After Reincarnation, My Sister and I
Swap Families
Chapter 1
In my past life, my parents died in a car
crash. My twin sister was adopted by a
billionaire from the New York elite, while I
ended up with some nouveau riche folks.
The billionaire’s son, a total psycho, turned
my sister into his plaything.
He tormented her so badly she was
unrecognizable, eventually leaving her
paralyzed from the waist down.
Meanwhile, I was groomed by my adoptive
parents, slid right into Hollywood, and
became a rising star.

Driven by jealousy, my sister burned me alive.
I woke up, reliving the day my sister and I
were adopted.
This time, my sister beat me to the punch,
kneeling in front of the rich couple and calling
them Mom and Dad.
She had no idea that the billionaire’s son, as
twisted as he was, was still just a fifteen-
year–old kid.
My adoptive parents, on the other hand, were
ruthless hustlers who clawed their way to the
top.
They had a whole bag of tricks, way more
than her pea brain could handle.

Later, my sister spiraled into self–destruction.
I, on the other hand, managed to charm the
psycho brother, who pinned me against a
wall.
“Sis, you’ve been a bad girl. Big brother’s
gonna have to punish you.”
“Mr. and Mrs., I want to be your daughter! I’ll
be good, I promise!”
My sister, Zoe, rushed up to the rich couple,
all sweetness and light.
They hesitated, whispering to each other.
“Both ten years old, look pretty similar…
which one should we pick?”
く
Hearing them, Zoe jumped in, trying to sell
herself.
“Pick me! I’ll work hard to repay you for
taking me in!”
Seeing her desperation, I knew she
remembered.
Last time, the couple was torn between us.
Then, the billionaire, Mr. Vandergelt, showed
up with his son, Ethan.
As soon as Zoe heard “billionaire” and
“handsome older brother,” she ditched me
and picked them.
I ended up with the rich couple.
But Ethan, at fifteen, was a total psycho.
His dad was always working, never home, and
Zoe suffered all sorts of abuse.
Eventually, she was disfigured and
wheelchair–bound.
I, however, was pampered and cultivated,
turning into a beautiful and talented girl.
Later, my adoptive parents spent a fortune
pulling strings, getting me into showbiz.
Within two years, I was the hottest thing in
Hollywood.
But behind the glitz and glamour was a dark,
twisted reality I didn’t even want to think
Seeing the couple looking me over, I felt a
pang of panic.
I grabbed the photos of my deceased parents
and started to cry.
“Mom, Dad, I miss you so much! No one can
ever replace you in my heart…”
The couple exchanged worried glances.
The woman pointed at Zoe and hissed, “This
one’s ungrateful. We’ll take her!”
Zoe, beaming, dropped to her knees.
“Mom, Dad! I’ll be good, I promise!”
Just then the orphanage director arrived with

Just then, the orphanage director arrived with
Mr. Vandergelt.
Seeing me clutching the photos and crying,
he looked pleased.
He thought I was sentimental, and
immediately decided to adopt me.
Zoe, oozing malice, whispered, “Sis, I’m so
jealous you get a billionaire dad and a hot
older brother!”
Then, to Ethan, who was standing beside his
father, she said, “Ethan, now my sister’s
family. You have to take care of her!”
She really emphasized the word “take care
of.”
く
Ethan ignored her, looking at me with a
disturbing smirk.
Zoe gave me one last look, like I was already
dead, then grabbed the couple’s hands and
left without a backward glance.
Watching them go, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zoe, congrats on taking my place in hell…
Last time, while my sister was being tortured
by Ethan, I was making my debut, becoming a
superstar.
Later, I starred in a billion–dollar blockbuster,
instantly becoming America’s sweetheart.
To outsiders, my sister and I lived in heaven
L
and hell, respectively.
Zoe thought so, too.
She blamed me for everything that happened
to her.
When she set me on fire, she had no idea I
already wanted to die.
She didn’t realize that the “heaven” she was
so desperate to enter was the real hell.
Thinking about it, I glanced at Ethan, sitting
beside me.
Compared to the nightmares I faced last time,
he was practically an angel.
After all, what’s wrong with a psycho brother
く
who loves his sister?
Zoe couldn’t pull it off because she was too
stupid.
In the car, Ethan caught me staring at him
and snapped, “Done looking?”
He really didn’t act like a fifteen–year–old.
He was dark and terrifying.
I felt a jolt of fear.
Time to play the long game.
“Ethan, I’ve never seen a guy as hot as you.
Are you really gonna be my big brother?”
I gave him a sweet smile, all wide–eyed
admiration and longing.
Ethan turned to me, his cold gaze glinting
with amusement.
“You really want to be my sister?”
Duh!
I was ten, and his dad adopted me.
What choice did I have?
“Yup! I’m so happy to have a big brother who
cares about me!”
I faked excitement, then turned hesitant,
blushing and fiddling with the hem of my ratty
dress.
