After her ninth miscarriage, she finally let her scumbag husband and her beloved get together.

The wind and rain turned into a light drizzle.

Xu Wantang woke up slowly, and the only light in the room was a small, worn-out table lamp.

Cen Yuan sat quietly to the side with his back to him and his eyes closed, his figure upright.

With hands resting on the knees, the prayer beads hang naturally.

Half of his face was hidden in the dim light, his outline like that of a deity in an ancient painting, deep and aloof.

Xu Wantang didn't dare to disturb them and ran away quietly.

Completely unaware of the man behind her, she slowly turned a prayer bead.

Xu Wantang returned to her room under the cover of night.

Unexpectedly, someone was still waiting for her.

She was Cen Shichuan's maid.

She didn't bother to look at Xu Wantang any longer, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Third Young Master sent me to say that his cufflinks have been found."

Then, she casually pointed to the things on the table.

"Use your household supplies sparingly this month."

After saying that, the maid turned and left.

Xu Wantang looked at the table, which was full of disposable items.

There was also a line of text written on the plastic seal.

This is a single-use item. Please do not reuse it. Dispose of it in the trash can after use.

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Cen Shichuan, however, repeatedly mocked her for how cheap she was.

Xu Wantang gave a bitter smile, but her heart was much calmer.

She threw all of these things into the trash can and turned to change her clothes.

While taking off her clothes, she touched something that didn't belong to her.

Cashmere blanket.

No wonder she wasn't cold at all just now.

She picked up the cashmere blanket, and the image of her deep figure in the lamplight floated into her mind.

The thought of falling asleep right under his nose made my face flush.

Xu Wantang suppressed her wild thoughts, changed her clothes, and lay down directly on the bare mattress.

Fortunately, the Cen family is very generous to their servants, and the mattresses are all designer brands.

She was covered with a cashmere blanket and quickly fell asleep.

She soon fell into a nightmare, and when she opened her eyes, she was lying in a hospital bed.

When she turned her head, she saw her face reflected on the screen of the instrument, which showed her swollen and haggard appearance.

She had lost count of how many miscarriages she had suffered.

In a daze, I heard Cen Shichuan talking to the doctor.

"Just clean her up and give her a good conditioning so she can prepare for the next IVF attempt."

"Third Young Master, Miss Xu suffered a miscarriage due to a car accident. Given her current physical condition, it would be best if she did not get pregnant for the next six months. As far as I know, Miss Xu is a dancer. If she gets pregnant despite her health, not only will she lose the baby, but she may also be unable to dance for the rest of her life."

No.

Xu Wantang shook her head vigorously.

Dance is the only thing in this world that truly belongs to her!

She can't dance anymore!

Cen Shichuan, however, didn't care and coldly said, "I only want her to get pregnant, I didn't say I wanted her to give birth. As for dancing, does she even deserve it?"

In her dream, Xu Wantang thought she had misheard because she was too heartbroken about losing her child.

But it was indeed after this pregnancy that she was no longer able to dance.

They can't even do the most basic dance moves.

Unfortunately, in the end, she couldn't even keep her child.

At that moment, she truly felt like a sinner, deserving to be abandoned by the whole world.

I'm in a daze every day.

It turns out that Cen Shichuan knew everything.

He turned a blind eye and watched her lose everything!

In a daze, Cen Shichuan gradually approached her, his handsome face bearing a cold smile.

Even Xu Wantang in real life felt a chill run down her spine.

She instinctively wrapped the cashmere blanket around herself tighter.

But it's still not enough.

She wrapped herself in a cashmere blanket from head to toe.

The faint scent of sandalwood permeated every breath she took, bringing her a sense of peace, and the nightmares gradually faded away.

……

West Courtyard.

Lin Yue waited until Xu Wantang left before entering the room a while later.

As soon as I entered, I saw Cen Yuan flipping through a book.

He stepped closer and glanced at it: "Wasn't this the page we were looking at yesterday? No, it was this page before we returned to the manor. Second Young Master, aren't you supposed to be able to read ten lines at a glance? How come..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cen Yuan looked up at him.

He wisely kept quiet and changed his words, saying, "Second Young Master, as you predicted, Third Young Master went to investigate the surveillance footage again."

"Um."

"Why didn't you tell the Third Young Mistress...?"

Lin Yue met Cen Yuan's deep gaze and shut up again.

……

The next morning, Xu Wantang was not woken up by an alarm clock, but by a calendar reminder.

Registration deadline for the Youth Dance Competition.

This was Xu Wantang's dream when she graduated.

In her dream, she was already lying in a hospital bed undergoing in vitro fertilization.

After seeing this notification, I deleted it with tears in my eyes.

Actually, it wasn't her who initially loved dancing, but Xu Chuxue.

Worried that learning to dance would be too strenuous for Xu Chuxue, her parents sent her to dance classes as well.

They say they're sisters and can look out for each other, but in reality...

The little girl not only had to prepare dance shoes and costumes for Xu Chuxue.

We also need to prepare warm water for her to warm up in advance.

Xu Chuxue is underweight and cannot eat, so her younger sister, who is still growing, has to go hungry with her.

Once, she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore and secretly ate a piece of bread.

The mother slapped her across the face until she spat out the bread crumbs.

"Are you really that greedy? Your sister worked so hard to lose weight for the competition, and you have to sneak a bite at this crucial moment? You're really embarrassing yourself. You're not allowed to eat tonight!"

From then on, Xu Wantang never ate dinner again.

Not only that.

Xu Chuxue was taking a one-on-one class with a top teacher, while she was in a large class with dozens of other students.

At first, she was very resistant to dancing, but as she practiced, she grew to like it more and more, and even enjoyed the exhilarating process.

Gradually, she rose from a supporting role on the far side to the front row.

She even caught the eye of the famous teacher who trained Xu Chuxue.

She told her parents that she was willing to tutor one more student for free.

Xu Wantang was excited all night that day.

The next day, Mom said the teacher had been changed because the new teacher had poor judgment.

No one ever asked her if she was willing, because her name alone revealed her parents' favoritism towards Xu Chuxue.

The first snow symbolizes purity and hope.

Wan Tang was born at the wrong time and was not expected to be loved.

She was destined to live in Xu Chuxue's shadow.

ding ding...

The notification sound rang again, pulling Xu Wantang back to reality.

This time, she wants to live for herself.

She opened the registration website, quickly filled in the information, and finally clicked submit.

Staring at the words "submission successful," Xu Wantang remained lost in thought for a long time.

I'm afraid all of this is just a dream.

After some time, my phone vibrated.

Upon seeing the number, Xu Wantang immediately answered the call.

"teacher."

"I saw your registration information. Are you really planning to participate in the competition? This competition is related to the selection of top dance troupes, it's not a game." The teacher's tone was a little strange.

"Teacher, I'm serious," Xu Wantang quickly said, afraid that her teacher wouldn't believe her.

"But...aren't you trying to conceive?" the teacher asked hesitantly.

The words "preparing for pregnancy" hit the nail on the head.

Xu Wantang felt as if something was choking her, her breath caught in her throat, and it took her a long time to find her voice again.

"Teacher, what are you saying?"

"Online reports say that you did this to get pregnant... People can be very nauseating."

The teacher didn't say it explicitly, but just sighed and continued, "Wantang, Third Young Master has already spoken to the competition committee. Your registration has been rejected, but you've been my student for five years. I don't believe those rumors, so I've kept your spot open for you. But you only have three days to deal with this."

"Thank you, teacher. I understand."

Xu Wantang hung up the phone with trembling hands, then opened the report with trembling hands.

A striking headline immediately catches the eye.

"In order to have a child for the Third Young Master, the wicked Xu Wantang went so far as to bribe a doctor to tamper with the diagnosis."

This was followed by photos of her appearing in a gynecology clinic, and even...
