I moved to a secluded place. In my past life,
after Beaumont abandoned Amy, I stayed
home, giving her a chance to kill me.
I checked Weibo. Beaumont was suing Amy
and Mom for all the money spent on her–the
dowry, jewelry, everything. Mom had spent
the dowry on purses and makeup. They
couldn’t repay it. Amy was hospitalized and
couldn’t either.
Mom called.
“Anna, please help us. Amy and I need you.
“You need me only when you’re in trouble?
Hypocrites.”
“Anna, I’m begging you. I’m your mother.”

“This is the last time I’ll call you Mom. I don’t

I hung up, blocking their numbers.
I thought I could live peacefully. Beaumont
found me, wanting to marry me.
He looked at me earnestly. “Your mother said
you’ve never had a boyfriend. You’re pure,
right?”
“Marry me. I’ll take care of you.”
“Get lost.

I was disgusted. Beaumont wasn’t a good
person; before I died, I heard he sought.
virgins to experience deflowering them.
“You’re immoral and depraved. You deserve
to die.”
I slammed the door.

I bought a plane ticket abroad. I couldn’t stay.
I felt a looming sense of danger.
The hospital called. Amy was in trouble. While
hospitalized, she’d found a man and had a
massive hemorrhage, nearly dying. She
୮
needed me to pay. I paid and prepared to
leave.
Amy woke up, holding a knife.
“Don’t speak. I’ll kill you.”
“I’m faking it. How else would I lure you out?”
The knife glinted; beside it, a bottle of acid.
I swallowed hard.
“Calm down.”
“I can’t!”
She raged.
“You ruined my dream, and I lost my uterus.
It’s all your fault, Anna! You’re a bad
woman!”
“You sought those men, not my fault.”
“It’s my business!”
“I just want to kill you.”
“Fine, kill me.”
I showed no fear.
She was surprised. “You… you aren’t
afraid?”
<
YOU THINK I M scarea to de KIIIEA?
“Let’s see if you dare.”
I sneered.
She gritted her teeth, lunging at me.
I turned, taking the blow in my back.
Police burst in, arresting her. She was
panicked.
“Officer, I didn’t! Don’t arrest me!”
I winced. “She stabbed me. She tried to kill
me.”
Amy knelt.
“Sister, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to! Tell
them!”
“I don’t want to go to jail!”
I’d never seen her so broken.
“If you’re afraid of jail, why’d you try to kill
me?”
I fainted from pain.
I woke up, my wounds dressed. I’d taken the
blow in my back, preventing a fatal throat

wound.
I didn’t let Amy kill me. I knew her plan from
my past life. She’d lured me out and thrown
acid.
I called the police, goaded her into attacking
me, ensuring her imprisonment. Death had
made me terrified.
She was sentenced to five years. The story
was all over the internet. Beaumont posted,
thanking his lucky stars he hadn’t married
her.

Mom was devastated. She cried and cursed
at my door. “You bitch! Give me back my
daughter!”
I didn’t understand why she didn’t love me.
After Dad died, she adopted Amy, showering
her with affection and neglecting me. Good
food, clothes–everything was for Amy. When
the chance to marry into wealth came, Amy
was prioritized.
Mom visited daily, but the police protected
- me.
On my discharge day, Mom called. “Anna, I’ve
realized my mistakes. I’ve neglected you.”
“Come home. Let’s start over.”
I was surprised. I returned home. My favorite
dishes were on the table. I’d never had this
before.
“Anna, I made these.”
“I was wrong to favor an outsider. I regret it.”
She pulled me in, serving me food.
“Eat up. This afternoon, we’ll go shopping.”
I stared at the food, untouched.
“Are you done acting?“.
Her face went white.
“You…”
“I know you poisoned the food.”
I knocked the food over.
“Gu Cuicui, I thought you wouldn’t hurt me,
your own daughter, but you tried to kill me for
Amy!”
I was furious. I thought only Amy wanted me
dead, that Mom simply disliked me. She’d
poisoned me. I’d known and called the police.
“You knew.”
Her face hardened. She held a knife.
“I underestimated you.”
She approached.
“Why?”
وو
“I’m your daughter! Why would you kill me?” “Amy’s just adopted.”
She sneered. “You aren’t my daughter!
You’re your father’s child with another
woman. He betrayed me, so I betrayed him
and had Amy. You… I wanted to sell you, but
you got Amy jailed.‘
وو
I was stunned. I wasn’t her daughter, so she
neglected me.
Everything made sense.

As her knife descended, police shot her arm.
She dropped the knife, cursing.
“You bitch! I’ll kill you!”
I couldn’t believe my mother, the woman who
raised me, wasn’t my real mother. If I hadn’t
been reborn, I wouldn’t know.
“Even if I’m not your daughter, I lived with
you. Didn’t you feel anything?”
“No!”
Her eyes were bloodshot.
“I hate you, I hate your father. He betrayed
me first.”
“But I did nothing wrong.”
“”
She didn’t reply. She was taken away. She
received a life sentence:
I went abroad, becoming a doctor, living
happily. Amy killed herself in prison. Her
addiction couldn’t survive without men.
Everything was over. I moved on with my life.
