The reasons she colludes with the powerful

Li Yan never imagined that such a scene would appear in her dreams.

Her chest felt heavy, making it difficult to move. Trying to push away, her wrists were bound by a fiery restraint, pressing tightly against her ears. She struggled to open her eyes, but it was pitch black.

"Kristina..."

Who?

As her clothes brushed against her skin, a layer of coolness faded away, instantly replaced by warmth.

The sense of imminent exposure forced Li Yan to jolt awake, struggling to see her surroundings. What met her eyes was a pair of deep, steady eyes.

Like black jade, they emitted a passionate fire from within; the lines around them were exceptionally exquisite, exuding a gentle elegance.

It was the first time she had seen such beautiful eyes, and she was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until the other's hand slid down her bare waist...

...

Who?

An urgent phone ring suddenly broke the silence, causing her to almost jump out of bed and fall to the ground in pain.

Wincing, Li Yan rubbed her sore buttocks, muttering as she reached for her phone with her other hand.

"...Dream... Ah... Hello?"

"Hello! We have a delivery for you. Would you like it delivered to your doorstep or would you prefer to pick it up yourself?"

"Ah..." Li Yan's heart raced, her voice unconsciously lowering, "Could you please deliver it to my doorstep?"

"Of course!"

Quickly getting herself together, Li Yan approached the bedside table and picked up the family photo on top. In it were her deceased parents and herself, perhaps watching her slowly improve.

Li Yan's parents had died in a car accident when she was in high school. Since then, the family had lost its source of income. Her parents' savings could barely support her through college, and with no relatives willing to take care of her, she had to fend for herself. After graduation, finding a job hadn't been easy.

She had had boyfriends before, but as soon as they held hands, she discovered they were off to visit prostitutes...

Seeing those around her getting married and having children at the urging of their parents, life seemed to be getting happier for them, but she felt increasingly out of place.

She planned to pursue further studies in academia. Her academic performance was good, and she had managed to get admitted. Now she was just waiting for the acceptance letter.

Ding dong. She got up to answer the door, and the delivery person outside caught her eye; tall and exceptionally good-looking, she couldn't even tell if they were male or female.

The person smiled at her and their voice was androgynous.

"Miss Li, your delivery."

"Thank you..."

"Please sign here."

"Okay."

After signing, the delivery person didn't rush to leave. They smiled again and asked, "Miss Li, are you satisfied with your life so far?"

Li Yan found the question strange but answered truthfully, "Um, yes, I'm quite satisfied, no complaints."

"If you had the chance to live a different life, would you take it?"

Li Yan took it as a joke, "To experience a different life? That would be a win for me."

The delivery person smiled even more happily. "I saw someone setting off fireworks outside in broad daylight, Miss Li, would you like to come out and see?"

Li Yan had no suspicion and came out to look with a face full of curiosity. Following the delivery person's gesture, she looked towards the sky in the corridor, and suddenly she was pushed down.
