Why did you provoke me?

When Yu Meng was nine years old, her eldest brother's marriage was finally arranged. This girl was the one her eldest brother had always liked.

By this time, the eldest brother had already become a martial arts apprentice. He could now express his feelings to the girl he liked.

Yu Meng's line drawing book has only 10 lines left, which she has not yet memorized.

It's not that she can't, it's that she doesn't want to.

Yu Meng's black cat has grown quite a bit. It spends all day lying at Yu Meng's feet, purring and sleeping.

But Yu Hai knew this cat was extraordinary; it could pull a large fish out of the river with a single paw—a fish bigger than the cat itself.

Ever since witnessing this scene, Yu Meng has stopped letting the young man catch fish for the cat.

What Yu Hai didn't know was that the cat didn't eat the small fish he caught. However, the kitten did manage to extract and absorb the fish's faces.

This kitten is the embodiment of the lines in Yu Meng's mind.

When the lines in her mind reached a certain point, Yu Meng felt overcrowded. So she tentatively pulled the lines out of her body. That's why, Yu Meng's essence is unconventional.

No one would be willing to pull the line in their mind out of their body again. If that line is lost, it is a permanent loss.

But if the idea succeeds, she will find a new use for lines.

For example, when making green beads and stone-skin beads, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The first line tugged into her mind. Yu Meng did only one thing. She used the line to make a small hook, and then used it to peel off the fish's face.

Then something strange happened: the little hook actually absorbed the energy from the fish's face.

Yu Meng was stunned for a long time. She had never known that these lines could absorb energy on their own.

So when she brought home the little black cat she had made out of lines, she had no worries at all. Because as the little black cat absorbed various second faces, it would gradually grow. This follows the natural growth pattern of a cat.

However, Yu Meng did not reveal this secret at all. Even Xiu Jie, who was close to her, did not know about it, and the Yu family knew nothing about it either.

The reason Yu Meng was able to do these things so well is because Yu Meng's eyes are special.

Everything she saw was composed of lines. This was a special ability she possessed in her previous life. Therefore, her family at that time both loved and hated her.

The reason for this can be traced back to the gifts that the father brought back.

In her previous life, she was also the youngest child in her family, but that family was a wealthy one.

One time, their father went out and brought them gifts. Since Yu Meng was the youngest, her older siblings let her go first to choose the gifts.

She immediately took a liking to the stone that looked like a foot.

She excitedly carried her gift back to her room. Then she took out her colored pencils and drew five little toes on the stone. Now it looked even more like feet.

As if possessed, she placed her feet on it. And then her world turned upside down.

She noticed that all the furnishings in the room were made of lines. And the small, footprint-shaped stone slowly merged into her right foot.

Her loud crying attracted everyone in the house.

She said her right foot hurt and that her eyes were damaged.

She was taken to the hospital for a thorough medical examination and the most meticulous treatment.

As expected, nothing was found. Her symptoms persisted.

Soon after, her eyesight gradually improved. However, her pupils were darker than normal. And her right leg was also stronger than normal.

Gradually, when she felt she could control her eyeballs, she had been discharged from the hospital and returned home for a month.

She stayed in her room for a month and didn't go anywhere; she felt like she had become a monster.

She was only four years old at the time, so she told her father about all the strange things that happened.

One day, her father suddenly brought a man to her and said, "Sweetie, can you check inside his stomach for anything unusual?"

At that time, she didn't understand. So she simply pointed to a spot and said, "There's a big black spot here."

And so, he became a tool for his father to amass wealth, while also branding himself as a philanthropist.

His hospital's diagnoses were always the most accurate, the treatments always the most thorough, and the recovery always the best. His family became the industry leader.

Little Yu Meng was completely confined to a courtyard. She was not allowed to go out to play, make friends, or even speak a word to the servants who served her.

She could only stay in that courtyard. When her father brought people over, he pointed out the abnormality in her body.

It was a stormy night when Yu Meng saw something different.

Her eyes pierced through the long, dark tunnel and saw a place where a group of people were working, laughing, and living.

Just like the TV shows and movies she watched when she was a child.

This time, however, she felt no fear, no apprehension, only pure joy.

Although the group of people didn't speak to her, she could only watch from afar.

But she grew up alongside the children there. She played all sorts of games with them, went to school with them to learn to read, and went to the fields with them to harvest crops.

They laughed, and she laughed along; they cried, and she cried along with them. This went on for two whole years.

She learned a lot in the past two years. At first, she learned from the children, then she became a big kid herself. Finally, she learned from her parents, and lastly, she even learned from her husband.

She discovered that she had an excellent memory; as long as she paid attention, she could remember anything she had seen and would not forget it.

She was seven years old that year. Using the skills and strategies she had learned, she persuaded her father to let her out of that small courtyard.

Two years of separation from family members has led to a estrangement in their relationship, to the point where they are like strangers to each other.

She didn't force the relationship; she just wanted to live a good life.

Because her father and mother knew her value, they doted on her very much.

Even something as simple as a meal. If she said a dish wasn't good, her father would use all his connections to find the best ingredients and the best chef, and then remake it for her until she was satisfied.

But it was this pampering that made her feel increasingly suffocated.

Everyone looked at her strangely. She became the only one in the spotlight.

Her older siblings' attitudes also changed drastically. When their parents were around, they would carefully coax her, but when their parents left, their expressions changed faster than a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and they would hurl vicious words, rude actions, and even insults for a long time.

It was as if she were the most wicked child, the one who shouldn't exist. So she protected herself.

The man there said that the best protection is to fight back.

So, under some unknown circumstances, both the older brother and sister broke their legs.

Dad lifted his older brother and sister to her side and let her guide the doctor in setting their legs.

Dad said that my older brother is the heir to this family and cannot be disabled.

My older sister will be a pillar of this family from now on. Her health cannot be flawed in the slightest.

She looked at the scars on her wrist. She held out her hand to her father. Her voice was calm as she asked, "And what about me?"

At that moment, her father's gaze was unfamiliar and conflicted, but it eventually turned calm.

He said, "You are the family's cash cow, the family's anchor, and everyone's support. You are the most important."

But Yu Meng couldn't understand why, if he was the most important person to her, he allowed her to be injured? Why did he allow her to be illiterate? Why was her body so frail that she could only sit in a wheelchair?

Yes, the experts advised that she use a wheelchair because her malnutrition had caused osteoporosis, making it unable to support her body. But she clearly eats the best food, lives in the most luxurious room, and is pampered by her parents.

But reality told her that her body was the weakest, and her freedom was restricted. Her every word and action was to be monitored.

My sister can wear a beautiful dress and dance and sing freely and happily on the stage.

My brother can hold a wine glass and twirl freely among a group of beautiful women, chatting and laughing with them.

She could only sit there, silently watching everything. She understood everything, because she wasn't truly an idiot.

She lived like this for more than two years, and when she was almost 10 years old, she grew tired of it.
