To Rise Again in the Apocalypse

Episode 2.1

Episode 2.1

Jul 18, 2019

Li XinWen stared at the man with a complicated look. According to the original's memories, this man is Xue Rui and is indeed the original's patron. Rich, powerful, and owns the no. 1 entertainment company in Huaxia. The scary thing is that, the entertainment company is not his only business. In fact, he also has his hands on one of the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world. Aside from being Li XinWen's patron, Xue Rui is also his sister's fiancé!

The only reason why Li XinWen was in an indecent relationship with Xue Rui was because the latter had taken a fancy to him and used Li XinWen's weakness against him.

Li XinWen looked back through his memories. A particular scene came to mind. Xue Rui had come to visit him during the filming of his second work after his debut. Back then, Li XinWen had only known Xue Rui for a week after his sister introduced the man to the family as her fiancé. Xue Rui acted like a gentleman and Li XinWen did not feel suspicious at all. It wasn’t until break time when the two of them were left alone in Li XinWen’s dressing room did he show his true colours.

Xue Rui came on to him, and started to harass Li XinWen. To Li XinWen's surprise he pushed Xue Rui away and a scuffle ensued. Li XinWen was about to leave the room when Xue Rui threatened him that he was going to cut off the engagement with his sister. ‘What a scum! This person had the audacity to use Li XinWen's affection towards his sister as a means to push him to a corner.’ The feeling of revulsion welled up from the pit of Li XinWen's stomach at the memory.

"I apologize Rui-ge, I am still feeling the effects of the medicine and did not recognize you earlier. Pray tell what brings you here? Is my sister with you?" Li XinWen responded trying his hardest to suppress his revulsion.

"JingHua still had work, so I came alone," Xue Rui answered with a hint of sensual malice. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel a lot better, thank you. Most of the wounds have healed and the more serious injuries remaining have also almost healed completely."

"Good."

"..."

"..."

The awkward silence that came after, made Li XinWen uncomfortable while Xue Rui seemed to enjoy watching Li XinWen's discomfort. After a while, Xue Rui finally moved. At first, Li XinWen thought he was going to leave so he closed his eyes and sighed. But then, he felt the bed dip slightly and sensed someone hovering over him. By the time he opened his eyes, it was already too late. Soft lips pressed against his and Li XinWen's eyes widened in surprise. 'This bastard is very daring!'

Li XinWen clenched his fists and he was about to punch Xue Rui regardless of his injuries when Xue Rui suddenly pulled away as if sensing what Li XinWen was about to do.

The sound of the door sliding open brought him back to his senses. There standing in the doorway was a young woman in her early twenties. She carried herself with such confidence and authority that the air around her seem energized. She wore a simple black office dress that went just below the knee and accessorized by a simple pair of gold earrings and a pandora necklace. Her hair was tied to a neat bun and she wore a pair of nude 8-centimeters pumps and carried a croc-embossed leather envelope clutch. The young woman was Li JingHua, Li XinWen's sister, and Xue Rui's fiancé. 

She exuded power as she entered the room. She was so put together except for the fact that she was carrying what looked like a plastic bag on her other hand.

Li XinWen is a cultivator as well as a peak master of Soaring Heaven Sect. Having obtained a treasure that made even his fellow sect members turn green-eyed, Li XinWen was betrayed and had everything taken away from him. Years of cultivation gone for naughts in the face of death and yet, his soul is unwilling to let everything go.

The next time he opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar world, in an unfamiliar body. By coincidence or fate, the body he's inhibiting was also called Li XinWen. Except, this Li XinWen is a mortal and an actor at that! The master cultivator then decided that since he had been given second chance, he may as well use it.
