Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ci’s disfigured face was exposed to the public’s eyes, causing children to scream in fright, while others recoiled in fear. Rumors of her being a murderer were being spread by some.

Gu Ci looked at the crying children in bewilderment, then belatedly covered her face, standing amidst the crowd, feeling utterly lost and confused. She belatedly covered her injured face.

Onlookers pointed fingers and cursed, even summoning security to expel the alleged murderer from the mall. In a rush, Lu Zhiyuan arrived and shielded Gu Ci, ensuring her safe departure.

As a global superstar, Lu Zhiyuan’s actions quickly made headlines. His fans began to investigate Gu Ci, feeling that she was unworthy of him. A barrage of vulgar language was directed at Gu Ci.

In a fit of anger, Lu Zhiyuan announced his retirement and declared that Gu Ci was his wife.

However, at that time, Gu Ci was unwilling to say more than a few words to him!

That night, he didn’t sleep soundly. His psychologist mentioned that Gu Ci had endured inhumane torture in prison, her will to survive weakened. He had not dared to sleep deeply since then, and that night, he woke up inexplicably, feeling that something was about to happen. He couldn’t find Gu Ci in the bedroom, and panic set in. He searched everywhere, only to discover Gu Ci standing on the fourth floor of the villa, poised to fall headfirst. Lu Zhiyuan used his superpowers to catch her. That night, Gu Ci had taken pills, and she was somewhat drowsy, unaware of her actions.

Gu Ci had lost all hope for this world, and she had no will to live. After her release from prison, she seemed like a lifeless shell. She didn’t even desire revenge.

Gu Chuyun and Lu Shijie had framed her and sent her to prison, but she didn’t mention it after her release. She had always been a person who believed in retaliation. If Gu Chuyun slapped her, she would return two slaps.

But now, she didn’t even want revenge, which indicated that the hope that had kept her going had long extinguished.

Lu Zhiyuan was torn between heartache, anger, and helplessness.

He asked Gu Ci, “Don’t you want revenge?”

Gu Ci, with empty eyes, asked, “Even if I get revenge, can I go back to the past?” If it couldn’t change anything, what use was revenge?

Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes welled up with tears!

She had lost everything, including hope, and in this world, she didn’t even have someone she cared about.

Gu Ci attempted suicide three times, and each time, Lu Zhiyuan stopped her. He took her to see doctors, hoping to heal her hand injury. Her hand had suffered a comminuted fracture, and although it had been repaired, it was not functional for strenuous activities or delicate work. It was essentially useless.

Five years in prison, bearing a body full of wounds, both physical and emotional. He had been a race car driver for many years, but the injuries and ailments from his five years behind bars were far more severe!

“Gu Ci, if you can’t find a reason to live, then live for me!” Lu Zhiyuan kissed her scar gently. “I’ll live for you, and you’ll live for me, alright?”

Gu Ci looked at him with confusion. “Why should I live for you?”

“I want to marry you!” Lu Zhiyuan declared. “So please, live for me.”

Due to the pain, Lu Zhiyuan passed out, and his memories abruptly stopped.

Gu Ci shook his shoulders in panic. “Lu Zhiyuan, wake up, Lu Zhiyuan!”

Gu Ci checked his breathing, which was surprisingly normal. She furrowed her brows, rushed to find the first-aid kit.

Lu Zhiyuan’s condition had stabilized, but he remained unconscious. Gu Ci had some common medical equipment at home, and she thoroughly examined Lu Zhiyuan, finding nothing unusual. Why wouldn’t he wake up? It felt like he had just fallen asleep.

What could be wrong with his body?

Could there be some hidden issue despite the healthy readings from the instruments? Would taking him to the hospital reveal anything?

“Third Brother, don’t scare me!” Gu Ci thought, if he didn’t wake up tonight, she would take him to the hospital. So Gu Ci didn’t even dare to blink her eyes. She checked his pulse every minute, his breathing every two minutes, and occasionally took his temperature. His pulse and breathing didn’t seem like symptoms of a sudden illness at all. Gu Ci was in a frantic state, and she stayed by his side until dawn.

As dawn broke, Lu Zhiyuan still hadn’t woken up. Gu Ci’s heart raced, and she was about to untie him and take him to the hospital for an examination. However, unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes.

Gu Ci regained her composure instantly, stepped back three paces, and looked down at him from a position of dominance, still maintaining the posture of a captor.

“Cici?” He barely called her name when a severe headache struck him again, and he remembered the memories that had floated in his mind before losing consciousness. Were those memories from a past life?

But hadn’t he been in a car accident and nearly died?

Lu Zhiyuan tried to rub his temples but suddenly realized that he was tied up. He stared in disbelief. “Gu Ci, what’s going on?”

He had actually been bound?

Gu Ci also looked at him with confusion. “Who are you, really?”

“I’m Lu Zhiyuan, who else could I be? Could it be that I survived a car accident, narrowly escaped death, and then came back to life?” Lu Zhiyuan touched his face, startled. “Wait, is this really my face? Why did you tie me up? Can you explain?”

Gu Ci took a few steps back, becoming even more perplexed.

Was this really Third Brother?

No, he was acting! Just like when he portrayed Third Brother, he was now pretending to be confused. He was just doing this to escape.

“No matter how convincing your act is, 1 won’t fall for it!” Gu Ci said coldly.

“What’s all this nonsense, Gu Ci, untie me!” Lu Zhiyuan furrowed his brow and noticed that she seemed not only thinner but also a bit abnormal. “Have you gone crazy?”

Gu Ci sneered, “You’re not going anywhere no matter how convincing your act is!”

Gu Ci sneered and turned away.

“Gu Ci, stop right there, fuck!” Lu Zhiyuan tried to get up and follow her but found that his feet were also locked. The door to the secret room had been closed. In the midst of this excitement, he experienced another intense wave of pain. Memories from the period after the car accident began flooding back into his mind, how Third Young Master had impersonated him, and how Gu Ci had been driven to madness.

Including the memories from last night!

Lu Zhiyuan suddenly froze and felt a strange sensation. All along, his memories and Third Young Master’s memories had never interfered with each other. He had never been interested in Third Young Master’s affairs.

Why did everything suddenly seem like his own experience? It was as if he had awakened from a dream. Lu Zhiyuan frowned, his expression growing colder. What was going on?

Another wave of memories rushed into his mind, overwhelming him like a torrential flood.

He had regained all his memories, spanning his past and present!

Gu Ci leaned against the door in a state of panic and confusion. Why did his gaze… look so much like Third Brother’s? No, to be precise, it resembled the familiar Lu Zhiyuan from her previous life.

No!

It must be a deception, an act to escape. She couldn’t trust him!

In Paris, inside the safehouse.

Ji Chi, after waking up from the effects of anesthesia, realized that he hadn’t been conscious during the surgery. He had no awareness when Jiang Junlin brought him back. The pain in his arm, after the anesthesia wore off, felt like someone was continuously chiseling into his skull..
