Chapter 1Feng Ning

The night was gloomy.

In the dimly lit room, a young woman sat before a table. Her exquisite face could be seen from the light on her desk lamp. Her dark obsidian eyes were staring straight at the laptop before her, which was filled with a lot of words.

There was no emotion within her expression.

Ring! Ring!

The young woman passed a look at her phone, which rang with unwelcomed melody. Her slender hand took the phone and swipe it up to answer the call.

"What is it?" the young woman asked in a low and unfriendly tone.

"Feng Ning, Cousin Feng Xian will be holding his wedding in a few days. Will you come?" a man's voice could be heard from the phone.

The young woman's expression didn't change. "Oh, I'll see if I have time."

"If you have time? You're just an unemployed young woman! What else are you doing if not wasting…" a woman's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone, barking violently.

"Shut up! Feng Ning, just ignore her. Take care of your health, okay?"

"I'm fine."

Feng Ning hang up and focused her attention back to the laptop before her.

She didn't have any interest in the outside world anymore. Thanks to the recent years of massive lockdown due to the spread of virus, there were various online job that could be found. Finding one, Feng Ning buried herself in her work and cut off her relationship with the outside world.

In this small room, she felt save.

Tapping her slender fingers on the keyboard, Feng Ning focused her attention on the words on the screen. Her jade black eyes reflected the light from the screen.

It was quiet.

Only the sound of typing could be heard.

After some time, Feng Ning stood up and looked at the refrigerator at the side of the room. This room was very small, which meant that all of the equipment was placed in one room aside from the bed.

"I don't have any other food."

Looking at the empty refrigerator, Feng Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

If only time could rewind, she would have treasured her parents and sibling even more. But there was no if. Staying alone in this world, Feng Ning felt like a broken kite that flew with the wind with no direction of her destination.

'I'll go out to find something to eat.'

Walking out of her small room, Feng Ning headed to the lift. Her eyes glanced to the window, looking at the sight of the enormous building that filled the entire area. Added with the brilliant light flashing here and there, it was very beautiful.

But at the same time, it served as a reminder.

She no longer belonged to that world.

Ding!

The lift arrived and Feng Ning entered. She pressed the button number one and waited inside. There were several other people in the same lift as her. Disliking other people's gaze, Feng Ning lowered her eyes after looking at them for a moment.

No one was talking.

*Snap*

Suddenly, they could faintly hear the sound of something snapping and that the lift was swaying before it stopped. The atmosphere grew tenser and they all looked up in worry as the second snapping sound could be heard.

Feng Ning's jet black eyes reflected none of her inner emotion. Probably, she no longer have that so called emotion from the moment she lost everything in this world.

'So, it's my time.'

Closing her eyes, Feng Ning ignored the terrified scream of other people in the lift as they frantically pressed the bell. She crouched on the corner and sat down with her hand covering her head.

She knew that it would be useless no matter what she did because the height to the bottom floor was so high. Having learnt physics, she also knew that trying to jump at the very last moment was also stupid. It wouldn't change anything because within this confined room, the speed at which they were traveling would be the same as the lift itself.

Thus, jumping to reduce the impact was nonsense.

*Snap*

The third one had snapped and the screams and worry became even more frantic. No one wanted to die but in this run down building, how could they expect technician to appear within minutes and solve the problem for them?

Thus, Feng Ning gave up.

Memories flashed by her eyes as she heard the last snap and the lift fell down in accordance to gravity.

'Mom, Dad, Sis, I'll accompany you now.' A bitter smile formed on the corner of Feng Ning's lips.

She missed her family terribly but still strived to live because of her father's words. He wanted her to continue living. But she couldn't forget the past and everything. So when encountering this situation, Feng Ning didn't have the will to think of doing anything.

She closed her eyes as everything turned black due to the impact.

It was quiet then.

'So, will I enter the hell now?'

Feng Ning never thought of herself as a good person. She was selfish and often didn't care for other people around her as long as it didn't affect her. At the same time, she knew how naïve she was when she kept on getting duped by people.

Scammers from phone, bullied by others in class, nearly getting herself killed from trusting a friend she met on the street, and so on.

Her luck was really bad.

Or was it because she was stupid?

Feng Ning didn't know. She looked around her and noticed that she was now outside the building, floating. The sound of screams filled the area. Then there was fire and the people around couldn't even get close.

In this remote and lower priced area, how many security was actually deployed by them?

She relaxed and soon, her vision turned blurry.

Now, would she finally leave this world?

Bang!

Feeling sudden tremor, Feng Ning was stunned. She thought that it would be a peaceful departure, but why did it didn't feel that way? Amidst her confusion, she felt that her body was enveloped in some kind of liquid.

Liquid?

Does Hell or Heaven was this nice?

While Feng Ning was utterly confused, she felt something pushed her out before bright light scorched her eyes. She was shocked and opened her mouth subconsciously as her body inhaled the air.

Then the cry of a baby rang thorough the room.

Venomous Empress Reborn

# scumtorturing # rebirth She was a daughter of the general’s family and a gentle woman. She fell for Prince Ding and offered to be his wife. After supporting him for six years, she became his empress. After risking being a hostage in a foreign country, she returned five years later to find that she no longer had a place in his imperial harem. Lying in his arms, the new consort said with a sneer, “Sis, now that the country is stable, it’s time for you to die.” Her daughter died a tragic death and her son was removed as crown prince. The Shen family had been loyal, but they ended up being slaughtered. Shen Miao never thought that their marriage and mutual support all this while would end up being just an act Prince Ding put on! Prince Ding said, “On account that you’ve been with me for twenty years, I’ll allow you to die with your entire body intact. Now you may thank me and hang yourself to death.” Before she hung herself, Shen Miao made a resentful oath, “When I perish, I will haunt you day and night!” She was reborn as her fourteen year old self when the tragedies had yet to occur and her family was still intact. She was still the delicate and elegant daughter of a general’s family. Her relatives were evil, her cousin sisters were vicious and ruthless, and her aunties were eyeing her possessions. She had to protect her family, take revenge, and get back what belonged to her. In this life, she would be the last one standing! However, the Xie family’s young marquis, an unruly youth, pushed her up against the wall and said arrogantly, “Remember, the world belongs to you, and you belong to me!” The thirteen cities of You State… belong to you. The city of Dingyuan in Mobei… belongs to you. Yuzhou by the Yangtze River, the East Sea of Dingxi, the Green Lake of Lin’an, and Luoyang City… they all belong to you. If they all belong to me, what will you take, Xie Jingxing? Hmm… you. At first, he said impassively, “There has always been a clear distinction between the Shen and Xie family. For the Shen family’s daughter to suddenly show us goodwill, she must have ill intentions!” Then, he said calmly, “We're all on the same boat. Shen Miao, behave yourself. Who would have the audacity to force you into a marriage while I’m around?” After that, he said proudly, “Overthrowing an empire isn’t that hard. My dear, how shall we divide this great piece of land?” Finally, he waved his hand domineeringly. “Sweetheart, dividing them is too much work. Forget it! They’re all yours, and you are mine!” Shen Miao yelled, “Get out!” A domineering empress who was reborn and a young delinquent marquis. Both leads are righteous and they dote on each other.

Sullivan asked in his dangerously low voice. "Huh?" Dahlia froze, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson red. "N-no," she stammered, shaking her head. "Why not? You listened to mine without hesitation," Sullivan saidm "I won't do it again," Dahlia replied quickly. "That's unfair, Lia. You can touch me whenever you want, but I can't do the same? Seems a bit one-sided, don't you think?" he whispered now his lips moved dangerously close to hers. And then, Sullivan lowered his head, he tilted it and rested his side face over her chest, which started pounding like a drum. Sullivan's pupils enlarged, his fingers moving up slightly up to open her closed ones. Dahlia's brain froze, her body involuntarily reacted and her fingers opened slowly. Sullivan intertwined their fingers as he kept hearing the loud beats of her heart. SHE WAS INDEED IN LOVE WITH HIM. ~~~~ Follow me on Instagram: rayoflight_pcy **Cover is mine**

The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Petite Princess VS Rough Khan On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor. After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand. Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top. Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her: Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity... The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan... The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around? Little theater scene 1: One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall. “Why are you avoiding this Khan?” “They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.” “Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?” “But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.” Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things. “The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.” Little theater scene 2: The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun. “Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...” “Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?” Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.
