Shang Ruoyan awakened in pain.
Killer 1: "Brother, look at this little beauty. She's born in a good family, but someone paid us to kill her."
Killer 2: "Brother, she's really pretty. Can we taste her before we kill her?"
Killer 3: "Are you crazy? We need to hurry and bury the body. What if someone comes and notices us murdering people?"
Killer 1: "But we still have a lot of time before morning. I also chose this place because it's far from civilization. No one will come here to have himself killed by beasts."
Killer 3: "We just need to do what we were told. Do not deviate from the original plan. The person who hired us might have also hired someone to track us. We will get jailed if they push us into the pit."
Killer 2: "This is sad... She's very pretty and she must be a virgin. She could give birth to lots of babies, and we could secretly sell her on the black market. Some noble will buy her for her face."
Killer 3: "I want to finish this job..."
While they were digging, they did not notice that the body behind them had already run away secretly.
"Let's bury her!"
"Where's the body?"
"Brother, she's gone!"
"Brother, let's search for her."
"Search separately!"
"We need to find her immediately."
"Hurry!"
"Damn it!"
"That little bitch ran away and pretended to be dead!"
"But she only had a faint pulse when I checked earlier."
"The machine must be broken!"
"The dead cannot be resurrected, that's impossible!"
The area was too dark, and it would be impossible to open their light panels since it would likely attract some beasts. The brothers cursed and started the long search.
Shang Ruoyan, named as Assassin Code 2722, was known as one of the 21st century's most beautiful assassins. Unlike other assassins who died in missions, Shang Ruoyan died of old age. Her greatest regret was not living a peaceful life and finding a partner to settle with or build a family. She also did not have time to see her real parents before she died.
Before she died, one of her disciples gave her a novel to read. Calia said it was for the teacher to pass the time and enjoy some romance novels to fill her boredom. Shang Ruoyan did not take it to heart, but she was hooked by the story. She asked her disciple if it was her intention to use her name as cannon fodder, but her disciple denied it.
Shang Ruoyan did not pity the cannon fodder who grew up in the slums. Like her, an orphan, Shang Ruoyan in the novel knew the hardships of living in the darkest, dirtiest, and poorest corners of the streets. She just wanted to have a good life. But it was her fate to be used by several people who seek profit for themselves, and she was too stupid to believe in love and care.
Shang Ruoyan lived in poverty, but a prestigious family suddenly came to her door to pick her up. The long-lost lady of a prominent family.
Becoming the only lady inside the house was more trouble than luxury. Several elite teachers were hired to teach Shang Ruoyan etiquette and consolidate her foundation in learning several subjects to enroll in the First Military Academy of Planet Zion. And she did not fail the expectations of the people around her.
Despite her efforts, one of her aunts suddenly showed proof that she was never related to them by blood. It happened on her eighteenth birthday, the age of becoming an adult. The day that's so special to her became her nightmare. She was thrown out of the house, witnessed by most of the upper class.
Another woman became the lady of the family, and her aunt has enough evidence to prove she was the daughter of the family. Shang Ruoyan was in disgrace, and she begged everyone to take her back. But none of the members looked back. They were so proud to have finally found the real lady of the family.
Everyone instilled the idea that Shang Ruoyan was nothing compared to the heroine of the world. The people around her look down on her like trash, and her reputation was reduced to nothing but a worthless creature. And due to the pressure of the nobles, she was kicked out of the First Military Academy.
Her ending in the novel was terrible.
The readers thought she was too stupid, and it was already lucky for her to appear in some of the book's pages. No one remembered her hardships or her sacrifices. No one understood her pain and longing. And no one loved her.
She died filled with regrets.
Shang Ruoyan sighed.
She was not expecting to die and be reborn at the age of fifteen and in the body of the cannon fodder inside a novel.
The poison inside her body was too strong, but she had faced more hardships as an assassin. Her current body was not immune to poisons at all, and was considerably very weak and malnourished. She also inherited the memories of the original Shang Ruoyan, and she could not even eat three times a day.
But as an assassin, she could find a little remedy to reduce the pain and escape from murder.
She was sure that the order to murder her came from the noble family who would come to her door a month later. She wanted to delay their arrival, so she escaped successfully. But she was unsure how this event occurred and how the original Shang Ruoyan survived since it was not mentioned in the novel.
"My rebirth might influence the turn of events..."
