Synopsis

Feel-Good Story

Childhood Sweethearts

Scumbag

Roommate

Pregnancy

System

Revenge

On the first day of classes, my roommate gives me a crystal bracelet as a welcome gift. Without thinking, I quickly adorn it around her mother's wrist. In my past life, my roommate wanted to be a social butterfly. She was determined to have a hundred boyfriends by the time she graduated. But no matter how reckless she was, she never ended up conceiving. On the other hand, I kept getting pregnant and having countless miscarriages. But unlike her, I had never been in a relationship. The entire university mocked me, labeling me promiscuous and shameless. During my 66th miscarriage, I died on the operating table from severe bleeding. It was only after death that I realized the crystal bracelet my roommate gave me had somehow linked our wombs together. As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized I had gone back to the first day of the semester.

Chapter 1
"From now on, we'll be roommates. This crystal bracelet is a little welcome gift. It's said to bring good luck," Ruby declared, her words brimming with excitement. With a cheerful smile, she placed the delicate bracelet into my hand.Staring at the familiar crystals, I suddenly realized I had been reborn."Thank you for the thoughtful gift, but this bracelet looks expensive. We've just met, so I don't think it's appropriate for me to accept something so costly. I'm afraid I can't take it." As I spoke, I tried to return the bracelet to her.Ruby and her mother, Edith Klein, were dressed in plain clothes. Their attire seemed to reflect a life far from luxury. Still, something about the situation felt off.Though there were four of us in the dorm, Ruby was only offering the bracelet to me.Daniel gently placed his hand over mine. "Ruby's offering the bracelet to you out of kindness. You'll be roommates for the next four years. Accepting it is just basic courtesy.""Exactly," Ruby ch

Once the enrollment process was complete, Ruby took it upon herself to invite everyone in the dorm for a meal. As we gathered around the dinner table, she proudly declared, "My goal is to become the most famous social butterfly on campus and date a hundred guys. A person as charming as me should definitely make the most of it."My two roommates and I couldn't help but frown at her words.Catherine spoke up without hesitation, "Isn't that a bit much? It sounds like you're turning relationships into some kind of game. Besides, isn't that guy sitting next to you your boyfriend? Doesn't it bother him when you say things like that?"Before Ruby could respond, Daniel quickly interjected, "You're missing the point. This is about embracing openness and freedom. I find Ruby's carefree attitude incredibly captivating. Besides, I'm Ruby's official boyfriend. Everyone else is just passing shadows. As long as Ruby has me in her heart, why should I care?"With that, the two of them held hands an

Since Ruby stayed out all night, the RA reported her as missing, and the whole thing ended up on record. But instead of blaming her, Daniel put the blame on me for not covering for her."You two are roommates. What would it have cost you to have her back? Are you really jealous just because I picked her over you? Why don't you take a good look in the mirror? How could you possibly compare to Ruby? What right do you have to be so upset?"Rolling my eyes, I brushed him off and made my way back to the dorm.It was only the first week of the semester, and Ruby already had three boyfriends. Every time I came back from the library, she'd be downstairs, tangled up with a different guy.A few of our coursemates had begun to take notice. While some judged her as shameless, others admired her bold personality.A kind student gently warned her, "Sleeping with so many people will affect your health. As a young woman, it's important to look after yourself."Ruby waved off the concern. "I'm pe

Chapter 4
Ruby kept up her pattern of being with a new man every three days. Since she hardly ever returned to the dorm, our interactions were few and far between.Three months later, Ruby posted a question in the freshman group chat."Is it really possible for someone to be pregnant with a three-month-old and a one-month-old at the same time?"She deleted the message within a minute.Everyone who saw it thought she was joking and dismissed it. But I knew better. After all, the fetuses in Mrs. Winslow's belly had come from Ruby. It was then that I realized the real show was about to start.The next day, Ruby showed up in a fury, insisting I go with her to the hospital. Before I even stepped inside the ward, I could hear heated voices echoing from within.A hoarse male voice boomed with anger. "I've been away on business trips for months. Whose children are you carrying? And to make matters worse, there are two of them! How could you betray me like this?"Mrs. Winslow's voice cracked under

Chapter 5
After returning to the ward, Ruby no longer brought up the idea of going to another hospital for further tests. Instead, she began trying to convince her parents to abort the babies.Having already been betrayed, Mr. Winslow was boiling with anger. His expression soured, and he looked like he could rip someone apart with his bare hands.If this weren't a hospital full of people, I had no doubt he would've beaten both Ruby and Mrs. Winslow senseless.After Ruby left, I reached for the crystal bracelet around my wrist, only to find it clinging to me as if it had grown tendrils. No matter how hard I tugged, it wouldn't come off.A chill ran down my spine. Ruby's system was definitely behind this. But as long as I uncovered the truth behind it, breaking free wouldn't be impossible.I paid a hefty sum to find a new-age guru who specialized in energy crystals. The moment he laid eyes on the bracelet on my wrist, his brows furrowed. "This bracelet is no ordinary trinket. Whoever used it

Chapter 6
Ruby waited in the surgery room for a grueling eight hours. After the long wait, the fetuses in Mrs. Winslow's womb were finally removed. Though the doctors had done everything in their power, Mrs. Winslow was left with serious complications.When she came out of the ward, her face was completely drained of color.The doctor repeatedly stressed, "Mrs. Winslow's body is no longer able to carry a pregnancy. She must be very careful. It's best for her to avoid any sexual activity for the next six months."Ruby nodded, though her eyes remained dark and unreadable.With Mr. Winslow refusing to take care of Mrs. Winslow, Ruby had no choice but to take a week off from classes to care for her during her recovery.For an entire week, I didn't have to listen to Ruby's constant chatter about her latest flings. Life felt serene.Meanwhile, Mrs. Winslow's two consecutive pregnancies and abortions were impossible to keep under wraps. Her relatives and friends couldn't help but gossip, speculat

Chapter 7
Weeks slipped away in the blink of an eye.Ruby's mission to date a hundred guys had already gone well past the halfway mark.In her dorm room, she hung a canvas featuring a countdown from one to 100. Every time she "conquered" someone new, she crossed off another number.Not only was Ruby sleeping with different men frequently, but she also refused to use any protection. Whenever anyone reminded her, she'd merely respond with mockery and disdain. At that pace, getting pregnant was almost unavoidable.I couldn't forget the doctors' constant warnings.Mrs. Winslow's body was no longer strong enough to carry a child safely. Another pregnancy could very well cost her life.That afternoon, Ruby took a nap in the dorm. During her video call with Mrs. Winslow, I noticed her voice growing faint, her words slipping out in strained whispers.A pang of pity welled up inside me. Ruby might be detestable, but Mrs. Winslow was truly innocent. Even so, I didn't know how to step in. If the tru

"Don't worry. Mrs. Winslow is already at the hospital, so she'll be fine. Let me know if you need anything. I'll do what I can." To make it more believable, I gripped the edge of the couch and pretended to gag.Ruby was quiet for a few seconds. "It's okay. If you're not feeling well, just stay home and rest."After ending the call, I placed a hand on my round belly. It was true; leaving wasn't practical. My stomach was stuffed with fried chicken and cornbread.That afternoon, Ruby posted an obituary on her social media. Mrs. Winslow had passed away. She took some time off to return home and handle the funeral arrangements.Once everything was settled, Ruby posted a quote. "Perhaps it's all for the best."I was left bewildered. Her reaction didn't sit right with me.When Ruby returned from the funeral, she seemed drained, and her temper became more unpredictable with each passing day. Her favorite tight-fitting clothes suddenly didn't fit the way they used to.She convinced herse

Chapter 9
After class, I made my usual trip to the library. I planned to borrow a few books to read in my dorm.When I reached a corner on the first floor, I caught sight of Ruby and Daniel whispering to each other. Both of them looked unusually tense.Driven by curiosity, I carefully inched closer to catch their conversation.Agitated, Daniel grabbed Ruby's hand. "Didn't you say that any pregnancies or illnesses you might have would transfer to Victoria? How could this happen?"Tears started to fall from Ruby's eyes. "I don't understand why this is happening either. The bracelet was on her wrist. Logically, she should've been the one to get pregnant. When I put the bracelet on her at the hospital, I had a feeling my mom's connection to my womb wasn't completely severed. As long as I got pregnant, the child could transfer to either of them."But since my mom is dead, the child should've gone to Victoria. So why is it still in my belly?"I covered my mouth in shock. Despite knowing the risk

Chapter 10
I followed Ruby to the hospital and told the doctor I was her roommate. I explained that her medical report had been misplaced and asked if I could get a new copy printed.The doctor was busy. Seeing that I had provided the correct details about Ruby, she didn't ask any further questions. Without delay, she pulled up Ruby's records and handed me the printed report.To my surprise, it showed that Ruby had contracted syphilis.I left the hospital with the report in hand and created a new account to post on the campus forum."Attention, everyone! I have something important to share. Ruby Winslow, who's known for her promiscuity, has now contracted an STD. Male students, stay away from her and don't fall for her lies."I attached a photo of the medical report.After everything was sorted, I made myself comfortable, waiting for the moderators to give the green light to my post.By 7:00 pm, I saw multiple new posts flooding the forum. Among the usual love-struck confessions, mine stoo
