Xiao Yun stood silently in front of the oval mirror, looking at the white gold necklace on the dressing table, wondering whether to put it around her neck. Xiao Yun did not expect her husband to give her a white gold necklace at this time - both of them knew that their marriage was on the rocks - and it was unspoken that each had a lover. Xiao Yun understands in her heart that this form is nothing to make a fuss about, now the whole urban love has been replaced by love ...... To relieve the pain and save the love, or save the love, Xiao Yun will receive an old woman later. It is said that she is a witch who can see everything.

Heard a knock at the door. Xiao Yun hesitated and finally put the white gold necklace around her neck. Xiao Yun saw herself in the mirror with black hair like a waterfall, her youth was still intact. The shiny necklace matched her fair skin and showed a different kind of charm. Xiao Yun smiled with satisfaction and ran to open the door. It was the woman, really weird and unusual, a pair of brown eyes on her pale face reflected a terrible light. Xiao Yun invited the woman into the house, but the woman refused. The woman just coldly said: I do not want to delay too much time. I also know that you have an appointment to go to later. So, I just want to simply say a few suggestions. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Xiao Yun took a serious look at this woman - how could she know that she had a date with her lover later? Could this legendary witch see through everything? Could she save all broken marriages? The woman did not care about Xiao Yun's confused gaze, still standing silently in the doorway, without the slightest expression.

Xiao Yun hates people prying on her privacy, so she denied it, saying there was nothing to date. But the woman sneered and said: You don't have to hide anything from me. Your eyes have told me everything about you, and it must be your lover you are going to see. I also know that over the years your relationship with your husband has grown worse and worse, and the family war of words has grown. When you face your husband, all you can think about is the wild passion of lying in your lover's arms. However, you have a sense of fear and dissatisfaction with yourself. You want to be with your love openly and honestly. With all due respect, many times you think how nice it would be if your current husband suddenly died. For example, in a car accident. Another example would be a sudden suicide, etc. This is a fantasy for you, but, for me, it can become a complete reality.

What this woman said is true, she does have such strange thoughts. But how can she just trust a witch? So Xiao Yun hesitated, who am I to believe you ...... woman or a stiff face, mumbling under her breath: you will naturally believe. In this strange society, many couples in your state suffer as much as you do. I think that this is a disease of modernity. I, on the other hand, am the one who can cure this disease. According to God's will, I have been to many home salvations to propagate this antidote of mine.

What antidote? A great interest arose in Xiao Yun's heart. As she watched the woman open the orange leather bag in her hand, filled with ties of various colors and styles - it turned out to be just a scammer selling ties. Xiao Yun suddenly felt disappointed. But the woman did not stop introducing herself because of Xiao Yun's disappointed expression, but continued to say: this tie is the genie from hell. A man can tie it around his neck, and after about half an hour, it will suddenly contract, rapidly - until the other person suffocates and dies. But rest assured, it will only take a moment for the tie to return to normal again. No one would ever think that a tie had done anything. Eventually, the newspapers will publish the news of someone's bizarre death ...... It's amazing! Xiao Yun has been completely hooked on this tie. Nice, many times Xiao Yun is thinking that romantic love needs a person to sacrifice. Perhaps, her husband should be the sacrifice.

But how much does the tie cost? Xiao Yun asked. Twenty thousand dollars. The woman said: Please don't bargain in front of God, or God will be angry. The woman thought, "Twenty thousand dollars is not much, compared to their romantic love, what is a little more money? So they quickly made a deal.

Xiao Yun took the tie in her hand and watched the woman leave. But after the woman got the money, she suddenly turned around and asked: The necklace around your neck--

But Xiao Yun had already closed the door behind her, her mind just frantically imagining her husband suddenly somewhere in pain and despair. Thinking about it, Xiao Yun then had pressure. This pressure comes from around the neck ...... this white gold necklace has only been on for half an hour, how can it be so taut? Xiao Yun touched her neck with her hand and felt the necklace shrink tighter and tighter, exactly as the woman described the feeling ...... In the last moments, Xiao Yun's eyes seemed to see a picture, or the woman was introducing her husband to the white gold necklace from hell ......
