Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu



The fateful day arrived. On one side was Shui and Jin's wedding. Jun, who woke up clueless, had no idea what happened to him and how he fell unconscious. But Cai Lingyun was ready with his story to fool him. He, who used to drown himself in alcohol, didn't feel anything wrong to know that he had collapsed and passed out hard after some heavy rounds of drinking.

"I am glad you are okay, Sir…"

Jun noticed his hesitation filled expression and asked, "Why do you look so tense?"

Cai Lingyun brushed him off but Jun remained adamant. 

"Th-that…it's better you are off without knowing Sir…"

"Huh? What is this thing that I am better off without knowing?"

"Sir I don't-"

"Just shut up and tell me already!" Jun only got further irritated with the headache he was already having.

"Today is your brother and Miss. Han Shui's wedding!"

Jun gave him a blank stare. "What?"

Cai Lingyun feigned more tension between his brows. "Yes…It's their wedding today."

"Jin and Shui?"

"Yes."

"That's not possible."

"I-It's true Sir…"

Cai Lingyun was scared shitless with how Jun reacted. Jun's expression twisted with such violence and his body trembled with such rage that he had a strong urge to run away from him. It was scarier when Jun took out a gun and stormed off the condo without saying a word further. 

"H-he reacted as you expected but damn that was scary as hell! He is definitely gonna kill his brother today!"

Zhan Yahui chuckled. Whether he kills him or not doesn't matter. What I want will happen for sure. There is no going back for Liu Jun after today. This is his end."

The present Zhan Yahui watching all this clutched her dress tightly in her palm. Her heart raced faster in her chest, feeling that the moment she was waiting for and why these strange memories were being shown to her would present itself before her at any moment.

The scene of Jin's death came crystal clear before her eyes as Jun accidentally fired a shot to his chest. Cai Lingyun's words came true. Indeed, Jun became the reason behind Jin's death and also the last straw why Nana collapsed.

But the even more sickening feeling pitted in her stomach when she saw herself getting dressed as a nurse and meeting Jun outside the hospital. He was desperately waiting to hear the news that Nana was out of danger.

But instead what he got was - "I am sorry to say but Mrs. Liu has passed away. My condolences."

The past's Zhan Yahui enjoyed Jun's misery, but it was at this moment that the Zhan Yahui of now witnessed the true moment of Liu Jun breaking forever. His brother's and his mother's death had shattered his heart to the point of no return. She stared at his dark brown irises which said countless unsaid things.

Repentance wasn't going to be an option. Not after today. I think you should take a look at

The regret had utterly killed his very soul and it was then she could see the question arise in his eyes - 'Then what was the point of keeping this body alive?'

The will to keep living on had dissipated from his being.

As Jun had seemingly come to a decision, Ai on the other side, faced her own heartbreak for a second time. And this time not just from Yating but also Guiying, who she always considered as her best friend.

Things went just as Zhan Yahui had planned. Ai came to Dream High. After collecting Xing Bi's things, she went to the terrace, not being able to hold herself back from reminiscing about the time she had spent with Yating.

But instead of a peaceful time, what she got was hatred and poison from Guiying. 

"Then my career wasn't enough for you. My elder brother's praises weren't enough for you that you took away the last thing I had in my life. The last thing which was keeping me sane. The man I fell in love with. You had to snatch him away too from me, didn't you?"

The words stung Ai sharper than thorns but the anger in Guiying's eyes hurt even more.

"Only if we hadn't met Zhou Ai!"

Guiying's push made Ai stumble and just as Zhan Yahui had already made all the arrangements, the railing behind her broke apart and she rapidly fell, leaving Guiying and Yating aghast.

Ai fell and kept falling until she landed harshly upon someone's car roof which had just crashed against Dream High building's entrance.

This whole time, Zhan Yahui had her breath stuck in her throat. Her eyes widened as she realized the almost impossible to believe coincidence that Ai fell to her death on none other than Jun's car.

She stared at the scene unfolding before her, wide-eyed and with her lips parted in shock. 

How is this…

She had two separate intentions towards Jun and Ai. Their worlds were different. She had planned differently to get them out of her way but somehow fate connected the seemingly disconnected threads as if it was all a part of just one big knot.

Two people met in their final moments who turned out to be connected to Zhan Yahui. It was so hard to digest that this whole incident felt arbitrary to her.

They breathed their last, ending Liu Jun and Zhou Ai's lives forever.

"This doesn't end here. You didn't stop here."

The same mysterious voice echoed in Zhan Yahui's ears, making her shudder. "What is wrong with you! What is wrong with this place!?"

Instead of any answer, more of the past life's reality came before her to show her what happened after Jun and Ai's deaths.

The Liu family had broken like never before. The three deaths had crushed them to their bones. It was nothing but despair that continued to loom upon them after that dreadful day.

Zhou Yichen and Xie Nuying looked soulless. Ai was their entire world and that in itself had ceased to exist now.

Then there were Guiying and Yating who couldn't believe that Ai fell to her death right before them, especially Guiying who had forced the last push on her.

"What did I do...I killed Ai...I..." Guiying collapsed on her knees, "killed Ai. I am a murderer..."
