After Her Death, They Begged for Forgiveness

As everyone knows, the true heiress of the Xu family, Xu Bingqi, is all looks and no substance. Apart from a face as enchanting as a siren’s, she has nothing else to offer and is universally disliked.

Even though Xu Bingqi quietly stays in her own little corner, focused on composing music, everyone believes she has ulterior motives.

Her birth mother accuses her of being scheming, tearfully claiming that Xu Bingqi only approaches her to seize the assets meant for her adopted sister.

Her friends drift further away, knocking the carefully prepared birthday gifts she gave them to the ground, their gazes freezing into ice when they look at her.

And Jiang Ruo, the beloved adopted daughter of the Xu family, the true center of attention and everyone’s favorite, only shrinks into her lover’s arms when Xu Bingqi is falsely accused of plagiarism, timidly saying, “So it was my sister who did all these things.”

Xu Bingqi is like snow fallen to the ground, everyone steps on her, and eventually, the snow truly becomes dirty, turning into a muddy mess.

Later, when Xu Bingqi falls into destitution, afflicted with a terminal illness, everyone sees it as so-called retribution. No one mourns her passing.

After being reborn, Xu Bingqi realizes she is the universally disliked character in a novel, existing only to highlight the protagonist’s favored status.

Xu Bingqi packs her meager belongings and decisively moves out of her former home.

It isn’t until the day her concert achieves great success that everyone discovers the mysterious musical prodigy is the despised true heiress of the Xu family. Then,

Her mother, who had been searching for Xu Bingqi to no avail, tearfully grasps her hand, carefully slipping the jade bracelet she never takes off onto Xu Bingqi’s wrist, her eyes filled with shattered hope: “Bingqi, I only just found out that you were the one taking care of me after the car accident. Please don’t leave me, okay?”

Her friend, with red-rimmed eyes, hands her a self-made apology gift: “Bingqi, I was wrong about you before. Can you forgive me just this once?”

Even Jiang Ruo, the universally adored female lead, stops Xu Bingqi: “Sister, don’t leave me, or I’ll go mad.”

Xu Bingqi: ???

Expressionless, Xu Bingqi smashes the jade bracelet on the ground, throws the apology gift into the trash, and walks away without so much as a glance at any of them.

In her previous life, after being abandoned by everyone, the only one by Xu Bingqi’s side was a proud and aloof little cat, who refused to leave even after her death.

In this new life, the cat has taken human form and latched onto Xu Bingqi once again.

On countless nightmare-filled nights, it is this person who gently strokes her back, whispers tenderly in her ear, and pulls her bit by bit from the quagmire of her past.

This is the only one who, defying the novel’s setting thousands of times, stands firmly by her side.

The light Xu Bingqi dares not profane in this lifetime.

Until one day, drunk, that light sways its tail and gently wraps around her: “I’ve been seducing you for so long, why haven’t you fallen for me yet?”

Shocked, Xu Bingqi’s hand is guided by the other’s pale, slender fingers to touch the fluffy tail. She means to pull back, but she loses herself in the warm, soft texture, unable to withdraw her fingertips for a long time.

But the person beside her pushes further, wrapping an arm around Xu Bingqi’s neck, their voice tender and husky: “Keep going, touch a little higher…”
