However, all of this was in his past life. Xie Yuansheng had given Feng Xinying a very hard time in his past life.

Xie Yuansheng had loved Feng Xinying from the time he had seen her for the first time in the high school. He was a quiet student who was mature beyond his age while Feng Xinying was the feistiest girl he had ever seen. He wanted to control her and tame her. All her actions were only to prove herself in this world. She had so many walls around her, which he could see but never attempted to chase her. He adored her from afar. He had to prove himself to be her suitor before he could even go to her. He knew she wasn't an easy person and would reject him right away.

He had worked hard to be better than her only so that she would notice him. However, when he got the top student award, she left the country, which left him with a bitter taste. Then he came to know that his aunt, Xie Weihui, was marrying none other than Feng Zhantian.

Over the years, he had only one good friend, w.a.n.g Zǐróng. She had been his constant companion through thick and thin. When Xie Yuansheng graduated from his college with an engineering degree, Feng Zhantian offered him the position of manager to work with him. With his exceptional intelligence and dedication, Xie Yuansheng was able to capture the heart of Feng Zhantian. Feng Zhantian had started seeing him as his successor in the absence of Feng Xinying.

Xie Yuansheng had helped Feng Zhantian from a hostile takeover of the Feng Conglomerate, which only made him all the more suited for the company.

Feng Zhantian would often look at his daughter's photo and become unhappy. However, his pride never allowed him to go and get her back. He had already made his will. One day, Feng Zhantian suffered from a major stroke, leaving the company to Xie Yuansheng.

Xie Yuansheng had gone to California to get Feng Xinying back to China. She was forced into a marriage with Xie Yuansheng according to the will by none other than Xie Yuansheng himself.

Ever since he had left high school and never saw her again, he had made sure that one day he would make her his bride. With that in mind, he never paid attention to any other women. w.a.n.g Zǐróng had given him so many hints that she wanted to marry him, but he only saw her as his friend. Since there was no one else in his life, w.a.n.g Zǐróng didn't bother much.

When Feng Xinying came back to China, she was shocked to see that her father had left the company to Xie Yuansheng. She confronted him and quarreled with him, which agitated him so much that he slapped her hard. He had saved the company from hostile takeover, and this is what he was rewarded with.

Feng Xinying slapped him back, making him so angry that in his anger he raped her just to teach her a lesson that he was the man in charge.

He used to have s.e.x with her every night, and if she refused, he would tie her up and have s.e.x with her anyway. He had kept people who would follow her around to keep an eye on all her activities.

w.a.n.g Zǐróng was extremely jealous of the marriage, and she took every opportunity to pull down Feng Xinying, whether it was in private or public. Once, she drugged her and sent her to a hotel as a gift to one of their compet.i.tors, who was standing as their rival. But Xie Yuansheng came to know about it and reached the room. He found her drugged and thought that Feng Xinying had become a drug addict. He took her home and raped her all night only to teach her a lesson.

Feng Xinying had become so depressed with her life that after that night, in the morning, she ran out to the parking garage to take a car and flee from there. Xie Yuansheng ran after her to stop her and get her back. But by the time he reached the front, she had driven the car away. All of a sudden, he saw that she was reversing the car. He smirked at her and thought that she was coming back, but Feng Xinying ran the car over him, leaving him severely injured. His body became stiff and cold, and his memories froze. He saw that Feng Xinying came out of the car and stood over him, gazing at him as he died.

Xie Yuansheng suddenly realized where he went wrong with things as his memories flashed across his eyes like a movie reel. He realized that he had hurt Feng Xinying. He forced things upon her that she never wanted. He had captured her and made her his prisoner only because of his extreme jealousy and his mad love for her. He had raped her so many times that she had become unbalanced. She did only what he wanted, dressed only the way he wanted her to. He had become ruthless to his wife, to someone whom he loved greatly.

He was rushed to the hospital and into the operation room. If only he could make things right again… He died on the operation table.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in his room all over again. Did he come back to life?

He went to the living room and saw that his aunt was crying over the death of Feng Zhantian.

He remembered so well that he, Xie Yuansheng, was killed by none other than Feng Xinying, so how come he was back in the Feng manor? He looked at his watch and saw the date and time. It was the same date when Uncle Feng Zhantian had died. His aunt looked up at him and ran to embrace him. "Yuansheng, he died without giving me a warning."

Xie Yuansheng was utterly surprised at this. Did he get another chance to rectify his past mistakes? That meant he had another chance to be with Feng Xinying. But would she come back?

He held his aunt tightly and said, "Sorry, Aunt Weihui…"

He called all the relatives, and then the first thing he did was to send an email to Feng Xinying's secretary, Keira, about this incident.

His eyes became bright at the thought. "I will make sure that I give her a better life this time…" And this time, he was determined to make things right between them.

An hour later when he checked his email, he was informed that she was coming to attend her father's funeral. He was relieved.
