Chapter 5 Verification by My Majesty_1

System: [...]

Leaving a ghostly souvenir, huh.

Ming Ge twirled out a small gold tube, the bright and delicate true red color, writing a line of words on the man's white shirt—

In the end, Ming Ge casually tossed away the lipstick she had ruined, rummaged around, and finally pulled out a red coin from her entire body, slapping it on the man's chest.

After playing god, Ming Ge glanced at the man in the dark, his handsome contour faintly visible,

"Bye-bye~"

Goodbye, the first man in her two lifetimes...

-

A few minutes later, Ming Ge got into a taxi, reported her address, and when she realized she was utterly penniless, she felt immense regret.

Would it still be possible to go back and demand the hundred yuan now?

Fortunately, the kind-hearted taxi driver said he wouldn't charge her and even kindly asked if she needed to go to the police station to file a report...

Firmly refused by Ming Ge.

What a joke.

Of course she couldn't go to the police station!

Upon reaching her destination, the taxi driver gave Ming Ge a sympathetic look as she got out of the car.

Ming Ge was baffled.

Thinking it over, she finally concluded: the taxi driver must be... crazy, huh?

He felt sympathy for her, who had just taken a royal ride without paying?

Ming Ge: As a beautiful girl like myself, I really don't get you.

As an adult, Ming Ge had a falling out with Yin Ruowei and her mother and insisted on moving out to live on her own.

Her old man, helpless to resist her, ended up taking out half of his savings and in Imperial City, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, he set her up with a piece of private property registered in her name.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from the issue with Yin Ruowei and her mother, the old man never shortchanged her.

Once, Ming Ge didn't understand.

Later, when she finally realized, it was too late—her parents were gone before she had the chance to take care of them.

Even this place...

Had to be sold by her, too.

Everything left to her by the old man, the real estate, the car, the company... eventually nothing was left.

Luckily,

Heaven gave her a chance to start over.

Ming Ge took a deep breath, her crimson lips revealing a hint of a smile, her slender white fingers entered the code, twisting open the door.

The decor was lavish, alien yet familiar.

It's been ten years.

Ming Ge wasn't one for dwelling on the past; rather than whimpering about memories, what she wanted to do right now was—have a lovely bath.

Entering the bathroom, she looked in the mirror.

She was frightened: "What the hell?"

Who was the disheveled, untidy, makeup-smudged woman in the mirror?

[It's you.]System chuckled.

Ming Ge: mmp...
