Signed the Divorce Agreement

The following day dawned with a bright sky.
The woman on the bed's long eyelashes fluttered, and her beautiful, enchanting slanted eyes slowly opened.
As she gazed at the ceiling above her, Ming Yao found her mind in a state of confusion.
The soreness in her forehead and limbs served as a reminder that she was still alive!
Uncovered by a blanket, she clutched a man's black coat in her hands.
Inhaling its scent, a familiar fragrance filled her senses.
Ming Yao couldn't recall the last time she'd experienced a restful night's sleep.
She was the formidable Snow Fox of the Tang Sect, a name that sent shivers down people's spines.
Yet, her cause of death had been neither assassination nor accident, but rather—
Seven days and seven nights without sleep had claimed her life. Death by insomnia!
Ming Yao had battled insomnia from a young age, and as the years passed, it had worsened.
Medications proved futile against her condition.
He was merely 21 when he succumbed.
She remembered falling asleep in bed after an argument with the man the previous night!
Could it be that her consciousness had swapped bodies and her insomnia had miraculously disappeared?
A wave of delight washed over Ming Yao.
Finally, relief from the agony of insomnia!
Rubbing her sore arms, she rose from the bed.
As she prepared to freshen up, the doorbell chimed.
Ming Yao, still drowsy, opened the door.
A handsome young man in a white shirt stood there.
He glanced at Ming Yao and cleared his throat. "Madam, Lord Fourth asked me to deliver the divorce papers."
"Oh."
This young man must be Tyrant Gu's aide, Lu Zhou!
Much gentler and approachable than his boss, she mused.
"Very well, let me take a look." Ming Yao accepted the divorce papers, her smile tinged with drowsiness. "Would you like to come in?"
A look of shock briefly crossed Lu Zhou's handsome face.
He quickly waved his hand. "That's alright. I still have tasks to attend to. Once Madam signs the papers, the lawyer will come by for them."
And with that, Lu Zhou hurriedly retreated.
Ming Yao wrinkled her nose.
What was he so afraid of? Did he think she would devour him?
Images floated to the forefront of her mind. She had always had a soft spot for attractive young men!
Rumor had it that Lu Zhou was Tyrant Gu's favorite. He probably worried that her involvement might lead to trouble and displease Tyrant Gu!
Tyrant Fourth Master Gu and his affable assistant. Quite the indulgent pair, it seemed!
Returning to her room with the divorce papers, Ming Yao reviewed them and nonchalantly signed the final page.
In the bathroom, she studied the woman in the mirror.
Um...
The woman with the afro and a face resembling a painter's palette was her current appearance?
It made sense why that tyrant from the previous night had refused to look at her while she was unclothed. This face was indeed less than appealing!
Tying up her hair, Ming Yao began removing her makeup.
After nearly twenty minutes of effort, her face was finally cleansed.
Her complexion was fair, her features delicate, her countenance radiant, and her long, alluring phoenix eyes possessed an irresistible charm. She was undeniably beautiful.
Gently touching the elegant beauty mark at the corner of her eye, Ming Yao pondered.
This face mirrored her former self precisely, down to the beauty mark.
Ming Yao's confusion grew.
What could explain this uncanny resemblance?
Was there some connection between her and this body?
Regrettably, her body had been an orphan's before her demise. Following her sleepless end, enemies sought vengeance and reduced her body to ashes.
Otherwise, she might have entertained the notion of being long-lost twins!
Ming Yao pushed aside these musings, deciding to uncover the truth in due time.
