1 Cause of her rebirth

Li Mingzhu can't help but gasp; seeing him alive and well while standing at the doorway in her bedroom. She can't decide what she needed to do next. Should she cry and call out his name? Should she jump out of the bed and hug him like crazy?

But at the moment, she is not sure what is going on. The last time she saw Lu ShanYuan, he took a bullet for her and died in the operating room.

Lujia blamed her for the untimely death of their beloved heir and drove her out of their home. She was an orphan, a granddaughter of Grandpa Lu's benefactor. The Old man took pity of her and fostered her in the family since she was 8 years old.

She grew up with Brother Yuan and loved him since she first saw him.

But she caused his death – the last time she saw him, he died saving her.

What face does she have for him right now?

She really can't blame the Lu family. In her last life, she was a shrew. Although she was an orphan, the Li family was a nouveau riche during her grandpa's time. Her parents were second-generation third rate family and she was pampered all throughout her life, even with the Lu family.

The only thing wrong was that her Li family lacked was relatives. Her grandpa was an orphan. His wife was the only daughter of a poor family who was also not close to their relatives. When Li Mingzhu's maternal great grandparents died, her grandma was all alone. Coincidentally, she died young leaving her grandpa a widow with a son.

And her mother, lo and behold, was an orphan too. Her parents also died together in a car accident, leaving her in her grandpa's care. But her grandpa had cancer. He died from sickness. But before he did, he made sure that Li Mingzhu will be taken care of by his closest friend, Lu Yuwen – grandpa Lu.

And so the Lu family never wronged her. She had a hefty inheritance after all. And she grew up knowing she will be Brother Yuan's bride. However, Brother Yuan, who was 4 years older, never loved her that way. He only saw her as a sister.

When she was 18 years old, she started chasing him actively. Scheming and stepping on other people just to ensure nobody would go near her Brother Yuan.

But Brother Yuan fell in love with Su Minge, delicate beauty with a delicate heart. Su Minge also had a protective brother, Su Juyen.

When she was 24 years old, she had a breakthrough with her relationship with Brother Yuan. Despite knowing that Su Minge and her Brother Yuan are already in a good relationship at that time, she drugged Brother Yuan and seduced him to sleep with her. The next day, grandpa Lu caught them and forced Brother Yuan to marry her.

Their wedding day was supposed to be her happiest moment. However, Su Minge committed suicide and her brother, Su Juyen rushed to their reception and aimed at her. The bullet would have to go through her heart if not for Brother Yuan, her reluctant groom who was at her side, pushed her aside and took the bullet for her.

Everything was in chaos. Wearing her bloodied wedding gown, they rushed Brother Yuan to the hospital. But he didn't make it.

Su Juyen was able to escape at that time but Su Minge also didn't survive her suicide. When the Lu family drove her out the street in anger after Brother Yuan's funeral, a crazy Su Junye ran her over a car. She didn't know if Su Juyen was apprehended this time. By then, she assumed she died then and was reborn. But before she was reborn, she did find out why Su Minge committed suicide. She found out she was with child and was too shameful to accept the fact that she was abandoned by Lu ShanYuan.

Brother Yuan, Li Mingzhu thought, must have no idea about the child, or else no matter how grandpa Lu might insist on the wedding, he would never marry her. He would be responsible for Su Minge.

But now, here she is, 18 years old again. All those past events that happened to her didn't happen yet. Now her Brother Yuan is asking her if she needs him to accompany her to her college registration.

"Are you alright Mingming? Why are you in a daze?" he asked, laughing at the dumb expression on her face.

Last life, she was jumping excitedly, clamoring at her Brother Yuan's attention. She wouldn't pass the chance of having him help her. Afterward, they would go out and have lunch together. He was always good to her.

But this time... this time she is reluctant. She had caused so much trouble for her Brother Yuan. 3 innocent people died because she insisted on her pursuit of happiness. She was selfish.

She looked down at her hand, thinking... she could not afford to be selfish anymore. Her heart is aching. In the end, in this world, she is all alone. She can't impose on other people's affection towards her.

With a sigh, she looked at Lu ShanYuan and said "Brother Yuan, I think I am old enough now. I can manage on my own..."
