Rebirth: A Woman with Frozen Hearts [English]

Back To The Past

"If loving you is a sin, then I will gladly bear it."

"If wanting you is a crime, then I will gladly accept any punishment."

"But you have to remember, Chang'e.. How many times have you rejected me, cursed me, insulted me, I will not give up."

"You can escape to the ends of the earth or deep into the abyss once in a while but I.. Zhong Kui, will never let you go."

"Your heart, your body, your soul, all of you, is mine."

The voice of a man, cold and deep, yet dangerous and sensual echoed in Ming Yue's mind. He didn't even know why he could hear the sound even though he was dead.

Is that a spirit voice?

Why did that sound familiar to his ears?

*BOM! BAM! BAM!*

There was a loud knock that could wake the dead, Ming Yue opened her eyes with a breath of breath. His eyes widened, staring at the ceiling that seemed familiar to him. His brows furrowed in confusion as he continued to stare at that ceiling. The ceiling was the basement inside the Qing family home. Ming Yue's own room.

*BOM! BAM! BAM!*

"Fucking girl! wake up and make breakfast!" A shout that belonged to none other than his foster mother, Gu Sui Rong sounded clear.

"soon." Ming Yue replied knowing that if she did not answer, Sui Rong would make her life much more difficult. Sui Rong's steps slowly disappeared, Ming Yue heaved a sigh of relief and looked around the room.

'What's really going on here?' Ming Yue asked inwardly. Such a question was normal because Ming Yue knew she should have died already.

The room that Ming Yue was in always had a pleasant aroma even though it was in the underground chamber. His bed was only a mattress on the floor and the furniture Ming Yue had was only a small table and table made of boxes that were originally in the basement. The ventilation he had was just a small window facing the garage.

　

Ming Yue grabbed a small mirror near the bed and looked at herself. His mouth opened because Ming Yue could not believe what he saw. Inside the mirror was a young girl, about 15 years old. White face, pale and moody but still beautiful.

It seemed that Ming Yue had returned to 10 years ago. Is this what you call reincarnation? Perhaps the heavens pitied him and gave him another life so that Ming Yue could restart her own life. His lips curved upwards, turning into a gentle smile.

Ming Yue still remembered the oath she made at the end of her life. Now, Ming Yue would live for herself. He would not submit to anyone anymore and wanted to feel what it was like to be truly alive.

Ming Yue's mind floated to one person and her eyes turned cold. Ming Yue closed it for a while then opened it again. This time he won't go to the man. This time he left her alone.

　

　

'I've loved and it hurts.'

'Now, I don't need love.'

'The sky, if you hear my prayer, let my heart freeze forever'

'Thus it won't be broken'

'Thus it won't hurt'

Ming Yue arrived at the dining room and saw four people looking at her coldly. If it was in the past, Ming Yue would not have been able to look them in the eye. He was afraid to see the cold directed at him. Now, he looked at them back with the same cold gaze. It caused all four pairs of eyes to be shocked.

"What are you doing in your room?! Can't you see that we're waiting for you to cook our breakfast?!" Sui Rong asked angrily.

"Hmph! The child of disaster will always be the child of disaster. It's worth your mom leaving you." Sui Rong added while sneering.

Staring at the woman indifferently, Ming Yue did not even refute. Instead, he walked towards the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for those rotten people.

"Hmph! Rotten woman.. I'm amazed you've been able to survive this long with those people."

A voice could be heard and immediately a transparent figure appeared next to Ming Yue. The figure was a teenage girl in her teens, blood covered in half of her pale face, indicating the circumstances when she died.

"It's normal, there's nothing new." Ming Yue replied coldly.

Yeah, it's nothing new. The usual humiliation happened almost every day for so many years, Ming Yue was already used to it. However, in the past he kept hoping that someday, his adoptive family would accept him. In the past, Ming Yue was thirsty for love. Love from family, love from friends, love from special people. Still, he couldn't get all that.

Ming Yue laughed mockingly inwardly, laughing at her foolish past self, how foolish she was for continuing to hope for something that would never happen.

The young girl looked at Ming Yue for a moment before opening her mouth. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Ming Yue turned her gaze to the young girl's face while looking at her confusedly, "Of course. Why are you asking, Yu Ran?"

Yu Ran shook his head, "It's nothing. I just feel like there's something different in you, but maybe it's just my feelings."

Actually what Yu Ran suspected was right on target. Ming Yue smiled bitterly but the smile disappeared quickly. He had been reborn, of course it would leave a mark in his soul and the ghosts were sensitive to such a mark.

Finished making breakfast, Ming Yue took a little for herself before serving the food at the dining table as her breakfast. Ming Yue was not allowed to eat in the dining room so she could only eat her breakfast in the kitchen.

Eating, cleaning the kitchen, then getting ready for school were the daily activities Ming Yue had done in her previous life. But he doesn't want to do it anymore. Now, Ming Yue was planning to break away from this hell house. This time, he would leave this house and never return.
