In fact, I am not Ah Ma's biological daughter.

I am actually a child that Ah Ma picked up.

Ah Ma brought me back to raise me as a foster daughter for her son, otherwise she wouldn't be so kind.

Ah Ma's son is Li Yao.

Ah Ma named me Li Ai, meaning to love Li Yao wholeheartedly.

Since I can remember, Ah Ma told me to love Li Yao wholeheartedly, and when I grow up, I should marry Li Yao.

Although Ah Ma was strict with me, Li Yao was good to me.

I thought that living a simple life with Li Yao in the village would be nice.

But three years ago, Li Yao died trying to save me.

His body sank to the bottom of the pond, never resurfacing.

I was devastated and made a grave for Li Yao.

But Ah Ma destroyed the grave.

Ah Ma said Li Yao would come back.

I thought she was talking nonsense out of grief.

But a few days later, Ah Ma kicked me out of the house.

She told me to bring a young man back before Li Yao's death anniversary next year. This man had to be tall, handsome, wealthy, and healthy.

Otherwise, never come back.

Heartbroken, I left the village and came to the big city.

I racked my brains to come up with a way to lure someone to the village under the guise of meeting the parents in a relationship.

Luckily, being young and pretty, I soon attracted a man.

After a few months of dating, I learned about his family and health condition and felt he met Ah Ma's three requirements.

I told him my Ah Ma wanted to meet him.

He immediately followed me back to the village.

Ah Ma seemed very pleased with him and was willing to marry me off to him.

On the night of Li Yao's death anniversary, Ah Ma asked him to go to the pond to fetch fruit wine, and he happily went.

But only Ah Ma returned.

I asked Ah Ma, "Where is he?"

Ah Ma calmly said, "I pushed him into the pond. But Li Yao's spirit did not possess him. Go find another young man to bring back before Li Yao's next death anniversary."

I knew Ah Ma failed to resurrect Li Yao.

That man perished at the bottom of the pond.

Once again, I left the village.

A year later, just before Li Yao's death anniversary, I brought another boyfriend home to meet Ah Ma.

Ah Ma was not very satisfied with the second man, finding him lacking at less than 180 cm.

Despite her displeasure, time was running out to deceive another man back to the village.

Ah Ma used the excuse of sending men to the pond for fruit wine.

So, I patiently waited at home.

I wondered if this time Ah Ma could successfully revive Li Yao.

As a result, the second attempt also failed.

The second man also perished at the bottom of the pond.

Alone at home, Ah Ma was no longer calm:

"There are only three chances! We've used up two, so we're left with one last chance. Li Ai, we must succeed."

Ah Ma gripped my wrist, causing excruciating pain.

"Li Ai, if we fail this last chance, you will go to the bottom of the pond to accompany my son."

A hint of cruelty flashed in Ah Ma's eyes.

Shaking with fear, I understood that Ah Ma meant what she said.

I left the village that night.

I had to find a young man who met Ah Ma's three requirements, date him, and then lure him to the village.

This third man was Fang Tian.

On Li Yao's death anniversary, I saw Ah Ma helping Fang Tian back home.

I was uncertain in my heart.

Was the person in front of me Fang Tian? Or was it Li Yao resurrected in Fang Tian's body?

I tried to talk to Fang Tian to determine it through his response.

But Ah Ma stopped me.

For the next two days, Ah Ma took care of Fang Tian closely, not allowing me near.

In my heart, I had a faint answer.

Fang Tian did not return.

It was Li Yao who came back.

Normally, I should've been happy that Li Yao returned.

But why couldn't I be happy?

Fang Tian, I'm sorry, it's my fault!

In the next life, you must find a good girl, get married, have children, and live happily and safely.
