Chapter 1

A fairy tale landed on my doorstep, or so it seemed. An estate lawyer showed up with a family heirloom, proposing a marriage alliance.

My parents were blatant in their favoritism. They pushed my younger sister into the wealthy union while packing me off to work abroad.

Shortly after she married, her husband―a spoiled rich kid―got caught on camera beating a disabled waiter at a restaurant. Then, his family's business crumbled under a product scandal, and they spiraled into ruin. My sister and her husband ended up as beggars on the street.

Meanwhile, I married a struggling screenwriter abroad. To everyone's shock, his hit series blew up, connecting us with A-list directors. Our future looked limitless.

Years later, I returned home as a Hollywood star. I saw my sister, ragged and homeless.

In a fit of madness, she threw herself at me, dragging me into oncoming traffic. I died under the wheels of a massive truck.

When I opened my eyes, I was back at a dinner table. The man sitting opposite me, claiming to be my husband, was none other than the brother-in-law from my past life!

I looked up just in time to see my sister, arm-in-arm with my husband, walking out of the restaurant and flashing me a triumphant, wicked grin.

I felt a wave of dizziness, and when I blinked, a Cartier gift box sat before me. The young man across the table smiled.

It was my brother-in-law! The shock made my head ring like a bell.

A familiar voice echoed from across the room. "Waiter, check please."

I turned to see my husband, Holden, gently pulling my sister close. She draped herself over his arm, and they walked right past me toward the door.

In a haze, I heard her whisper, "Welcome to the hell of the elite, sis. Your turn to suffer."

Suddenly, fragmented images flashed through my brain like a movie on fast-forward. The memories of my past and present collided like a tidal wave.

It wasn't just a rebirth; we had switched lives.

I now had to call the man jabbering away in front of me my husband.

"Sienna, why are you so quiet? Don't you like the bracelet? My parents had their first date at this restaurant. It's small, but the food is incredible, especially the soup!"

As he spoke, a weather-beaten middle-aged man limped over, carrying a bowl of soup. He glanced at our expensive attire, slammed the bowl down with a scowl, and muttered, "Rich kids coming to a dive to show off."

Hot broth splashed onto my hand, making me gasp. Holden was on his feet in an instant, grabbing the waiter by the collar to demand an apology.

The waiter was just as fiery, swearing at him. Tempers flared, and it only stopped when the owner rushed out, bowing and apologizing profusely.

It all happened too fast. I couldn't stop it. In my past life, I watched the viral videos of this exact incident from abroad. My brother-in-law and sister were doxed and ruined by an angry mob.

I never imagined that in this timeline, it would start because of me.

My phone rang. It was my sister, Scarlett. I answered.

"Sister, did you enjoy the soup I sent your way? You spent your last life living it up abroad while I endured hell. Now, it's your turn to taste the gutter. I dragged Holden back to the country early just to make sure I didn't miss the show. Hahaha―"

I hung up before she could finish laughing.

Life is a movie you can't edit. Every choice is a foreshadowing of the future. You think you can control me just because you came back early?
