Murong Qiuyue wasn’t originally from this world.
She was a cultivator from the Xiu Zhen realm who had failed her transcendence trial and was reborn into this ordinary world.
Although this world didn’t have much spiritual energy, it did have some individuals with special abilities.
Every country had them.
Murong Qiuyue was now a member of Huaxia’s Dragon Group.
Everyone in the Dragon Group was an ability user, and she was one of the more powerful members.
Xu Anyuan, as well as the original owner’s boyfriend, had gotten to know her through the ability users’ group.
She was really surprised to come back to the country this time and find out that Xu Anyuan had actually gotten married. That’s why she waited until now, specifically to see what kind of person he had married.
She had searched high and low within the ability users’ group but couldn’t find anyone named “Ye Shaohua.”
But seeing her in person now, she realized the other woman was just an ordinary person without any abilities at all.
Murong Qiuyue couldn’t help but want to laugh. A weakling like this – if Xu Anyuan’s enemies ever showed up, Ye Shaohua would be dead before she even had a chance to run, right?
She just couldn’t understand why Xu Anyuan would marry her.
For a moment, Murong Qiuyue, who had been somewhat wary of Ye Shaohua, suddenly felt nothing at all.
After all… they belonged to a different world from Ye Shaohua. Just as she had said earlier, Ye Shaohua would never, in this lifetime, be able to reach her level.
Thinking this, she started her car and drove off.
But just before leaving, she flicked her finger.
A stream of energy shot directly towards Ye Shaohua and Xu Tianjiao.
This kind of energy wouldn’t hurt anyone; it would just make the two of them trip and fall on the street, embarrassing themselves.
Murong Qiuyue looked into the rearview mirror, waiting for them to fall flat on their faces. But after waiting for a while, nothing happened. She frowned, puzzled. “Was there not enough energy?”
She wondered about it for a moment, then promptly forgot about the two ordinary women.
“That woman! And she’s called the Nation’s Sweetheart? Pfft, as if! I’ll post this recording online,” Xu Tianjiao grumbled, frowning. Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind lift her skirt. “Shaohua, do you feel that chill?”
“No,” Ye Shaohua said, curling her hand into a subtle fist and letting out a soft laugh. “Come on, let’s head back.”
Earlier, when she had first accepted the original owner’s memories.
She had started to wonder, was this world really this simple?
But looking at it now, it wasn’t that the world was simple. It was that the original owner had no idea that another level to this world existed, one she would never know about.
Ability users…
Ye Shaohua stroked her chin thoughtfully. She hadn’t encountered anything like this yet.
She wondered if this world’s ability users were as powerful as the people from the magical world she’d known.

“Shaohua, why did you divorce Mr. Xu?” After hearing that Ye Shaohua had actually divorced Xu Anyuan, the original owner’s mother, Liu Fang, couldn’t believe it and called her home.
Wei Ruya stood nearby, arms crossed, watching the drama unfold.
“I bet Mr. Xu was the one who asked for it,” she sneered.
Ye Shaohua replied lazily, “We just weren’t right for each other.”
“Not right for each other? What’s that supposed to mean?” Liu Fang said earnestly. “You’re twenty-four now. At your age, I had already given birth to you. You’re not getting any younger; finding anyone to marry you is lucky, let alone someone like Mr. Xu. Others would pray for eight lifetimes for such a chance! Besides Mr. Xu, who else do you think would want to marry you?”
As she spoke, she started to wipe away tears.
Ye Shaohua, finding it all a headache, said, “Whether I marry or not, I can support myself. You don’t need to worry about that.”
If it weren’t for the fact that some of the original owner’s things were still here, she wouldn’t have come back at all.
“Shaohua, how can you talk to your mother like that?” Liu Fang hadn’t expected her daughter, who had always listened to her before, to speak to her this way. “Who am I doing all this for?”
“You wanted me to give up oil painting and choose finance. You wanted me to give up the chance to study abroad and stay here with you,” Ye Shaohua said, recalling the memories from the original owner’s mind, her gaze fixed on Liu Fang. “Do you really think that wasn’t enough?”
Liu Fang was completely stunned by her daughter’s sudden assertiveness.
Ye Shaohua ignored her and went straight upstairs to the original owner’s room to pack a few things.
Calling it the original owner’s room was generous; it was really just a storage room in the Wei family’s house where they had squeezed in a bed.
The Wei family had never prepared a proper room for her, and Liu Fang had never once cared about that.
Wei Ruya stood to the side, watching the mother and daughter, and couldn’t help but snicker.
She genuinely loathed Ye Shaohua.
For the past year, Ye Shaohua and her mother had lived in their house, acting like the lady of the manor. In the end, that young master from the An family had broken off the engagement.
Although seeing that happen gave Wei Ruya some satisfaction, Ye Shaohua still annoyed her every time she saw her.
Now, Xu Anyuan couldn’t stand her either and wanted a divorce. Thinking about this, the last bit of resentment in Wei Ruya’s heart dissolved.
She felt great.
See, she had said it all along – someone like her didn’t deserve to marry Xu Anyuan.
Just then, the doorbell at the Wei residence rang.
Wei Zhengxuan, who was by the door, opened it and was taken aback. “Anyuan?”
Xu Anyuan had never known he could like someone this much. From the moment he first saw Murong Qiuyue, he had been captivated by her. Especially since she was younger than him, yet a first-level member of the Dragon Group – mysterious and outstanding – Xu Anyuan found himself completely immersed.
He had originally thought Murong Qiuyue had gone abroad and would never return.
But he never expected to see her again.
Thinking of this, Xu Anyuan’s heart couldn’t help but race with excitement. But first, he had to deal with the Ye Shaohua situation.
He tugged at his tie irritably.
Seeing that Wei Zhengxuan had opened the door, his expression softened slightly. “Where’s Ye Shaohua? Tell her to come out!”
When he had gone home today, his grandfather had yelled at him again. Xu Anyuan sneered – how could he have ever thought that scheming woman Ye Shaohua was honest? He must have been blind before.
But Ye Shaohua was sorely mistaken if she thought complaining to his grandfather would stop him from divorcing her. He would never fall for an ordinary person.
