1 Chapter 1- Rebirth

The maids dutifully cleaned every corner of the mansion. Everyone was as busy as always. No one dared to slack off, not with the head butler watching their every move like a hawk. The head butler supervised everything, watching as the maids nervously cleaned. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he began to move on to the west side of the mansion. Passing a room, however, he paused.

The old butler frowns but his eyes held a worried expression as he stared at the closed door. Everyone didn't know what happened, but after the young miss came back from her monthly visit to her mother's grave, she had shut herself in her room. Ever time somebody knocks, she wouldn't answer. They had just taken it that she was asleep at that time. That was until they had tried knocking every two hours or so, and still no answer than. They began to worry. No body could make her come out. Not even the Master and young master. No one wanted to break down the door either as to not upset her, she would become unpredictable then, especially since it was so close to her mother's anniversary. Luckily, she only rarely goes into that state. It has already been three days since then. He then turns towards a young maid to ask, "Has the Young miss come out yet?"

The nervous young maid shook her head hurriedly, "N-no, sir. I h-haven't heard anything from her."

The old butler frowns and knocks politely on the door. "Young miss, have you gotten up?"

After a moment of silence went on. Before the old butler could open his mouth again, a muffled sound was heard from the other side. "I'm up. I'll be out in a while."

With that answer, he turns towards the young maid, "Wait for the young miss to go out. When she does, come inform me immediately."

"Y-yes, sir."

On the other side of the door, a young girl of age 14 stood in front of her full body mirror. Her long black hair was a bit messy from her sleep and she still wore her nightgown. She has flawless white procaine skin and a petite body. Her eyes were emerald green, a trait she inherited from her maternal grandmother who was a foreigner. It made her look quite exotic. All in all, she was a blooming beauty. Anyone could tell she would soon blossom into a world shaking beauty in the future.

Su Liyue stared at the mirror in confusion. She couldn't believe it. She had gone back in time. And by the year and her appearance, she was back to 14 years old, before she went to high school, before her tragedy started, before the Su family's downfall.

Su Liyue closed her eyes as she goes back to what had happened, how she helped those criminals bring down the Su family.

She had thought he loved her. She was the only women in his life and he had treated her like a queen. Because of that, she thought he had genuinely loved her. So for him, she was willing to shoulder her family's disappointment and society's hate. Because of him, she was willing to go against her own brother and take away the heir position. Because of him, she was willing to become a willful and crude women in society's eyes. She did it all for him.

Yet in the end, all she got was a bullet in the chest and betrayal from the one whom she thought loved her and her best friend always stand by her. In the end, all she was was a foolish puppet that played into their hands.

And because of her, her family was ruined. Her brother became a drug addict and her father in jail after being framed by his own daughter!

In her last moments, as she stared at the two's hypocritical faces, she swore. If there was ever such thing as another life, she would have her revenge.

...

The young maid sighed in relief as she saw the door open the young miss finally going out. Su Liyue was dressed in a simple white dress that ended at her knees and white flats. Her long hair was tied up in a pony tail and her whole body extrudes a fresh and youthful aura.

Su Liyue made her way down to the dining room where she knew her father and brother would waiting. The maids opened the door for her she she appeared.

Her breath hitched as she looked at the two people who loved her unconditionally, even after what she had done, even after she had ruined them and their family.

Tears suddenly appeared in her eyes as she found herself running towards the father. She hugs her father's waist tightly as she silently cried.

Su Honghui was startled and nervous as he awkwardly hugs his daughter back. The high and mighty CEO of Su corporation who had the reputation of a cold and ruthless CEO became extremely flustered at the sight of his crying daughter. He desperately looked towards his son, Su Qiqiang for help to which he finds him also with a nervous face as his hands were up but had no idea on what to do. Then both of men in the Su family cast their eyes towards the ever loyal old butler.

The old butler laughs quietly. The Su men were not known to be good with women. In fact, for over the 60 years he had served the Su family, he had never seen a Su man good with women. They always had a cold, stern and stiff expression that he feels it's a miracle that the Sus was able to continue their bloodline. But it seems all the Su women always found those traits in the Su men enduring and cute in their words. The old butler sighs once again at the increasingly glares sent towards his way.

"Young miss, why don't you calm down and tell master and young master what's wrong?" The old butler calmly said with a soft voice.

Su Liyue finally calmed down at the butler's voice. Soon, she was only reduced to a few sniffles but her red eyes and noise made both of the Su men heart ache.

"S-sorry, I-I just miss mom is all. I caused a lot of trouble these few days."

Su Honghui and Su Qiqiang's eyes soften a lot after her answer. In the entire household, the one closest to Fan Mei, Su Liyue's mother was her own daughter. So when Fan Mei passed away, Su Liyue was badly heartbroken. The young nine year old was young, but she knew that she would never see her mother again. Since then, Su Liyue would always go to her mother's grave monthly to visit. No one really stopped and sometime her father or brother would come as well.

"Yue'er, your mother will never really leave. She will always be with you." Her father said.

"True, mother would never let our Yue'er be alone. She's always a strong women." Her brother chimed in.

Su Liyue smiled softly. "You're right. Mm, thanks, dad, big brother."

They are right. She has her family right here. And anyone who wanted to hurt them would have to go through hell and then her to get to them. She won't let anyone take them away from her. That, she promised herself.
