Feel-Good Story

In my previous life, after I got divorced, the court awarded me custody of our newborn son, as he was still nursing. On the other hand, our daughter would live with my ex-husband. I raised my son to be humble and polite. He was admitted to MIT. On the day the results were announced, various media outlets rushed to interview me to ask about my parenting secrets. Meanwhile, my daughter dropped out of school and eloped with a hooligan. She got pregnant before she was even sixteen, becoming a negative example of teenage delinquency. At thirty, she was still sponging off her father, having achieved nothing in life. My ex-husband's dream of having a successful daughter was shattered, much to his shame. He came to confront me at my son's college acceptance party. He insisted that I had passed on bad genes to our daughter, which caused her failure. During the argument, he stabbed me in the chest and then jumped to his death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the courtroom on the day of the child custody ruling. This time, my ex-husband spoke before I could, asking the judge to grant him custody of our son. I immediately realized he too had been reborn.

Chapter 1
My chest was still aching faintly when I heard the sharp sound of the gavel echoing through the courtroom."Both parties, please state your reasons for seeking custody!"Before I could fully grasp what was happening, I heard the familiar voice of my ex-husband, Jason Langford."Your Honor! I have a job and a stable source of income. I can provide my son with the best education and environment! I request the court to grant me his custody!"I looked at my son, crying in the audience, at my daughter whose eyes were red, and at my agitated ex-husband, and suddenly, everything clicked into place.I was reborn!I was reborn to the day I was in court with my ex-husband fighting for custody!After hearing what Jason said, the judge hesitated."Shawn Langford is less than a hundred days old and has not reached the age to be weaned from breastfeeding. The court recommends that his custody be given to the mother, Luna Combs, while Anna Langford, who is six years old, be in the custody of

I will always remember how naughty and unruly my son was in my previous life.At the age of three, he pushed a female classmate down the slide in kindergarten and abused the neighbor's pet cat.He was also a habitual liar. He often pushed blame onto others and shirked responsibility...I beat him and scolded him, but he wouldn't change.At the age of six, he pushed the neighbor's daughter into the swimming pool on purpose, almost killing her.After that day, I realized that I had to do something.If I didn't, Shawn would eventually grow into a problematic teenager who would cause harm to others.I decided to take Shawn back to the countryside and spend a year educating him in all aspects of his thoughts and behavior.At first, he would not listen and often ran away from home, so I asked the local hooligans I had contacted in advance to intercept him. When they caught him, they would beat him up.It must be said that when dealing with naughty children, social education is somet

Chapter 3
Three years had passed since my divorce, and it was the third year since I had re-entered the workforce.The project I was in charge of made the company a lot of money.With the project bonus, I signed my daughter up for the piano and dance classes she had always wanted to take.After being reborn, I paid great attention to my daughter's material and psychological needs.I didn't want her to be easily moved by a boy's cheap concern in the future due to the lack of family love and the lack of material and psychological fulfillment.To my surprise, I saw Jason again for the first time in three years at the entrance of the youth activity center.Jason was also surprised to see me and Anna. Noticing my daughter's practice clothes, he scoffed and said, "You sure are willing to spend money on her, Luna! These extracurricular classes aren't cheap. Are you really trying to make something out of trash?"Jason's cutting words made my daughter swallow the word "Daddy" that she was about to

"So what if he's only three years old?"Jason was immersed in his dream of having a successful son."A child’s future can already be seen from an early age. My son is smart, of course I can't let his talent go to waste! Let me tell you, in addition to programming, I've also signed him up for Olympiad classes, computer classes, and preschool physics competitions. Luna, not everyone is as mediocre as your daughter!"I was furious."You're gonna suffocate him! He's only three years old! You should be cultivating his self-care ability and his morals. His body can't handle this many after-school classes!"In my previous life, I raised Shawn for over ten years, so I knew him best.His eyes looked dazed and unfocused, which was an obvious sign that his body was working beyond its capacity.I recalled hearing from a mutual friend that Shawn had pushed a girl in his class into a pond during a field trip and almost drowned her, and that Jason had paid a lot of money for it. I couldn't hel

Chapter 5
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. My daughter Anna got accepted into her favorite university.Her grades weren't outstanding, but at least she had developed in a well-rounded manner and found a major she loved, which was art design. She even got an early admission.At the party I threw for Anna, Jason showed up uninvited. He ridiculed Anna and I, spouting the same old lines about lacking quality genes and being mediocre for life.To be honest, I never wished for my children to become top students. Even when I raised Shawn, I merely corrected his bad habits. He got into MIT purely on his own effort.To see the change in trajectory in Anna's life and to see her grow up healthy and happy was more than good enough for me.When neither Anna nor I paid him any mind, Jason brought up a big piece of news."Shawn also took the SAT this year!"He had crashed Anna's party to publicly announce Shawn's exam results.He wanted to prove he was the more successful educator!Over the pa

Chapter 6
Whoosh!The lights went out, casting the entire venue into darkness, including the big screen that had yet to load the scores.Jason yelled angrily, "Luna! What's the meaning of this? Are you playing dirty because you can't beat me? Turn the lights back on immediately, or else!"What does this have to do with me?After comforting my frightened daughter, I was just about to check on the situation when the lights in the venue turned back on.Shawn stood not far away, still out of breath, seeming to have just arrived.Seeing Shawn, Jason stopped yelling at me. He introduced Shawn to the audience."Everyone, this is my son, the top student, Shawn Langford! Don't be surprised when you see his score! I'm sure MIT will call with a scholarship offer soon! My son only managed to achieve this because he inherited my excellent genes! It has nothing to do with that woman over there!"Lost in his fantasy of glory, Jason completely failed to notice the darkening expression on his son's face.

Jason was shocked."What are you talking about, son? H-how can you think of me like that? No one in the world loves you more than I do, and I've always wished for your success!""Stop deceiving yourself, Jason Langford. You don't love me. You love the talent that you imagined I had! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? A waste who doesn't even have a high school diploma is dreaming of his son being a genius. I think you're the biggest fool in the world!"Shawn held the microphone and berated Jason with fervor.Jason fumed with anger."I was wrong about you, Shawn. You carry some of Luna's inferior genes, so there's no hope of success for you! I fed you and took care of you for years, yet you disappointed me..."I had no idea which word struck Shawn's nerves. He grabbed a cake knife, charged at Jason like a madman and plunged the knife deep into Jason's abdomen.Once, twice...Jason was soon covered in blood.Shawn, fueled by anger, looked ferocious, and none of the

Chapter 8
Jason was rushed to the hospital.Because of the trauma of the college admission party from my previous life, I had specifically instructed the banquet hall to avoid sharp knives and forks this time.Therefore, the knife Shawn used to stab Jason was made from plastic, so it only injured Jason's spleen and stomach and did not endanger his life.Anna's college admission party ended in this absurd manner.I felt guilty and suggested holding another party to make it up to her.But Anna said it was fine.She told me she had a dream recently where she had two children with no degree and no job. She lived under Jason's watchful eye, becoming someone entirely unrecognizable to herself.Anna said she had a new life now, so everything's good; she was content.After the incident, Jason turned his attention to me and Anna again, perhaps because he realized he had lost everything.For the first time in this life, he realized that he still had a daughter.He started to intercept Anna on he

Hearing what Anna said, I suddenly understood the significance of my hard work over the years.The service at my apartment complex turned out to be very efficient!After Jason was sent away, Anna asked me hesitantly, "Mom, was I too heartless?"I shook my head with a smile. Over the years, Anna's feelings towards Jason had always been complicated.On one hand, she detested his irresponsibility as a father, yet on the other, she couldn't completely forget him due to their biological connection.To be honest, I feel the same way about Shawn.Even though I now knew the truth about my previous life, when I recalled how he had actively let go of my hand and jumped that day, I still couldn't move on."Anna, you did nothing wrong. Family ties can sometimes be the most inexplicable things in the world. But remember, you must first love yourself; everything else comes after."-In late September, Anna moved to the capital for college.Jason, who had disappeared for a long time, sudden
