In the dark jungle, Xiang Xi used the last of her strength to drive her knife into the chest of the final enemy before collapsing helplessly to the ground.
The bullet that had struck her chest moments ago had already damaged her heart.
Xiang Xi knew she was about to die, but she wasn’t sad.
The fate of every professional assassin was nothing more than killing others again and again until eventually being killed themselves. Just like her beautiful master, whose beauty could make the sun pale in comparison, it was only a matter of time.
The only thing she couldn’t let go of was the dog she had raised.
She took out her phone and opened the surveillance camera at home.
The living room, which had been clean and tidy when she left, as spotless as a morgue, was now a complete mess. Everything on the coffee table had been smashed onto the floor, and foam from the sofa cushions was scattered everywhere.
Even the television mounted on the wall hadn’t escaped its fate. It was lying face-first on the floor, and judging by the looks of it, both its exterior and interior were probably shattered.
Meanwhile, a stupid black-and-white dog was jumping all over the living room at incredible speed, chasing a little bird that had accidentally flown inside.
When it heard the sound from the surveillance camera, the silly dog immediately stopped loving the bird and walked up to the camera with its long tongue hanging out, its face filled with anticipation.
“Did you see how awesome I am, my poop-scooper?”
“Hurry up and praise me!”
“When are you coming home to feed me?”
Xiang Xi was almost so angry that she came back to life.
Forget it. She wouldn’t scold him this time. She didn’t have the strength.
“Da Sha.”
“Woof!”
“Your old lady is leaving. From now on… you have to take good care of yourself…”
“Woof?”
“Take care.”
“Woof woof woof…”
Amid Da Sha’s anxious barking, countless images flashed through Xiang Xi’s mind like scenes from a revolving lantern.
…
In a dim classroom, seven or eight tall boys cornered her, a skinny, dark girl, against the wall and viciously kicked and punched her.
Saliva rained down all over her face. In the end, everyone took off their pants and drenched her entire body with foul-smelling yellow liquid.
The homeroom teacher standing outside the window watched everything unfold, the smile at the corners of his lips completely undisguised. Behind his thick glasses, his small, hawk-like eyes radiated the twisted pleasure of revenge.
Xiang Xi remembered very clearly.
This was the ninety-eighth time she had been bullied like this.
…
On a street late at night, Xiang Xi’s clothes were almost torn to pieces as she walked alone through an alley without streetlights. A filthy, lecherous hand reached toward her lower back from behind, only to be severed and sent tumbling to the ground by a blade as fast as lightning.
Watching the blood spurt from his wrist, Xiang Xi remained utterly calm.
A woman beautiful enough to illuminate the night sky stood silently before her. Her gaze, as gentle as moonlight, fell upon Xiang Xi’s calm, gaunt face.
“Are you not afraid?”
Xiang Xi shook her head. “I’m not afraid.”
This was the first time she met her master.
…
In the humid, sweltering bushes, the still-skinny Xiang Xi lay quietly in wait, staring intently at a pointed-snouted crocodile crawling out of the water.
This was her first dinner three days after being thrown into the tropical rainforest.
…
In a brightly lit villa, in front of a massive swimming pool spanning more than a thousand square meters, a female server with an alluring figure brought a tray of orange juice to a wealthy man.
Just as his fat, greasy hand reached toward her neckline, Xiang Xi took the fruit knife hidden beneath the tray and accurately plunged it into his throat.
This was Xiang Xi’s first mission.
…
It was still that same classroom.
The boys who had bullied her back then had grown up. Some had become wealthy bosses with money to burn, while others had become impeccably dressed executives.
The bespectacled teacher had also become a respected educator with students all over the world. Countless honors had concealed the filthy and vicious heart beneath his respectable appearance.
They were tied to the ceiling fan. The arrogance and domineering attitude they once possessed had been replaced by endless terror and trembling. They wanted to escape but couldn’t move even an inch.
They could only watch helplessly as the hands and feet that had once beaten Xiang Xi were severed by a sharp blade, the mouths that had spat saliva at her were cut into eight pieces, and the organs that had sprayed yellow liquid on her were all sliced off with a single stroke.
The bespectacled teacher’s hands, which had once touched girls, were smashed to pieces with an iron hammer, from the fingertips all the way up to the shoulders.
This was Xiang Xi’s first, and also her last, act of revenge.
…
Inside a dilapidated farmhouse, Xiang Xi sat on the edge of the bed wearing a bright red wedding dress. A weighing rod lifted the red veil from her head, revealing a face grinning foolishly at her, with drool still dripping from the corners of its mouth.
“Hehehe… wife…”
Xiang Xi: “Hehehe… husband!”
The fool’s eyes lit up as he eagerly moved closer.
“Wife, wife, shall we play that game?”
“Which one?”
“Today is our wedding day, of course we should play hide-and-seek!”
Xiang Xi: “Sure, sure…”
Wait!
What the hell?!
What kind of ridiculous nonsense got mixed into all of this?!
Xiang Xi suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw before her instantly left her stunned.
She was dressed in tattered clothes, lying in a muddy yard that looked like a peasant family’s home. There were several short earthen houses and a circle of broken-down walls.
The windows had no glass, and the roofs were covered with thatch. An old hen was scratching around on the roof, searching for food.
Under the eaves sat a man, a woman, and two children, all dressed in ancient-style clothing, each wearing an expression that clearly said they were there to watch the show.
The fool who had just married her was now sitting on top of the wall, munching on a large cucumber, drool flowing from the corners of his mouth like a waterfall.
Closest to her was a fierce-looking old woman. She pressed a shoulder pole against Xiang Xi’s head while cursing angrily.
“You still dare to pretend you’re dead? If you don’t get up right now, I’ll smash your head open!”
The woman’s shrill voice stabbed at Xiang Xi’s eardrums. The intense pain in the back of her head made her frown, and then a massive amount of memories flooded into her mind.
So she had transmigrated.
After dying in that world, her soul had somehow crossed an unknown distance and arrived in an ancient country called Great Xia, attaching itself to the body of a young woman.
The original owner was also named Xiang Xi.
This was the damn feudal society, where women had absolutely no status. Most women weren’t even worthy of having a proper name their entire lives.
Fortunately, the original owner’s father had once been a scholar, though he had fallen into poverty, so she had been given this name.
But no one had ever called her by it!
Because the original owner had never been normal from birth. As a child, she had been foolish and dull. As she grew older, she became increasingly crazy and erratic.
Those who were kinder called her Crazy Girl or Xiang the Madwoman. Those who were less kind called her a Mad Hag.
Last winter, through the matchmaking arranged by a matchmaker, the original owner had been married off to the second son of the Liu family in Nan Zhu Village—Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu was also naturally stupid, the pure and innocent kind.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dragged the original owner around playing hide-and-seek all night on their wedding night. And now that his wife had been beaten to death with a shoulder pole, he was still sitting stupidly on the wall, munching on a cucumber.
One was crazy and the other was stupid. They were truly a match made in heaven—or rather, a cripple paired with a cripple, a turtle matched with a softshell turtle.
But ever since she married into the Liu family, the original owner’s life had been miserable.
As a crazy girl, she wouldn’t know how to complain even when she was beaten. And even if she did complain, no one would care. Every day, she was bullied by her mother-in-law, her eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and even her two nephews.
Whenever there was work to be done at home, she was driven out to work in the fields. She ate nothing but thin, bland meals twice a day, worse than what the sow in the pigsty received.
If she made even the slightest mistake, her mother-in-law, Madam Lü, would give her a thorough beating.
Madam Lü’s exact words were:
“No matter what kind of crazy hag you are, you can’t withstand one swing of my stick!”
“Dare to disobey?”
“Beat her!”
“Dare to refuse to work?”
“Beat her!”
“Dare to talk back to me?”
“Beat her to death!”
“Once she’s beaten into submission, even a spirit medium will have to obediently bow her head!”
…
Today, the original owner had gone to the back mountain to cut grass for the pigs. She accidentally snagged her clothes and made a small tear in them. When she returned, Madam Lü saw it and immediately gave her a brutal beating.
The original owner screamed and ran wildly around the courtyard as she was beaten.
Madam Lü casually grabbed a shoulder pole and smashed it into the back of her head, ending her crazy life on the spot.
And then Xiang Xi arrived.
Xiang Xi felt utterly miserable.
She was one of the world’s top assassins.
After finally dying once, she transmigrated.
And what did she become?
A crazy hag!
With a foolish husband!
Oh, mighty God of Transmigration, do you believe this lady will go complain to the God of Assassins and have him kill you?
“You’re still not getting up?”
Seeing that Xiang Xi was still lying motionless on the ground, Madam Lü raised her foot and kicked her.
Xiang Xi instinctively rolled across the ground, narrowly avoiding Madam Lü’s vicious, deadly kick, then flipped over and scrambled to her feet.
Although she had gotten up, Madam Lü had missed her kick, which only made her even angrier.
“You dare dodge? I’ll show you what happens when you dodge!”
Madam Lü raised the shoulder pole and swung it straight at Xiang Xi.
Although she had only been here for a few seconds, Xiang Xi had already clearly felt the overwhelming malice this world held toward her.
She was just about to fight back when suddenly, everything before her turned gray.
The entire world had frozen!
“Today is our wedding day, of course we should play hide-and-seek!”
Xiang Xi: “Sure, sure…”
Wait!
What the hell?!
