1 A Life Not Your Own

"You're awake?"

The man's low voice was like sake and broken jade.

She snorted suspiciously.

The man again asked, "Are you ready?"

His voice was clear and faint, his tone as sweet as wine that seeped into the heart.

It brought an inexplicably intriguing sense that he could see through her.

This was definitely not a hallucination!

Could it be that she wasn't dead???

Get ready…

Ready for what?

Suddenly, a life that didn't belong to her popped into her memory.

She was once a top celebrity, Tang Yaoyao.

A video of her being intimate with two men in a taxi had been filmed. It had taken only a moment for her popularity to hit rock bottom, and for many to scold her as a has-been celebrity.

Her career had plummeted, but because of her beautiful and enchanting appearance, her company hadn't hidden her.

Many directors and producers wanted to do the unspeakable to her, but she had refused. In the end, she was reduced to being a little known artist, never to return to her past glory.

Now, in order to let her sister take the female lead role in Fox Fairy, her mother needed a sum of investment money, hence sacrificing her useless daughter.

The other party was Xiao Jinhan, the fourth master of the terrifying Xiao Family.

She narrowed her foxy eyes. Xiao Jinhan had injured his body in an accident before. Since then, he hadn't been able to get close to women, and it was rumored that he was afraid of women…

Thus, his personality had become peevish and ruthless. Even if he was powerful and wealthy, no one dared to marry him.

Some daring prestigious ladies had once tried to marry him, but no good result had ever occurred.

After that, no one dared to approach him again. It was precisely because of this that he remained single.

But now, Xiao Jinhan needed an heir.

Her mother said that her scandal had been written without basis by the entertainment industry. She only had this opportunity to approach him because no one else dared to.

However, a medical examination of her body was required.

Was he asking her to get ready for her body examination?

If her medical examination was successful, she would then follow Xiao Jinhan and give birth to an heir for him in a test tube via in vitro fertilization.

These memories made her very upset.

She had yet to enjoy her freedom after finally being born again. The most impossible thing was to get married.

As far as she knew, Tang Yaoyao's mother wasn't her biological mother. She and her father didn't know about this.

Ah.

In the future, once her nine-tailed fox demon entered her body, her life would definitely be rewritten, and she would live a chic and comfortable life.

She wouldn't let anyone bully her and the people she cared about.

Thinking back, Tang Yaoyao clearly felt the chilly aura emanating from the man.

Xiao Jinhan silently waited for her answer. He sat on the sofa with his legs folded comfortably, his dark eyes staring deeply at her.

As he waited for her answer, his patience gradually disappeared.

Tang Yaoyao took off the blindfold, and waited for her eyes to adjust to the dazzling light. She raised her red lips, and said, "I'm awake. But I had a blindfold on, how did you know how I looked? How did you know I was worthy of being your wife?"

Xiao Jinhan narrowed his eyes coldly and remained silent.

After Tang Yaoyao's eyes adjusted to the light, she could clearly see the man's appearance.

Fourth Master Xiao was pretty good-looking.

Especially his long, narrow, and deep eyes. They were narrowed slightly, looking mysterious and inviolable.

His features were handsome and distinct, with long eyebrows as sharp as ink, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips that exuded an unfathomable glimmer.

In particular, his slightly squinted eyes were a little intriguing, as if one glance could see through the heart.

In her previous life, in order to find the benefactor that had saved her, she had cultivated for thousands of years, and finally climbed into the immortal realm. However, she had to experience an immortal tribulation again.

That day, she had lost her life to a thunderbolt. It had even destroyed her exceptional appearance.

In this life, fate made her wake up to see such a handsome man in front of her. Was it a form of compensation?

If she ate him, maybe she could return to the immortal world.

The faint scent of orchids and musk wafted into her nose, tickling her heart.

It seemed familiar, yet remote and real.

But she couldn't remember where she had smelled the same scent before…

Suddenly, Xiao Jinhan stood up from the sofa. With every step he took, his breath was oppressive on his slender and imposing body.

He stopped in front of her.
