I instinctively stroked the scar on my neck, it was the mark left after the System repaired me for the fourth time.

At that moment, the assistant set the coffee lightly on the desk.

“Mr. Greenwood, the cross-border acquisition case was successfully completed.”

The sound of porcelain hitting marble made my fingertips tremble.

A business partner teased Ben Greenwood, “Mr. Greenwood, you have both a talented consultant and a beautiful secretary. You always get the good-looking girls, you lucky brat.”

He bumped Ben’s shoulder, but was cut off by Ben’s icy gaze.

Ben shot me a sidelong glance, his eyes as cold as frost.

“You like Jennifer? Want me to introduce her to you so you can also taste what it feels like to be betrayed by family and watch your entire family fall?”

In an instant, the business partner shut his mouth.

Everyone in the company knew that the death of Ben’s first love, Mandy Somerfield, had something to do with me and the only reason he kept me by his side as his secretary was to torment me thoroughly.

I had been Ben’s follower since childhood, he knew that no matter what happened, I would never leave him.

I had to admit that I was deeply and uncontrollably in love with him, and for that love, I was willing to be punished.

I crouched beside the car, foolishly waiting for Ben to get off work.

Then Ben suddenly rushed out from behind and dragged me into the car.

His fingers pinched my chin with crushing force, as if he were going to break it.

“Jennifer, you should be dying soon, right? Use your last wish to erase the scar on Riley’s face.”

I panted and forced a faint smile.

“Ben, dying hurts.”

He hooked up a pleased yet vicious smile.

“What are you afraid of, Jennifer? It’s not like you’re dying for the first time, so what’s the difference?”

Riley was his advisor, and she looked exactly like Ben’s late first love.

As he spoke, he yanked open my shirt collar, stared at the scar, and wore a twisted smile.

Memories surged up like a tide.

Five years ago, on the night before the wedding, I joyfully tried on the pearl veil Ben had given me.

I never expected my mentally unstable mother to suddenly attack.

She stabbed a sharp knife toward my neck, and bright red blood dripped onto the white wedding dress.

And just like that, I died.

Before dying, I made a wish.

“I don’t want to die. I wish Mom wouldn’t kill me.”

After all, I had promised the late Mandy that I would take care of Ben in her place.

Ben had also said he would fulfill Mandy’s last wish and marry me.

I closed my eyes, thinking I would never wake again.

Then a mechanical voice suddenly rang in my mind.

“Congratulations, Host, for triggering your superpower. You have five resurrection chances. The wish you make before each death will come true. Here are the limits and conditions for the wishes.”

I didn’t have time to read the limits or conditions, I ran excitedly to Ben’s house.

“Ben, I have a system, I can make wishes... come... true.”

But I never expected that although I was revived, the one who died instead became Ben’s first love.

My mother tricked the Somerfield family out of everything they had.

Mandy’s dependent mother couldn’t bear it and jumped off a building, afterward, Mandy committed suicide as well.

Meanwhile, my mother fled and disappeared.

That gentle woman lay in the bathtub, wrapped in blood and water.

Ben’s face was streaked with tears, and in his devastated eyes, a spark of hope rose.

“Really? Jenny... then can you bring Mandy back to life?”

    “In order not to affect you, we had no choice but to keep it from you all this time.”“She had been resting well at my place, but a month ago... she suddenly disappeared...”Ben’s eyes widened slightly, and his always-cold face shattered inch by inch.He pulled out his phone and called frantically.But no one answered.Instead, another call with no caller ID came through.“Hello, do you know Jennifer?”He steadied his disordered breathing.“Yes. What happened?”“We received a report from the public. She committed suicide at home.”Ben didn’t even change his clothes.He rushed to my house as fast as he could.Police and neighbors crowded around the door.The stench could be smelled from miles away.He anxiously pushed through the crowd and entered, the moment he saw everything, he dropped to the ground.The entire bathtub full of blood instantly reddened his vision.He stared blankly at the slightly bloated corpse before him.Two streams of tears fell straight down.Hi

    Riley suddenly laughed again.“I grew tired. What was the use of having a man who never loved me? I can leave Jennifer alone, but she must get rid of the scar on my face! Otherwise, none of our agreements would count.”She hung up the phone.Ben took a deep breath.He stood there for a very, very long time, then dragged me out of his blacklist.“Jennifer, restore Riley’s scar. As for the past... we could talk about it.”I came back to my senses from their conversation and looked at that small line of text.It had always been my long-held wish to talk peacefully with Ben about what happened back then.But he would never again receive my reply.The company’s major project was approaching, and the discussions around Ben’s decisions were in full swing.He kept checking his phone during every short break, but I never replied.It wasn’t until he noticed the dust on the table growing thicker and thicker that he realized no one had been home at all—and so he stopped coming.Those t

    “Everything would get better.”I struggled to put on my formal clothes and lay down in the cold bathtub.I held my phone.The lock screen was still the childhood photo of me and Ben.I opened his WhatsApp, wanting to send him a message.But I discovered that he had blacklisted me.I smiled, turned on the faucet, and while waiting for the tub to fill, I chatted with the System.“I’m going to die again.”“Yes, Host. This is your last chance, but since all your wishes except the first were made for others, you are granted a special permission—this final wish has no restrictions. The last wish would definitely come true, but you yourself would not be able to revive again.” The System hesitated for a long time before speaking. “Host, I suggest you consider wishing to go to another world and start a new life, or perhaps—”It rambled on, truly caring about me.The bathtub had filled, I turned off the faucet, held the fruit knife, and without hesitation, slashed my wrist.Half my wr

    When I opened my eyes again, everything in sight was white.I lowered my head and looked at the thick bandages on my left leg.I searched through my memories and realized that my last wish had not been used up.I let out a sigh.This was the situation I feared most.I had failed to die, the System had not fulfilled anything, and all that agony had been for nothing.I was still dazed when the doctor in a white coat walked up to me.I only came back to my senses when he spoke..“Your left leg suffered an explosive fracture, three ribs broke, and you have a mild concussion. Also, you’re malnourished, so you need a long period of proper rest, understood?”I came back to myself and smiled at the doctor.“Doctor, can I recover in three months? I need to attend an important company project.”The entire ward fell into a long silence.My smile slowly faded.The doctor finally forced himself to continue.“I’m very sorry to tell you... you won’t be able to do high-intensity work any
