Chapter 1

“Happy graduation!”Someone suddenly shoved a stack of pots and pans into my arms.I spaced out, and everything fell to the floor with a loud crash.The expression of the woman before me instantly darkened.“Julia, what are you doing?! I spent so much time picking out these kitchen utensils for you! It’s perfect for a woman!”Orion Spencer’s mom, Claudia Palmer, would not stop yelling at me while shoving a finger in my face.However, I was still caught up in the joy of returning to the past.I did the math and realized it was the last day to sign up for the graduate school exam.“Are you even listening? How can you take care of Orion like this?”When I heard Orion’s name, his tall, confident figure flashed in my mind.In my past life, I always thought I was lucky to win him over.He was handsome and one of the best students in school. He loved basketball and even made it onto the state team. He also enjoyed writing songs, and people loved whatever he wrote.When he mentione

I did not want a divorce. Why should I? I had given everything to our family.When Orion’s parents got sick, I was the one who took care of them. Meanwhile, Orion was out traveling.I raised our son by myself and helped him grow into a successful person. He did not even talk to his dad until he was eighteen.Yet, my son said I was an ignorant country bumpkin.I shouted and demanded that they treat me fairly. Even the neighbors came out to see what was going on.Eventually, they gave in, and the four of us later went on a hike.That was when they all tried to push me off a cliff.I grabbed my son’s leg and held on tight.I begged him to save me for all the years I had raised him.However, he looked down at me with disgust and angrily told me the truth.“You’re not my real mom. Your baby girl died when she was born. My real mom was too weak to take care of me, so they gave me to you.“If I had a choice, I never would’ve wanted you to raise me!”At that moment, I completely

By the time I got home, it was incredibly late.The apartment was small, but every part was decorated in the way Orion liked.We were about to break up soon, and I felt more upset about the money I had spent than anything else.So, I took out my bag and started packing up all my valuables to sell at a shop nearby.While packing, I saw the scarf I had made for Orion.I had always been better at larger hands-on projects. Fine, detailed work was just not my thing. I kept pricking my fingers over and over while trying to sew it.When Orion saw it, he immediately said it was ugly.However, it actually did not look too bad to me.I sighed and put it away. Maybe I could still use it in winter.After selling my things, I came back, and the apartment looked a lot emptier.I decided to take the rest once I was ready to leave for good.I did not plan on leaving Orion anything.He came home very late.I saw him, and his face was a bit red. He looked like he might be a little drunk.“

I leaned back in the chair. I was completely drained, but I breathed a big sigh of relief.Everyone thought that I was lucky. I was just an orphan with no support, yet I got to marry Orion.So, during our wedding in my past life, all the attention was on him. Even when people spoke to me, they would only tell me to be thankful and behave.However, I did just as well as him in school.Still, the only recognition I got was being “the girl who married Orion.”This time, I did not want that. I wanted to live for myself.The day before our wedding, I sold everything in the apartment that was worth money.Orion was hardly ever home, and he did not really care about the apartment. Therefore, he did not notice that anything was gone.He left all the wedding planning to Claudia. But today, he actually asked me to meet him at the bridal shop.When I arrived, I saw Orion sitting inside.Just as I walked over, the curtain in front of me drew open.It was Sofia.She was wearing a stra

However, whatever guilt Orion had disappeared as soon as we got home and he saw Sofia.She was sitting and crying outside my door.“My landlord kicked me out. I can’t withdraw any money from the card you gave me…”The first thing Orion did was look at me.“You changed your PIN?”My heart sank, and I started putting the pieces together.“What do you mean?”He shook off my hand in anger and said, “Why didn’t you tell me you changed it? Sofia needs that money to rent a place!”I was furious. “What does her rent have to do with me? That is the money my parents left me!”I could not believe it. Orion had been using my money to pay for Sofia’s rent!No wonder I previously did not have much money left in my bank account despite my best efforts to save.It looked like the same thing had happened in my past life.He and his family had used up my money!Sofia leaned against the wall and slowly got to her feet. Then, she gave me a pitiful look.“How can you say that? Isn’t your mone

We all got up at 5 a.m.Sofia acted like she felt guilty and offered to assist as my bridesmaid. She ran around helping me to get ready.However, the hair and makeup she did for me did not suit me at all.She wore a fancier dress and had better makeup than I did. Anyone who did not know better would think she was the bride.Claudia wanted to keep things simple, so Orion and I were both leaving for our wedding from our apartment.Just as we were about to walk out, he suddenly grabbed my hand in anger.“Why did you secretly sign up for the graduate school exam?” he asked.I was caught off guard, but I tried to stay calm.“You must have the wrong person.”He pulled out his phone and showed me a message.“Isn’t this you?“Julia, on our graduation day, didn’t you run out to the internet cafe to sign up for this?”Orion grabbed my hand so hard that it hurt. I tried to pull away.“What if I did? You have no right to control where I go!”“You’re not allowed to go.”“Dream on!”

Chapter 7

I felt a bit nervous.However, Orion always cared so much about his image. The thought of messing everything up in front of him made me happy.The officiant went through the steps for our wedding.When it was my turn to speak, he asked, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?”“I don’t.”Everyone went silent in shock.Orion looked at me in disbelief, like something broke inside him.“You said the wrong thing, didn’t you?”“Nope.” I smiled and took the microphone from the officiant.“The real bride today is someone else!”Right then, the video I had prepared started playing.It showed many clips of Orion being very close to Sofia.Everyone thought Orion had been really good to me. In their eyes, he was the perfect husband.After that, I pulled a shocked Sofia up on stage.“Look at her! Her dress is fancier than mine, and her makeup is prettier. If she’s not the bride, who is?”The guests started whispering.“Wow, it’s so obvious.” “I can’t believe O

Chapter 8

After resting for a day, I treated my lecturer and her professor friend to a meal. I also bought the professor a small gift.At first, I was worried about being too nervous.However, I stayed calm and confident. Maybe because I had lived a whole life before, so I spoke easily with the professor.I could see that he liked me, and it made me feel even more sure of myself.At the end of the meal, we exchanged our contact information.After that, we started preparing for the exams.The day before graduate school started, I ran into Orion in Jovia.I did not expect him to follow me all the way to my new apartment.I was about to close the door when it suddenly got stuck.Feeling fearful, I was ready to call the police. Then, I realized that it was him.“It’s me.”He looked a lot skinnier. His clothes were messy, and he seemed tired and sloppy.“I finally found you.”He stared at me with teary eyes.“Why did you leave without listening to me? I’ve been looking everywhere for yo

They asked the landlord and finally discovered that, except for some pots and pans in the kitchen, everything else in the apartment belonged to the landlord.When I heard that, I was so happy.They got exactly what they deserved.After I finished registering for graduate school, I started working with my professor on a tech research project.In my past life, I never had the chance to do something great. So, this time, I did not want to waste any time.Apart from eating and sleeping, I spent all my time in the lab or out doing fieldwork.The next time I saw Orion, I did not expect it to be at the school clinic.I had been working too hard for days and felt dizzy. But as soon as I saw him, I wanted to run.Orion quickly set aside what he was doing and chased after me.“Don’t go, please! “I’ve always known you were here, but I didn’t want to bother you. “I just hoped that if you ever needed help, I could be there.”He sounded sincere, but it put me off.I tried to pull my h

Before the IV drip finished running, I texted my classmates. I told them that I had called in sick and gone to the hospital.Unexpectedly, all of them rushed over to see me.They arrived and pushed Orion out of the way. Then, they crowded around me and asked how I was doing.I smiled and said, “I’m fine.“Someone brought me here.”That was when they glanced at Orion. But none of them smiled or greeted him. They just looked away soon after.“So, that’s the crazy ex you told us about?”“Ugh, he totally looks like a jerk. Guys like him never end up happy.”Orion got mad and tried to defend himself. But everyone kept shutting him down with more words.Seeing them all take my side made me feel warm inside.In my past life, I worked hard, but I would always be left out.Even the way I died was embarrassing.Suddenly, I started crying.One of my classmates noticed and got angry. He grabbed Orion by the collar and asked if he had hurt me.I did not say anything, but that was as g
