Ding Mujie had been in the officialdom for dozens of years and had always stood firm, which was sure that he relied on his own ability. He was too good at reading people’s minds and using all kinds of methods to achieve his goal. Now, Lin Wan was no match for him. He wanted to get himself married and wanted to advance the wedding date to three days ahead. Lin Wan was anxious and quickly shouted, “Don’t go, I don’t want to marry! I don’t want to marry you! “

Finally, Ding Mujie forced Lin Wan to tell the truth. After that, Ding Mujie only felt a deep sense of sorrow welled up in his heart, making him wanted to cry.

“The Ba-Zi, is your doing, right? Your mother is the saint of the Hmong community. It’s not difficult to poison a pool of fish, let alone caused madness to my cats and dogs.” He stood with his back facing Lin Wan, and his eyes were tightly closed because he was afraid that tears would fall as soon as he opened his eyes. He had been through so much hardship in his previous life, but he had only cried once when Lin Wan died. It seemed that he cried for her in the two lives, but it ended up like this… 

“What Ba-Zi? I don’t understand. What are you talking about?” Lin Wan denied, “I just don’t like you, and I don’t want to marry you.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you don’t like me? You don’t like me. Why did you blush and eyes flicker when you see me and pretend to love me as well? You don’t like my lowly family or me? Ding Mujie continued, “The other day in the lake, I wanted to grab you over. When you turned around and saw me, you were shocked and resisted and subconsciously pushed me. In a critical situation, a person’s actions often reflected her true thoughts. I know you don’t want to be saved by me, but I dare not continue to have a deeper thought about it. “

He suppressed his sorrow and said, “You broke the gold headpiece, didn’t you? But turned-out framing Ding Xiang. You invited her to the Lin mansion and brought up the topic with the jewelry, step by step aroused Ding Xiang’s curiosity. Letting her take the initiative and offer her to see the great empress’ headpiece without telling her how precious it was. After getting hold of her, you lured her to shake the headpiece with the golden wing that was already broken to fall. You pretended to be kind and wanted to take the blame for her, but in fact, you had already known that she was honest and kind-hearted and wouldn’t bear you to do so. You are a kind and responsible sister-in-law in front of Ding Xiang, and you are also a good granddaughter in front of the great empress. You are liked by everyone, but you let Ding Xiang, who was the most innocent to be your scapegoat. She treated you sincerely. How did you repay her? “

Speaking of this, Ding Mujie’s breathing pace became a little irregular. If he was a rookie, he might have been blinded by it. But now, he had already been in the officialdom and experienced many things. So how could he be deceived by these tricks? The tricks were played one after another, each of them was speculated based on Ding Xiang’s weakness and lured her into falling deeper and deeper. While Lin Wan not only stayed out of the affair but also gained a good reputation. She was really good at speculating on people.

It was not that Ding MuJie failed to recognize her true face when he was reborn, but he still couldn’t believe it. He had been obsessed with Lin Wan for two lifetimes. How could he give up on her so easily?

But now, there was no excuse for him not to give up. So not only did Lin Wan pushed him to a dead end, but he also pushed himself to a dead end. To achieve her goal, she was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself. Thinking of this, Ding Mujie suddenly turned around and stared at her with his red eyes. “That day in the Jiang mansion, I almost get myself scandalled with Lin Dan. Was that also your doings?”

Lin Wan flustered and dodged his eyes but still denied, “I broke the golden headpiece. I admit it, but I know nothing about the others. Don’t frame me! You know that the great empress has never liked my mother and me. If she found out that I broke her treasure, my mother and I would be in trouble and would never like us. It doesn’t matter to me, since I would be getting married, but what about my mother? She had to serve the great empress! After all, Ding Xiang is just an outsider. It won’t affect her even if you take the blame for me. That’s why I asked her to come here. I’m just a little coward and have a little intention. How can you think ill of me!” Then she began to cry.

But her tears could no longer touch Ding Mujie. In a trance, he remembered that in his previous life, with this pitiful look, Lin Wan got a lot of information from him. His plot was always seen through by King Kang, and he was almost defeated by the opponent. Fortunately, he went far away from Beijing and avoided King Kang’s spies, and overturned the situation to better. At that time, he thought that King Kang had a capable person to help him, who was smart enough to guess every plot he made. He had thought of finding this capable person, either to take him back for his own use or to eradicate him. But he had never thought that the competent person was Lin Wan, and she had lived a prosperous life in the house of King Kang by betraying him.

In the end, he and the nine prices won the battle. Since King Kang was banished, Lin Wan was definitely fell out of his favor. After that, she was poisoned and sent out of the capital city by King 

Kang for recuperation. Come to think of it that must be the last hidden plot of King Kang to catch him. But before he fell into the trap, King Kang couldn’t bear it any longer and died, and his plot was utterly ruined…

Ding Mujie had understood many things that he failed to realize in his previous life, and he couldn’t bear with it anymore. His red eyes closed slightly, and two drops of tear fell out. In his earlier life, at this very moment, he had been forced to marry Lin Wan and living a peaceful life, and he wouldn’t be so anxious. As for Lin Wan, she got rid of her useless fiancé as she wished. She wouldn’t have made many troubles and expose her true self.

She had been lying to him for a lifetime. Instead, she had used his love and power to fight for all kinds of benefits for herself. She made him couldn’t forget her until the end of his life, and he even buried himself together with her memorial tablet…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The more Ding Mujie thought about it, the more he felt that he was a complete joke and laughed at himself while crying. His blood gradually turned cold.

“It’s your family who is responsible for calling off the engagement. I don’t want to be called ruthless.” After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out. He had done enough for her both in his previous life and this life. From now on, he wouldn’t care about her anymore. She made her own choice. Let her walk by herself.

“It’s impossible for my father to call off the engagement voluntarily. Mujie, please help me for the last time. I beg you!” Lin Wan jumped off the bed and grabbed hold of Ding Mujie’s sleeve.

When she got closer, Ding Mujie found that her pale face was done with makeup. She was not sick. It could be seen that she had been used to cheat to make herself live a better life. She was mean in betraying anyone, including herself.

This time, not only Ding Mujie’s blood was cold, but his heart was also cold. He stared at her for a while and left without looking back.

Lin Wan chased after him and shouted, “Mujie, do you want to call off the engagement or not? Tell me the truth!” When she caught up to the door, she didn’t dare to run further. She could only panicky look at his receding figure.

Ding Mujie’s mind was in a mess. He rode on his horse and unconsciously came to the temple that he loved to visit the most in his previous life. After standing at the temple gate for a long time, he finally couldn’t resist the suffering in his heart and slowly walked in. He saw a familiar figure standing in front of a wall as if she halted and looked at something.

“Why are you here, Lin Dan?” He said in a hoarse voice, with an expression as if it had been a lifetime.

“Don’t you recognize me?” Of course, Lin Dan knew that the man was Ding Mujie. He was so handsome that she couldn’t forget him as he was deeply engraved in her memory. But in theory, the real owner had secretly seen Ding Mujie several times, but the other party had never seen the real owner. So, they might not know each other at this time.

Ding Mujie was stunned for a while and said, “I’m Lin Wan’s fiancé, Ding Mujie. I’ve seen you from outside of the mansion, and you’ve written me a letter. Have you forgotten?”

The real owner had indeed secretly sent several letters to Ding Mujie in the name of consulting poems and deliberately imitated the handwriting of Lin Wan. But Lin Dan wouldn’t admit to such embarrassing matters. She didn’t do that in the first place, so why would she admit it? Ding Mujie and Lin Wan were two big troubles, and she didn’t want to provoke them at all.

“I don’t know you, nor I haven’t written to you.” Speaking of this, she looked at the young monk, who was beside her, and said, “Give me the writing brush and ink. I would want to inscribe on the wall.” It turned out that this wall was used for pilgrims to inscribe, and it was densely packed with poems, which looked very interesting.

Lin Dan initially just appreciated it and didn’t intend to participate in it. But after meeting Ding Mujie, she changed her mind.

The young monk quickly brought a writing brush and a bottle of ink. Lin Dan picked up the biggest weasel hair writing brush and dipped it with dark ink. Then, as she moved her wrist, she wrote down a line of words – The prosperity of the great world, in a flash, a hundred years later, it would only end up like a handful of sand. After writing, she threw the brush to the young monk, turned around, and left.

Ding Mujie looked at the words in disbelief. After a long time, he laughed bitterly, and the laughter was full of shock, depression, and pain. The vigorous and fine strokes and the swift movement of the handwriting could be called the owner piece among the scribbles. It was not at all similar to the letters he had received. On the other hand, although the words looked ugly and unskillful, they were in the style of Lin Wan. He guessed that Lin Wan wrote to him in the name of Lin Dan to create a misconception that he and Lin Dan have been secretly in love with each other.

The “adultery” that had changed everyone’s fate in their previous life must have been carefully plotted by Lin Wan. At the same time, Lin Dan was like him, unable to defend herself and could only marry into the Ding family. But because of that, he hated her, blamed her, mistreated her, and he would rather die than see her. After all, Lin Dan was also the most innocent and pitiful person. So, it was ridiculous that he was reborn and pretended to give her a good ending.

The both of them were not together was the best ending for Lin Dan… 

The more Ding Mujie thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He felt even more sorry for Lin Dan. He covered his eyes and cried quietly. The person he was in debt the most was not Lin Wan, but Lin Dan. However, even if there is another chance, he could not find any way to make up for her.

In a trance, he thought of the tragedy of the Lin family. He wiped his tears and left in a hurry. When he walked to the gate, he turned his head and looked back, silently judge the line of words – The prosperity of the great world, in a flash, a hundred years later, it would only end up like a handful of sand. But it turned out that Lin Dan was the one who knew everything, and they were all foolish
