Chapter 1 Rebirth

The sea breeze brushed against her face, and the sound of birds chirped in the distance.

"Just dump her here. What a stroke of bad luck."

"Dying on this ship is going to cause me so much trouble. We need to get rid of her now".

Tatiana struggled to open her eyes. Suddenly, she was thrown out by a force, and she began to plummet rapidly.

Thud!

Her body crashed into the deep blue sea!

Her consciousness began to fade...

Suddenly-

The woman floating in the water snapped her eyes open.

Tatiana smirked, her eyes glinting with cold light and murderous intent.

She quickly absorbed the memories flooding into her mind.

She had been reborn in a parallel world, where the original owner shared her name and even her appearance.

The original Tatiana had been arranged by her stepmother to be thrown onto a boat headed for another city.

She had developed peritonitis and, when she was about to die the captain decided to toss her into the sea at just 18 years old.

As the world's number one assassin, now that she has taken over ths body, she was determined to take revenge!

She must find who tried to kill her in her previous life and so find out who killed the previous owner's mother.

From the memories she received it seems that her mother's death was orchestrated.

Tatiana narrowed her eyes and noticed something unusual in the water nearby-a gray dorsal fin was appearing and disappearing.

It was a tiger shark!

Tiger sharks were swimming fast towards Tatiana from all directions.

She remembered suddenly that the original had secretly carried a dagger with her.

Drawing it out, she aimed for the nearest shark's eye and plunged the blade in without hesitation...

After a while, the sea was littered with the bodies of the tiger sharks.

"Splash-" was the sound of a dagger hitting the water.

This body was too weak; if it were her original body, she wouldn't feel so exhausted.

Just then, a small boat finally appeared on the endless sea.

Tatiana swam with all her might toward it.

On the boat lay a man in his twenties, completely still, his fate unknown.

She climbed onto the inflatable boat and checked his breathing-he was still alive.

As she examined his face more closely, she noticed his smooth, fair skin and perfectly sculpted features.

This face was definitely to her liking.

However, his lips had an unusual bluish tint.

Tatiana checked his pulse; it was weak, indicating he had been poisoned for a long time.

An injury on his arm had caused the poison to flare up.

She glanced around and jumped back into the sea, quickly diving to the bottom. She gathered a few plants and climbed back onto the boat.

She selected some leaves, crushed them together, and applied the mixture to his wound.

Ten minutes later, his injury suddenly swelled alarmingly.

Without hesitation, she took her dagger and gently cut open the swollen skin. Dark blood oozed out, and she leaned down to suck the blood from his wrist, spitting out the tainted blood afterward.

She tore off some of his clothing and quickly bandaged him up.

She wasn't some kind-hearted healer; she just thought it would be a shame for someone so handsome to die.

After a while, she checked his pulse again, and it was noticeably stronger.

In her previous life, although she was an assassin, she was also a skilled healer. This poison was potent, but to her, it was nothing she couldn't handle.

At that moment, the man coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze instantly turned icy, and he swiftly pulled out a dagger, pointing it at her with decisive and fierce movements.

Tatiana frowned. Was he serious? This guy wanted to kill his savior the moment he woke up?

Maxim squinted slightly, his voice hoarse. "Who are you?"

"Watch your knife."

Her voice was soft, but there was an underlying chill that could be felt through it.

Only then did Maxim get a good look at the girl's face. Her features were striking, with delicate brows and captivating eyes that sparkled like an endless galaxy, mysterious and alluring, making one instinctively want to draw closer.

Maxim was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. "Why does she look so familiar, she-".

Before he could think further, she spoke again, "I'm your savior."

"Savior?" Maxim frowned in response.

Tatiana remained calm. "You have a condition. Don't you know? Or do you want me to spell it out for you".

Maxim's expression turned cold in an instant. "Are you looking for trouble?"

"I guess you often suffer from amnesia at night, and no one can help you with it," Tatiana said, raising an eyebrow as she tended to the wound on her leg.

Maxim remained silent, but the slight widening of his pupils betrayed his emotions.

"That poison is called Heart Eater, and I've already neutralized it for you," Tatiana said cryptically.

Maxim's voice was icy as he asked, "How do you know all this?"

Tatiana feigned mystery, replying, "Some secrets are not meant to be revealed."

Maxim's expression remained cautious.

Suddenly, Tatiana frowned, a sharp pain gripping her abdomen in waves. Damn it, this body is too weak; the appendicitis was flaring up.

Seeing her distress, Maxim noticed shedidn't seem to be pretending. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Before she could respond, she fainted.

Immediately, he pressed the button attached to his bracelet to give signals to his crew.

"Sir, are you okay?. We are coming in now. His secretary's sounded from afar.

Tatiana's opened, staring at her environment but before she could utter a word, she fainted again.

Someone was approaching.

Tatiana suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the arm of the person coming near her.

"Ouch! That hurts! You need to calm down ma'am" exclaimed a middle-aged man in a white coat.

From the doctor, she learned that after she had passed out, her bodyguard found Maxim and brought both of them onto the ship. Maxim had asked the doctor to help her recover.

"You're awake," a deep voice said.
