Chapter 0002: Rebirth and Return (1)

Pain spread silently throughout Ye Qingtang's body, the kind of heart-wrenching agony that seemed to engulf her in an instant. She abruptly opened her eyes, only to find that the snowy peak of Lingyun Peak was no longer in sight.

"Sweetie, you're finally awake," a slightly weary voice sounded in Ye Qingtang's ear.

Upon hearing that voice, Ye Qingtang's heart trembled.

This voice...

How many years had it been since she last heard it?

Instinctively, Ye Qingtang turned her gaze and saw a middle-aged man standing beside her, his face showing signs of weariness.

"Father..." Ye Qingtang stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what she was seeing. She tried to sit up, but her father quickly helped her, concerned.

"Sweetie, your spiritual roots were shattered, and your body hasn't fully recovered. You need to be careful and take good care of yourself. Don't rush to get up," Ye Family's patriarch, Ye Ling, said with concern.

Ye Qingtang's eyes widened slightly as she was deeply shocked by everything before her.

What's going on?

Didn't she already explode her heart on Lingyun Peak? How is she not dead yet?

And her father... wasn't he already killed by the Grand Elder three hundred years ago? How could...

A series of questions kept rising in Ye Qingtang's mind. She glanced around and only then noticed that she was in the Ye family's chamber from hundreds of years ago.

"Sweetie, even if you lose your spiritual roots in the future, I will still take care of you. You don't need to worry about what others say. Just focus on recovering," Ye Ling didn't notice Ye Qingtang's unusual reaction and thought she was just in shock.

Only Ye Qingtang herself knew how shaken she was at this moment.

Not only was she not dead, but she had also returned to the Ye family three hundred years ago!

Looking at her father in front of her, Ye Qingtang couldn't help but moisten her eyes. In her previous life three hundred years ago, she was weak and helpless, only able to watch as her father and her beloved second uncle were persecuted to death by Ye You, the Grand Elder of the Ye family. And now, she couldn't believe that she had actually come back!

Ye Qingtang sat up slightly, looking at her father's worried face, trying hard to calm her emotions.

In her previous life at this moment, she had just been deprived of her spiritual roots by Ye You, but because the Grand Elder threatened her father's life, she dared not reveal the truth to her father and could only cover it up by claiming that her top-grade spiritual roots had shattered on their own.

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang thought that as long as she endured this humiliation, she could keep her father safe. Little did she know that the Grand Elder, who had already gained control of most of the Ye family's power, had secretly poisoned her father's food. The Grand Elder not only wanted Ye You to take away her spiritual roots but also wanted to kill her father and become the legitimate head of the Ye family!

It's a pity that in her previous life, Ye Qingtang was too naive.

"Sweetie, now that you're awake, drink the medicine while it's still hot," Ye Ling, completely unaware of his daughter's change, brought over a steaming bowl of medicine to care for her.

Ye Qingtang took the medicine her father handed her and looked at her reflection in the bowl, feeling a slight shock.

The girl in the reflection had delicate features, but on her once fair and lovely face, there was a palm-sized red birthmark that completely marred her beauty, making her look exceptionally ugly.
