Once upon a time, in a small village called Willowbrook, lived a little girl named Emily. She was known by the villagers as Little Miss Qitch. Despite her young age, Emily possessed a unique sense of curiosity and adventure that set her apart from the other children in the village. Emily had a wild imagination and was constantly seeking new experiences. She would often disappear into the nearby woods, exploring every nook and cranny, searching for hidden treasures and secret paths. The villagers would often find her climbing trees, chasing butterflies, or simply sitting by the river, lost in her thoughts.
Li Chuntao, who was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she arrived held a white cremation urn in her arms which held the ashes of her twin sister. She held onto it as if her life depended on it.
With the help of the Tang and Shen families, everything about Li Xiuying s accident and condition were slowly wiped off the mainstream and social media. However, the Li family never put any clause in the event of Li Xiuying s death during their marriage, the prenuptial agreement wouldn t take effect and would be useless.
The villagers would often find her climbing trees, chasing butterflies, or simply sitting by the river, lost in her thoughts. Emily's insatiable thirst for knowledge and love for learning earned her the nickname "Little Miss Qitch" – a combination of the words "quick" and "witch." The villagers saw her as a little witch who had a knack for finding answers to their unanswered questions.
Little miss qitch
Indeed. Who would want her dead? Shen Zichen didn't understand. He remained silent for a while, causing distress to his twin sister.
Who would have enough grudge to kill Li Xiuying?
Upon realization, his eyes widened in disbelief. Li Xiuying had never been in conflict with anyone within the business community. In fact, she was well loved and respected by her colleagues.
She hadn't been in an argument with anyone except…who else but her own husband, Mu Jianyu and his mistress Lin Meirong! But what he couldn't understand was why? What was their motive?
Shen Zichen was pretty sure Li Xiuying had signed the divorce papers before she decided to leave the country. She was the kind of person who didn't like to leave problems for other people and would have cleared everything before her departure. So why would Mu Jianyu want his ex-wife dead?
He tried to think of all the logical reasons and possibilities why Mu Jianyu would dare to kill his own wife. Was it for money?
"Yuyan, did you hear any confirmation that Ying filed her divorce papers before her accident?" Shen Zichen asked his sister.
Shen Yuyan shook her head. Now that he mentioned it, she heard their father telling their Uncle Yuren to secure the divorce papers as soon as possible.
"Dad also asked the same thing. Zi Gege, what's happening? Why would Uncle Yuren need to get a hold on the divorce papers?"
Before Mu Jianyu and Li Xiuying got married, both of them signed a prenuptial agreement with the clauses that if they decide to divorce, Mu Jianyu would only get ten percent of their conjugal properties and he wouldn't be able to do any business transactions with the Li family or represent them.
However, the Li family never put any clause in the event of Li Xiuying's death during their marriage, the prenuptial agreement wouldn't take effect and would be useless. No, it wasn't that Li Yuren overlooked this possibility but he might have never considered Ying would actually lose her life.
"I'm not sure yet, Yuyan but if Uncle Yuren's suspicion turns out to be true…" He would never forgive that scumbag! He would make sure that Li Xiuying would get the justice she deserved!
Who would have thought that Li Xiuying would die in a road accident? Even Shen Zichen couldn't believe that she would die today.
If Li Xiuying died while she was still married to Mu Jianyu, everything under her name would be passed to him. Li Xiuying alone had a net worth of seven billion USD. She was practically one of the wealthiest women in the capital. It wouldn't be surprising if that scumbag didn't want a piece of it but the whole thing instead.
Just the thought of it was enough to make Shen Zichen's blood boil with rage. His sight filled with red. Mu Jianyu wanted to suck Li Xiuying's finances dry to sustain his lascivious life with Lin Meirong?
"Mu Jianyu, you bastard!" He hissed and clenched his fist on his lap. Why did he allow Ying to marry such a despicable person like Mu Jianyu?
Wasn't it enough that he hurt and broke Li Xiuying 's heart and now he wanted her dead?
"Zi Gege…" Shen Yuyan looked at him worriedly. She couldn't understand what was happening but she hoped that her brother wouldn't intentionally spite himself because of Li Xiuying's death.
"Does Chuntao know about this already?" He asked her again. All hell would surely break loose if Li Chuntao found out and Shen Zichen was sure she was ready to jump on the case even if she'd end up hurting herself in the process.
"No… I don't think Uncle Yuren has told her yet." Shen Yuyan replied. Her brother must have understood the situation with the few clues she had mentioned.
Li Chuntao wasn't in the right mind to hear all of these. Not when her grief over her sister's passing was still fresh and she was still hurting.
Just as Shen Yuyan had said, Li Xiuying's death was hidden from the public. With the help of the Tang and Shen families, everything about Li Xiuying's accident and condition were slowly wiped off the mainstream and social media.
The Li family decided to hold a small private ceremony for her passing and cremated her remains. Only a few people knew about it and it was kept confidential.
Li Chuntao, who was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she arrived held a white cremation urn in her arms which held the ashes of her twin sister. She held onto it as if her life depended on it.
Her tears had run dry and she couldn't cry anymore. Her eyes reflected nothing but emptiness inside. Even her long hair was unkempt and had escaped from her hair ties. It looked like her soul was sucked away from her body.
"Chuntao, why don't you go home and let me take everything from here?" Li Yuren stood beside her, extending an arm to receive the urn in her arms.
"Go home?" She repeated.
Where? Her parents had died, now Ying had also left her alone. There was no one waiting back at home to welcome her. She was afraid to go home only to find herself alone.
By this time, she and Ying should have been reunited and celebrating a welcome party for Ying but reality was the exact opposite. She had come home only to witness Ying in her last moments.
Where's her home now?
When her parents died and it left a trauma on her at a young age, it was Ying who became her strength, she became her home.
Now that she was gone, everything around Li Chuntao became gray and useless. Even her dream to become a surgeon seemed like nothing.
What was the point of living now? She'd already lost her family, she already lost the will to live.
'Ying, why did you leave me without a warning? You were gone so fast and now I'm left with nothing but the memories of our past.'
"I…" Li Chuntao hesitated to give the urn to her uncle. She wasn't ready to part with her twin sister. Her eyes stung with tears and her body slightly trembled.
"Chuntao, do you trust me?" Li Yuren asked gently while coaxing her to look into his eyes.
What she saw was pain and loneliness that her Uncle Yuren hid behind his cold mask. She was reminded once again that she wasn't alone in her grief. Her Uncle Yuren and Aunt Yue were also heartbroken from Ying's sudden death.
Li Chuntao then had no choice but to pass her sister's urn to her uncle.
"I promise you. I will return Ying's ashes to you soon but for the meantime, take a rest and stay at your penthouse. Su Ling and Hou Chen will take you home." He eyed the two behind Li Chuntao and they stepped forward simultaneously.
"Miss Chuntao, let us take you home," Hou Chen said with a trembling voice.
She was a good friend of Li Xiuying and wasn't familiar with Li Chuntao but by merely looking at Chuntao's face, Hou Chen couldn't help but feel upset. The resemblance between the two was uncanny. It would be really difficult for someone who's not a part of the Li family to tell who was who.
Now that she was gone, everything around Li Chuntao became gray and useless. Even her dream to become a surgeon seemed like nothing.

1. Jennifer - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Little Miss Witch". I had heard such great things about it, but I found the story to be lacking depth and substance. The characters were not well-developed, and I couldn't connect with them at all. The plot was predictable and didn't offer any surprises. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable read that didn't live up to the hype.
2. David - 1/5 - I couldn't even finish "Little Miss Witch". The writing was incredibly juvenile and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. It felt like the author was trying too hard to appeal to a young audience and it came off as forced and unnatural. The story had potential, but the execution was poor. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who appreciates well-crafted literature.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I really wanted to like "Little Miss Witch" because I love fantasy novels, but this one fell flat for me. The world-building was lacking, and I couldn't fully immerse myself in the magical realm the author was trying to create. The pacing was also off, with the story dragging in some parts while rushing through others. Overall, I found it to be a mediocre read that didn't hold my interest.
4. Michael - 2/5 - I found "Little Miss Witch" to be a bit cliché and unoriginal. The plot felt recycled and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had read similar stories before. The writing was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lack of originality. I was hoping for something fresh and exciting, but unfortunately, this book didn't deliver.
