After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Lu Sheng didn't know how long she had been asleep.

When she opened her eyes, she only found herself in a vast white darkness.

Yes, a vast white darkness.

Looking around, all she saw was boundless black in the distance. Yet a hazy white mist enveloped her, preventing her from seeing what lay at the end of the darkness.

Lu Sheng slowly sat up from the ground, shook her muddled head, and vaguely recalled the events before she lost consciousness.

She remembered that You Yi, at her request, used the soul-devouring nail to strike the heart of the Red Fox, and the Red Fox dissipated smoothly.

However, in the next second, her own heart was hit with intense pain. It was as if something was also dispersing, and soon after, she lost consciousness.

——What happened?

Where is she now?

Lu Sheng couldn't tell if the place she was in now was illusion or reality, so after recovering from dizziness, she began to move forward, wanting to walk to the end of the darkness to find an exit from here.

However, she walked and walked without knowing how long it had been.

Wherever Lu Sheng went, the scenery around her was no different from when she first awoke, even making humans speak of ghostly walls more despairing.

She couldn't feel tired, couldn't feel sleepy, couldn't even feel the passage of time.

It was as if she was in a chaos that had no end.

Lu Sheng thought she might be dead.

Maybe the Red Fox used some means on her, so that before dying, he threatened her that way. The Red Fox dissipated, causing her to dissipate as well.

She couldn't understand why she still had consciousness. Perhaps a wisp of her residual soul hadn't dispersed, so she could only wander in this chaos.

Unable to find an end, later Lu Sheng simply stopped walking.

In this darkness and whiteness where only she existed, she sat down, thinking of many people.

If her body suddenly died like this, it would make many people sad.

Jiang Ting genuinely treated her like a daughter. Before coming to Beijing, she said she would bring gifts for Jiang Ting when she returned home... The gifts could no longer be delivered; hopefully, Jiang Ting could forgive her broken promise.

Would her brothers cry?

The eldest brother probably wouldn't, since he was the most stable member of the family. The second brother might get red-eyed; he always seemed indifferent, but his heart was softer than anyone else's.

The third brother and Fourth Brother... Fortunately, while she was still around, she healed their childhood traumas and ailments. Even without her, they would live well.

As for the Fifth Brother, he would probably cry terribly. Usually, he's a little crybaby; this time... he might cry uncontrollably. But in time, he'd surely recover from the grief.

Grandfather's health hadn't been fully restored yet. But with the prescription she provided, the aunt should take good care of him. At least, with the Red Fox and that green fox dead, the family wouldn't have any more trouble.

Oh, right, the Red Fox was dead; has Shi Yuwei awakened?

Though she could no longer see, if Shi Yuwei could wake up, it meant her previous efforts weren't in vain.

To Shi Muchuan, that's his real sister; he should be very happy.

Lu Sheng also recalled, Shi Suyu sent her a message that day, saying he wanted to meet her when he returned to Beijing in a few days. In hindsight, she should never have agreed, now there's another broken promise.

The Shi Family's third brother Shi Xiche, she hadn't met yet. Originally thinking that meeting him later, she'd also apologize to him on behalf of her mother, but now it looks like there's no opportunity.

Also, that uncle abroad Shi Wenjing, her mother's only brother, she wondered what kind of person he was.

Hopefully Lan Yu and Han Jing can be together smoothly. They've enrolled in the same university, and Han Jing still has many opportunities in the future to express his feelings, surely he'd enlighten Lan Yu.

And Huo Yu. Hope after entering university, he can be happier, not encase himself in gloom and keep outsiders away.

She had initially thought of visiting Gu Siyu before school started. Wondering if her situation at the Gu Family had improved a bit.

In the end, she never told Meng Lin that the person who had been in contact with her all these years was actually her. But that's for the best.

This way, Meng Lin can entrust her feelings to Bai Wei and protect Bai Wei from now on. That's the only thing she can do for Bai Qiang who died.

And Lu Sheng's master Feng Guolin... Although she reported her safety to him every month, she hadn't truly met him. There would be no chance anymore.

Lu Sheng hadn't fantasized about her own death.

Or considered one day, for some reason, she might have to separate from that body.

But she had never imagined, not in her previous life nor before, that she would have so many attachments and regrets.

She never thought that death could be this painful.

What pained her most was Li Muchen.

She didn't even dare to think about how Li Muchen would react upon seeing her dead.

She knew Li Muchen too well.

Perhaps time could heal many people's pain, but Li Muchen would never move on because of the passage of time; he wouldn't forget her.

Just thinking about how Li Muchen would be in more pain than she, her heart felt as if it was being scorched by fire.

Making her almost unable to breathe.

Yet she felt self-destructive as if she deserved it.

She was never human; she was the most despised demon. Except for Li Muchen, every other person's love was stolen using Lu Sheng's and Bai Qiang's identities.

Stolen things were meant to be returned.

But Li Muchen... what should she do.

She knew he wouldn't recover, but she could no longer go back; what should she do?

She was too greedy. Even knowing she was a demon, she still coveted sincere human emotions, believing a lifetime would last like that.

It was all but a dream; even if she herself suffered, she'd passed the pain onto so many dear people, especially the man she loved most since gaining consciousness, burdening him with eternal loneliness.

Lu Sheng had never considered herself a weak person, and at this very moment, the only thing she could do was to accept her death.

Why was there still a wisp of residual soul? If she couldn't return, she might as well let it all end completely.

Lu Sheng thought for a long time. In the end, she lay on the ground, closing her eyes.

Everything around her was too silent, and the darkness seemed ready to swallow her in a daze.

Yet just as her consciousness was gradually blurring, a deep sigh seemed to suddenly reach her ears——

"My child..."

...My child?

Is this voice calling for her? The voice is so distant, like an illusion.

Lu Sheng opened her eyes in confusion, yet everything around her remained unchanged.

However, the next moment, she suddenly saw a golden light orb floating in front of her out of nowhere.

This is...

Lu Sheng had no time to react, as the golden orb directly flew towards her heart and fused into it!

"I..."

The sentence didn't even finish.

She gasped, tilting her head back as the orb burned into her heart like a scorching flame.

Yet in the next moment, countless powers and memories erupted from her heart like a fierce tide crashing down.

"Ah—"

Everything around her began to shake like an earthquake, causing Lu Sheng to curl up on the ground clutching her heart.

She cried out in pain, but the tremors around her grew more intense, as if they were trying to shatter her.

"No... No..."

—

She didn't know how long had passed.

Things finally settled into silence, as if everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

The girl lying on the ground slowly opened her eyes.

Revealing a pair of crimson pupils.

Those red eyes were deep and silent, like a pool of stagnant water without ripples.

When she raised her eyes to the surrounding darkness, the boundless chaos suddenly dissipated.

In front of her was no longer a void of darkness, but an abruptly appearing picturesque scene—

Towering mountains, waterfalls, valleys, clear springs.

Burning sun, shaded woods, flora, and fauna.

Warm and gentle, dreamy and surreal, the realm yearned by the Six Realms.

A breeze brushed across the girl's face, she gently raised her hand, allowing a fluttering red butterfly to land intimately on her fingertip.

The girl showed no expression, her gaze moving away from the butterfly.

She stood up, her bare feet stepping on the soft, dry grass, walked towards the nearest stream.

There was no one around.

The sound of the stream was soft, clear enough to see the bottom. The girl looked down at the reflection of a figure in the water.

Black hair cascaded down to her waist, she wore a clean, soft pure white long-sleeve nightgown. The dress reached her knees, her feet were bare.

This was an incomparably beautiful face, one favored and meticulously sculpted by the creator.

Features so refined they seemed painted. Cold brows, crimson eyes. A high nose with lightly pink lips beneath.

Such perfection, inviting closeness, yet the indifferent expression was aloof, unattainable.

It had been too long since she saw this face.

The girl raised her hand, her fingertip touching her own face—

Not Bai Qiang, not Lu Sheng, not anyone else's face.

It was her own.

She never thought she could awaken again.

The girl looked up, gazing towards the dreamlike realm's distance. She could see a towering building reaching into the clouds. The peak of the building obscured within the clouds.

Li Zhi, Ling Yue, Yu Si, Wu Mian, Ning Yu.

... And Tan Yuan.

These people, sealed in memory, carrying past events, appeared before her one by one.

She hadn't bid farewell back then.

Uncertain if, after so long, they had forgotten her existence.

The girl's eyes deepened, she walked barefoot towards the building.

Wherever she walked, vibrant roses bloomed suddenly all around.

Quickly, these roses spread to the surroundings.

Almost in an instant, the Divine Realm surrounded by flora was enveloped by a sea of roses. Roses were vividly crimson, captivating like the girl's eyes.

-

The first to notice the sea of roses was one of the guards dozing at the Light Temple's entrance.

Groggy eyes widened seeing the surrounding floral sea, the guard shrieked in the next moment.

"Ah!!! Ah!!! Wake up, look!!!"

The guard frantically shook the nearby person awake, only receiving complaints.

"What's with the noise?" The awakened person grumbled discontentedly.

The next second, as he saw the sea of roses, he displayed disbelief, terror in his eyes.

"How could it..."

"... It's Lord Chen Yin! Lord Chen Yin has returned!"
