She patted my shoulder and said, "So, you don’t have to worry. I won’t harm you."
I looked at her with skepticism, a chill running down my spine.
It turned out that all of this was her own choice.
Indeed, the mindset of a wealthy heiress was beyond my comprehension.
Later, He Li and Zheng Xin went to the adjacent private room, where they found that the people inside had quieted down.
However, scattered across the floor were bodies, pale and exposed.
Each one was naked, their faces still bearing expressions of satisfaction.
He Li picked up a small bottle from the table and waved it in front of me.
"This is what made them unable to resist," she said.
As she opened the bottle and shook out a pill in front of me, she asked, "Do you want to try it?"
I shook my head vigorously. "No! I don’t want to!"
He Li chuckled. "Suit yourself; this is a good thing."
With that, she put the pill back into the bottle and left the private room with Zheng Xin.
Zheng Xin leaned in and whispered to me, "Actually, I’ve already told her the truth, but she believed me."
"What?!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Uh-huh," Zheng Xin said proudly. "I told her that Wang Chen could take her place at home as a doll, and that she could enjoy her freedom. So she believed it."
I looked at him in surprise. "So, will she be fooled by you?"
Zheng Xin let out a cold laugh. "Of course she will, because everyone has their own selfish motives, and she is no exception."
Later, Zheng Xin told me that he had provided He Li with a mix of true and false information, making her believe that Wang Chen could take her place as a doll at home while she could enjoy her freedom.
Thus, He Li agreed to the plan and cooperated with Zheng Xin for the identity swap and implementation of the scheme.
The final step of Zheng Xin's plan was to eliminate the real He Li.
So I helped her buy some things.
In the end, she really died.
"Then why did you take on the job of preparing Sheng for burial?" Chen Zhiyuan said expressionlessly. "And why did you deliberately leave a flaw?"
I gave a bitter smile. "Because I wanted you to know the truth."
"What truth?" Chen Zhiyuan replied coldly.
"The truth about Zheng Xin," I whispered. "In fact, I am nothing but a stand-in."
Chen Zhiyuan frowned. "What do you mean?"
I sighed. "From the very beginning, Zheng Xin was using me. He took me away from sister Hua not to save me, but to make me into Wang Chen."
"Why?" Chen Zhiyuan asked in confusion.
"Because he likes Wang Chen," I whispered. "But Wang Chen doesn't like him, so he wanted me to become Wang Chen."
"So he took you to the capital to live, making your face more and more like Wang Chen's?" Chen Zhiyuan said incredulously.
"Yes," I replied softly. "He had me undergo plastic surgery, learn various skills, and imitate Wang Chen's mannerisms and behavior. He even arranged for me to meet her so I could gradually become familiar with her image and personality."
"Why did you agree to this?" Chen Zhiyuan asked coldly.
"Because I had no choice," I said with a bitter smile. "He has leverage over me. If I refuse, he will hand me over to sister Hua."
"And what about the scars on your face?" Chen Zhiyuan continued coldly.
I touched my left cheek, where a long scar remained—a result of my resistance against Zheng Xin.
"Because I don't want to become Wang Chen," I said quietly. "I want to be myself, not anyone's substitute."
Chen Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, you and Wang Chen are not so different, are you?"
I was taken aback.
"You and Wang Chen are essentially the same kind of person," Chen Zhiyuan said coldly. "You both come from humble beginnings, yearning to change your fate, even at the cost of hurting yourselves to achieve your goals. So fundamentally, you and Wang Chen are the same."
Indeed, I realized that Wang Chen and I were essentially the same. We were both girls from humble backgrounds, desperate to change our destinies.
So we pursue our goals at any cost.
Even if it means harming ourselves to achieve them.
In Zheng Xin's eyes, there is no difference between Wang Chen and me.
Whether it is I or Wang Chen, we are both seen as that girl of humble origins, yearning to change her fate.
That is why he would use me to become Wang Chen.
Because he knows—
Whether I am Zhou Peiyao or Wang Chen, I will always be under his control.
Because I am that kind of person.
Eventually, I decided to give up resisting and let them send me to prison.
I had grown tired of living in constant anxiety.
I would rather plunge into darkness than continue living like this.
After all, I had had enough of that kind of life.
After all, I had suffered for ten years.
