Chapter 1

Ashton Ford ran an impatient hand through his hair when he saw me still lying motionlessly on the bed. He lit a cigarette as he strode over to me. He then leaned down and caged me between his arms.I coughed violently when he blew a mouthful of smoke in my face. Unable to hold myself back, I slapped him hard across the face. "Do you have a death wish, Ashton?"Ashton's cheek immediately reddened. However, he didn't seem to be angered at all. Instead, he licked his lips and grasped my chin."I admit that you look a lot like Elizabeth, but at the end of the day, you're not her. Take the money and leave. Don't try to curry favor with me again. Sunny will get angry."Ashton's statement seemed to excite whoever was sending the comments."Look at how Ashton's protecting his wife! I love their dynamic so much—a delicate woman who's like the sun, and a cold and ruthless man. Who wouldn't love a couple like that?""Am I the only one who thinks that this woman is actually Elizabeth reborn?

My head was still hurting when I snapped out of my thoughts. I was able to more or less piece together the big picture after reading the comments.Five years had passed since I passed away.Three years ago, Sunny Olson appeared like a ray of sunlight, illuminating Ashton's life. After getting to know each other for two years, Ashton finally let go of his feelings for me and became Sunny's boyfriend. They were scheduled to get married in the next three days.So, why did I suddenly come back to life? Why did the comment say that I need to save Ashton?I had no idea what was going on. I was lost in my thoughts as I walked, and I found myself standing before my company building when I snapped back to my senses. I wondered who took charge of my company after I passed away, hoping it wasn't my useless brothers.I decided to head inside to take a look. I had poured my blood, sweat, and tears into the company and wasn't willing to give up on it so easily.When I entered, I saw a large gr

"Who wouldn't want a Daddy-type boyfriend like Mr. Ford? Sunny's so lucky. I wish I could exchange places with her.""Am I the only one who feels bad for Elizabeth? The company she worked so hard to build up is being used as a flirting tool.""Stop spouting nonsense, you Elizabeth-lover. Can't you just enjoy how sweet Ashton and Sunny are right now?"The auction kicked off while I was busy reading the comments.25% of the company's shares were up for auction, but the starting price was only one dollar. Everyone tripped over themselves to call out a price, worried that someone else would snatch up such an excellent deal from right under their noses.Meanwhile, Ashton remained cool and composed until the end, when no one else was willing to call out a higher price.The auctioneer had already struck the gavel twice. Just as I was about to hold up my sign, Ashton's voice reverberated around the room."Two billion."Sunny's face twisted upon hearing his words. The highest price had

I looked at The System helplessly. "Who else could I be? The fake Elizabeth Miller?"The System seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown. "Didn't you die? How did you come back to life? What did Ashton do? Things aren't supposed to play out like this!'I rubbed my ear impatiently. "Since both you and Sunny were brought into this world, there's no way Ashton and I will just sit around and do nothing like lambs being led to the slaughter."The comments came flooding in."What happened? Why is Sunny vomiting blood? Did someone poison her?""Why doesn't Ashton look panicked at all? I thought Sunny was the person he loved the most.""No! My favorite couple can't end up with a bad ending."I frowned and looked at Sunny, who was a short distance away. She was sitting on the floor, and her pure white wedding dress had been stained with fresh blood. She was holding a hand to her mouth while staring at me in disbelief.It was obvious that she had heard the conversation between me and The

The World's Will didn't expect that a sliver of Ashton's consciousness would continue to exist within his heart, fighting back against its influence. It was why Sunny could never complete the mission despite the many years that had passed."Good job, Ashton. As expected of my partner," I said, reaching out to him.Ashton held my hand as if it were the most natural thing in the world and pressed it to his face. "Am I just a partner to you? When did you realize that my consciousness was being manipulated, Liz?"I looked at him resolutely. "From the moment I woke up and saw you. I knew that you weren't the Ashton I knew. The Ashton I know would never say something so cringey."I rolled my eyes. I had been nearly overwhelmed with the urge to knock Ashton out at that time, but I had ultimately curbed the impulse.Different comments began to fill my vision."Why does Elizabeth sound like she's talking about disciplining her dog? Is this how we're supposed to do it?""I don't know abou

The World's Will scoffed. "Sunny's just a fictional character. She was created solely to be a vessel for me to use."I lowered my eyes and rolled my wrists. "I initially thought that I would hate Sunny and The System. I didn't expect to end up hating someone with a twisted view like you. You created her, but you didn't let her think for herself or grow as a character."The World's Will sneered. "I already told you that all of you are fictional. None of you needs to think for yourselves."I raised my fist and swung it at The World's Will. But in the next second, I suddenly found myself falling through an empty void. I felt like I was drowning, my consciousness turning hazy with each passing second.My ears were filled with a cacophony of noises.I could hear The World's Will laughing mockingly. "Elizabeth, you can't win against me. I'm the creator of this world."I could also hear Ashton calling out to me. "Wait for me, Elizabeth! I'll look for you. Make sure you don't forget me!"

That night, Leon and I were cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. The male lead had just saved the female lead, jumping in front of her and taking the blow in her stead.Leon wrapped an arm around my shoulder and murmured, "I'll protect you like that in the future as well."As I leaned against his chest, I suddenly felt as if my consciousness had been yanked out of my body. I couldn't control myself as I said, "Ashton…"Both Leon and I were stunned the moment the name left my lips."Ashton?"I repeated the name over and over again."Who's Ashton?"My heart was hammering wildly against my ribcage. Why would I say this name? It was like a key that inserted itself into the lock of my memories, but it refused to unlock, no matter how much it turned.My temples throbbed as excruciating pain exploded across my head. I shook my head, tears streaming uncontrollably down my face."I feel like I know and don't know him at the same time. My head hurts so much… but I can't remember…

A face that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared on the screen. The man in the photo was wearing a tailored suit. He had sharp features, but there was a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.I felt like I had seen him before, but at the same time, I felt like I had never seen him in my life. But there was one thing that I was certain of—Leon had lied to me.I continued to look through the information I had gathered.Ashton was the president of Ford Group. The company had been public-listed for three years, and its market value had risen tenfold. He was a rising star in the business industry.However, what surprised me the most was how Ashton and his girlfriend, Sunny, were about to host their own wedding ceremony.It was as if a needle had pierced my brain when I read Sunny's name. My temples began to throb painfully. I gripped the table and waited for the pain to pass as more broken fragments of my memories flashed through my mind.I felt like I knew Sunny, which made me wo

Perhaps Leon had always been pretending since the beginning.I freed my wrist from his grasp and whirled around, running toward the other end of the hallway—Ashton should be there.Gasps of surprise and the sounds of thundering footsteps resounded from behind me. When I glanced behind me, I noticed that the guests' faces had twisted into blurry messes, looking as if they were made of photos that were forcefully pieced together.Cracks began to form on the walls while bricks ripped themselves out from the floor.The entire world was collapsing.Suddenly, all the lights in the hotel were extinguished. I could hear my own footsteps and labored breathing in the darkness. I ran forward while stumbling over my feet. There was a heavy weight pressing down on my chest, and a sweet, metallic taste surged up my throat.My legs gave out, turning to jelly. Just as I was about to stagger to the floor, a pair of firm hands gripped me and kept me on my feet.A familiar scent of cedar permeated

The face I was looking at was identical to Sunny's face when she was being controlled by The World's Will. The difference was that her eyes were shining with a youthful determination."Welcome," I said while smiling at her. "Keep up the good work."Sunny's face reddened as she nodded vigorously. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into the doorframe.A smile curved my lips upward as I watched her retreating back. This was what Sunny's life was supposed to be like. Free from The System's control, she was just an ordinary girl who worked hard to chase after her dreams.Her personality was just like her name—warm and bright like the sun.The comments suddenly appeared before me again. However, instead of being arguments that were filled with malice, everyone was giving me their blessings."I finally got to witness a normal married life. My teeth are rotting from the sweetness.""Ms. Miller and Mr. Ford are a match made in heaven. The rivals-to-lovers trope is just too g
