Chapter 1 The Beginning

  • Yang Yuting was dead.
  • As the ancestor of the cultivation world, she sacrificed her divine soul to save the world and all beings.
  • When she opened her eyes again, she felt like she was soaking in warm water.
  • There was a glimmer of light up ahead.
  • And faintly, she could hear, "Inhale … Exhale … "
  • "Madam, push harder. We'll see the baby's head soon."
  • Yang Yuting barely had time to react before she was swept away by the warm water, finding herself in a flood of bright light that made her squint.
  • She tried to say something but realized her throat was gripped tightly.
  • There was a loud crash as someone collapsed to the ground.
  • "Madam, it's a girl, but … " The midwife's words came out hesitantly, almost stuttering.
  • Then, with a sigh, as if resigned to a sad truth, "The baby doesn't have a heartbeat. She's stillborn!" The midwife knelt shakily on the ground, covering Yang Yuting's mouth and nose tightly with her hands.
  • "It's probably because the labor took too long, and the baby couldn't breathe," the old nanny said, kneeling behind the midwife with tears in her eyes.
  • Looking pale and now even more scared and upset, the lady on the bed widened her eyes in disbelief. "A stillborn? I don't believe it! Bring her over here quickly. Let me see!"
  • The maid beside her, her eyes red from crying, pleaded, "Madam, please don't look. Once you see, you'll never forget it, and you'll never be able to get over it."
  • "I'm sorry, Mingrui. I let the people of the Yang family down. Old Madam prays for the child's safety every day in the little shrine." She had three sons and only one daughter.
  • Zhang Ling couldn't stop her tears, her face full of anguish.
  • Yang Yuting's breathing quickened, her face turning red from being covered.
  • Mingrui? Yang family?
  • Yang Mingrui?!
  • Isn't that the character I read in the novel during my free time?
  • In the novel, the Yang family, known for their loyalty and bravery, had a wife who gave birth to three sons and one daughter, but sadly, the youngest daughter passed away early.
  • Zhang Ling believed she had a happy marriage and good relations with her mother-in-law, but little did she know that it was all a huge lie from the start!
  • She has deceived her entire life!
  • Yang Mingrui had been in love with his cousin since childhood, but he never married her because her family was of low social status and wouldn't benefit his career.
  • Instead, he kept her elsewhere.
  • He married Zhang Ling, a high-born woman, and they had three sons and a daughter together.
  • After marriage, the whole family manipulated her, using the Zhang family's influence to climb the social leader while forcing her to cut ties with her own family.
  • Their youngest daughter died at birth, so Yang Mingrui let her raise his concubine's daughter as if she were her own.
  • Zhang Ling raised the foster daughter with care, but the foster daughter framed her for treason in the end. Yang Mingrui personally accused Zhang Ling of being involved in her family's treason, leading to the execution of over a hundred members of the Zhang family!
  • Meanwhile, Yang Mingrui and his family were unharmed for their commendable report.
  • Eventually, he married his cousin, and their illegitimate daughter was acknowledged as legitimate.
  • The foster daughter inherited all her property and married the male lead, living happily ever after.
  • Yang Yuting thought, Oh, I'm the baby who died young.
  • Being born was just a death sentence!
  • "Madam, we don't bury stillborn babies in the family tomb. Let me take care of it downstairs to spare you the pain of seeing it," the nanny said, her head bowed, slowly backing away towards the door.
  • Yang Yuting tried to struggle, but she was held tightly, her body turning purple, unable to move.
  • Her breath became weaker and weaker, with a hint of purple appearing on her cheeks.
  • Stillborn? You're the stillborn one! Your whole family is! I'm still alive …
  • Mother ...
  • The faint sound of a baby's cry made the wife of Marquess Yang open her eyes.
