I stepped out of the Brilliant Building, the night breeze greeting me with a hint of chill.
I tightened my coat and hailed a taxi.
"To Mingzhu Community," I told the driver.
He started the engine, and the car slowly merged into the night.
As I gazed out at the flowing neon lights, my mind was filled with countless thoughts.
I had finally escaped Shen Hao and the suffocating past that haunted me.
Yet, there was not a shred of relief in my heart.
Instead, it felt heavier.
I could almost see my past self standing under the same night sky, wearing a face of despair and sorrow.
I remembered that night when Shen Hao and Su Man conspired against me, leaving me with nothing.
My career, my love, my dreams—all turned to dust.
In the end, I chose to end my life to escape the torment of it all.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I told myself that it was all in the past.
In this life, I would not let tragedy repeat itself.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Mingzhu Community.
I paid the fare, got out, and walked into the neighborhood.
My home was in an old apartment building deep within the community.
The room was small but cozy.
This was the house I rented.
I pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The room was empty, furnished only with simple furniture and some daily necessities.
The sudden silence made me feel a bit uneasy.
I walked to the window and drew back the curtains.
Outside was the night view of the neighborhood, lights twinkling, serene and peaceful.
As I gazed at the tranquil scene, my heart remained restless.
Memories of my past life flooded my mind.
Shen Hao's sweet words, Su Man's cold mockery, and the images of being manipulated and framed by them replayed in my thoughts.
I felt waves of suffocation and pain.
I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to control my emotions.
"Qin Wan, you can't dwell on the past any longer."
I told myself, "You must pull yourself together and start anew."
"But how do I begin?"
Another voice echoed in my heart.
"I don't know."
I felt lost and helpless.
I walked to the sofa and sat down weakly.
I wrapped my arms around myself, my body trembling slightly.
A wave of cold washed over me, as if I were in an ice cellar.
“Qin Wan, you must be strong,” I told myself. “You cannot be defeated.”
“You still have dreams, you still have a future.”
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.
I began to reflect on the experiences of my past life.
I realized that my former weakness and naivety stemmed from my excessive reliance on Shen Hao, which allowed him and Su Man to take advantage of me.
I was so foolish to have given him everything.
I thought he was my true love, my support.
In the end, he pushed me into the abyss.
I hated him, and I hated myself.
I hated his ruthlessness and betrayal, and I despised my own stupidity and cowardice.
“Qin Wan, you cannot continue like this,” I said to myself. “You must change.”
“You must become strong.”
I stood up and walked to the mirror.
I looked at my haggard reflection in the mirror.
My face was pale, my eyes hollow, devoid of any vitality.
"Is this the way you want to be?"
I asked myself.
"No, this is not how I want to be."
I shook my head. "I want to become stronger, more confident."
"I want to take control of my own destiny, no longer at the mercy of others."
I gave a determined smile to the mirror.
"Qin Wan, you can do it."
I told myself, "You definitely can."
I began to formulate a new plan.
I knew the road ahead was long, filled with challenges and uncertainties.
But I was ready.
I would no longer be afraid, nor would I back down.
With my own efforts, I would reclaim everything that belonged to me.
