The sound of rushing water in the washroom stopped. A slender white hand placed on the mirror covered with mist, creating an unpleasant sound as it wiped the mirror back and forth.



Within the steamy bathroom, the girl in the mirror had the unique youthfulness of an 18-year-old. A stunning visage revealed from the mist, like a fairy coming to the mortal world, given that the emotionless eyes of hers were ignored.


The girl's eyes were very beautiful. The dark iris in the right eye shone as if it was talking. The color of the left iris differed from the dark of the right iris; it was a blue so dark it was close to that of black. Looking closely, lines were coming out of the pupil, forming a perfect six-pointed star. The only flaw was how the beautiful left eye was so lifeless.


Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar stranger in the mirror, there was no change in the girl's expression. She habitually wore everything properly before leaving the bathroom. Looking at the elegant and luxurious bedroom, the girl lightly sighed. It's already been a week, but after living as a killer in the apocalypse for five years, she could not get used to her new identity.


Laying on the velvet bed, the girl sank into her memories. She was reborn in this girl named Luo Ye a week ago, who was an orphan just like her. It was not a secret that Luo Ye was adopted by the Luo family. The Luo family treated her very well. There was a brother four years older than her, who was the Luo family's rightful heir.


The Luo family seemed to be ranked third in the imperial capital, but everyone in the noble circle knows that if the Luo family wanted to, the first rank would definitely be theirs. So, the assets of the Luo family are unimaginable, and Luo Ye enjoys the treatment akin to a princess in the Luo family.


It's just that the current Luo family has fallen a little bit compared to two years ago. Although the Luo family was still strong, the people in power are too young and have insufficient experience, so some of the experienced older generations are discontent.


Two years ago, the Luo's experienced a car accident. Luo Ye's adoptive parents died on the spot, and Luo Ye was reported missing. Luo Mingyan, who was studying abroad, came back when he received the news and held his parents' funeral alone. He inherited the Luo family after the funeral and then used his rights to issue a missing person notice and even used the Luo family's power to hold a secret large-scale search.


Four months ago, Luo Mingyan found Luo Ye, who was being used as a white mouse to be experimented on. The cause of Luo Mingyan's parents' death was also gradually revealed to the world. Luo Mingyan wiped out everyone who had participated in harming his parents. Luo Ye was unconscious when she was rescued. According to the testimonies of the researchers, Luo Ye went into a coma only after they had discovered her and injected three different drugs into her.


Luo Ye woke up from her coma a week ago, but her soul had changed. Four months of meticulous treatment had already returned Luo Ye's physical condition to normal. It's just that Luo Ye was unhappy with how this body's heart was not very good, and can't handle high-intensity exercises.


Another thing that made Luo Ye's head hurt was that in her previous life, she had been an orphan since she was young, wandering around on the streets. When she was six years old, she was picked up by an underworld organization, and underwent hellish training. She received her first assassination mission at fourteen and eventually became the famous assassin, nicknamed "Wu Qing" by the time she was 20-year-old.


The apocalypse came when she was twenty-three. She managed to leave the organization and started living alone during the apocalypse. After two years, she met comrades she thought she could trust. Before twenty-five she was always alone, so she cherished this hard-earned friendship. But she didn't expect that this sincere three-year friendship would be exchanged for an unforgettable betrayal.


Her current status restricted her from doing many things. Especially with a caring older brother and a group of people around who are looking after her, Luo Ye couldn't help but have a headache whenever she thought of them.


In her previous life of twenty-eight years, there were only two or three people like that around her, and she was still betrayed by them in the end. In this life, it had only been a week, but there were already so many people, no wonder Luo Ye felt a headache wherever she went.
