Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Shen Nian floated in the air, ignoring the chaos below, and looked at another ghost in the air, the original owner of this body.

"Is there anything you haven't finished wishing for?"

She was originally the young sect leader of the Guili Sect, a major cultivation sect. However, when the sect was destroyed, her master and senior brother all died and disappeared. She was also imprisoned under that tomb by the enemy who destroyed her sect. Nearly a thousand years have passed since then.

For thousands of years, she has been searching for a chance to return to the world.

This girl not only resembled her in appearance and shared the same fate, but even had the same name, Shen Nian, and possessed an extremely yin constitution, making her the best candidate for her to possess another's body.

Since he was using this girl's body to be resurrected, Shen Nian needed to fulfill her last wish.

Only in this way can she completely relinquish all attachments and enter the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

"I want to... take one last look at my family."

"it is good."

This request is quite common. Shen Nian took the girl's hand and silently recited the incantation for the Qiankun Shift.

The next moment, they appeared out of thin air in a gorgeous and exquisite pink princess room.

Shen Leyao had her head buried in Madam Shen's arms, seemingly having just had a nightmare. Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes, making her look innocent and pitiful.

However, Shen Nian could tell from her face that this seemingly pure and innocent girl was not only vicious but also had more than one life on her hands.

One of them even involved the girl whose body she possessed.

"Mom, I dreamt about that bitch Shen Nian again... Isn't she already dead? Why is she still haunting me like this?"

Upon hearing Shen Nian's name, Madam Shen's face turned cold, revealing a sinister and twisted expression. "She dares to pester you? If it weren't for the master saying that her destiny is special and can protect you from disaster, how could she have enjoyed eighteen years of carefree life in the Shen family? She would have starved to death on the streets long ago."

"Don't worry, baby, her destiny and fortune are now yours. Your life will get better and better, while she will rot and stink in hell and never be able to turn her life around."

"Is this the last time you'll see... your 'family'?"

Shen Nian glanced at the girl, her tone sarcastic.

The girl just stared blankly at everything in front of her. Finally, she closed her eyes, and a tear of blood slowly slid down her cheek.

"So they adopted me just to have me take the blame for Shen Leyao."

"Oh, I see."

From childhood to adulthood, the daily beatings and humiliations, the frequent solitary confinement, and the fact that she had to fight with dogs for leftovers...

They had adopted her, yet they had never shown her a single bit of warmth or love. Now all of this made sense.

It turns out that she was just a tool to shield Shen Leyao from disaster.

She always thought that it was because she hadn't done well enough that her adoptive parents and siblings didn't like her.

So she tried her best to please them and tolerated everything. Even when Shen Leyao led the school to bully her, Shen Nian never said a word. She just wanted the Shen family to like her a little more.

Even when Shen Leyao tried to kill her, she still did not fight back.

I just want to ask why.

Why did she do that? Did she do something to upset them again?

Now she finally knows why.

"They are not my family. They weren't before, and they never will be."

The pain faded from the girl's eyes, leaving only a strange determination.

"Didn't you ask me if I had any unfulfilled wishes?"

"I want the Shen family to suffer a fate worse than death—I want them to pay back everything they stole from me, penny by penny, with interest. The higher they stand now, the harder they will fall in the future."

"If you can do all this, from now on, you will walk in the world in my place, you will be me."

Shen Nian raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, then, deal."

She curled her lips into a slightly eerie smile.

She was already dressed in a deep red ancient costume dress that clashed with the gorgeous princess room decor around her. Her waist-length black hair was draped behind her, and the extreme black and red contrasted with her snow-white, almost inhuman face. When she smiled now, she looked exactly like a vengeful ghost in red who had come to claim a life.

"Then, this is the first big gift I'm giving to the Shen family."

As soon as she finished speaking, streaks of dark gray shadows emerged from her sleeves, instantly filling the cozy pink princess room.

Upon closer inspection, each of those gray shadows was terrifying; some were headless, some were blind, some had swollen, blue faces, and some had long, bluish-purple tongues sticking out.

Each one is a vengeful ghost who died with resentment.

Evil people like the Shen family are the most attractive to vengeful ghosts.

Madam Shen had already left, and Shen Leyao, who was on the bed, was just about to go to sleep when she suddenly felt an extremely cold wind sweep by.

A cold wind blew directly against her face and neck, and it felt... as if something was lying on her face, blowing on her.

Shen Leyao opened her eyes in terror and saw the hanged ghost hanging upside down above her bed.

The hanged ghost grinned at her with a sinister smile, and the next moment, a bluish-purple tongue fell out and hit Shen Leyao's face.

"There's a ghost!!!"

Shen Leyao screamed.

After watching for a while as she was terrified, her face turning pale and her screams echoing, Shen Nian turned around and went to the underworld to send "Shen Nian's" soul into reincarnation.

He left behind a rune unique to his sect, firstly as a trace of his presence, and secondly to ask the Ten Kings of Hell to take care of "Shen Nian" so that she could be reborn into a better family in her next life.

After doing all this, she cast a spell and returned to her new body.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met the gaze of the doctor who remained in the ward to monitor her condition.

"Miss Shen! You're awake? Is anything bothering you?"

This Miss Shen is the savior of Young Master Gu, and the doctors at Gu's Hospital also pay close attention to her health.

Moreover, when she was taken to the hospital by the rescue team, she had many fractures and open wounds, and her condition was not good. The doctors were afraid that she would not survive the night.

However, she not only survived the most dangerous period, but also regained consciousness after just one night.

In contrast, although Young Master Gu and the others only had minor scratches, they were still unconscious for some reason.

"I...I'm fine."

Shen Nian waved her hand: "Where are the people I brought out?"

"Still unconscious."

"I want to see them."

The body fell into a coma because the soul left the body, while the group of people fell into a coma because the yin energy in her tomb was too heavy, and there was residual yin energy in their bodies.

If the evil energy remains in a living person's body for too long, their soul will be damaged, and even if they wake up, they will become mentally impaired.

"Please don't move around for now. We have a professional medical team with Young Master Gu, so you don't need to worry."

Shen Nian frowned, nimbly dodging the doctors and nurses who tried to stop her, and cast a lock-picking spell, opening the door to the next ward.
