The sound of footsteps echoed in the vast space. With a creak, the door to the ward swung open, revealing a pair of crimson high heels.

As the newcomer pushed open the door, his gaze fell upon the figure on the hospital bed, completely bandaged. "What a shame!" he exclaimed, a hint of malicious glee and schadenfreude unmistakably flashing in his eyes.

Shen Wei lay on the bed, unable to move, but her eyes were piercing. This person was Xu Ru, Shen Wei's best friend. Before the accident, they were still talking on the phone, but unexpectedly, she was hit by a large truck, "Ugh..."

"You want to speak up?" Xu Ru chuckled, looking at Shen Wei's eyes. Suddenly, she burst into laughter and leaned closer to Shen Wei's ear, whispering, "Shen Wei, I didn't expect you to be like this today."

Shen Wei was unbelievably struck by the sight. His former best friend, who had always smiled brightly before him, now glared at him with resentment in her eyes. Shen Wei wanted to speak, but his voice was severely damaged from illness and he couldn't utter a sound.

Fists clenched, a pair of eyes held a mix of confusion and frustration.

Why? Why would Hsu-Ru say these things to herself?

Xu Ru's struggles, she couldn't be happier to see them. "Do you really think I consider you a good friend? Shen Wei, you're so naive,"

<<>>>

What?

Shen Wei's eyes widened.

"You didn't get into an accident by chance!" Xu Ru held Shen Wei's face wrapped in gauze. "Jing Teng and I were nearby when you got hit by that big truck. Bam... the moment you got hit, it was so exciting."

No, this is impossible! I don't believe a word you said.

Shen Wei glared at Xu Ru with anger, wanting to push her away, but Xu Ru's face was full of triumphant smiles.

"You really think you're Jingteng, don't you? You're nothing but a pathetic orphan adopted by the Shen family. The Shen family raised you specifically to be Jingteng's matchmaker, yet you still dream of marrying him? It's simply delusional."

"I thought you were dead after the crash, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky. " Xu Ru said with a ferocious face, "But it won't last, you're going straight to hell."

What do you want to do?

"Oh, Shen Wei, actually you're still somewhat useful. What is this?" Xu Ru took out an A4 paper from her bag and waved it in front of Shen Wei.

The phrase "< uterus donation" pierced Shen Wei's nerves, and below was a handwritten signature by Shen Jing Teng.

Shen Wei's pupils dilated, she mustered all her strength and swung at Xu Ru with a wild swing. Xu Ru stumbled back a few steps, a murderous glint in her eyes. She grabbed Shen Wei by the neck, "Shen Wei, you should be grateful that you still have some use. Your womb is mine. When I give birth to Jing Teng's child, I will burn three incense sticks for you every day."

Damn, devil.

Shen Wei struggled violently, his eyes filled with hatred.

I won't give you my uterus, no!

"Struggle, I'll give you brain death later, and you won't be so painful."

"By the way, before you die, I'll tell you one more thing. The child I miscarried two years ago was Jing Teng, hahaha! You, you waited on me hand and foot for a whole month, you didn't know how pleased I was then."

Enough is enough!

"How is that enough? Shen Wei, if it weren't for you, I would have been with Jing Teng long ago. It's all because of you, you made me lose my child, and you took away my right to be a mother from me. Give me your life in exchange!"

Xu Ru raised the pre-prepared syringe, her face contorted in fury, and plunged it viciously into Shen Wei's neck.

Beep beep beep…

"Bad, the patient's heart rate is irregular and starting to decline."

Where is this?

Shen Wei drifted in mid-air, while a group of doctors and nurses bustled about in the operating room. Shen Wei seemed to know something, drifting past, until he reached the operating table where a face identical to his own lay. Shen Wei couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"No, no, don't take my womb."

Shen Wei rushed towards the surgeon with all her might, but she went straight through him.

Shen Wei was incredibly shocked at herself, her face growing paler and paler.

Is he dead? Who is the person in bed?

He shook his own face, then the pale man on the stage swallowed hard.

It was a face exactly alike, yet it wasn't. Because in that car accident, he became paralyzed from the waist up, his face was blurred by the impact, and even Xu Ru noted that he was brain dead.

Just when Shen Wei couldn't figure out what was going on, a powerful force suddenly pulled him past. A white flash flashed through his mind, and then Shen Wei lost consciousness.

Two days later

“Ah!” The person lying in bed suddenly opened their eyes, and for a moment many memories that didn't belong to them flooded in. Shen Wei frowned, covering her head with her hand.

When Yu glanced to the side, a sharp gaze swept over him. Shen Wei only felt a cold chill run down his spine, like a blade passing by his back. He turned his head and met those piercing and profound eyes.

Shen Wei's heart clenched, her jet-black eyes devoid of any emotion, only coldness.

"Jiang Ci, how are you?"

A man walked over and grabbed Shen Wei's chin with one hand.

Shen was stunned, staring at the man. He had a furious and imposing face, so handsome that even people standing beside him seemed to pale in comparison. The man's thin lips were pursed, his cold eyes containing nothing but disdain and mockery.

Shen Wei's heart couldn't help but tremble. Her intuition told her this man was dangerous, and the chill that ran from her toes to the top of her head made it impossible for her to ignore.

Shen Wei's mind suddenly flashed with several fragments, her eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at the man with disbelief.

"Mu Nan Shen?"

Shen Wei's voice was low and broken, which caused the man to frown, seeming a little impatient. He withdrew his hand slightly, "What kind of trick are you playing this time? Hmm?"

"What?"

Shen Wei's brain was still dazed, unsure how to react.

“Last time it was jumping from a building, this time it’s jumping into a lake. Since you want to die so much, just die already, huh?” Mu Nanshen's disgusted eyes met Shen Wei’s, as if he were tired of this kind of act.

Shen Wei didn't know what to say.

Munan Shen is clearly not acquainted with Ginger Porcelain, but why is he here? And why... Ginger Porcelain?

And why is there still a tightness and pain in my chest?

Shen Wei's eyes were misty, and her gaze was lost on Mu Nanshen. When Mu Nanshen received such a look from Shen Wei, he narrowed his eyes in disgust and casually brushed her hand away.

Shen Wei tilted her head and reached for the mirror on the bedside table. She brought it up to face herself, and in that instant, she widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the person reflected in the glass.

It's one's own face, it's oneself. Then what about Mu Nanshen?

"Jiang Ci, what on earth are you up to?"

Mu Nan Shen saw that Shen Wei ignored him, directly dropped the mirror, and grabbed Shen Wei from the bed, "Since you're not dead, get out of the hospital immediately."

Shen Wei's face turned pale, she grabbed Mu Nanshen's arm with her right hand, trembling, and looked at him expectantly, "Mu Nanshen, who am I?"
