Chapter 1: Pain and Regret

A woman sat in front of a mirror combing her hair. It was once long and shiny but now it was dull and brittle. Her skin was ashen white. She gazed at the television behind her through the mirror and laughed bitterly.

When she first arrived in this world, she thought she could do it. Have her happy ever after. She was once the richest CEO in the country but now she was in this shabby old room living in poverty.

Bai Jihai....Bai Jihai took everything away from her! If she could reincarnate, she will never let him off! Not after what he had done! He betrayed her and married the bane of her existence, Shen Mengqi!

"Chunlan, you have to eat something, this can't go on. It has been five days now. Please eat." Her best friend, Su Menxiang's voice was hoarse.

"Its okay, I am not hungry." She touched her sunken cheekbones, trailing her fingers across her face gently.

"Please, eat. After the abortion, you haven't eaten anything substantial. Do you want to die?!" Meixiang started crying.

Before she could relent, the door opened. A woman in her mid twenties stood in front of them, her hair tied into a bun. Her makeup was done intricately, making her appealing and elegant. But beauty can't hide a person's evil soul.

"Shen Mengqi, what are you doing here!" Her eyes turned cold.

Shen Mengqi smiled and sat on a chair, crossing her legs. "I will be going back to Australia with Jihai, and I wanted to talk to you before we went."

"In your dreams!" Menxiang stood up angrily.

"Please give us a moment." Chunlan coughed lightly.

After a moment of hesitation, Menxiang finally left. After the door closed, Chunlan turned around to face the lady. She too, had some words for her.

"Talk." Chunlan spat out.

"I came to convince you to give Jihai back the shares you owe him for buying Starlock from Wen Honglin. After what you have done to him, surely you can do that much?"

"After what I did to him?" Chunlan laughed hysterically. "Mengqi, did you hit your head? I will never give you those shares."

Mengqi stood up angrily, banging the table in front of her. "TANG CHUNLAN! Are you still a human being? After what Jihai did for you, have you ever treated him fairly? Tell me Chunlan, you were married to him for six years do you even know his favorite color? What he likes to eat? Do you even know his allergies? When he needed you the most to believe in him, you didn't. This is your retribution."

Chunlan clenched her fists as her heart turned cold. "Mengqi, your self righteous act isn't going to work on me. If that is all you have to say-"

"Chunlan do you know, the night you caught him and I in bed that he was drugged? Yes, I drugged him. He pleaded and begged you to believe him yet you betrayed him. You aborted his twins." Mengqi laughed coldly.

"W-what?"

"If you still have a heart, give him those shares. You know they belonged to his mother." Shen Mengqi stood up and closed the door.

"Shen Mengqi! Come back here! Explain yourself!" She stood up quickly and rushed to the door as it closed in front of her face. Numbly, she fell to the floor.

"Chunlan, what happened? Why are you on the floor?" Menxiang rushed to her and helped her to sit on the bed. "Drink this."

Chunlan raised her head and drank the glass of water. After drinking, she put the glass on the side table and called Mexiang over.

"Menxiang, please help me find out where Jihai is. I need to talk to h-" she suddenly felt a surge of pain overtake her entire body. Her throat hurt and her head was split into two. Finally her lungs couldn't take it and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Menxiang. What did you give me?" She panicked and gazed at her friend whose eyes had turned cold.

"A taste of your own medicine. Chunlan, don't blame me. I trusted you and defended you from the whole world, we had shared weals and woe together! Yet, you snatched the only man I love, Wang Qishen! You never firmly rejected him neither did you tell him who was the owner of the satchel was! Chunlan, anyone who trusts you and wholeheartedly loves you is bound to suffer! So just die, Tang Chunlan!" Tears of misery rolled down Menxiang's cheeks.

As her vision blurred, Chunlan wondered, was she really that bad in everyone's eyes? Did she really do everything wrong this time?

With one last breath, her heart was filled with pain and regret.
