Su Feng and Li Meili entered, their arms full of shopping bags, chattering cheerfully about the various outfits they'd selected.
Zhou Yuxi accepted their offerings with appropriate gratitude, playing the role of the recovering patient perfectly.
But underneath that pleasant mask, her mind was already working.
Already planning.
Already compiling a list of names, people who'd hurt her before, people who'd tried to destroy her.
This was her second life. Her second chance.
And she was going to use every single moment of it to make sure that everyone who'd wronged her, everyone who'd underestimated her, paid in full.
Starting with Dr. Shen Wei's entire network of enablers.
She'd killed him without hesitation, without remorse.
And she'd do it again to every single person who threatened her safety or dismissed her autonomy.
Because Zhou Yuxi had learned something valuable in her first life:
Mercy was a luxury she couldn't afford.
