A Lifelong Obsession, an Afterlife Beyond Reach

The day Jiang Yao brought Jiang Chengyu home, she gave me three demands.

"First, get on your knees and kowtow to Chengyu three times, thanking him for not holding a grudge against you all these years."

"Second, sign the divorce papers and give your place to Chengyu."

"Third, donate one of your kidneys to treat Chengyu's illness, as atonement for what you owe him."

Jiang Yao waited a long time, but I never angrily questioned her or started smashing things.

"Of course, if you admit you were wrong right now..."

She continued, but before she could finish, I saw myself drop to my knees in front of Jiang Chengyu.

My forehead touched the floor. Once, twice, three times.

After kowtowing, I looked at Jiang Yao, who was staring at me in shock, and calmly asked,

"Any other demands? If not, I'll go schedule the kidney removal surgery."

Jiang Yao angrily grabbed my hand.

"What kind of push-pull game are you playing now?!"

I didn't answer.

I simply listened to the voice I had been waiting ten years to hear, finally appearing again in my mind:

[Ding! Mission complete!]

[Die within three days to leave this world for good!]
