My Paranoid Girlfriend Asks Me to Be Her Kept Woman (Rebirth) - Chapter 1

“Who are you?”

Lin Yi stood above a stretch of empty void, ripples spreading beneath her feet.

“I am Wuming.”

The lotus flower glowing with soft light had a gentle voice, warm like a mother’s.

“Where is this?”

Lin Yi was lost and confused. Just a moment ago, she had still been in a hospital ward, where the doctor had pronounced her dead—time of death, 6:05:24 in the morning. The instant she closed her eyes, she found herself floating here, and in front of her was a white lotus flower???

“This is the Sea of Fate.”

The petals of the white lotus trembled, and beneath Lin Yi’s feet, the world of her life before death flashed like a kaleidoscope.

From her childhood, when she was still babbling, to her first steps into society as an adult.

Lin Yi was so shocked she could not speak, until she saw her own grave. It was buried on the most scenic mountain in Huaicheng, with clear waters and beautiful hills. On the tombstone were carved the words: “Grave of My Beloved Wife, Lin Yi.”

Lin Yi covered her mouth. Tears spilled from her eyes, turning into specks of white light that scattered into the void.

“Are you trying to disappear?” the white lotus asked in confusion. “You’re a complete energy body right now. Every tear you shed consumes your life energy.”

“If you keep crying like this, I won’t be able to send you back.”

The image beneath Lin Yi’s feet flashed and disappeared. She raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears.

“What?”

“Don’t you want to go back?” The white lotus floated around Lin Yi in a circle. “Your obsession is very deep.”

“I can go back?”

“Of course!” The white lotus leaped happily in midair. “As long as you return to the human world and collect the seven substances of the mortal realm—love, hate, anger, obsession, greed, evil, and desire—you’ll be able to return to the world of the living!”

“Return to the world of the living?” Lin Yi asked.

“Yes. My energy can send you back from the Sea of Fate. Where do you want to return to?”

The white lotus suddenly sank, drifting into the Sea of Fate. Specks of starlight appeared beneath Lin Yi’s feet. In an instant, the starlight spread outward from under her, and a fierce wind rose.

Lin Yi was lifted by the strong wind. The white lotus’s voice sounded faint and blurred.

“I know!”

“My name is Wuming. When you encounter a substance that can be collected, you will naturally sense me! #￥%&*@#￥￥… Good luck!”
