I am an Immortal, born with boundless wealth destined in my fate. Anyone who tries to murder me for money only ends up triggering a mechanism that grants me a huge fortune, making me a billionaire! But I am exhausted. Having been murdered in a thousand different ways, I’ve lost the will to live. To me, money is just a string of cold numbers. The only way to break my immortality is to find someone who loves me, not my money! After countless lifetimes, I finally found him. He truly didn’t care about my money. But he didn’t love me either. Instead, he sliced open my skin with a scalpel... Chapter 1 I lay in the freezing operating room. The surgical lights reflected the gruesome image of my body being cut open. New death unlocked: +1. But this time, the pain was excruciating. It was the kind of agony that pierced through skin and bone, pushed to the absolute limit. I was in so much pain I couldn't even scream. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to ask Julian: "Do you want money? You know I have plenty. Just name your price, I can give you whatever you want." Julian shook his head, his hand trembling as he stroked my hair. He kissed my forehead, tears falling rapidly onto my cheek, yet they felt devoid of warmth. "I don't want money. I love you. Your money is just a bonus. It's you I love." I laughed, my limbs twitching uncontrollably from the pain. When he sliced into me with the scalpel, he didn't use any anesthesia. He said he was going to remove my organs and drain my blood. Is this his so-called love? I really didn't understand. If he wants me dead, why can't he just make it quick? "Julian, how much money do you want? Or rather, what do you want? I'll give you everything, okay? Just give me a quick death. Don't torture me under the guise of loving me." Julian was stubborn, insisting he loved me. I couldn't see where this "love" was! Five minutes later, another person was wheeled into the operating room. It was a young woman, beautiful, with skin like porcelain. She was already asleep, placed on a gurney parallel to mine. The blood drained from me was being transfused into her body. Immediately, a team of secretive doctors cut her open and began surgery on her too. The woman seemed very sick. After opening her up, the doctors removed several of her organs. Then, treating me like a spare parts bin, they harvested the corresponding organs from my body to replace hers. Finally, I understood. This was Julian's purpose all along! I froze, a tear slipping unnoticed from the corner of my eye. Choking back a sob, I asked Julian: "Who is she?" Julian didn't answer, just stared at the woman with infinite tenderness. "Julian! Answer me!" Julian snapped out of it, held my hand, and told me the whole truth. "Her name is Bella. She was my high school classmate. We sat next to each other for three years, promised to go to the same college, and agreed to marry and start a family after graduation." "But fate played a cruel joke. After graduation, she was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease. Her organs would fail and atrophy within five years, leading to death. There is no cure in the world." "I couldn't just watch her leave me like this. I couldn't watch the person who accompanied my entire youth die. So I came up with this plan." Hearing Julian's words, I only found it laughable. "A disease with no cure in the world, and you think transplanting my organs will help? If it worked, wouldn't doctors have suggested it long ago? Would you need to wait until now?" Julian understood what I meant. He suddenly turned to look at me. His gaze was firm, but utterly cold. After staring at me for a long time, Julian sighed and spoke softly. "Mia, I know your secret." "I know you are an Immortal!" Chapter 2 Julian's words shocked me. They also explained everything I was suffering now. So he really didn't care about my money, but he didn't love me either! I thought I could break my immortality in this lifetime, but I failed at the last step. Julian was terrifyingly cold. Even seeing me cut open, a bloody mess, he could calmly stand by the operating table holding my hand, his thumb stroking my palm. My entire body rejected his touch, on the verge of fainting from the pain. Julian continued to talk about his and Bella's hardships. "I took Bella everywhere, sought many famous doctors, but there was no hope. Bella suffered so much, cried in my arms countless times. Only I understand her pain." "I promised her I would save her. I swore to find a way! I really can't watch her die. Do you know? She is like the sun in my world. Without her, my world loses all light." "Mia, after I found out you were an Immortal, I had a strong premonition. I felt you could save her! I felt you could change our lives!" So he didn't even give me anesthesia? And he lied to me for three years! These three years were just to get close to me, to gain my trust, and then use my organs to save Bella. How could he do this? I screamed, losing my composure in front of him for the first time, cursing wildly. Although I knew death was a common occurrence in my life, something trivial to me. But I couldn't accept this reality. I'd rather he approached me for my money than for this reason. The double agony made me lose my mind. My spasms worsened, limbs twisting into terrifying angles, but Julian held me down firmly. Julian kept talking, trying to comfort me, but none of his words were human. "Mia, just endure it a bit longer! Just hold on! I know you've died many times, experienced all kinds of pain. This is just another one, bear with it and it'll pass." "I know you've been looking for a way to break your immortality. This time I'm helping you, and you're helping me. Isn't this a win-win?" "You help me save Bella, and I help you end this absurd immortality. Afterwards, I will continue to love you, remember you forever, letting you live on in Bella's body in another way, okay?" I looked at him coldly, biting my tongue until I spat a mouthful of blood. Julian, afraid I would bite my tongue off and kill myself, actually stuck his hand in my mouth for me to bite. "Don't be scared, Mia, be good, don't be scared. I'll stay by your side. Just hold on. The doctor said not using anesthesia ensures better organ adaptation, that's why it hurts. It'll be over soon!" His affectionate act, for a moment, made me feel like I was in labor, giving birth to our child. But it was all an illusion. I knew better than anyone. I sneered, exhausting the last bit of trust I had in others. I bit down hard on his hand, spat blood in his face, and growled: "Since you know I'm an Immortal, do you know what happens when someone accepts an Immortal's flesh and blood? I advise you to stop now! Or you won't be able to bear the consequences!" Chapter 3 After roaring those words, I passed out from the pain. I didn't know how long I was out. When I woke up, I found myself in a large tank. I had been immortal many times and died many times. As long as twenty-four hours passed after my death, I would revive in various ways. In freezing water, in sticky mud, in filthy sewers... I had been everywhere. As long as this world wasn't destroyed, even if I was burned to ashes, leaving only a speck of dust, I could still revive. This large tank was filled with formalin. My hollowed-out body soaked in it like a bath, slowly reviving, but unable to move yet. I heard Julian's cold voice nearby. He had already checked the tank once. From the reflection in his pupils, I saw my horrific state. My nearly 5'7" body had curled up into a ball from the torture, not even half my original height. All usable organs in my body had been taken by Julian and now belonged to Bella. Julian was clearly satisfied, his voice unconsciously pitching higher. "She probably can't be immortal anymore. She can't revive like this. Her body is just a skeleton and a head, nothing useful left." The doctor who operated on me and Bella nodded, agreeing that I couldn't revive. "There's probably no hope, and she's useless for scientific research. So this remaining body..." Julian thought for a moment and made a quick decision. "To be safe, cremate what's left of her. Scatter the ashes in four directions so she can never revive again. That way Bella can inherit her fortune smoothly." This doctor was amazingly resourceful. Not only could he perform surgery on me and Bella, but he could also help Julian dispose of my body. They chatted happily, treating me like a dead cat or dog. Having settled my matter, they talked about Bella's recovery. Julian's tone was uncontrollably joyful, his eyes shining in a way I had never seen before. "An Immortal's organs really are different. I thought Bella would need a long recovery, a painful transition period. I didn't expect her to be spirited the very next day!" "Not only that, her body adapted to the organs quickly, and her wounds are healing fast. She's full of life, it even surprised me!" "I've discussed it with Bella. We plan to proceed to the next step in three days." Next step? Julian hadn't mentioned that to me. I wanted to listen more, but Julian received a call from Bella. Bella's gentle voice came from the phone, suddenly saying she wanted strawberry cake. She was in a good mood and had a good appetite, seemingly recovering well. Julian was ecstatic, cooing doting words into the phone. "You little glutton, just feeling a bit better and already craving strawberry cake?" Bella acted coquettish, her soft voice coming through. "I want other things too, but you're not here, I dare not think too much..." Julian smiled, sweet words flowing effortlessly. "Then I'm coming now. Think more about it, what exactly do you want to eat? Hmm?" Chapter 4 Hearing their words, my heart turned cold as ice. My body revived faster. Something in my chest felt like it was breaking through my flesh, growing a new heart of my own bit by bit. I smirked, feeling the heart slowly beating, signaling a new round of resurrection. The heart that once loved Julian was taken by him. It took away my love and pain. Now I had grown a new heart. No pain, no love, only filled with hatred and the desire to check the results. I endured in the tank for hours, watching my body fill up and revive. Half an hour before the doctor came to dispose of my body, I broke out of the tank. When the doctor discovered I was missing, he was terrified as if he'd seen a ghost, scared out of his wits, and called Julian. I hid in the dark, listening to the phone ring three times before Julian reluctantly answered. "Hello! Julian! Julian, it's bad! Where are you? Tell me, I'm coming to find you!" The doctor trembled, looking around, shaking uncontrollably. But Julian blamed him for ruining the mood. "I'm busy with Bella, you know that! She's just getting better, why are you calling me so late?" His lust-filled voice sounded particularly ambiguous on the phone, as if accompanied by Bella's delicate panting. The doctor couldn't have missed it. But the doctor couldn't care less and screamed into the phone. "It's bad! Mia is gone! I was going to dispose of her body, but I just opened the tank and there's nothing inside!" Julian froze, his voice instantly turning cold. "Impossible! Was it too dark and you didn't see clearly? Look again!" "Impossible! I saw clearly, Mia isn't in the tank! There are footprints on the floor, Mia must have revived and run away..." Amidst their terrified conversation, the thunder in the rainy night grew louder. I reached the doctor's car before him, used the stolen keys to drive away, and headed straight for Julian's house. In the middle of the night, lights were still on at Julian's. Panting sounds came from the garage, as if someone was moving heavy objects. Bella followed him anxiously, asking in confusion: "Julian, where are we going? What happened? Why are we taking suitcases?" Julian had no time to explain, just focused on moving luggage. "We're leaving first, taking the earliest flight. I'll explain when we're safe!" Bella was confused and wanted to ask more, but froze when the third clap of thunder sounded in the sky. Then, as if summoned, she walked strangely towards the gate, opened it for me, and stood obediently by my side. "Bella, where are you going?!" Julian followed anxiously. Seeing me, his face turned pale with fear, but he still subconsciously worried about Bella, calling her name, which stung my eyes instantly. "Bella, come here, come here first! Listen to me! You can't handle her, don't get so close!" I laughed. Laughing at his ignorance. I turned to Bella and whispered: "Grab him. Let's go inside and have a good talk." Bella obeyed without complaint. To Julian's shock, she twisted his arm out of joint and forced him into the house. Julian roared in shock and pain. "How is this happening? Mia, what did you do to Bella?!" I looked at the night sky and shook my head regretfully at Julian. "I didn't do anything to her. You just didn't listen to my warning and couldn't bear the consequences!" "Didn't you know? Having accepted thirty percent of an Immortal's flesh and blood, she becomes the next Immortal, and she inherits all the pain I've suffered!"
