The Maiden Immersed in the Ice Coffin

Outside the Imperial Capital, the world was frozen in ice and snow.

The desolate Ice Lake, like a massive ice coffin, held a girl of peerless beauty submerged within its depths!

"Sister, are you cold?"

"Sister, it's minus forty-five degrees. You'll freeze to death."

"If you die, how will you participate in the National Medical Competition..."

A gentle voice drifted down from above.

Considerate, concerned.

Beneath the Ice Lake.

Qin Xin endured the hellish, bone-chilling cold and the agonizing pain of her spine snapping inch by inch, extending a porcelain-white wrist to strike against the thick layer of ice in a plea for help.

However--

The next second!

"Sister, stop struggling."

"I heard that people who freeze to death get covered in frostbite and turn green—it's called 'corpse green.' It's hideous."

"Brother Jun has long despised you for being a prude, with your cold face and lack of feminine charm. Now, he's even more disgusted by you."

"Sister, just stay in this Ice Lake coffin and wait for the good news of my marriage to Brother Jun, hehe!"

That gentle voice now sounded like a poison-tipped blade, each word causing the girl beneath the ice to weep in agony as she witnessed the most wretched side of life.

This was Qin Wenrou, the younger sister whom she had doted on for over a decade!

To treat her sickly sister, she had abandoned her beloved major in astrophysics to study the dull and arduous field of medicine, working herself to the bone since childhood to buy the most expensive supplements and drugs for Qin Wenrou, and fighting to help her get through high school and into university, only for this??

Qin Wenrou had ambushed her, pushed her into the Ice Lake, and stolen her boyfriend??

Was her life cursed with such rotten luck?

Submerged in the Ice Lake, Qin Xin looked toward the shore in fury, wanting nothing more than to ask if her conscience had been eaten by dogs?!

But... something was wrong.

If the goal was just to steal her man, why was Qin Wenrou drawing her blood?

Could Qin Wenrou's IQ skyrocket and turn her into a genius just by having her blood transfused?

Ha, a blood transfusion isn't a brain transplant!

As Qin Xin's consciousness began to fade from the freezing cold, she felt her porcelain-white wrist clamped by iron pincers, and all the blood in her body being drained away through a thick, black needle...

Was she just going to die like this?

She was so unwilling!

She had poured her life's efforts into a heartless, ungrateful sister; she was not willing to accept this!

Her boyfriend had despised her and betrayed her, making her look like a complete fool; she was not willing to accept this!

She was the genius girl born to the Qin Family once in a century, yet she was to be buried in an ice coffin and frozen to death; she was not willing to accept this!

Why should she die while the scum lived so comfortably?!

Her blood drained away, drop by drop.

Her soul peeled away from her body, bit by bit.

In her ears, a stranger's deep, somber sigh faintly echoed--

"Is she dead?"

Cold...

So cold...!

Qin Xin shivered violently and snapped her eyes open.

Everything around her was white, as if she were in heaven.

Heh, a soft-hearted fool like her would naturally go to heaven.

But now, she would rather be a villain in hell—clear about her grudges, vengeful, and telling all the scum and men to get lost!

"Little Miss... may the gods protect you, you cannot die, boo-hoo-hoo... If you die, Young Master Jue will throw me into a snake pit and lock me in a wolf den..."

A whimpering cry sounded by the bedside.

Qin Xin's brows furrowed slightly.

What Little Miss?

What Young Master Jue?

Where did this idiot man come from, being so brutal as to throw people into snake pits and wolf dens at the drop of a hat?
