Su Li had no idea that the space she was in was gradually being ntioned by other beings.
Until now, she still hadn’t figured out the aning of her own existence, just instinctively knowing that trading with these spiritual bodies, whom she called rit Masters, was beneficial for her.
After leaving the previous world, she descended once again into a young, vibrant body.
This gave her a sense of pleasure right away.
Although the body from the small world looked to be in its early thirties when she used it, only she could feel the inner decay and degeneration.
After she left, that body would definitely decay quickly back to its original form.
Thinking about this, Su Li felt even happier.
That rit Master who had once tricked her wouldn’t get the slightest advantage from her.
"What are you laughing at? Did you listen to what I said?"
Su Li blinked and ca back to her senses, only to see this body’s mother looking at her sternly. Seeing that she didn’t respond for a long ti, the wrinkles between her mother’s eyebrows deepened, and her lips puckered into a straight line as she said unhappily, "You can’t make any excuses this ti. I’ve already booked the private room, it’s tomorrow at noon."
"Also, dress nicely, wear the clothes I bought for you."
Saying so, Zhu Zhihua pushed a luxury brand bag in Su Li’s direction.
Then, without waiting for Su Li to reply, she sipped her coffee like she was in a hurry and stood up to leave.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to remind her, "If you don’t co tomorrow, don’t call Mom anymore."
To an outsider, it might seem like the mother and daughter were discussing sothing very important—sothing that could sever their relationship.
Actually, what they were talking about was just an arranged marriage eting the next day.
Su Li touched her own smooth, delicate arm, feeling the full vibe of youth.
The original owner had only been alive for twenty-one years, three months, and ten days until today.
Only a year, three months, and ten days above the legal age for marriage, hardly in a rush to get hitched.
Moreover, she still had a year left until her graduation from university, so she always failed to understand her mother’s urgent thoughts.
If it were just this, it wouldn’t be surprising, as there are many mothers like Zhu Zhihua in such a massive population.
But with Su Li’s appearance now, it indicated that things would not develop beautifully afterward.
In Chaos, Su Li had seen what the original owner looked like later.
She was enveloped in exhaustion and decadence, her body and mind wrapped in despair.
At that ti, she only had one thing to say, "Family, children, kinship... I don’t want any of it. If possible, I hope to be able to truly love myself."
Seeing such a rit Master, the term "depression" instantly popped into Su Li’s mind.
The original owner was not sick from the very beginning; her illness could be said to have been forced out by the people and environnt around her.
From childhood to adulthood, the entire family education she received was from a strict mother and a kind father.
That’s the nicer way to put it; a less kind description would be that the mother was extrely domineering, and the father, with his mild personality, seed rather weak and incompetent.
Thus, in the Su Family, Zhu Zhihua was in charge of everything.
Zhu Zhihua was very strict with her daughter, and the original owner’s personality was inherited from her father—gentle and compliant, always obeying her mother.
But as she grew older and gained more experience, the original owner gradually developed her own personality and opinions, not always obedient to her mother like before.
This caused the relationship between mother and daughter to decline rapidly until it hit rock bottom when it was close to her college graduation.
This originated from Zhu Zhuhua arranging a matchmaking date for the original owner without her consent.
The first few tis, she avoided eting the prospective match, struggling with her studies alone. How could she find ti for matchmaking?
Are n more interesting than studies, or more important than academic grades?
But this ti, Zhu Zhihua issued an ultimatum: if she did not go, the mother and daughter should cease contact.
Truthfully speaking, the original owner did love her mother and did not want their relationship to beco too strained.
So, this ti she agreed to go.
As a result, she brought into her life the most horrific ordeal.
The matchmaking prospect was Wan Shimin, the son of Zhu Zhuhua’s friend. He was average in height and appearance.
Wan Shimin was diocre in every way but was not humble; he had unusually high expectations.
He disdained girls who were not pretty, well-shaped, or who had a bad character....
In this matchmaking session, as soon as Wan Shimin saw the original owner, he took an imdiate liking to her.
Indeed, the original owner’s looks were considered top-tier, a level higher than Zhu Zhuhua’s striking appearance.
Her scholarly aura turned her striking beauty into charm....
Not that the original owner had any interest in romance, but even if she had, she would not fancy a man like Wan Shimin.
She could not understand why her own mother would introduce such a man to her.
It wasn’t until the very end that she learned that Uncle Wan, Wan Shimin’s father, had once been her mother’s first love.
They had not ended up together due to certain reasons and upon reuniting after over twenty years, Zhu Zhuhua, wanting to redy past regrets, agreed to Uncle Wan’s suggestion of pairing their children.
If they could not be a couple, being in-laws would also be fine.
Toxic
This idea was simply toxic.
Regardless, that was what Zhu Zhuhua thought, and she put it into action as if possessed.
But the original owner naturally lacked an inclination toward romance; she did not want to date or marry.
She did not see anything wrong with this mindset, but due to the scrutiny of many, she dared not speak openly about it, let alone discuss it with her parents.
She rembered a neighbor, a sister figure, who, due to being busy with work, had not found a partner even in her thirties, and the unbearable rumors targeted her.
The nosy aunties speculated that perhaps the girl had so issue; otherwise, why wouldn’t she find soone?
Even the neighbor’s family was anxious, forcing her to go on blind dates and then to marry.
It seed that a woman’s happiness was to be found in marriage, childbirth, and managing a household.
That day, the original owner was particularly struck by how heartbroken the neighbor sister was on her wedding day.
She then took her hand and said, if possible, she did not want to marry....
But no one understood her feelings, and she also did not want to distress her parents and loved ones.
At the ti, the original owner did not comprehend the sister’s despair; the scene was rely etched deeply in her heart.
