The day she died was the day she finally realized that her detachment and cowardice were her biggest mistakes. That those were the reasons she lost everything. "If time will turn back its hands, I will no longer just watch. I will return everything in its rightful places. I will control my own fate." These were her thoughts as the reel of her life played, as the poison coursed in her body reminding her of her incompetence, of her inaction, burning all of her resistance and detachment. And then she opened her eyes once more. She was back. This time she will make sure that she won't lose anything or anyone. Including a certain smiling devil who is really good at kissing. --------------------- This is an Original story and not a translation.

Chapter 1Her Murderer

"You're here."

Yan Qing Shan greeted her murderer who entered the hospital room. Her back was turned at the door but she knew, by the sound of the footsteps approaching, who it was. Qing Shan coldly glanced at the woman who sat at the visitor's chair.

"Seems like you were expecting me? How surprising."

The woman answered. Her tone laced with ridicule.

Qing Shan turned her back to her and faced the window, a sneer on her lips.

"I knew you were coming. You're here to finish me off. After all, you didn't expect for the poison to be intercepted. You've been waiting for this for a long time now, stepmother. Or should I say, aunt Ming Hua."

Qing Shan replied in her usual cold, detached voice. Yes. Her usual voice. The voice which had pushed everyone away. The voice which had her father and brother to worry for her leading to their loss. The voice which had intrigued the devil who imprisoned her. The voice that had now driven her to death.

No. Wrong. It wasn't her voice. It was her, herself. Her passivity. Her detachment to all things. That is what led her to this point.

"Oh? So you knew? I see that you're not that stupid after all." was the reply Ming Hua gave her.

Aunt Ming Hua was her mother's twin sister. Qing Shan's mother, Ming Yue, died in a vehicular accident when she was five. Her father, whose world was her mother, was devastated. Zhao Ming Hua, who was secretly in love with her brother-in-law took it as an opportunity to get close to him. With their identical looks and temperament, it was inevitable that her father succumbed to her. But she knew. Yan Qing Shan knew that it was only in looks that Zhao Ming Hua was identical to Zhao Ming Yue. Where her mother was sweet, kind, and gentle; Ming Hua was malicious, envious, and harsh. Her sweet temperament was merely an act to bait her father with. This was a fact that she had confirmed when she was seven. A fact that was magnified even more when her half sister, Yan Xiaoyi was born. At that time, she wanted to tell her father. But she saw that he was happy with her. Qing Shan couldn't bear to shatter the smile her father had regained. So she kept it from everyone. But the image of a harmonious family that they had projected made her heart grow cold. Even when she had tried to bridge the distance and get close to them, she couldn't even take a step closer.

Qing Shan tilted her head to face the woman who has her mother's face but was twisted with hate towards her. Her own blood related aunt. She smiled ruefully.

"I knew. I have known since the start that you have been trying to put me out of commission. Not just that. I also knew you were behind my brother's divorce. I knew that you plan to trick father into giving the entire company to Xiaoyi. I'm going to die. And you have made sure that my brother is too out of it to properly function and interfere with your plans. You can't kill him because he's the only son but as for me, you're very much free. In the end, you just wanted everything mother has. It's a pity though, you'll never be Zhao Ming Yue. You'll never surpass her even if you take everything that is meant to be hers."

She matter-of-factly said. A trace of astonishment flashed within Ming Hua's eyes but was instantly replaced with fuming rage.

"Bitch! So what if you knew? You didn't do anything about it anyway. You're useless. You're just a coward, Yan Qing Shan. But thanks to that, everything will be my Xiaoyi's. Even your husband. I may not surpass Ming Yue but she's dead. The same goes for you. Both of you lost."

Zhao Ming Hua laughed at her mockingly. She stared at the woman with her usual detached look. As if what she was saying did not involve her. But deep within her heart was a raging turmoil. Her heart constricted painfully at those words. Regret was pouring through every vein in her body. Even more so when the woman in the visitor's chair brought out a little bottle.

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

This is what happened in the first 5 chapter, so no major spoiler. To put it simply, this makes a mockery of women that detach themselves in situations of abuse where there is no way out. Detachment is a way of coping. She gets abused for not being okay with being kidnapped and denied her freedom and general liberties. She dies being detached all her life and suddenly she has all these plans and energy to do stuff when reincarnated... something completely out of character for someone that has always been passive. Change is hard. You can’t go 0 to 100 and say it’s because she rebirthed. So, character development is meh, especially since there is the victim blaming. The “it takes two to tango” bull where she justifies her captor. The idiom is not applicable as she is only in a situation where her response to a forced situation illicits favorable or abusive reactions. This is like how you discipline a farm animal. You have all control and manipulate and play with it for your satisfaction. It’s not a situation where two people are doing the “tango.” I hate to pit it this way, but while someone like her might have regrets, that does not mean she would want to relieve her life more than be dead. Passiveness comes from unwillingness to adapt and move on, it comes from general lack of motivation in life. Someone like her was basically clinically depressed and magically becomes an active teenager that wants to be up in everybody’s business along with her own. This is HARD fiction. It lacks reason and logic and is in the same space as fanfic, where you really have to struggle to make it seem plausible.
