the seventh lady of Ye Family, she would definitely settle this debt for the deceased Ye Yuhuan!

Creak!

Suddenly, an abrupt sound of a door opening rang out. A beam of bright white light hit Ye Yuhuan, the blinding luminosity made it impossible for her to open her eyes.

"You... how can you still be alive?"

A stunned female voice echoed at the door upon setting sights on Ye Yuhàn, who despite having her heart plucked out was still audibly gasping for air— a sight that elicited sighs.

Ye Yuhàn soon adjusted to the light. Her eyes narrowed as she focused a frosty glare at the door.

A woman clad in a yellow robe with a smile befitting pleasant company stood at the entrance—her delicately powdered cheeks hiding a cruel smile.

Isn't this her third sister, Ye Yuwei? The very sibling no less complicit in her betrayal!

"You good-for-nothing! Unable to imbue energy into yourself, how on Earth are you still alive?"

Ye Yuwei sneered as she made her way towards Ye Yuhàn, shocked to see her sister still living. How was it possible for someone whose heart was ripped out, to be alive still?

With that horrid face of hers, she has the audacity to covet Prince 3 —hoping to overturn her ill-fortune just because she was betrothed to him? What an outrageous thought! The rightful queen should be her second sister, as Prince 3 also believes. They cannot afford to let Ye Yuhàn ruin Second Sister’s concatenated destiny!

However, Ye Yuhàn stayed silent, keeping her head bowed slightly as she watched Ye Yuwei approach from her peripheral sight.

Ye Yuhàn, with an almost non-existing smile on her face, leisurely walks towards the dungeon and dismissively propositions, "Let your third sister here see how long you, a heartless body, can survive?"

"Third Sister!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuhàn looked up and murmured faintly.

Startled by Ye Yuhàn's unexpected action, Ye Yuwei momentarily froze. She took a second to gather her thoughts and reiterate to herself, it’s impossible for her wicked sister to be capable of causing any harm. Why should she be afraid then? However, that look in her eyes…

Clang!

At that moment, the iron chain around Ye Yuhàn's wrist shook violently as if instantaneously bursting into life. Before Ye Yuwei could react, the sturdy, thumb-thick chain was already wrapped around her.

All the while, Ye Yuhàn stood nonchalantly to one side, looking down at Ye Yuwei ensnared before her with imperious disdain.

"Ye Yihan, what are you doing? Quick, release me now!”

Ye Yiwei had her hands and feet bound. She simply could not exert her Qi, and her cultivation base was insufficient. It was impossible for her to struggle free from such thick chains. All she could do was yell for Ye Yihan to let her loose!

Yet, Ye Yihan merely stared at her coldly, without a hint of emotion on his face.

"You're just an ugly freak, a waste of space. Hurry up and release me. Once I escape, you'll pay for this!" Ye Yiwei cursed as she struggled.

She had never anticipated that the consistently weak and bullied 'Ye Xiaoqi' would retaliate. And how did she release these chains? Moreover, how was she moving without a heart?

Listening to Ye Yiwei's threat, a dark, chilling smile suddenly appeared on Ye Yihan's face. “Third Sister," he said, "Thank you for reminding me. Why would I ever let you leave this place alive?”

As he spoke, he slowly moved towards her.

Each step he took closer made her face a bit paler. Eyes wide open, she stared at Ye Yihan, suppressing the apprehension in her heart, and said, "What are you trying to achieve? Second Sister will not let you get away with this!”

Ye Yihan said nothing. He quickly reached out and directly grabbed Ye Yiwei's chest, and then a shiny red heart was pulled out.

"Good enough for me." After saying that, Ye Yihan then placed that shiny red heart into his body, and the dark hole in his body was visibly healing right before their eyes.

Ye Yiwei, lying on the ground on her last breath, could never have imagined that her curiosity would end up costing her life!

When Ye Yihan's body had fully recovered, only then did he squat down to look at Ye Yiwei on the ground. He casually picked up a stone and placed it into her body. A faint golden light flickered over her chest and the hole there quickly sealed up. No change at all was visible to the naked eye.

Ye Yiwei could not die just yet! Who knew if she might still serve a purpose.

Ye Yixi, we'll settle our accounts slowly!
