Chapter 4 - Chapter 6: The Awakening of Power

Darkness receded as dawn approached, but Lin Yue's mind was ablaze with clarity. Her body hummed with energy—a strange but potent force she sensed instinctively. Her resurrection wasn't just physical; it was spiritual, awakening an inner strength she had never known in her previous life.

She rose slowly from the cold floor, feeling the strength ripple through her limbs. Her eyes, once filled with tears and despair, now shimmered with resolve. She knew she had been given a second chance, a gift from the universe—one that came with a heavy price but also a greater responsibility.

She moved towards a shattered mirror hanging on the wall, her reflection wavering as she approached. When she looked into her own eyes now, they held a quiet fire—an unyielding determination. Her face, hardened by pain, also bore the subtle grace of rebirth.

"I am no longer the woman I was," she whispered to her reflection. "This power is mine now. I will use it—no, I must— to right the wrongs done to me and those I love."

Over the next few days, Lin Yue began to understand her new abilities. She could sense things beyond ordinary perception—hidden emotions, secrets buried deep beneath the surface. She could manipulate energies, bending minor forces to her will. Her mind was sharp, alert, and strategic.

She spent hours meditating in the quiet corners of the mansion, visualizing her goals, calling upon her newfound strength. Her tears, once signs of weakness, now fueled her resolve. Every drop of sorrow had become a source of power.

One night, under the pallid light of the moon, she stepped outside the mansion, cloaked in shadows. The world was vast and filled with darkness—yet she felt no fear. She knew her journey was only beginning.

She had identified her enemies—her oppressive mother-in-law, her betraying husband, and the treacherous mistress who callously stole her family. Their cruelty, her suffering, had been their imbalance—her death was their karma.

Now, with her new strength awakening, she would carefully prepare. She would gather information, learn secrets, and slowly strike back—at the right moment.

This was her rebirth. Not merely returning to life, but transforming into a force that could change her destiny—and restore justice.

Her heart was quiet now, but her mind was alive with plans. The universe had given her another chance, and she would seize it.

Her revenge would be swift and certain.
