The improved female villains regained their memories.

The sheer volume of information made her head spin, but the word "marriage" instantly jolted her awake.

She had originally planned to look for Yang Pingsheng, but now she has temporarily cancelled that plan.

She needs to figure out what happened to her during her coma.

-------------

The incarnations scattered, and in the unseen shadows, a tremendous change suddenly occurred.

Ye Buxin stood in the woods, a gentle breeze blowing, and she felt a rare chill.

Her vast memory perspective allowed her to fully understand what had happened over the years, and also forced her to confront one thing.

Yang Pingsheng and Zhou Jinyu got married.

The wedding took place in the capital, and the Qin royal family personally officiated at a royal ceremony.

The person in her memory, the one who said he believed in her, the one who said he would stay with her even in death, chose another person, completely disregarding her sleeping soundly in the secret room.

Haha, that's really funny.

This is absolutely the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha, Yang Pingsheng got married to Zhou Jinyu, hahaha, I woke up to such a great laugh."

She laughed and laughed, but then she couldn't laugh anymore.

As her memories gradually came together, they revealed the true nature of the events to her.

This is true.

-------------

"A true friend is an emotion that transcends everything, isn't that right, my lifelong friend?" Ye Buxin asked.

"Of course that's right." came the affirmative reply.

Because it transcends everything, only one person is allowed.

A person's heart is small; if there is one more person, they can no longer be considered a confidant; if there is one more person, it cannot be said that one is considering the well-being of a confidant.

Ye Buxin's hand was gripping the giant tree beside her.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Click.

Without any magical enhancements, his hand, when he exerted force, was accompanied by a piece of debris, and his hand was covered in blood.

Her face was contorted with rage; she simply couldn't believe that Yang Pingsheng and Zhou Jinyu would be together.

But she had no choice but to believe it.

-------------

Is that person who played the piano gone forever?

Does the person who accommodates you have someone else in their heart?

Has the person who shared the same ideals and aspirations forgotten her?

She entrusted everything to him, fearing that if something happened to her, no one would be there to deal with his shortcomings. She even taught him the most ingenious parts of the method.

But why?

Why!?

Ye Buxin gasped for breath, his blood-covered hands covering his face as he forced himself to calm down.

-------------

Yang Pingsheng, how could you forget, how could you forget?!

-------------

Have you forgotten who your true confidants are?

Have you forgotten who truly understands your aspirations?

Have you forgotten who's standing right beside you?

You clearly have the highest level of affection called a soulmate, so why did you immerse yourself in that degenerate marital relationship?

Has that heart, which can only hold one person, been replaced by someone else?

-------------

After sorting through her memories, Ye Buxin sat under the big tree, remaining silent for a long time.

The night wind in the woods was cold, but it wasn't as cold as Ye Buxin's heart at that moment.

She still remembers the harmonious dance she and Yang Pingsheng shared on the cliff, and the countless conversations they had on nights.

Again and again, it was unforgettable.

But now, he has someone else, a new relationship, and that disgusting woman named Zhou Jinyu has finally squeezed in.

She knew Yang Pingsheng's personality all too well; once he got involved, it was hard for him to sever ties.

Their relationship is no longer pure. Even if she reappears now, Yang Pingsheng will no longer be the Yang Pingsheng who only cares about himself. He has things to do, a monarch to help, and another person he can worry about.

A relationship that is no longer purely platonic will only make Ye Buxin feel nauseous.

Ye Buxin slowly raised her head and looked up at the night sky. The night sky was like a huge black silk ribbon, inlaid with countless twinkling stars. Some of the stars were bright, some were dim, and they formed all sorts of patterns, but none of them could bring her any comfort. The moon hung high in the sky, and its cool moonlight shone on her, draping her in a silver veil, but this veil could not warm her cold heart.

No matter the reason, betrayal is betrayal.

Ye Buxin wanted the purest friendship, just the two of them, no one more.

Following her memory, she saw people's evaluations of him and Fusu. Everyone said that after Fusu left, Yang Pingsheng had been protecting everything for him, even to the point of collapsing from exhaustion and being forcibly taken back by Zhou Jinyu to recuperate.

Ye Buxin found it laughable. It was one thing to be inferior to Zhou Jinyu, but now she was even inferior to Ying Fusu.

He was able to protect everything for Fusu and never back down when he left, but he forgot about his confidant and forgot that there was once a person who was closest to him, lying in the secret room.

He had long forgotten her, so much so that he didn't even notice Zhou Jinyu's scheme.

"You forgot, you forgot, you forgot!!"

Do you think I can't live without you?

"Alright, Yang Pingsheng, I'm telling you, from now on, I will!"

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded in the sky.

The raindrops pattered on Ye Buxin's head.

It's raining.

-------------

Perhaps he has his reasons?

Perhaps, he has actually been paying attention to me all along?

Perhaps something happened on his end too?

The memories she possessed were very fragmented, all from the perspectives of those around them. Perhaps the truth was not like that; Yang Pingsheng didn't care about Fusu and Zhou Jinyu at all. He did this simply to protect himself.

After all, she had attacked the Qin prince, so it wouldn't be surprising if she had died. But she woke up in Fusu's secret room, which meant that Yang Pingsheng had made some kind of deal with them.

Calm down, you need to calm down first.

The rain poured down. Ye Buxin took a deep breath and rubbed her temples. Was it because of the life-swapping? She felt that she had become somewhat agitated since waking up.

She watched the wind and rain rush towards the capital, watched the dark clouds pile up layer upon layer in the sky, and she said to herself:

"I've never been that kind of person in my life."

"According to the memories of the people in the young master's residence, he was initially in charge of things at the young master's residence, but for some reason, he was taken away by Zhou Jinyu. It was definitely not as simple as just collapsing from exhaustion."

“He might be under control. After all, without me, his methods are limited and he can't outmaneuver them.”

"Moreover...moreover, he came from humble origins and doesn't understand royal politics at all. Fusu and Zhou Jinyu may have conspired to set a trap for him."

"I need to stay calm and investigate first. If he is really in danger, then I become our only hope."

She exhaled a breath of stale air and sat down again against the big tree.

Yang Pingsheng will not side with Fusu and Zhou Jinyu.

He must be thinking of me and on my side.

She forced herself to think about it.

Even when faced with the truth, she was unwilling to easily believe that her confidant had betrayed her.

-------------

“Pingsheng, let’s not concern ourselves with these things anymore, okay? You’ve done your best and you’ve done right by your senior brother. We won’t fight with them anymore. The Xiangliu clan’s demonic energy is too domineering. If this continues, Pingsheng, you’ll die young.”

"So be it if we're going to be purged. Senior Sister, your influence is still there. Even if the Wang family sides with the Li family, the Meng family will still support us."

"Ping Sheng, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Meng residence to find Meng Ying."

The sparrow fluttered its wings, carrying back the conversation between the two.

During the time Ye Buxin was monitoring the residence, she gradually came to understand the current political situation.

Seeing this, she could no longer deceive herself.

Yang Pingsheng was serious; he genuinely wanted to help Su.

He didn't even mention Ye Buxin, who had fainted.

A cold wind rustled through the trees.

Ye Buxin looked up at the sky, his face expressionless, neither sad nor happy.

"Yang Pingsheng, I am very disappointed in you."

I am disappointed that he has forgotten his confidant, and I am disappointed that he actually risked his life for Fusu.

How could she not be disappointed, how could she not be heartbroken?
