Her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a dozen trucks, with sore waist and aching back, and a burning pain below. Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but let out a few painful groans.
She truly felt that she wasn’t just at odds with Gu Ningyi in this life, but likely in her past lives as well. Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to torment her?
Thinking of Gu Ningyi’s ruthless energy last night, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t stop breaking out in cold sweat.
So before she passed out last night, there was only one thought left in her mind: once she returned to filming, she would make herself very, very, very busy, too busy to come home to the villa, hopefully for the remaining month or so.
Otherwise, if she stayed with Gu Ningyi any longer, she wasn’t sure if she could last until Ziyang safely came out.
Dong Xin Yan took a few deep breaths, forced herself to endure the physical pain, and got up, hobbling towards the bathroom. After soaking in a hot bath, the discomfort slightly eased, but the fair skin was covered with purple and blue marks that wouldn’t wash away, which frustrated Dong Xin Yan greatly.

Before experiencing something , she once had her own yearnings. After all, as a young girl, who wouldn’t have beautiful fantasies?
She met Ziyang while working part-time before going to university.
That period was her saddest and most difficult time. Her father lost his job and couldn’t find work for a long while, so the family was living off their savings, which wasn’t much to begin with. And with her grandmother’s illness requiring a lot of money every month for hospital fees, medicine, and caregivers, etc.
So, to reduce the burden on her family, she looked for a part-time job.
Her academic performance had always been good since she was a child, so fortunately, she quickly found a tutoring job with a generous salary. However... the child she had to teach was in a rebellious phase—not obedient, unteachable, and loved to make fun of hired tutors, causing many of them to quit after just a day or two.
This is why the pay was generous.
Initially, Dong Xin Yan was worried she might not be able to handle this child, but on second thought, considering she had managed to survive under the tyrant Gu Ningyi for so many years, what was there to fear from a little brat?
Surely, this little brat couldn’t have stronger tricks than the tyrant Gu Ningyi?
So for the generous pay, she resolutely went.
The child was indeed mischievous and naughty, with an endless array of tricks to bully and tease people. If Dong Xin Yan hadn’t been through the trials with Gu Ningyi, she probably really wouldn’t have been able to take it and would have resigned like the others.
Unfortunately for the child, in comparison to Gu Baowang, his tricks were not even in the same league, so Dong Xin Yan handled them calmly, unable to be frightened or chased away.
After a week, the little brat exhausted his tricks and finally gave up on causing trouble.
Her employer, Mr. Chen, was moved to tears seeing her last a whole week. He initially thought that with her fragile appearance, she wouldn’t last a day, but to his surprise, she actually managed to subdue his little tyrant, and he promptly gave her a raise.
So, she stayed on as the tutor, coming to the Chen family every evening from seven to nine to tutor the little brat.
