Chapter 1

I had lost so much blood that a weightless, drifting sensation overcame me.In my daze, I thought I saw my mother—or rather, the version of her I had always imagined. My mother had died giving birth to me, bleeding out on the delivery table.It felt like a cruel twist of fate, a cycle doomed to repeat itself.In my final moments, I mustered the last of my strength to plead with Sophie Reed, my best friend. My voice trembled with desperation."Please, let me see my children. Just once. Just one look at the children I gave my life to bring into this world…"But Sophie only smirked, her voice sharp and triumphant as she said, "Your children? Once you're gone, they'll be mine."You're a pathetic woman who crawled out of a backwater village—what gives you the right to touch my man? What gives you the right to bear the Lewis family's children?"I stared at her, unblinking, as life slipped away from me.I thought I heard my children crying. I thought I heard the doctor recording my

[Bianca Sinclair from Willowbrook][Top Scorer Rejects Scholarship, Tutors to Pay Her Own Tuition][The Poor Student from a Poor County]These topics trended online for days, sparking nationwide discussions about students who lose the chance to continue their education due to poverty.In my previous life, what trended wasn't my story. It was a photo of Sophie and me. In the photo, she radiated confidence and beauty, while I looked pale and gaunt.She was hailed as a kind-hearted princess and praised for her beauty and generosity. Meanwhile, I, the actual top scorer, was reduced to her shadow.Scrolling through the trending topics now, I caught a glimpse of some less-than-flattering comments.[Sophie got into Jadebrook College with a special recommendation for her aerobics skills. That's nowhere near as impressive as Bianca, who earned the top score in the entire city.][The dress Sophie is wearing in this photo is from Dewberry Couture's summer collection. It costs a whopping

Chapter 3

When Sophie invited our roommates to dine at a five-star hotel, I pretended to be regretful."Sorry, I have an anatomy lab tomorrow. I still haven't memorized all the organ systems and structures," I said. "I'll probably be staying in the study room tonight."When Sophie handed out designer bags to the others, I held my dictionary-thick textbook and turned her down firmly."Those designer bags are too expensive, and they can't hold nearly as much as my canvas bag," I said.Faced with Sophie's repeated attempts to charm us, Claire happily fell into the trap. "Sophie, I want to be your best friend forever!"I couldn't help but scoff inwardly. If she really wanted to be Sophie's best friend forever, Claire's life was going to be very short.Zoey remained indifferent, but she accepted it because she couldn't refuse it. However, she just left it there, unused.Despite my and Zoey's deliberate distance, Sophie didn't get discouraged. She remained warm and friendly, never showing any o

Pushing open the gates of Reed Manor, I was met with the dazzling world of the elite.Wealth was blinding, but after three years as a wealthy family's daughter-in-law in my past life, I had grown accustomed to it.Sophie came out to greet us. Her makeup was flawless, and she was wearing a gown sparkling with diamonds. She shone even brighter than usual.Behind her were the Lewis brothers. They were the epitome of rich, handsome heirs—their very presence radiated wealth, privilege, and an almost untouchable air.Claire couldn't help but marvel. "Sophie, I've heard about your childhood friends being the college's heartthrobs, but I've never seen them in person. Now that I have, they're stunning! They look like they stepped right out of a romance movie!"Sophie smiled with pride and introduced us. "These are my beautiful roommates. All of them were top scorers in the college entrance exam. They're the perfect combination of intelligence and beauty—true high-quality women."The Lewis

Chapter 5

As in my previous life, Jonathan publicly confessed his feelings to Sophie under the sky full of fireworks.Once the fireworks show ended, the three of us quickly bid farewell to Sophie. She was lost in her own joy, oblivious to the tension between us. It wasn't until we got back to the dorm that we really started processing what had just happened.Claire was the first to speak, her voice sharp with anger. "So, Sophie and the twins are in a relationship, but they plan to use one of us as a decoy and a tool to have kids?"At that moment, I couldn't hold back any longer and spoke the truth—though I kept the fact that I had been reborn to myself. "Actually, when we took our group photo on the first day of college, I felt like the four of us looked strikingly similar—just that Sophie is more polished than the rest of us."I paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "If we all put on makeup, we'd look at least 80 percent alike."They both exchanged confused glances, and I could

Xavier pulled out his phone, clearly about to call his butler to send over 50 thousand dollars in cash. I quickly stopped him."I know you want to help, but I don't need it," I said, my voice firm. "Giving him money will only encourage his greed and won't solve the problem."I immediately dialed 911."Hello, Officer," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'm a student at Jadebrook College. Someone is pretending to be my dad and attempting to extort 50 thousand dollars from me."The man lunged toward me, trying to snatch my phone away. I reacted quickly, throwing myself to the ground. I felt a sharp sting as my face scraped against the rough surface, leaving a trail of blood.I cried out, pressing the phone to my ear. "Officer, please help! He's attacking me!"A crowd had gathered by now, and several classmates rushed to alert the library security. They quickly intervened, separating me from the man.I immediately called my counselor, pleading for her to come and help me.

Chapter 7

The next day, the three of us were still recovering from our hangovers when Sophie came back to the dormitory early and woke Zoey up."Zoey, Xavier's called you several times, but you didn't pick up. He's downstairs now with a bouquet of red roses. Looks like he's going to confess to you in front of everyone."I was instantly awake, panic flooding through me—another public confession was about to happen, but this time, it was for Zoey.Zoey just sat there, stunned, staring blankly for a long time. Sophie kept urging her to get up, get ready, and go downstairs to accept Xavier's confession.Zoey didn't move.After a while, she finally made up her mind. She got ready, went downstairs, and accepted the red roses from Xavier.Claire and I watched from upstairs, feeling a mix of emotions.Sophie also went downstairs. She and Jonathan, along with Zoey and Xavier, all went out together on a double date.Claire sighed, her voice heavy. "I'm afraid the odds aren't in Zoey's favor."The

Chapter 8

The year Zoey and Claire graduated, I was still only halfway through my journey—medical school required eight years of study for both a bachelor's and master's degree!At that point, Claire had become a well-known short video influencer with over ten million followers, while Zoey had successfully gotten pregnant.We exchanged a look and smiled."Let's have the showdown at the graduation ceremony," I said.On graduation day, Sophie took the stage as the most outstanding graduate.She was even more dazzling than before.I heard the set of pink diamonds she wore was worth millions, and it was an engagement gift from Jonathan. She had signed with a TV station and was engaged to a top-tier heir.At that moment, she had it all.It was then that Zoey showed the two videos to Jonathan's parents.Immediately, their faces changed. They left the ceremony with the Lewis brothers, cutting the event short.Zoey followed them out, but not before giving Claire and me a reassuring look.Soon
