"Awake?"
The man's deep voice was like fine wine, like shattered jade.
She hummed in confusion.
Then, the man asked again, "Are you ready?"
His voice was clear and distant, its timbre like sweet wine seeping into the heart.
Inexplicably intriguing and unfathomable.
This was definitely not an auditory hallucination!
Could it be that she wasn't dead???
Ready...
Ready for what?
Suddenly, a life that didn't belong to her flashed through her memory.
Once a top-tier celebrity, Tiana Thorne.
Caught on camera in a taxi with intimate videos of two men, her popularity plummeted to zero in an instant, becoming an outdated actress everyone critiqued.
Her career took a nosedive, but with her alluring beauty, she wasn't completely sidelined by her company.
Numerous directors and producers sought to exploit her, but she refused, ultimately falling into the ranks of lower-tiered stars, with no chance of recovery.
Now, her mother needed an investment to secure her sister the leading role in "Fox Fairy," and thus offered her up as a sacrifice.
The other party: the fearsome Mr. Aiden Shaw of the Shaw family.
Her fox-like eyes squinted slightly. In an accident, Aiden Shaw suffered injuries and could no longer be close to women, reportedly also living in fear of them...
As a result, his personality became unpredictable and fierce. Even though he was immensely powerful and wealthy, no one dared to marry him.
Some daring socialite ladies tried to form alliances, but none of them ended well.
After that, no one dared to approach him, and precisely because of this, he remained single.
Now, Aiden Shaw needed an heir.
She was surrounded by scandals; her mother said it was just media hype in the entertainment industry, but precisely because no one dared to approach him, this opportunity arose.
However, she had to undergo verification.
Was it to verify her body now, to prepare her?
If the verification was successful, she would marry Aiden Shaw and have an heir for him through artificial means.
These memories annoyed her immensely.
Having finally reincarnated, she hadn't yet enjoyed her freedom and independence; marriage was the last thing on her mind.
As far as she knew, Tiana Thorne's mother was not her biological mother; neither she nor her father knew this.
Ha.
From now on, with the nine-tailed fox's spirit within her, she would rewrite her life and live freely and happily.
She wouldn't let anyone bully her, even a little, nor those she cared about.
Returning to her thoughts, Tiana Thorne clearly sensed the cold aura emanating from the man.
Aiden Shaw patiently awaited her response, seated on the sofa, legs casually crossed, his deep, dark eyes watching her.
He seemed to be waiting for her reply, his patience gradually wearing thin.
Tiana shifted, removing the blindfold over her eyes, adjusting to the glaring light, and curved her red lips. "I understand, but with the blindfold on, how can you know what I look like, whether I can be your wife?"
Aiden Shaw's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly but remained silent.
As Tiana adjusted to the light, she finally saw the man's appearance clearly.
This Mr. Shaw wasn't bad-looking.
Especially his eyes—narrow, deep, slightly narrowed, and mysteriously inviolable.
His chiseled features were distinct, with eyebrows like blades of ink, a strong nose, lips with unfathomable glow.
Especially his slightly squinted eyes, they were captivating, as if they could see through her soul.
In her past life, she ascended to the celestial realm after a millennium of training to find her savior but had to undergo a heavenly trial.
That lightning strike took her life, and even destroyed her stunning beauty.
In this life, destiny had her meet such a handsome man upon waking. Could this be a form of compensation?
If she consumed him, perhaps she could return to the celestial realm.
The faint scent of musk wrapped around him wafted under her nose, intoxicating her heart.
It seemed familiar, distant yet real.
But she couldn't remember when she had smelled this scent before...
Suddenly, Aiden Shaw stood up from the sofa, his tall, commanding presence overwhelming with each step.
Then, he paused in front of her.
Male Lead: Aiden Shaw (pronounced "Ah-y-den"), not to be confused with "Shaw Le Han," which doesn't sound good...
Just realized someone got the name wrong, let me remind you in the first chapter, mwah~
