Chapter 1 Rebirth

  In the pale purple room filled with a girl's breath, on the large round bed, a girl was lying on her back with a pale face, hugging the quilt tightly. Her white and full forehead was covered with fine sweat beads, and her long hair like silk satin stuck to her face, making her skin look crystal clear as snow. Her two slender legs were tightly wrapped around the quilt, and her hands grasped it firmly, as if trying to catch something.

  A faint knock at the door broke through, which had just broken Ning Cloud's immersion in a nightmare. Those almond-shaped eyes suddenly opened.

  "Huan Huan, get up. Your big brother has come back and is downstairs right now." Ning Yun Huan's mother, Mrs. Ning, was standing outside the door, talking to her daughter through the door.

  When she heard the two words "Big Brother", Ning Yun's pupils suddenly shrank tightly, and a look of fear, complexity and hatred appeared on her face!

  This generation of the Ning family has two children, a boy and a girl. Ning Yunhuan's older brother, Ning Yuncheng, originally had a relationship with her that was not particularly close, but it shouldn't have been too distant either. However, over the past year or so, Ning Yunhuan had become somewhat cold towards this older brother of hers. Seeing this situation, Mr. and Mrs. Ning had Mrs. Ning come to knock on her daughter's door early in the morning, hoping that the siblings would make amends and return to their original relationship.

  When Ning Yunhuan heard the name of Ning Yun City, the complex expression in her eyes couldn't be hidden. The Ning family started to rise from Ning Yunhuan's grandfather's generation and was originally from a theater background. By now, it had become a medium-sized brokerage company in the capital, signing some second- and third-tier models and actors. Although they were not considered a wealthy family in the capital, they were still better off than ordinary people. As the only daughter of the Ning family, Ning Yunhuan was spoiled from a young age and became naive and ignorant of the world.

  If it were just a dull life, then so be it. Unfortunately, the tranquility of the Ning family was disrupted when Ning Yun met his nemesis in Ning Yun City, and everything fell apart.

  His father's business ability was mediocre, and Ning Yuncheng had only returned from studying in the UK two years ago. He is now a nominal general manager at home, but he has a flirtatious nature and has had numerous romantic entanglements with female models and artists in the company. If something happens to the company, Ning Yuncheng doesn't care. If it were just that, the Ning family could have simply stopped running the business and lived as an ordinary wealthy family. Unfortunately, Ning Yuncheng met his destined person, and for that woman, he not only gave up his inheritance rights but also drove his father to death, ultimately handing over the Ning family's assets to her, hoping she would smile at him more often.

  It's been over twenty years since I came to this world, and I've long forgotten how many years ago it was that Ning Yunhuan read a novel and then reincarnated into the female supporting character of the story. In her previous life, she had tried to change the tragic ending of the female supporting character in the book, making efforts for over twenty years, but unexpectedly ended up suppressing her own nature, becoming completely different from the personality of the female supporting character in the book. Unfortunately, although she escaped the fate of the female supporting character's ending in the book, she welcomed an ending that was not much better than that one.

  More than half a year ago, when Ning Yunhuan woke up from her desperate death, she somehow returned to her 18-year-old self. At first, she thought it was all just a dream, but only recently did she start to feel more grounded. However, towards Ning Yuncheng, Ning Yunhuan no longer actively sought to improve their relationship like in her past life. The look on his face when he deceived her into handing over half of the company's inheritance rights to that woman, as well as the expression he wore when he personally slandered his own younger sister to please that woman, still linger vividly in Ning Yunhuan's mind.

  Mrs. Ning knocked on the door for a while, perhaps thinking that her daughter was asleep, and after a while, the sound gradually faded away.

  Ning Yunhuan couldn't sleep now, she was afraid that once she fell asleep, she would dream of the past. So she lay in bed for a while before sighing and getting up to pull open the pale purple curtains. It was late August now, and the sunlight outside was just right, with soft rays shining on her body. If it were someone else, they might have found it too hot, but Ning Yunhuan loved the feeling of the sun's warmth on her skin.

  She spent her last life in that dark and gloomy hell, until the end of her death was still in that dark corner. The sunshine that ordinary people may not cherish so much is what she likes.

  After getting up and washing, Ning Yuncheng and his son were nowhere to be seen downstairs. Only Mrs. Ning was left, sitting in the living room flipping through a magazine. When she saw her daughter coming down, Mrs. Ning sighed: "You lazy girl, why did you sleep so late? Mom knocked on the door but you didn't respond. Your big brother rarely comes back, and you didn't even see him."

  Ning Yuncheng is a charming and carefree person, but his father Ning has a strict and serious personality. He dislikes his son's idle and flirtatious behavior, especially when he takes advantage of the female artists in their family's company. As a result, Ning often scolds him. In the end, Ning Yuncheng decided to move out of the main house and into a separate villa on Blue Mountain, where he can live freely and do as he pleases.

  "Mom, look at my brother. Every day, just by flipping through the newspaper, you can see it." Although Ning Yun Cheng's family background is not considered anything compared to many families in Beijing, because he always gets entangled with some so-called stars, and his appearance is not bad, along with a few other friends, they are known as the "Five Young Masters of Beijing". They are the favorite figures of some small media outlets. As long as you flip to the entertainment section, it's likely that you'll see news about him hugging female celebrities every three days or so. This is also what Ning Yun Cheng's father dislikes the most.

  Mrs. Ning detected a hint of nonchalance in her daughter's words and suddenly felt a little helpless.

  I don't know what's going on, but Ning Yunhuan and Ning Yuncheng, the two siblings, didn't seem like biological brother and sister. Before Ning Yuncheng went abroad, it was still okay, but after he came back, the relationship between the two siblings became increasingly distant. These are her own two children, flesh of the same flesh, and Mrs. Ning couldn't bear to see them so estranged. She thought for a moment, then stood up: "Huanhuan, you wait a bit and accompany Mom out for a stroll, and we'll also go take a look at your father's company."

  Having been like a mother and daughter to Mrs. Ning for almost two lifetimes, Ning Yunhuan knew her thoughts all too well, and hastily shook her head: "Mom, I've already promised Fu Yan." If it weren't for the matters of their past life, Ning Yunhuan might have accepted Mrs. Ning's good intentions, but because of the knot in her heart from the previous lifetime, as soon as she heard that she was to meet Ning Yuncheng, a natural resistance arose within her.

  "It's almost time for school to start, I want to go take a look at the university first." Fu Yuan is a friend of Ning Yunhuan who has been friends with her for many years. The two have similar personalities, both gentle and quiet, well-behaved and well-mannered. Their family backgrounds are also similar, the Fu family made their fortune by selling goods and now they have some savings. The two families have some interactions, plus Fu Yuan and Ning Yunhuan are close in age, so from junior high school to now, they have always had a good relationship. The two even chose the same university in Beijing when they graduated from high school.

  As soon as Ning Yunhuan said she had an appointment with Fu Yan, Mrs. Ning also knew the girl and was very satisfied that her daughter could get along with such a quiet and well-behaved girl, so she nodded in agreement.

  Ning Yun let out a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Mrs. Ning would insist on her getting along with Ning Yun Cheng, now that she had agreed to her request, she couldn't help but put down a stone in her heart, only thinking that in two days' time, she would have to start school again, and couldn't help but feel some annoyance.

  The woman Ning Yunsheng fell in love with was a senior at the same school as Ning Yunhuan, two years older than her. It was through Ning Yunhuan that they got to know each other, which led to Ning Yunhuan's miserable second half of life.

  The ending of the previous life has not changed, under the wrong circumstances, Ning Yun City inadvertently got the heroine's first time due to Ning Yun Huan's relationship, and thus began to be devoted to her, while Ning Yun Huan also started a lifetime of hard work that could not change.

  If she had returned earlier, Ning Yunhuan said that she might not have chosen this school. She was spoiled since childhood and her father couldn't bear to let his daughter leave him too far away, so Ning Yunhuan chose this school. Unexpectedly, after rebirth, she returned to where everything started again.

  When school started, there was supposed to be a military training session. Ning's father couldn't bear the thought of his daughter suffering, so he donated money to the school and got her a sick leave instead. The military training that Ning Yunhuan had been looking forward to was thus cancelled, and she ended up staying at home reading books.

  The rebelliousness that was supposed to be in her had actually been consumed almost completely in her previous life, and now she naturally calmed down. The weather in September still has the power of the autumn tiger, and after the military training just passed, Fu Yan called her to ask her out for a walk, thinking that staying at home all the time was boring and pointless, so she agreed.

  I had just changed clothes and gone downstairs when I heard the sound of a car coming from outside.

  The area where the Ning family lives is a separate villa, and the lawn around it all belongs to the Ning family. Unless it's someone from the Ning family coming back, if it's another family, even if they come back in a car, the sound won't be so loud. Mrs. Ning has been invited out, Mr. Ning is usually serious, at this time he should be sitting in the company, and can drive back, it shouldn't be Ning Yun Cheng, right?

  As soon as Ning Yunhuan stepped out of the door with her sun umbrella, she saw Ning Yuncheng, who had just gotten off the car. He was wearing a light gray silk shirt and a pair of white casual pants, which made his figure look particularly slender. When he saw Ning Yunhuan coming out dressed neatly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly:

  "Where to go?" Ning Yun Cheng was seven years older than Ning Yun Huan, and this year he was exactly twenty-five. His originally tied-up hair didn't make him look feminine at all, but instead revealed a few hints of his untamed aura. The buttons on his shirt were undone, revealing the solid chest beneath, and if other women saw him like this, they couldn't help but feel their hearts fluttering.
