Build your empire.

 A young girl stretched her long and lean body on the bed as the sun rays touched her pale skin. Her eyes flickered as she rubbed her forehead which was throbbing in pain. Her eyebrows furrowed as she finally opened her eyes.

Tang Chunlan was reborn again.

She sat upright and scanned her surroundings. Which era did she enter this time again? Was she cursed? Why was she bound to transmigration every time she died?

But this room looked so familiar.....

Her heart froze when a male figure came inside the room. He was devastatingly handsome, his chiselled face was all high bones and sharp angles highlighting his masculinity. His dark and deep eyes stared at her for a while.

"B-Bai Jihai..." She looked at him in disbelief.

Bali Jihai sighed helplessly as he picked up a chair to sit in front of her. His domineering, cold aura was all over the room silently oppressing her.

"Did you really have to jump into the pond? You know you can't swim, are you trying to kill yourself?" He gritted his teeth.

Jump? Water? Her big brown eyes grew large as her mind fixed everything in place. She......she was reborn?

"......don't ever do this again, Chunlan. You win, I will marry you after our graduation. As for other matters, we will talk about them slowly." He brushed a strand of hair back in place on her forehead. "Are you okay?"

Tang Chunlan gazed at him and felt the slight burn of tears in her eyes. She was back!

Around this time, she was just 21 years old and Jihai had just turned 24. She had wanted them to get married, like every female lead is supposed to. Weren't they supposed to get married first and then, build wealth and families together? But Jihai wanted to travel abroad and build an empire first, because of his poor background. Back then, she had thrown a fit and treated him coldly thinking he just didn't want to be with her.

"No, Jihai. I don't want to marry you." She shook her head lightly.

The room turned so cold Chunlan could see icicles form on the window. She saw him holding a deadpanned expression.

"What did you say?"

"Jihai." She took both of his hands and placed them on hers, rubbing his long slender fingers making him stiffen slightly. "Go and live your dreams and build your empire. I don't want you to lean on anybody, I want to be the strongest."

She took a deep breath as she tried to continue with her speech. Right now, the most important thing she could give him was his freedom. "And when you come back, if you still want me, I will be waiting right here. Always, Jihai."

When she received no reply, she looked up to see his face holding a complicated expression. He removed his hands and folded them in front of them and said "Don't say rubbish, Chunlan. I am not unreasonable. Everything I am doing now and will do in the future is just for you."

Chunlan sniffed lightly. She had the sudden urge to cry when she heard him. She had really wronged him before.

How did she become so blind?

How did she become so ruthless and selfish before?

Suddenly, she embraced him and ignored his frozen expression as her voice turned hoarse.

"Bai Jihai, I am sorry for all the times I never said sorry and I was always grateful even though I never said thank you.

In this life, I will fulfill your dreams and sacrifice my own willingly. I will only be good to your family and friends and will be ruthless to your enemies.
