Su Yun could barely open her eyes, her heart pounding with fear and desperation.

As the weight of her impending doom settled upon her.

Su Yun couldn't help but question why such a tragic fate had befallen her....?

Tears welled up in her eyes as she desperately called out for help, her voice trembling with vulnerability.

'Wh-why is it happening to me?  Please, somebody save me.' Su Yun thought seriously, closing her eyes and leaving this world.

She didn't want to die yet. She wanted to live some more years and, at least, have a family. But her fate couldn't be changed.

Su Yun, a remarkable figure in the business world, crowd paid attention to wherever she went.

With her stunning beauty and genius brain,

she had forged a name for herself as a powerful business tycoon.

Her empire consisted of a prestigious chain of luxury hotels and resorts catering to the elite clientele.

In addition, she had established a high-end clothing brand specializing in exquisite ancient garments.

Drawing inspiration from traditional cultures around the world.

Born into poverty, Su Yun's incredible rise from destitution to unimaginable wealth was a fruit of her hardwork and determination.

Despite her bad reputation, she remained deeply rooted in empathy and compassion.

Known for her charitable contributions to support disadvantaged children.

With her magnetic presence, Su Yun had inevitably attracted the attention and admiration of countless suitors.

 Yet she had always maintained a guarded demeanor, believing that true love was nothing more than an illusory concept.

However, amidst her illustrious career and self-imposed emotional detachment, fate had chosen to intervene in the form of a tragic turn of events.

As Su Yun surveyed her surroundings, her mind raced with regrets and unanswered questions.

How did her life come to this?

And, more importantly, who would come to her rescue in this dire moment?

The weight of her mortality bore down on her.

Making her yearn for just a few more precious years of life and the possibility of starting a family.

Closing her eyes, Su Yun clenched her fists, her face a mask of determination mixed with profound sadness.

Though fate seemed relentless in its cruelty, she vowed to fight until her last breath.

To overcome the dreadful circumstances that threatened to extinguish her vibrant existence.

But she knew she couldn't survive....

Little did Su Yun know that her life was about to take a dramatic turn.

One that would completely alter the course of her existence...

As she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room, and confusion enveloped her.

Questions raced through her mind, uncertainties clouding every thought.

At first, she couldn't comprehend the reality of her situation.

The realization slowly dawned on Su Yun, memories resurfacing amidst the haze.

How could she be alive?

How was it possible that she had been granted a second chance at life?

It was as if her soul had been transplanted into the body of another, a pitiful girl who coincidentally shared her name.

Within this new vessel, Su Yun couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

The amalgamation of two lives created a perplexing dichotomy that she struggled to grasp.

Piecing together the fragmented memories, Su Yun discovered that the original owner of this body had endured a tumultuous upbringing.

The untimely death of her mother had left her father, a woman named Li Pin, to remarry.

However, this union brought about unfortunate circumstances for young Su Yun.

Suddenly, she became invisible, overshadowed by the arrival of Li Pin's biological son. 

Neglected and marginalized, Su Yun was left to manage the household chores, her presence merely an afterthought.

Even when she was sick, no one paid attention to her. She was slowly becoming a gloomy person.

To make matters worse, Li Pin's blatant favoritism became glaringly obvious.

Cooking lavish meals for her own son while Su Yun was left to subsist on meager leftovers emphasized the stark contrast in their treatment.

Li Pin's son, who had been consistently spoiled and indulged since his youth, refused to abide by any rules or boundaries.

His behavior was disgraceful, but people choose ignore that because of his accademy.

He might be a scoundrel but his academic results outstanded his pears. Village teacher praised him all the times.

He was already Li Pin's Apple's eye, now he had became Su Shi's Apple's eyes too.

What nobody could have predicted, however, was that this handsome and seemingly innocent young boy would stoop so low as to engage in inappropriate actions with his own sister.

Eventually, the time came for him to attend school, providing some much-needed relief for Su Yun.

Little did she know that fate had something else in store for her.

To cover the exorbitant school fees, Su Yun's parents made the heart-wrenching decision to sell her.

Unable to endure such a life any longer, Su Yun, overwhelmed with despair, made a desperate decision and hurled herself into the river.

Miraculously, she was saved by a kind-hearted villager who happened to be passing by. 

Some moments later, the door to her confined room creaked open, revealing Li Pin's furious visage.

Without uttering a single word, she seized Su Yun's wrist, forcefully dragging her through the village towards an unknown destination.

Feeble and malnourished after two days of starvation, Su Yun was utterly powerless against the physical strength of a fat and healthy woman like Li Pin.

The villagers, like bees buzzing around a flower, gathered around, morbidly curious yet unwilling to intervene.

It was common knowledge that crossing paths with Li Pin inevitably led them to disadvantage.

Her son, Su Rui, was a scholar; he could become an official in the future. There was no reason to offend Su's family for someone like Su Yun.

Her stepmother was always really greedy, but this is simply outrageous.

But Su Yun didn't have the power to refute her. She felt helpless in being in the center of the crowd.

When they reached the entrance of the village, almost the whole village knew that some drama would happen today.

Already leaving their work to see what Su family's madam will do today.

Li Pin paid no mind to the crowd of villagers, threw Su Yun on the ground, and kicked her legs.

 SuYun tried to protect herself, but it didn't help much. She hissed in pain.

Li Pin grabbed her hair and said angrily, "Bitch! How dare you drown yourself!? You think you can change your fate! You will be sold to Shopkeeper Bao for your own good!"

'Liar! It's not I don't hear the heard the rumors about him' thought Su Yun

Shopkeeper Bao's reputation was quite bad in town. Even in villages, it wasn't considered good.

He is a 68-year-old perverted man. He loves having sex with young and beautiful girls.

He will buy two or three girls a year to satisfy his animalistic desires.

Su Yun tried to free herself from Li Pin, but her strength wasn't enough.

Li Pin's dear friend Xu Chi threw a stick in her feat. She picked up the stick.

Li Pin raised her stick towards Su Yun, and as she was about to beat Su Yun, a young, pale-golden-skinned man came in front of the crowd.

The crowd started mourmour loudly at his arrival. They can't hide the excitement in their hearts.

His name was Shen Yu. His father died of a chronic disease, and his mother soon followed him.

Leaving him to survive alone in this cruel world.

Due to his father's and his father's older brother's family not being separated, he was adopted by his uncle.

Only because his uncle's family was only hungry for his father's piece of land. Which was far from his own fields.

He knew it back then, but he held no power at such a tender age.

He couldn't even protect himself at that time; how could he protect his parents left land?

He couldn't do anything at all.

Everything was good for some weeks, but soon his aunt couldn't keep feces of a good person for too long. She started to show her true colors.

Su Yun's stepmother was annoyed at the young man's disturbance. But I still chose to keep quiet.

The whole village knows that Shen Yu spent four years in the military and has recently returned.

He didn't look promising at first sight. Looking into his cold eyes,it unkowningly made people shudder.

His relationship was far worse than the Shen family's could ever be.

He was sent into military service instead of Aunt Shen's son.

When he came back to the Shen family house, instead of giving a share of the money he earned, he broke his relationship with the Shen family instead.

The Shen family was dissatisfied with him, but he could care less about them. And he came straight to the buzzing crowd.

"What do you want? boy of the Shen household," Li Pin said angrily.

"By all respects, I do not belong to the Shen household. I have already broken up the relationship with that household.. Said Shen Yu with his normal Immotionless look. 

"And how about I offer you a deal?"

Li Pin squinted her eyes at him and said, "What deal?" Her voice was enough to show her dissatisfaction with Shen Yu.

bought"I buy that girl, Su Yun. With the price of seven taels of silver. It's enough, right? For a sickly woman like her",

"I will leave this village anyway to save you the trouble of seeing her every day."

Said Shen Yu.

Villagers got excited, thinking, Why would a cold man like Shen Yu buy Su Yun? Could he be attracted to Su Yun?

Shen village is known as the most shady village near Town Ruhai.

Out of all villages near Town Ruhai village, Shen had the most poor but black-hearted people.

Thus far ruining their image in nearby villages and towns.

Li Pin's heart was a little moved. Her family didn't even know shopkeeper Bao personally, nor did they like him.

But the main thing was that shopkeeper Bao's price was too low—just five taels.

If she wasn't in urgent need of money for his son's school fees, she would have found a better buyer for Su Yun.

If shopkeeper Bai tried to trouble them anyway, they could easily say it was Shen Yu who forcefully brought Su Yun.

Shen Yu's given price wasn't good, considering that a person like Sh Yun could be sold for at least ten taels.

But still, it was better than shopkeeper Bao's offered price.

His husband, Su Shi, also won't feel guilty knowing that Su Yun wasn't sold to an old man but to a young, capable man.

Only Li Pin knows how she made that man bury his feelings for his daughter.

But she can't be blamed for everything, as after all, Su Shi preferred her son over his own blood.

She won't have to see that unlucky star Su Yun's face every day, even if she agrees with Shen Yu, who offers a better price.

Worthing pros and cons Li Pin's heart was moved.

She finally answered. "Fine, then from now on, Su Yun is yours from now on. Now hand the money!"

Whoever Shen Yu knew what kind of person Li Pin was, he took out the extra accessories he brought with himself.

Li Pin was a little surprised when Shen Yu suddenly took out the school's four treasure from his bag.

He started to write something on paper. Everyone watched him curiously.

He finished his work quickly.

Shen Yu suddenly opened his mouth and spoke loudly so the whole village could hear.

"Today on date, 'DAY_MONTH_YEAR' woman Su Yun was sold to Shen Yu by Li Pin and her family."

"From now on, Su Yun doesn't have any relationship with the Su family. Both families will not disturb each other's peace, or we will have to go to Yamen if they cause trouble..

Hearing the name of Yamen, everyone was a little shocked, especially Li Pin.

But soon agreed. What could the unlucky star Su Yun have anyway?

Her boy goes to school and will be in school one day.

People like Sh. Yun will bow to her in the future.

Li Pin and Su Shi signed the agreement.

Soon the villagers left, knowing the drama had come to an end.

Shen Yu picked Su Yun up in bridal style and took her to his donkey cart.

Su Yun tried to resist a little, but in front of a strong man like Ping Yu, a weak woman could do nothing.

Shen Yu softly placed Su Yun in the back cart and started the cart.

Su Yun didn't realize it, but she soon fell asleep in the presence of a man that she didn't even know and was sold to.
