5 Chapter 3 - New Beginning

I carefully accept all the memories of the original host and decide to assume my new identity. I am no longer a killing machine but a noble lady.

Fortunately I am to be married.

This body is only of a 15 year old girl.

The skin is yellowish, but much softer than any silk I have ever touched; also flawless. Even though this body is nothing but skin and bone, it doesn't diminish the perfect proportion of the body. Just a little meat and it will become graceful beyond compare no wonder my half siblings are envious to death. No matter what torture or making me starved for days; the quality of the skin doesn't lessen.

As I slowly study her body, the two maids are confused. They dont understand what it is that I was doing? As if it is not my own body.

But they know there is something odd. The surprised look on their faces said it all. The mistress doesn't cry and pity herself like she usually does.

They also cannot detect any grievance, only calmness like a person who has overcame numerous trials in life. Their mistress has drastically changed, but it is better this way. It was pitiful to witness all the tragic events that their mistress experienced. They cannot do anything but to endure their grievance and wait for the right opportunity .

"Very satisfying body..." I said to myself. But the moment I touch the left side of my cheek. I knew there is something wrong.

"Mu Jin... quickly get me a bucket of water"

"Right, away mistress"

"Jin Zan... Go outside and guard the door See to it that nobody will disturb me."

"Yes mistress"

Before they go out and fulfill their assigned task. They cant help but to look at each other and held a mysterious smile. It seems that I was really different, giving an order without hesitation, like the man above the others. Their smiles made me wonder why they did not hesitate and welcome this change so quickly.

As I wait to the bucket of water, I hear a woman outside of my door. Her voice is very seductive; words are like lullabies that can sooth any man's heart and very familiar…

I smile mockingly. Who else would it be but the very kind hearted concubine of my good father, gentle as her voice but disguised her wicked heart, Yun Qing.

"Where is Su Qian Meng? I heard she collapsed?"

"Greeting Yun yiniang Mistress is still in bed and needs rest for 3 days"

"She is still breathing?... Good... But the Duan wangfu can no longer wait for 3 days. Tell your mistress she need to continue the ceremony tomorrow morning... Whether she likes it or not." Her voice full of arrogances and she left immediately after.

"Mistress." Jin Zan said calmly but I can tell the sadness in her voice.

"It is alright... I can manage, one day of rest is enough... We cannot afford to make this Prime Ministers fu lose face." I coldly say.

What can I expect from my so called family? Even my father doesn't bother to visit me after my accident. I can tell my two trusted maids were the one who called the doctor to examine me.

They are more concerned about the wedding than the health of the eldest daughter.

My eyes full of hatred, this moment will be paid. Slowly I will make them pay and wish they were dead. I will make them beg in front of me. That is the only way I can pay the grievance that the original host put in the deepest part of her soul and body.
