Feel-Good Story

After completing the quest, I insisted on staying in that world, foregoing the lucrative rewards. It was because I had a happy and perfect family there. My brother was a genius world-renowned scientist, and all his research achievements were named after me. My father was the world's richest man, and all his wealth was under my name. My mother was an extraordinarily talented dancer, but she gave up the stage just to spend more time with me. My family pampered me. I was the most envied pampered daughter in the world… until the day their real daughter, Carrie Langford, showed up at our door. Their love for me vanished overnight. From then on, I became inconsequential. Carrie orchestrated her own fall down the stairs, and my mother was so angry that she broke my leg. I ate a small bite of the cake Carrie threw away, so my father locked me in a dog cage for three days to dine with the dogs. He also made a golden cake for Carrie to make her feel better. Just because Carrie complained that her heart hurt, my brother dug out my heart for her and replaced it with an artificial heart. "It's just a heart. You've always been healthy. Carrie needs it more than you do." Calmly, my brother stood to the side, analyzing the data. "Don't worry, artificial heart technology is already very advanced, so the theoretical survival rate is very high. You won't die." After my soul left my body, I saw Carrie casually throw my heart into a trash can. The long-dormant system was awakened. [Would you like to take back everything you've given them, including your father's wealth, your mother's dancing talent, and your brother's intelligence, in exchange for a chance to revive?]

Chapter 1
Wracked with agonizing pain as I lay dying, I chose "Yes" in my mind without hesitation. [Selection confirmed. Return procedure initiated. Countdown: 72 hours.] [Because you overstayed in this world against the rules, you must fulfill certain conditions to activate the return procedure.] [Within 72 hours, your mother must perform a dance for you, your father must spend money on you, and your brother must name an experiment after you.] My body's intense rejection of the artificial heart drained the vitality from my body. I dragged my broken body back home one slow step at a time. The Langford family was holding a party to celebrate Carrie's return. I appeared at the door in blood-stained hospital gown, instantly becoming the center of attention. When my mother saw me, the smile on her face immediately faded. "Jasmine Langford! It's just a minor surgery, so stop acting like it's a big deal! Carrie had surgery too and is already healthy enough to attend the party!

Chapter 2
To complete the quest, I forced myself to endure it all. Finally, my mother kicked me to the ground. She looked down at me from above. "That's all you've got, and you want to watch me dance? Fine, then I'll use your body as my stage!" With that, she danced on my back, my limbs, and even my face. The excruciating pain made my body spasm, and blood oozed from the wounds. I heard the sound of my bones breaking, and I also heard the gasps and cheers of the guests. "It’s no wonder she’s the world’s best; she’s incredible! To be able to dance so steadily on such an uneven 'stage'!" When the dance ended, I lay in a pool of blood, my consciousness fading. My mother bowed gracefully, kicked my face with the tip of her shoe, and said with a sneer, "Remember this lesson. Don't ever try to compete with Carrie for affection again. You're not worthy!" At the same time, a system prompt sounded in my mind. [Condition 1 met. Reclamation of your mother's dance talent initiated.] My

Chapter 3
My father looked at me, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he still hardened his heart and said, "Jasmine, I spoiled you too much in the past. Carrie has suffered far more than you have. Consider this the payback. Don't worry, I've had a word with them so they won't go overboard." No sooner had he finished speaking than the grooming team surrounded me. They scrubbed the gory wounds on my body with metal brushes used for bathing large vicious dogs!The strong corrosive cleaning agent seeped into my wounds, cutting into my flesh like countless burning knives. My skin was being scrubbed away in large patches, revealing bright red tender meat, which then became corroded and turned pale. I was in so much pain that I nearly lost consciousness but was repeatedly sprayed awake by their high-pressure water guns. My father spent a hundred thousand dollars to wash me clean. He held Carrie and pointed at me who was in agony in the bathtub. With a gentle smile, he said, "S

Realizing what Egor intended to do, I quickly shouted, "Egor , I'll die without that battery!"My plea fell on deaf ears. Egor ordered some people to bind me to a nearby mobile operating table. "What are you afraid of? My skills are superb; there won't be any accidents." He then turned to Carrie and spoke tenderly, "Carrie, don't cry. I'll take out Jasmine's heart battery, and your little puppy can stay with you forever." He cut open my bloody chest with a scalpel.No anesthesia, no disinfection. I could clearly feel the tools stirring and searching in my chest cavity. They scraped against my ribs, making a sound that made my teeth ache."Found it." Egor's voice carried a hint of excitement. He forcefully yanked it out! At that moment, I felt like all the blood in my body stopped flowing. My life started slipping away at an alarming speed.My brother expertly made simple modifications to the battery and placed it inside Carrie's robot pet dog. The little dog immedia

Chapter 5
[Reclamation procedure fully initiated.] [Countdown: 10, 9, 8…]My consciousness sank into an infinite darkness, but a peculiar sensation washed over me. I transformed into some kind of spiritual form, floating close to the ceiling.The Langford family was still immersed in a light-hearted atmosphere having solved Carrie's little problem, completely unaware of the electrocardiogram on the nearby instrument that had turned into a straight line. "Egor, look! Sparky's eyes are shining! You're amazing!" Carrie hugged the robot dog and jumped with excitement.Mom smiled gently, teasing, "You just love bothering your brother." After that, she shook my lifeless body and shouted, "Jasmine, honestly, grow up. Stop trying to gain attention by faking death."Dad impatiently walked over to the operating table with a frown and ordered, "Jasmine, quit acting! It's not funny. Do you think we'll feel sorry for you if you do this? Open your eyes right now!"He roughly pried my eyelids op

Almost at the same time, trouble struck Dad as well. Just as he was about to rush over to help Mom up, his phone started vibrating wildly, and countless messages from the bank popped up on the screen.[Dear Mr. Langford, your assets have been withdrawn from your account ending in xxxx, your current balance $0.01.][Dear Mr. Langford, your shares in the Langford Group have been forcibly liquidated to offset debts.][WARNING: All your assets are disappearing at an alarming rate!]"Impossible! Where has my money gone?" Dad's face turned pale. He frantically refreshed his mobile banking app, but the long string of numbers on the screen was quickly decreasing to zero.Egor was still immersed in the agony of causing his own sister's death when a sudden sharp pain shot through his brain, and the world went black.He clutched his head in pain. His brain felt like it had turned to mush. The once clear formulas, data, and theoretical models in his mind had now become a pile of incomprehe

At the same time, my brother's assistant arrived with a group of medical staff.Seeing my brother clutching his head and staring blankly ahead, the assistant was taken aback."Professor Langford! What happened?"When he checked the instruments and inspected my body on the operating table, his face turned pale."Quick! Get Professor Langford to the neurology department! And... seal off the scene to protect Ms. Langford's body!"The chaos in the banquet hall reached its peak.My father was taken away by the police, my mother was sent to a rehabilitation center to treat her physical condition, and my brother was urgently rushed to the hospital for a brain examination.The once glorious Langford family collapsed in a matter of minutes.Meanwhile, Carrie was firmly restrained by the bodyguards who remained behind. I floated in the air, observing coldly. I saw my father aged decades overnight in the interrogation room. He gave up all defenses and made only one request: to inves

Chapter 8
They all happened to return to the Langford family mansion at the same time. Carrie was chained up in the basement. Due to the system's backlash, her face, which had previously become beautiful by stealing my luck, had become mediocre again. It was even covered with pustules due to the chaotic energy. Seeing the three of them walk in, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes. "Dad, Mom, Egor... save me..." The response she got was the steel pipe in Dad's hand. "Don't call me Dad, I don't have an evil daughter like you."He approached her slowly, his voice hoarse. "Do you remember, Carrie? Because you staged the fall down the stairs, Jasmine's leg was broken." Carrie shrank back in horror. "No... it wasn't me... it was the system..." "I don't care!" Dad roared, raising the steel pipe high. "All I know is that my daughter lost a leg because of you! Now, it's time for payback!" The sound of bones cracking, accompanied by Carrie's shrill screams, echoed in the basem

Chapter 9
The suffocation and stench made Carrie cough and gag violently, but she couldn't bring anything up. She was tortured beyond recognition, her consciousness wavering between wakefulness and unconsciousness. She finally understood that everything she endured was only a fraction of the pain I suffered. Carrie was overwhelmed with regret, but in this world, there was no medicine for regret. The doctor who operated on me had his heart brutally dug out. The pet grooming team turned into white bones in high-concentration sulfuric acid. The lives of the guests who kicked me when I was down were ruined and they ended up miserable.Dad used all his power to drag everyone who had hurt me down into hell.Every day, he would visit my grave and tell me about the people he had punished that day, his voice laced with a morbid satisfaction."Jasmine, I made that bad doctor who dug out your heart experience having his heart dug out of him too. Does that make you happy?" "Jasmine, that wo

Chapter 10
There was no loud explosion, only a profound silence. In that white light, I saw my brother's body, along with the entire signal tower, instantaneously transform into the most basic particles and dissipate into the air. With his final research, my brother presented me with the grandest and most resolute funeral.[Time remaining: 3 minutes.] [Is the host ready to return?]I floated above the city, watching the three people I once loved end their sinful lives in the most tragic manner.I said softly to the system, "A little longer."I went to my grave. The flowers in front of the tombstone had wilted, but the tombstone was spotless. "Goodbye, Dad.""Goodbye, Mom.""Goodbye, Egor.""Goodbye, Jasmine."I quietly bid them farewell, saying goodbye to them and also to my once naive self who thought love could last forever.Never forgive. Never meet again.[Time remaining: 0.][Beginning teleportation—]Everything went black, and I completely lost consciousness.When
