Halfway up Sunset Mountain, a woman's angry roar could be heard from within the bushes, "All I need is to find a man! Who says I can't?"
She was fuming. She was like riding a man in the middle of bushes where the weeds were about waist-high, ruffling because of her movements.
The man, who was pressed under her, had a cold expression on his face. There was also a strong killing intent in his eyes.
Seeing that, the woman, Su Zhaodi, stretched her hand out to lift the man's chin and smiled proudly.
"Ji Ming, I am a beautiful woman. I have given you everything. Why are you still treating me like this? Are you still unsatisfied with me? You have to be responsible for your actions!"
Truth be told, she was not as beautiful as other women. There was a black spot on her left cheek which covered one third of her face. Her facial features were not exquisite. In addition, she was like a bumpkin.
On the other hand, the man beneath her had thick eyebrows and big round eyes. He had handsome facial features.
At that moment, he made eye contact with something behind the woman, as if trying to warn her for a moment. However, his eyes then became calm again. He watched as the python that was slithering behind her bit down on the woman's neck. Soon after, her entire body collapsed onto the male's body.
Ji Ming took a deep breath and shoved the woman's body aside. He stood up with the help of the tree and straightened his clothes. Then, he bent down and picked up the axe and the bow. He turned around and looked at the woman lying on the ground, her clothes in disarray. She seemed to be dead. His eyes were cold and stern as he tightened his grip around the axe in his hand before letting go. He staggered to the side and threw the coarse cloth shirt that the woman had thrown aside casually on her body, walking away.
At dusk, a wild dog appeared beside the woman's cold body. It sniffed the body a few times and tilted its head in disgust. Then, it walked around the body a few times, as if it did not know where to bite.
As the wild dog got closer, Su Luoli finally figured out what was going on. She had been reborn.
She had been the legitimate daughter of the Duke Anning Manor of Capital City. Her name had been Infanta Liuli and she was the Empress' younger sister. She was only 16 years old and had been the most powerful person in Capital City.
Of course, she was not famous for her talent and beauty. Instead, she was known for being ignorant, shameless, and vicious. She was a scourge who caused great trouble and suffering to the people of Capital City.
It was said that as long as she saw a handsome childe, she would pester and flatter him. It was said that she had kept a group of men and often fed them all kinds of poisons for her own entertainment.
A young imperial censor, who had gone to the imperial court to accuse her, had been dismissed by the empress. After that, he disappeared. It was said that he was captured by Su Luoli to become another member of her harem.
Thinking back to the days when everyone wished her dead, Su Luoli just sneered. She thought to herself, "Stupid people only know how to listen to the rumours."
She slowly sat up and turned her head to look at the wild dog that was about to bite her.
"I suggest that you leave if you don't want to die. I don't want to kill anyone as soon as I come back to life."
The wild dog had no idea what was going on either. After looking at Su Luoli for a while, it turned around and left. As expected, the dog was also afraid of the wicked.
Su Luoli raised her hand and looked at her body. She frowned unhappily upon realising that the body was thin and frail. It was as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She knew she would not be able to seek revenge in such a state.
A strong look of hatred suddenly flashed across Su Luoli's eyes, causing her eyes to quickly turn bloodshot.
The heart-wrenching screams from the Duke Anning Manor continued to echo in her ears. Her eyes were filled with killing intent. At the age of 18, Su Luoli was charged with colluding with the rebels in the Duke Anning Manor. Her entire family was executed. Those who did not obey the orders were killed on the spot. The Empress, Su Luoqing, was also sentenced to death in the palace. She was stripped of her position as the Empress and was sent to the Cold Palace.
