Re: Blood and Iron - Chapter 26: Impressing a Veteran of the Old Guard

When she reborn, she finally understood; men can never be relied on.
That being the case, she can only rely on herself to win, that
splendid brilliance she yearned for, in this lifetime.

To my scheming Stepmother and ruthless sister, I will
destroy all your backings, pull off your wings, and step on your
arrogance! As for Grandmother whom speaks kindly but has a snake-like heart,
and a father who is hypocritical and exploits advantages; I will tear
off your pretense and cut off your hope! Let’s see how you can still
scheme against me!

Witness her splendid fight against her stepmother, punish scum men,
and create havoc in the imperial court, as she soars with the wind and
rises above the water!

But as for that man who still stands! How dare he play with my heart?

In her previous life, Jiang Youyi's scumbag husband betrayed her and cheated on her after they married. She watched as the mistress entered her home and took over her position.

Not only was she humiliated, but the scumbag and his despicable woman also framed her, causing her to be burdened with millions of dollars in debt.

However, she never expected to wake up one day and be reborn, back to a few days before her wedding.

On the day of the wedding, in front of millions of viewers watching the live stream and thousands of guests at the wedding venue, she publicly called off the wedding.

She boldly declared, “Yes, I don't love Xu Yuning, but Lu Yunxiao!”

With these casual words, she thrust the enigmatic trillionaire heir of the Lu family into the spotlight and turned the scumbag into a laughingstock.

Everyone speculated on how Jiang Youyi could have become involved with Lu Yunxiao, the top tycoon of Hai City. In reality, only Jiang Youyi knew deep down that she was talking nonsense and randomly found a man as an excuse.

But she never expected that the day after she called off the wedding, the top-notch mogul mentioned her on Weibo and said, “I'm really curious, what does Miss Jiang like about me?”

Jiang Youyi had no choice but to bluff and reply, “Some people come into your life like gifts. I don't know what I like about you, but just the thought of you brightens my heart and fills me with happiness.”

Five minutes later, Jiang Youyi received another reply from the tycoon himself, “Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish.”

Jiang Youyi was confused.

That day, Weibo exploded. The tech team worked overnight to fix the server crash caused by the surge in traffic, and countless female fans lamented their lost love!

Only Jiang Youyi silently wished she could find a place to hide...

Dear readers! Without any ads, maybe you will prefer .

After hatching endless plots and suffering innumerable hardships, the demons of the Demonic Realm finally managed to resurrect the Ancient Demon King.

The demons of the Demonic Realm had hoped that the Ancient Demon King would not only lead them in waging a war against the Heavenly Realm and enable them to lord their superiority over the Immortals, he would also ultimately gain control over the entire realm.

Gradually, however, they discovered that their thoughts were very, very wrong.

Whilst it is true that this Ancient Demon King still retains his aura of superiority and possesses unlimited powers, he…

He seems to be a mental case…

It’s alright even if he changes orders and does things in an incomprehensible way.

But what’s with his habit of muttering under his breath, nagging and conversing with himself the entire day!

Small Orchid: He’s not ill, he’s just despicable (贱jian)…can’t stand to see (见jian) people live a good life.

Dong Fang: I am only unable to endure seeing you live a good life.

Small Orchid: …

*T/N: The Chinese pronunciation for the word “despicable” is the same as the word “see” – thus, the author is trying to show that Small Orchid, while trying to scold Dong Fang, is also careful not to incur his wrath, which is why she tried to imbue another meaning into her sentence after scolding him.
