Part 1The Lucky Charm Revenge

In my last life, my mom, wanting to repay a kindness, revealed my "lucky charm" constitution. I was married into the powerful Tang family as a matrilocal husband to bring luck and healing to their heiress, Tang Wen, who was terminally ill.

A month later, Tang Wen, who was diagnosed with days to live, miraculously recovered.

The Tang elders were ecstatic, showering me with stocks, houses, and cars.

But on my birthday, Tang Wen imprisoned and tortured me.

Broken, I asked her why.

She sneered, "I was never sick! You forged my medical records with your mom to marry into money, claiming I had late-stage stomach cancer. You broke me and Jax up, causing his depression and suicide!"

Tang Wen brutally severed my limbs and threw me in front of a grave.

"Didn't you say you're a lucky charm? Let's see you luck him back to life!"

I bled out in agony. Before dying, I learned I repaid the wrong kindness; my savior was someone else.

My parents were targeted by the Tangs—one dead, one driven mad.

My soul wept tears of blood, regretting saving this ungrateful wolf.

Then I opened my eyes, back to the day Mrs. Tang came to find me.

Mrs. Tang asked me if "bringing luck" through marriage really worked miracles, if it could save someone with one foot in the grave.

I smiled. "If she's sick, see a doctor. Believe in science. The 'lucky charm' thing is just my mom's superstition. Don't take it seriously."

My constitution was always a family secret.

In my past life, if we hadn't mistaken my savior, I wouldn't have married into the Tang family to save Tang Wen.

Not only was she ungrateful, she destroyed my family.

In this life, let's see how Tang Wen fares without me!

But even after I said that, Mrs. Tang wouldn't give up.

"Better safe than sorry. Marrying my daughter is no loss to you. Let's try it."

The Tangs were powerful. If they wanted to force me, they had ways.

I frowned, about to find an excuse, when Tang Wen rushed in.

"Mom, I won't marry Xavier! My husband will only be Jax!"

Seeing her reaction, I knew she was reborn too.

Mrs. Tang looked troubled. "But your health..."

Tang Wen said hatefully, "I'm perfectly fine. Here's my real medical report. The stomach cancer and lucky charm nonsense were lies made up by Xavier and his mom to climb the social ladder!"

She shoved a report into Mrs. Tang's hands.

Mrs. Tang glanced at it, her expression changing instantly. She called me a liar and ordered the servants to kick me out.

I was disgusted, but happy to cut ties with the Tangs. I turned to leave.

But I hadn't gone far when Tang Wen shouted from behind: "Stop!"

I pretended not to hear and kept walking.

"Xavier, I said stop! Are you deaf?"

Tang Wen jogged over to block me, and suddenly vomited a large pool of blood.

Her body couldn't handle the exertion.

I stepped back in disgust. "What?"

Tang Wen was furious at my reaction. "You dare be disgusted? Usually when I cough blood, you're the most worried. Why aren't you worried now?"

That was when I thought she was my savior and my wife.

But she wasn't my savior, and she destroyed my family. Why should I care?

"Miss Tang is mistaken. We don't know each other..."

Before I could finish, Tang Wen interrupted angrily.

"Stop acting, Xavier. When you admitted the lucky charm thing was fake to my mom, I knew you were reborn too!"

Seeing the jig was up, I looked at her. "So?"

Tang Wen sneered. "In this life, don't think you can trick me with your lucky charm or stomach cancer lies. Saying you married me to repay a kindness... hilarious. I never saved you!"

Her smug, self-righteous look was annoying.

But I couldn't be bothered to argue with a dying person. I just wanted to make things clear.

"Don't worry, Miss Tang. I realized I mistook my savior and I don't like you. I absolutely won't marry you this time."
