《Rebirth and Revenge》 Rebirth Alone in her small apartment, Li Na was surrounded by empty takeout boxes and bills she couldn''t afford to pay, she couldn''t help but feel overwhelmed with sadness and regret. She had always wanted to make her parents proud, to live up to their expectations, but it seemed like nothing she did was ever good enough for them. She thought back to the days when her family''s company was thriving, and how she had always dreamed of being an actress. But her parents had forbid her from pursuing that path, telling her it was a frivolous and shameful profession. She had gone against their wishes anyway, hoping to prove them wrong and make a name for herself. And for a while, it seemed like she had succeeded. She had worked hard, landed some small roles, and was finally starting to make a name for herself in the industry. But when her family''s company started to falter, everything changed. Suddenly, her parents were making endless demands for money from her, using her success as a way to prop up their failing business. Pressuring her to take on more roles and work longer hours, leaving her exhausted and drained. She couldn''t afford to eat properly, let alone enjoy any luxuries. Her social life had completely disappeared, and she felt like she was living in a constant state of stress and anxiety. One day, while on the set of her latest film, Li Na collapsed from exhaustion. She was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with severe malnutrition and dehydration. It was a wake-up call for Li Na. ¡­ Li Na decided to confront her parents about their misdeeds that things took a dark turn. They had collected all of her hard-earned money and used it for their own selfish purposes, leaving Li Na feeling used and betrayed. When she threatened to report their actions, they locked her up in a room, determined to keep her quiet. For days, Li Na was trapped in that room, feeling helpless and alone. She couldn''t believe that her own parents would do this to her. But as the days passed, something inside of her began to shift. She realized that she had been living her life for others, always putting their needs before her own. Li Na felt the weight of her life bearing down on her. She had always been a dutiful daughter, a loyal friend, and a hardworking student. Every day felt like a struggle, and she couldn''t remember the last time she had truly been happy. Li Na was blind to their selfishness, thinking that it was her duty as a daughter to help her family. But as the demands kept piling up and her own career started to suffer, she couldn''t help but feel a deep sense of regret. She had sacrificed everything for her family, but they had never once appreciated her or her efforts. As Li Na sat in the cold room, her sister Li Jing barged in uninvited, a triumphant smirk on her face. "What do you want, Li Jing?" Li Na asked, her voice tinged with sadness. Li Jing strode over to Li Na, looking down at her with a mixture of disgust and amusement. "I just wanted to remind you, Li Na, that everything you have in this world is because of me. You''ve always been the weaker sister, the one who couldn''t handle anything. And now, you''re stuck here in this tiny room, while I''m living the life of luxury. It must be so pathetic to be you."

Li Na felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes, but she refused to give her sister the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She felt like her whole world was collapsing around her, as if all of her dreams and aspirations had been snatched away. "How can you say that, Li Jing?" Li Jing said with a smug smile, "From now on, you can stay in this room and live the rest of your life here for all I care." Li Jing then approaches the already vulnerable Li Na, looks her in the eyes, and slowly injects her with poison. Li Na felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She couldn''t believe that her own sister could be so cruel, so heartless. As Li Jing walked out of the room, leaving Li Na alone with her tears. Li Na struggled to get out of bed but her body was too weak. She called out for her parents, but no one answered. She felt a deep sense of sadness and betrayal, realizing that her family had abandoned her. Days turned into weeks, and Li Na''s health continued to deteriorate. She was weak, hungry, and alone. It was only when a kind neighbor heard her cries for help that Li Na was finally rescued. She was taken to a nearby hospital, but before she reached it was too late. ... Rebirth Li Na felt a sudden rush of air as she fell from a great height. She closed her eyes and braced herself for impact, but it never came. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a thin mattress. It was her childhood bedroom. She was weak and sickly with no energy to move. Her parents were nowhere to be seen, and she was alone. As Li Na''s memories began to flood back to her. ''What is happening?'' She wondered. checking the clock on the wall, and saw that it was August 4th, 2015, 9:41 am. She had gone back eight years in time. She tried to get up, but her body was too weak. She saw a reflection of herself in the mirror and gasped. She looked much younger than she remembered, and her body was frail and thin. Li Na gritted her teeth as she forced herself to sit up, ignoring the pain in her chest. She heard the sound of laughter and chatter from the next room. It was her family, enjoying themselves without a care in the world. They had forsaken her, just as they had in her previous life. Li Na gathered herself and staggered to the living room. Her mother and sister were lounging on the sofa, eating chips and watching a popular TV show. They didn''t even glance at her when she entered. They acted as if she didn''t exist. Li Na coughed which made her mother and junior sister look at her. "Oh, you''re awake," her mother Zhang Mei said, without any feeling. Li Na felt rage and disgust towards her mother, and wanted to yell at her. But she wasn''t shocked. If her mother could trap her in a room for days to die, then this was nothing. Li Na ignored her and tried to walk out of the house, but Li Jing''s piercing voice halted her. "Sister, where are you heading, and why are you so skinny?" she asked, eyeing Li Na from top to bottom. Li Na felt a wave of anger rise within her. Why was she given a second chance in this pathetic family? Looking at their faces made her want to vomit. A small smirk formed on her face. They would see who would have the last laugh. Li Na ignored Li Jing as she continued to walk to the door, but her mother shouted from her seat and stopped her in her tracks. "Where do you think you''re going, you ungrateful brat?" her mother snapped. "You haven''t done any chores today, you''re not leaving this house until you finish your tasks." Li Na slowly turned and wrapped her arm around her chest. She gave them a disdainful look and said. "What''s the use of having servants in this house, Mrs. Li? Why do I have to do anything? And what does Li Jing contribute to this house, other than eating and farting? Besides, she could use some work as a way to shed some pounds." Zhang Mei and Li Jing were flabbergasted. They blinked like owl''s. They thought they had lost their hearing. And in case you''re curious, "I''m going to the pharmacy to get some drugs," Li Na said. Not bothering to wait for their reaction, she gave them one final glare before walking out. =============== Hello lovely reader''s, If you''re loving this book, please consider adding it to your collection or giving it a vote. This amateur writer here would truly appreciate your support. Thanks a bunch! ? Meeting Old Friends Li Na stormed out of the house, feeling a pounding pain in her head. She headed to the pharmacy, to get something for the headache and pain. Looking around while walking, she saw how different things were from the future. "It''s still as dull as I remembered." The afternoon sun was harsh and bright, casting long shadows on the pavement. The cars honked and screeched, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere. "Even if I''m gone, it seems like no one would even notice," she thought, feeling bitter. As she walked to the pharmacy, she noticed a familiar face in the distance. It was her old friend, Xing Fei, the one who had betrayed her in her previous life. "Li Na!" Xing Fei called out "Wait up" She yelled out with a fake smile plastered on her face. "It''s been so long since we last saw each other." "What rotten luck. How did I manage to meet this snake here?" She muttered as she walked straight into the pharmacy. ignoring Xing Fei, who was calling her name. Li Na entered the pharmacy and saw Xing Fei trailing behind. She didn''t like it. Turning around, she gave Xing Fei a once-over. Xing Fei was all dressed up in a cute top and jeans, but her smile seemed fake and insincere. "How can I help you" Xing Fei walked closer to Li Na, trying to act friendly and casual. "It really is you, Li Na. I was calling you earlier. Didn''t you hear me?" "So?" Li Na said, her voice short and curt. Xing Fei paused, surprised by Li Na''s response. "Oh, you. Haha. You''re funny." "What''s so funny?" "Ump, nothing. So, what are you doing here?" Xing Fei asked, trying to change the topic. "Ah, you know. To take a nap and buy some groceries." Xing Fei was confused, "But this is a pharmacy," she said, stating the obvious. "Really? Now it''s good you realized that," Li Na said, sneering at her. Xing Fei felt annoyed ''What does this idiot take me for.'' She thought "Since your question has been answered, you can make your way out." Li Na said walking away, leaving Xing Fei standing there boiling with rage. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. After purchasing her medications, she turned around and walked away. Feeling a small sense of satisfaction as she left the pharmacy. After leaving the pharmacy, Li Na felt exhausted from the confrontation with Xing Fei. Li Na''s stomach growled loudly as she strolled down the bustling street. She hadn''t eaten much in a week, all thanks to her sister Li Jing''s constant nagging about her weight. Li Jing insisted she needed to shed some kilos, bombarding her weight loss magazines. Trying to follow the advice left Li Na feeling miserable and weak. "How silly, Li Na," she mumbled, shaking her head." Walking a few blocksashe found a small food stall nearby where she could rest and regain her strength. She ordered a bowl of noodles and sat down at one of the tables. As she waited for her food, Li Na couldn''t help but think about how unfair her life had been. She had been betrayed by her best friend and killed by her own sister in her previous life. And even in this new life, her own mother and sister seemed to hate her. But Li Na refused to give up. She had been given a second chance, and was going to make the most of it. As her food arrived, Li Na took a deep breath and dug in. She felt the warmth of the noodles and the savory flavors filling her up. Slurping happily, she thought, "This is what I need, not some diet." Finishing, she paid and left. As Li Na walked back home from the food stall, she was lost in thought and distracted by the beautiful sunset. She wasn''t paying attention to where she was going and ended up bumping into a tall, handsome man with sharp features. "I''m so sorry," Li Na said, feeling embarrassed. "I wasn''t looking where I was going." The man looked at her with cold eyes and didn''t say anything. Li Na felt a chill run down her spine. "Are you okay?" Li Na asked, trying to break the silence. The man didn''t respond and just walked away, leaving Li Na standing there feeling foolish. But as the man walked away, Li Na couldn''t help but notice how handsome he was. His sharp features and intense gaze left an impression on her, and she couldn''t shake the feeling that she had met him before. Li Na shook her head and continued walking home, trying to forget about the handsome stranger. But as she walked, she couldn''t help but feel that their paths would cross again. The cold, handsome man was named Tang Zheng. He was a wealthy businessman who owned several companies in the city. He was known for being ruthless in business, and his cold demeanor and sharp features matched his reputation. As Tang Zheng walked back to his car with his assistant waiting to open the door for him, he couldn''t help but think about the girl he bumped into. There was something about her that intrigued him, something that he couldn''t quite put his finger on. As Tang Zheng thought about the girl he had just bumped into, his mind couldn''t help but conjure up an image of her. He remembered the way her dark hair had fallen in loose waves around her face, framing her delicate features. Her almond-shaped eyes had been a deep shade of brown, sparkling with intelligence and wit. But what had caught Tang Zheng''s attention the most was her body. Despite her sickly appearance, Tang Zheng could sense that she possessed a natural beauty that couldn''t be hidden. She had a slender frame, but with curves in all the right places, and the way she had moved had been like a graceful dancer. Tang Zheng found himself wondering what it would be like to hold her close, to feel her body against his. He shook his head, trying to push the thoughts out of his mind. He couldn''t let himself get distracted by a woman, especially not one he had just met. But as he drove back to his office, Tang Zheng couldn''t help but feel a sense of longing for the beautiful girl he had crossed paths with. Unpleasant People Li Na walked into the house, feeling exhausted. She hoped to find some peace and quiet in her room, but as soon as she entered the living room, she noticed a familiar face that made her blood boil. It was her mother''s friend Wang Yuling, sitting on the couch with her legs crossed as she sipped on a glass of wine. Li Na hated Wang Yuling, who always looked down on her and mocked in the past. Li Na sneered as she saw her, wondering what she was doing here. Hearing the door open, Wang Yuling turned her head and saw Li Na. She shot her a disdainful look and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, look who''s back, the black sheep of the family or dare I say the sickly one. Haha." She took a sip of her wine and smirked. Li Na narrowed her eyes and turned to face her. She was not in the mood to deal with her insults. She said coldly, "Yes, I was sick. But at least I''m not sick in the head like some people." Wang Yuling nearly choked on her wine and coughed. She was surprised because she didn''t expect Li Na to talk back to her. "How dare you speak to me like that! You brat! I was only speaking the truth. You should be thankful that you have a successful person like me talking to you." Li Na rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. She was tired of the nonsense Wang Yuling was spewing. "Wang Yuling, aren''t you ashamed? You''re an old person trying to bring down a teenager. And sure, you might have had some success as a mistress, but real success isn''t measured by how many married men you seduce." Wang Yuling gasped and yelled, "Li Na! You mannerless brat, get your butt here so I''ll teach you some manners!" she yelled, her voice echoing in the spacious room. Li Na looked away as she began to walk up the stairs. She had a smug smile on her face, knowing that she had gotten under Wang Yuling''s skin. "If you''ll excuse me, I have more important things to do than waste my time with you," she said in a haughty tone. "Can you do me a favor and get the hell out of this house? You''re stinking up the place with your cheap perfume and tacky clothes." Wang Yuling''s eyes widened in disbelief and anger. She was about to follow Li Na and give her a piece of her mind, when Zhang Mei stepped out from the kitchen. "What was that yelling for?" Wang Yuling quickly put her hair behind her ear and tried to act casual. "Nothing, nothing, I just spilled my drink and I felt bad about it. I''m sorry for making a scene." Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Zhang Mei frowned, looking at the stain. "It''s fine, I''ll have the servants clean it up. Now, let''s go to the garden, I prepared some snacks and drinks for us. Come on, it''s beautiful outside." Wang Yuling smiled and nodded, pretending to be interested. She followed Zhang Mei to the garden, but she couldn''t help but glare in the direction Li Na had gone. She muttered insults under her breath. Wang Yuling and Zhang Mei had been childhood friends, but their paths had diverged drastically over the years. While Zhang Mei had married a wealthy businessman and lived a luxurious life, Wang Yuling had remained single and struggled to make ends meet. She had always envied Zhang Mei''s fortune and happiness, and secretly wished that she could have what she had. As she watched Zhang Mei''s back, Wang Yuling felt irritated. She hated how Zhang Mei acted so gracious, as if she was doing her a favor by inviting her to her house. She hated how Zhang Mei seemed to have everything, while she had nothing. "This country pumpkin is acting like she''s better than me, tsk..." Wang Yuling muttered under her breath. She had always looked down on Zhang Mei, who came from a poor rural background. Wang Yuling believed she was smarter and more sophisticated, thinking she deserved to marry a wealthy man instead of Zhang Mei. "Soon enough, I will kick you and your children out and become the madam of this house," she vowed, as she followed Zhang Mei to the garden. With a wicked smile on her face, she imagined taking over Zhang Mei''s place. Her plan to seduce Zhang Mei''s husband, and make him divorce her was already a plan in motion. ... Li Na was walking up the stairs to her room when she bumped into Li Jing, her younger sister. She muttered under her breath, "Why do I keep running into all the unpleasant people today." Li Jing immediately put on a show of concern, trying to act like a white lotus. "Li Na, are you okay? You look tired." Li Na saw right through her sister''s act and responded. "Why do you care? It''s not like you''ve ever shown any concern for me before. Don''t pretend to be something you''re not." Li Jing''s face twisted in anger, but she quickly regained her composure and put on a fake smile. "I''m sorry, Li Na. I didn''t mean to offend you. I just thought you might need some help." Li Na didn''t buy her sister''s act for a second. She knew that Li Jing was just trying to manipulate her and get on her good side. She decided to put an end to the conversation and walked away without saying another word, leaving Li Jing fuming with anger and frustration. Li Na walked to her room, feeling exhausted and drained from the day''s events. She shut the door behind her and let out a deep sigh of relief. Finally, she was alone and could relax for a while. She looked around her room, taking in the familiar surroundings. It was a modest room, with a small bed, a desk, and a closet. Li Na sighed, she knew that the Li family never favored her, despite the fact that she was their daughter. Feeling the tension in her muscles, Li Na decided to draw a warm bath. She filled the tub with water. The warm water worked its magic on her tired body, Li Na''s thoughts drifted away, and she surrendered to the blissful tranquility of the moment. After a relaxing soak, Li Na dried off and changed into her favorite pajamas. She crawled into bed, feeling the soft blankets envelop her in warmth. She closed her eyes, ready to drift off to sleep and forget about the troubles of the day Encounter The next morning was Monday, and Li Na got up early to get ready for school. She went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up. She went to her small closet and picked out her school uniform, which was a plain white shirt and black skirt. Which accentuated her slender figure. As she got dressed, Li Na looked at herself in the mirror. she took a moment to admire her appearance. Her long, black hair fell in silky waves down her back, framing her oval face. Her skin was smooth and clear, with a natural radiance that seemed to glow from within. Li Na''s eyes were perhaps her most striking feature. They were a rich shade of brown, with a depth and intensity that drew people in. Her long lashes curled delicately upwards, giving her eyes a dreamy, doe-like quality. Her lips were full and rosy, with a natural pout that made her look perpetually sultry. She wore just a touch of lip balm to keep them soft. Despite her slender frame, Li Na had curves in all the right places. Her small waist flared out into curvaceous hips and a round, firm bottom. She wore her school uniform with confidence knowing that she looked every bit the beautiful, intelligent young woman that she was. As she turned away from the mirror and headed out the door, Li Na felt a sense of pride in her appearance. She knew that her looks were just one small part of who she was. As Li Na walked out of her house, she felt a sense of relief. She always felt trapped inside this house, suffocated by their constant criticism and coldness. But outside, she felt free. She walked down the narrow street, passing by small shops and vendors selling breakfast foods. The air was filled with the scent of steaming buns and soy milk, and Li Na''s stomach rumbled in anticipation. But she knew she had to hurry if she didn''t want to be late for school If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Li Na had just arrived at the bus stop, where a small crowd of people were waiting. she waited patiently at the bus stop, fiddling with the strap of her bag. As she looked around, her eyes fell upon an old lady who was walking unsteadily on the sidewalk. Suddenly, a cyclist whizzed past, nearly colliding with the woman. Reacting quickly, Li Na rushed to the old woman''s aid and steadied her. "Are you alright, ma''am?" Li Na asked, concerned. The old lady smiled gratefully. "Thank you, my child. I''m fine, just a little shaken." Li Na couldn''t help but notice the woman''s dignified appearance. The old woman was dressed in a traditional Chinese qipao, a long-sleeved silk dress that hugged her body frame. The qipao was deep red with intricate gold embroidery that highlighted her regal bearing. Her hair was pulled up in a sleek bun, with a few wisps framing her delicate features. Despite her age, she carried herself with grace and poise, her eyes sparkling with intelligence and wisdom. She exuded an aura of authority that commanded attention from those around her. "Do you need any help getting to your destination?" Li Na offered The old lady looked at Li Na with gratitude. "That''s very kind of you, but I''m actually on my way to meet my grandson. He should be here any moment." Li Na smiled. "Well, it''s always good to have someone waiting for you. I hope you have a pleasant meeting with your grandson." As they chatted, the bus arrived and Li Na boarded, taking a seat by the window. She watched as the old lady walked towards her car. Li Na couldn''t help but wonder who the old lady''s grandson was, but she pushed the thought aside and focused on the day ahead. As Li Na''s bus approached the school, her heart began to race. She had been anxious about coming back to school since her rebirth, knowing that her classmates had once shunned her. But now, as the bus pulled up to the school gates, Li Na took a deep breath and steeled herself for whatever lay ahead. As she stepped off the bus, she felt a rush of emotions wash over her. She saw familiar faces, some of whom looked surprised to see her, while others gave her cold glares. Li Na kept her head held high, determined to show them all that she was no longer the same person they had once known.
