Do you know how many pairs of eyes lurk in the shadows of the space around you, watching you?
Do you know how many legs walk around your room while you sleep each night?
Jiang Fei always felt that something was watching her from the shadows, coveting her.
But it wasn't really a big problem. After all, she lived a happy life. She was the darling of her family, with countless beautiful outfits to choose from and plenty of time to play and while away.
She didn't need to train as hard as her younger brother, and she didn't need to study, either. A beautiful, pale face, a slender figure, and an empty head were the most sought-after qualities in a wife these days. She even already had a fiancé, so she didn't need to compete with anyone.
While her brother ran laps outside and trained hard, she only had to arrange flowers elegantly in a warm room. When her brother was scolded by their parents for poor grades, she was praised whenever she did something foolish and caused trouble.
Everyone said, "Though she has no claim to the inheritance, she has her whole family's affection. Though her martial arts have been completely crippled, a martial arts prodigy likes her and is willing to do her bidding."
What a happy life, if only she hadn't woken up.
When she was at the end of her rope, she saw those eyes again.
They followed her like a shadow, seeming to yearn for her to finally give in and sink into ruin with them.
She smiled gently. "Don't let me catch you. I'll twist your head off and kick it around like a ball."
