After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
Calista looked at the person calling out to her and after recognizing her, she suddenly smiled lightly, making her face shine.
When the other party saw her, she couldn't help but blush and said, "I am sorry for making you wait, but if you don't mind, can you join our table?" volunteering to provide a seat for her.
When Calista heard that, she raised her brows puzzlingly as if wondering why the other party was being generous and the other party seemed to have noticed.
"You don't have to think much about it. I just want to make friends. I hope that you don't mind," the other woman said hurriedly, explaining herself.
When Calista heard that, a smile blossomed on her face as she squinted.
'Knock and the doors shall open! Is that what they meant? But I didn't even knock, but either way, this looks good. Will save me the trouble of finding them myself!' she thought amusingly to herself as she nodded to the other party.
