In a deserted alleyway, Ye Xiayao watched in horror as her son was abducted by a man in black. She cried out and struggled desperately to take her son back, but her mouth was covered, she was forcefully administered a pill, and after a short period of time, she began to vomit large amounts of blood, her body went numb, and she could feel her organs failing one by one.

Before she died, she could remember the man in black leaving with Ye Xingyao. Zhao Anguo appeared at the end of the empty alley. He stood above her, looking down at her arrogantly, "Ye Xiayao, you thought you could fight me? Go to hell! Xingyao will be my son, and Xiang Li will be my husband. No, that's not right. In the future, Xiang Li and I will have children of our own. As for Ye Xingyao... he's nothing but a pawn that I used to gain Xiang Li's trust. Xiayao, don't be sad. He'll be with you soon..."

Ye Xiayao’s eyes turned bloodshot, but she was unable to move a muscle.

She wasn't willing to die just like that!

"Return Xingyao to me!" Ye Xiayao broke out in cold sweat, screaming herself awake.

Total silence filled the room.

Ye Xiayao slowly sat up, looking at the familiar yet strange surroundings. An electronic clock on the bedside table showed the time and date: March 26th, 06:00...

Hadn't she died already?

She clearly remembered spewing large amounts of fresh blood from her mouth, eventually coughing up foam. Her vision blurred by tears, she was unable to move while she watched her son being taken away. She could feel her life slipping away.

Why was she back in her own apartment?

Hopping out of bed, Ye Xiayao caught sight of the electronic clock. When she saw the date, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning - it should have been June 30th! Her mind went blank. She picked up her phone. The headline news was the popular actor and his assistant going public with their relationship...

"Xingyao, Xingyao!" Without a second thought, she threw her phone aside and ran towards the small bedroom.

"Mommy, it's only six o'clock. Can I sleep a bit more..." As the door opened, a four to five-year-old boy appeared, his face full of sleepiness, his round eyes half open.

Ye Xiayao held him tightly, constantly stroking his hair, gently patting his back, her tears unstoppable.

Hearing Ye Xiayao's sobs, Ye Xingyao fully woke up. His soft, young voice sounded in her ears, "Mommy, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you? I'll go get back at him for you!" Saying this, Ye Xingyao raised his little fist.

Ye Xiaoyao managed a teary smile as she let go of Ye Xingyao. She gazed at his innocent yet detailed little face, which gradually merged with another face from her memory. A pang of pain hit her heart, for she knew who had killed her in her last life.

"Be good, Xingyao, go back to sleep. Mommy is fine, just had a bad dream." Ye Xiaoyao said with a smile, then pushed Ye Xingyao back into his bedroom.

Once the door was closed, the events of her previous life flooded back to Ye Xiaoyao.

Her eyes shut tight in agony.

Five years ago, on her birthday, her boyfriend had invited her out for a candlelit dinner. Back then, she was only 21 and harbored beautiful hopes about love.

During dinner, her boyfriend produced a ring, proposing to her.

"Xiaoyao, I know you are sensitive at heart, need to be carefully cared for. Even though you are young now, I'm willing to wait. Let’s get engaged first, okay?"

Ye Xiaoyao was both surprised and incredulous, she was stunned for a good while.

Not until the surrounding people began to cheer and shouted their encouragement.

Looking at her boyfriend’s sincere face, Ye Xiaoyao finally nodded, "Okay, let's get engaged first. We will get married after my graduation."

Then her boyfriend suddenly asked a strange question, "Xiaoyao, if I ever do something wrong in the future, making you feel upset, would you forgive me, would you still stay with me?" The pity in his eyes as he asked melted Ye Xiaoyao’s heart.

As happiness came too suddenly, Ye Xiaoyao did not even notice the strange smile that curled up at the corners of her boyfriend's mouth. She clumsily replied after a pause, "I... I don't know."

After her reply, Ye Xiaoyao began to feel dizzy. She tiredly lifted her eyelids, looking at her boyfriend, "I feel so sleepy, did I drink too much…” Everything before her eyes started to blur. She couldn’t see her boyfriend clearly.

But she could clearly feel an unbearable, burning sensation all over her body.

She struggled to seek a bit of coolness, but it was as if something had brushed past her body, intensifying the fire raging within...

The sudden intrusion caused her to open her eyes in pain. Under the dim and uncertain light, she saw a face that she would remember for the rest of her life.

"Who are you?!!!" Ye Xiayao summoned all her strength and shouted out loud.

The man paused briefly; a hint of clarity came across his eyes. However, it quickly got overshadowed by desire. His face flushed unusually. He continued his forceful claim, causing Ye Xiayao to feel more pain with each moment. Her mind was a mess, desperate to struggle, but her body was weak and limp.

...

Later on, she attempted suicide, leaving deep scars on her wrists. She locked herself in her room, refusing food and drink until she fainted and was taken to the hospital, where it was discovered that she was pregnant.

Even later, Ye Xiayao had to beg her parents to allow her to keep the child, after which they had sent her abroad to recover.

Five years later, when she returned home with her four-year-old child, Xing Yao, she ran into Xiang Li again—the man who had taken her first time! Due to the boy's remarkable resemblance to him, Xiang Li became suspicious.

In just three short months, a lot happened. Zhao An Ge got close to her, pretending to be her best girlfriend. She stole some of Ye Xing Yao's hair and took it to Xiang Li for DNA testing. She then stirred up Xiang Li's view on Ye Xiayao, finally making Xiang Li detest Ye Xiayao so much that he decided to take Ye Xing Yao away.

...

"Ding…" A sudden ring from her mobile phone pulled Ye Xiayao from her recollection.

The phone screen displayed a message, "Miss Ye, don’t forget our meeting at Jinling Restaurant in three days—Xiang Li."

Ye Xiayao forced out a smile, throwing the phone onto her bed.

Surely, there's justice in the world, giving her another chance!

This time around, she swore she wouldn't let anyone who harmed her go unpunished!
