Diario de una renacida en la alta sociedad

Capítulo 1

During the Mu Dynasty, it was the summer solstice, a day of clear skies, gentle breezes, and warm sunshine—an auspicious day for weddings.

With the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the accompanying music and ceremonies, and the red-clad bride leading the way.

The crowds lining the streets watched this scene with great excitement. The Mu family was condescending to marry the youngest daughter of General Luo, a third-rank nobleman. She was a talented woman of the Mu Dynasty, most famous for her gentleness and kindness, in stark contrast to her arrogant, jealous, and infatuated twin sister. No wonder the Mu family didn't marry their favored eldest daughter, Luo Zhiheng, but instead sought the marriage of their unfavored second daughter, Luo Ningshuang.

Although she married a sickly man, he was the only legitimate son of the Mu Prince's Mansion, a noble young prince, so Luo Ningshuang was considered lucky.

Seeing Mu Yunjin, the eldest son of the Mu family, riding a tall horse at the head of the procession to greet the bride in place of his younger brother, everyone felt a little breathless. How could there be such a handsome man?

The man's face was as cold as ice. He wore a sky-blue satin robe, his long hair occasionally fluttering by his ears. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of anger. At that moment, he truly wished he could drag the imposter out of the sedan chair, tear him to pieces, and throw him into the moat.

That's so embarrassing! That's outrageous!

That infatuated, idiotic, and stupid Luo Zhiheng was so jealous that she beat Luo Ningshuang so badly that she was left bleeding profusely and on the verge of death. If he hadn't arrived just in time, Luo Ningshuang would probably have been killed. He didn't care what the sisters were like, but how could Luo Ningshuang possibly attend the wedding ceremony in this state?

What's most infuriating is that Luo Zhiheng shamelessly demanded to stand in for her. Is this a life-altering event that can be done by someone else? But the die is cast. The Mu family can't afford to lose face by not bringing a bride, and Luo Ningshuang, in her current state, probably won't fully recover for at least a month or two. Since someone in the family has already seen Luo Ningshuang, they have no choice but to find a substitute. For the sake of the bride serving tea to family and relatives tomorrow, they had no choice but to send that venomous woman, Luo Zhiheng, who looks exactly like Luo Ningshuang, to impersonate her.

But he still wanted nothing more than to kill that slut! Mu Yunjin's hands, gripping the reins, were throbbing with bulging veins and still trembling. That infatuated girl had just threatened him, hugging his waist and saying she wouldn't get into the sedan chair unless he gave her a kiss!

"What a pretentious wretch! She brought all this trouble upon herself, yet she dares to covet him and molest him!" A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Mu Yunjin's eyes at this thought. That slap just now felt so satisfying! I'll knock you out, then wake you up during your wedding ceremony, and see how pretentious you can be then!

He glanced back at the calm sedan chair, then looked away with satisfaction. If you dare threaten him, he has plenty of ways to shut you up.

Mu Yunjin had no idea that his furious and utterly disgusted slap hadn't just knocked the man unconscious, but killed him. But at that moment, the dead man slumped in the sedan chair suddenly gasped sharply, staring blankly at the delicate white hand before him, his face turning pale. He trembled in disbelief and stammered, "Wasn't I dead? Am I possessed by a ghost?!"

The jumbled memories in her mind finally settled on the image of that handsome man slapping her with his palm, and the memory of this body shouting angrily in front of a pool of blood: "Why did you get married before me? I'm the older sister, I should get married first."

So, is this chaotic, red scene before you a sign that she's on her way to get married?

Just as she was at a loss, a series of exclamations suddenly came from outside.

Da da da—

The rapid clatter of hooves caused panic among the people. The crowd that had filled both sides of the road surged into the middle of the road, and the sedan chair carrying Luo Zhiheng swayed and became unstable.

Luo Zhiheng gripped her bridal veil tightly, holding onto the headdress that was about to fall off her head due to the shaking. She grabbed the side of the sedan chair haphazardly with one hand, and it took her a while to calm down. But at this moment, she huddled there, not daring to move, and was even more worried that someone would lift the curtain of the sedan chair. She was afraid that she would die if she were exposed to the light!

She vividly remembered fighting bandits from another mountain for goods, only to be shot and killed instantly because she hadn't expected them to have muskets. Now, however, she was conscious again, but this body clearly wasn't hers, and the memories in her mind were strange. She guessed she really had become a ghost and possessed this girl's body. Ghosts are terrified of light. She didn't want her soul to be scattered.

She, who was fearless, encountered something she had never seen or heard of before. She didn't know it was called time travel, but she was certain that she had taken over someone else's body. She was filled with unease, anxiety, and panic. Her father said that she shouldn't take what others liked. Did she count as taking what others liked?

Before confirming her safety, Luo Zhiheng decided to remain silent and keep a low profile, restraining her volatile temper. Right now, she was just a ghost of unknown origin, and she couldn't let anyone discover her and burn her alive.

The noise outside suddenly subsided, and Luo Zhiheng strained her ears to listen, hoping to glean some helpful information.

Under the clear blue sky, two young men on horseback faced each other.

The black-clad man who had galloped up on horseback stopped on his horse, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He laughed heartily, “Brother Yun Jin has done a great service this time. Not only did you bring your brother a beautiful woman home, but you also took away a weak younger sister for my Ah Heng who always ruined her reputation. Bei Song is truly grateful.”

Bei Song? Xia Bei Song! A tall, jade-like man immediately flashed through Luo Zhiheng's mind—he seemed to be the cousin of this girl also named Luo Zhiheng. They had a good relationship; perhaps he could help her escape this marriage! Overjoyed, Luo Zhiheng was about to speak when her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly covered her mouth with her delicate hand. She shrank back into the corner of the sedan chair, mimicking a foreign priest, silently chanting: "God, please let my cousin go quickly, please don't let him discover that I'm a ghost and not his cousin!"

They have such a good relationship, he might just recognize her as a monster at a glance. My life is at stake, I absolutely cannot run into my cousin.

Mu Yunjin narrowed his eyes, his slender pupils captivatingly bright in the sunlight. He knew perfectly well that the person inside the sedan chair was Xia Beisong's beloved. If Xia Beisong's precious child were to be carried away right before his eyes and married off to someone else, wouldn't Xia Beisong be devastated and despondent? Then no one would be competing with him for the position of Chief Imperial Guard. He felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, and for the first time, he didn't engage in any banter with Xia Beisong: "In that case, we are truly all happy. Yunjin also wishes Brother Beisong and Miss Luo a speedy and lasting marriage."

Xia Beisong raised an eyebrow in surprise, wondering why Mu Yunjin wasn't going against him today, but he smiled and said, "I will definitely give Aheng the grandest wedding. Brother Yunjin, you must come and have a drink at the wedding."

"Certainly, certainly! The auspicious time cannot be delayed, so Yun Jin will take her leave first." Mu Yun Jin cupped her hands and ordered the wedding procession to continue.

003 The Price of Blood

The instant Mu Yunjin and Xia Beisong brushed past each other, an unseen spark seemed to fly between them, and their gazes held unfathomable meanings.

Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and sneered: Xia Beisong, the woman you like was carried away right under your nose. You'll be crying your eyes out soon. I really want to see what you look like when you go crazy. Go crazy for the most despicable woman? Ha! I'll wait for the day you become the laughingstock of the world.

Xia Beisong glanced at the bridal sedan chair, his eyes filled with ease and contentment: That cunning Luo Ningshuang is finally married! I no longer have to worry about her being schemed against and bullied while I'm not around, that naive little fool Aheng. As for Luo Ningshuang marrying a sickly man, she deserves it; who told her to always pretend to be a good person and make my Aheng take the blame?

Luo Zhiheng was huddled in the sedan chair, wishing she could disappear from the face of the earth immediately. She even tried to deceive herself by covering her head with a bridal veil, burying her head in the sand.

"Young Master, shall we go and see the Second Miss off?" Xia Beisong's servant asked cautiously.

"No, I'll go back and check on Aheng first. My uncle and cousin aren't home, and I'm worried that Aheng won't be able to handle things alone there." Xia Beisong spurred his horse toward the General's Mansion without hesitation, driven by an intense longing to return home. The closer he got to that little girl, the more impatient he became to see her.

It turns out that liking someone really can grow stronger with longing. I just wonder if Ah Heng has missed him since we haven't seen each other for a year?

The bridal sedan chair swayed and wobbled as it arrived at the Mu Prince's mansion. There was a commotion outside the sedan chair, which she couldn't hear clearly, but an old woman at the sedan chair door shouted, "The groom is kicking the sedan chair door!"

Where is the door of the sedan chair? Luo Zhiheng was still groggy and worried that the sun would dry her body quickly. She tucked her hands into her sleeves to keep her skin from being exposed to the sun.

Her inner turmoil was far less than Mu Yunjin's.

Mu Yunjin's face was even more gloomy at this moment. Even the good mood he had just had, which was slightly better than Xia Beisong's, vanished because he had to take his brother's place and carry this dead woman into the palace.

Why should Mu Yunhe have to go through all this trouble to find a wife? If this person really were the renowned talented Luo Ningshuang, it would be fine, but this one is an imposter, a hopeless womanizer! Just thinking about Luo Zhiheng's contemptuous gaze makes him tremble. Hug her, kill him!

"Young Master, please hurry, don't miss the auspicious time," Granny Xi urged.

Mu Yunjin's brows furrowed so deeply they could kill a fly. He held his breath, lifted the sedan curtain to hug Luo Zhiheng, and roughly grabbed her soft hand and pulled her into his arms. Her soft body tensed and stiffened with fear. Mu Yunjin sensed that she was awake, and he was even more afraid than Luo Zhiheng, fearing that she would suddenly go crazy and pounce on him to kiss him.

Luo Zhiheng felt a sharp pain in her hand, followed by being pulled into a hard embrace. Then, a sharp pain shot through her head. The person had actually slammed her against the sedan chair! No one had ever dared to treat her like this before! Tears welled up in Luo Zhiheng's eyes from the pain, and her carefully hidden fiery temper suddenly erupted.

She forgot that she was a ghost and afraid of the light. Her fair and delicate hand, dyed a bright red cinnamon, reached out and pressed down hard on Mu Yunjin's collar. Her long nails slashed down his skin, leaving five streaks of the same vibrant color as her nails!

004 The Moral Bottom Line of Bandits

"Ugh!" Mu Yunjin groaned, his face extremely pale. He hadn't expected this infatuated woman to resort to such underhanded tactics, and her move was not only vicious and ruthless but also arrogant. Having never suffered at the hands of a woman before, Mu Yunjin was now furious. The burning pain in his neck fueled his rage, and he tightened his grip on Luo Zhiheng, almost crushing her legs and ribs.

Luo Zhiheng was in even more pain. Who had she offended? To become a ghost and still suffer, her anger intensified by the pain. She had originally planned to stop, but with a flick of her finger, she delivered another five-finger mountain to Mu Yunjin from bottom to top, equally bloody.

Mu Yunjin trembled with pain, but he dared not do anything else. Luo Zhiheng's hand was on the inside of his neck, which was covered by the bridal veil, so he could do whatever he wanted. However, his hand was on the outside of Luo Zhiheng's neck. If he used any more force, he would be guilty of molesting his sister-in-law.

The anger in my heart is hidden, but it doesn't matter. We have a long future ahead of us. Luo Zhiheng, you just wait. He will definitely let you taste what it means to be in hell on earth.

It was just a few steps; there was no need to carry Luo Zhiheng into the palace, they could just go to the main gate. Mu Yunjin couldn't wait to put her down, or rather, throw her away. Of course, his movements remained elegant.

Luo Zhiheng, caught off guard by the sudden release, tripped on her skirt and fell forward. Her bridal veil slipped off, and she saw what was in front of her: a high threshold and a blazing brazier. She was about to fall onto these two things.

One could embarrass her, the other could disfigure her.

Even with her quick reflexes and martial arts skills, Luo Zhiheng was still flustered and disorganized. Her first instinct was to dodge to the side, at least to avoid the scalding brazier.

However, amidst the gasps of the crowd, Luo Zhiheng felt a tremendous force strike from behind. Her hair was grabbed and she was pulled back. Luo Zhiheng's heart pounded wildly. In the struggle, she turned around abruptly and crashed into the person's arms.

A hard chest. The culprit! Luo Zhiheng's eyes instantly filled with rage. She looked up, and in that instant, their eyes met. The man's gaze was cold and impatient, while the woman's was furious and indignant. Both of them froze for a moment.

Luo Zhiheng's head was buzzing as she thought: Father, if any of the men you snatched for me to choose husbands were even half as handsome as this man, your daughter would have been married off long ago! But this man is so handsome, I want to take him back and make him my bandit queen!

Luo Zhiheng's bandit nature was now fully exposed because of her beauty. She looked at Mu Yunjin with admiration and spoke for the first time since arriving in this world. She suppressed her loud bandit voice and murmured softly, "Does the young master have a wife, fiancée, or someone who likes you?"

"Courtesy first, then force." Her father had said that a good bandit must have a moral bottom line: don't steal what others cherish, and don't be a traitor! So even if she had her eye on this man, she would first ask if he was someone else's object of affection.

Mu Yunjin was initially surprised by the domineering anger in Luo Zhiheng's bright eyes, but upon hearing her mosquito-like hum, her scalp immediately tingled. The infatuated girl was indeed still an infatuated girl; how could she be expected to be normal? She abruptly pushed her away, and seeing the curious gazes of the surrounding crowd, Mu Yunjin coldly concealed her reaction: "No need to thank me, it's nothing."

005 Marrying a Pig

Luo Zhiheng wasn't a lovesick fool; she simply grew up under the motto of "if you like something, you have to take it," so she took it for granted. However, she wasn't one to fawn over someone who wouldn't reciprocate. This man's good looks had momentarily captivated her, but now, being pushed away, the disgust in his eyes, and his behavior made Luo Zhiheng lose face.

She was, after all, the daughter of a notorious bandit leader! Her name was renowned for miles around, yet he dared to treat her like this. She rubbed her hands together, eager to rush up and slap the man twice, but the strange looks from the group of people around her made her suddenly stiffen, her whole body turning ice-cold.

She forgot that she was a ghost! A ghost who had taken over someone else's body, how could she be exposed to the light? How could she be so arrogant? Luo Zhiheng turned pale with fright.
