She Only Cares About Cultivation

The woman didn’t give them a chance to torment her, not even leaving behind a body. She climbed to the highest mountain under the cover of night and leapt off.

When the villagers found her, the corpse had already been gnawed by the mountain animals. The villagers were furious, and they scattered her bones to the wind to vent their anger.

Little did they know, this was precisely what the original owner wanted. Even if her bones were scattered, she would have her revenge.

Because of a fierce woman like her, those who chose to stay and bore children for them felt deeply perturbed.

Especially when they were beaten, cursed, or tormented, they wanted to die. But none of their deaths were as resolute as the original owner’s.

The actions of the original owner made them feel even dirtier, as if they weren’t even worthy of living. Afterward, a series of arson incidents began to happen, causing numerous deaths and injuries. Even though the villagers had precautions, their numbers gradually dwindled. Meanwhile, the women bought home became increasingly fierce and disobedient, to the point that they could accidentally sever heirs. Fear grew, and gradually, they didn’t dare to buy women anymore, especially those abducted from the city. Any strong-willed woman would be found and resold, never to bring disaster to the village.

When Tangyuan crossed over, it was her first night being sold to the Zhang family. Her innocence had been ruined, and she fainted from the shock.

The original owner had a beautiful name, Yishui, with a taste of the Republic era. She was born in the eighth year of the Republic, or 1920. Now it was 1935, the original owner was only fifteen, at the bloom of her youth, facing this calamity. The impact on her was beyond collapse; it was utterly devastating.

Especially her face, though she had no mirror to see it, she knew in this era, growing up like this was not a blessing, but rather a problem.

She survived for ten years during the war, only because she was in the deep mountains of Sichuan Province, where aside from the major cities being bombed by enemy aircraft, other places were relatively peaceful.

Conversely, her home in the Northeast was torn apart by the war. Although her mother followed her soldier father on campaigns, until the original owner’s death, she never saw them again. Even the concubine and her daughter lived better than her. This might be the most unforgiving part for the original owner.

Since the original owner only lived to 27, which was 1947, she had no knowledge of her family’s eventual fate.

Before her death, the original owner avenged herself. But her methods weren’t recognized by the System, which deemed her cruel, even unwilling to spare her own child. Such behavior was against human ethics, and her mission was to change the heroine’s life without the wanton killing of innocents, regardless of the cause and effect.

"Isn’t this typical moral kidnapping?"

Tangyuan harshly questioned Liang Tian. Liang Tian, this System, seemed to have been silent for a long time.

"As long as you don’t die, you can exact revenge as you please. But the original owner? She didn’t spare even her own child, which wasn’t just a desecration of life but also a destruction of her own soul. She was tormenting herself, do you understand? Including her final form of self-liberation, which was unacceptable."

"What should I do? Is it that my values are distorted? I think those people deserve to die, even if she killed her child, it was because it was a child born from rape, one she didn’t want. If she hadn’t been repeatedly tortured to the point of a mental breakdown, do you think she would have had the heart to do it?"

Liang Tian sighed: "This isn’t the time for a debate. You’ve already taken this task, and it’s a slow crossing. Start figuring out how to survive this life now?"

How to survive? Her innocence is destroyed; a fiercer woman might still follow the original owner’s path.

But she’s not the same. She has become a successful task executor, and the challenges and experiences over many lifetimes have greatly changed her mentality.

Death isn’t inevitable, but she knows that if she stays cooped up in this godforsaken village for the next ten years, then crossing over would be utterly meaningless.

Since her innocence is destroyed, sooner or later, it’s a matter of death, it’s better to use the body of the original owner to do more of what a savior should do.

This sentence directly made Liang Tian collapse: "What do you plan to do?"

Yishui snorted coldly at Liang Tian: "To do things despised and cursed by others. In the future, wherever I go, I might always be the object of disdain!"
