Chapter 1

I instinctively stroked the scar on my neck, it was the mark left after the System repaired me for the fourth time.At that moment, the assistant set the coffee lightly on the desk.“Mr. Greenwood, the cross-border acquisition case was successfully completed.”The sound of porcelain hitting marble made my fingertips tremble.A business partner teased Ben Greenwood, “Mr. Greenwood, you have both a talented consultant and a beautiful secretary. You always get the good-looking girls, you lucky brat.”He bumped Ben’s shoulder, but was cut off by Ben’s icy gaze.Ben shot me a sidelong glance, his eyes as cold as frost.“You like Jennifer? Want me to introduce her to you so you can also taste what it feels like to be betrayed by family and watch your entire family fall?”In an instant, the business partner shut his mouth.Everyone in the company knew that the death of Ben’s first love, Mandy Somerfield, had something to do with me and the only reason he kept me by his side as his se

I hugged Ben.“Yes, I definitely can.”But in the end, I still had not been able to bring his first love back to life.When my thoughts returned, I promised Ben that I would think about it.But what he didn’t know was that I only had one wish left.I wanted to live, to see him every day.Or at least die for something that was worth it.Ben merely let out a cold sneer.“You’re just scared of the pain.”Bitterness welled up inside me, but I did not dare explain.Ben hated me even more than he hated my mother.“Jennifer, you said every wish came with conditions, so if you didn’t have to die, then did Mandy have to die instead? You talk about limits, but the truth is, you’re afraid of pain, afraid of death! Why should your wish be paid for with her life?”I shrank my neck, letting my oversized hoodie hide the wound on my neck that the System had yet to repair.‘No, Ben. I had almost sawed my neck off already. But the System’s bright red letters kept reminding me that a life th

Ben frowned. “Enough.”I thought he was going to speak up for me, but the next sentence was, “Get out. And don’t bother preparing breakfast anymore.”Riley immediately showed a triumphant smile.My hand froze for a moment, a sharp pain pierced my chest, and I turned to leave the office, but Riley followed me and blocked my way.“Jennifer, don’t you feel ashamed, trailing behind Mr. Greenwood like a little shadow every single day?”Her crimson nails suddenly clamped around my wrist, and the faint scar on her face came close to my eyes.“Do you know how disgusted I feel every time I see Ben staring at you in a daze? I’m clearly the one who looks most like her!”All the blood in my body instantly froze.Under Riley’s wine-red curls, her side profile indeed overlapped with the photo of Mandy on the gravestone.Riley suddenly yanked at her curled hair like a madwoman.“Why? I ruined my face for him, I went into the operating room to turn myself into Mandy, but his eyes are still o

When I opened my eyes again, everything in sight was white.I lowered my head and looked at the thick bandages on my left leg.I searched through my memories and realized that my last wish had not been used up.I let out a sigh.This was the situation I feared most.I had failed to die, the System had not fulfilled anything, and all that agony had been for nothing.I was still dazed when the doctor in a white coat walked up to me.I only came back to my senses when he spoke..“Your left leg suffered an explosive fracture, three ribs broke, and you have a mild concussion. Also, you’re malnourished, so you need a long period of proper rest, understood?”I came back to myself and smiled at the doctor.“Doctor, can I recover in three months? I need to attend an important company project.”The entire ward fell into a long silence.My smile slowly faded.The doctor finally forced himself to continue.“I’m very sorry to tell you... you won’t be able to do high-intensity work any

“Everything would get better.”I struggled to put on my formal clothes and lay down in the cold bathtub.I held my phone.The lock screen was still the childhood photo of me and Ben.I opened his WhatsApp, wanting to send him a message.But I discovered that he had blacklisted me.I smiled, turned on the faucet, and while waiting for the tub to fill, I chatted with the System.“I’m going to die again.”“Yes, Host. This is your last chance, but since all your wishes except the first were made for others, you are granted a special permission—this final wish has no restrictions. The last wish would definitely come true, but you yourself would not be able to revive again.” The System hesitated for a long time before speaking. “Host, I suggest you consider wishing to go to another world and start a new life, or perhaps—”It rambled on, truly caring about me.The bathtub had filled, I turned off the faucet, held the fruit knife, and without hesitation, slashed my wrist.Half my wr

Riley suddenly laughed again.“I grew tired. What was the use of having a man who never loved me? I can leave Jennifer alone, but she must get rid of the scar on my face! Otherwise, none of our agreements would count.”She hung up the phone.Ben took a deep breath.He stood there for a very, very long time, then dragged me out of his blacklist.“Jennifer, restore Riley’s scar. As for the past... we could talk about it.”I came back to my senses from their conversation and looked at that small line of text.It had always been my long-held wish to talk peacefully with Ben about what happened back then.But he would never again receive my reply.The company’s major project was approaching, and the discussions around Ben’s decisions were in full swing.He kept checking his phone during every short break, but I never replied.It wasn’t until he noticed the dust on the table growing thicker and thicker that he realized no one had been home at all—and so he stopped coming.Those t

“In order not to affect you, we had no choice but to keep it from you all this time.”“She had been resting well at my place, but a month ago... she suddenly disappeared...”Ben’s eyes widened slightly, and his always-cold face shattered inch by inch.He pulled out his phone and called frantically.But no one answered.Instead, another call with no caller ID came through.“Hello, do you know Jennifer?”He steadied his disordered breathing.“Yes. What happened?”“We received a report from the public. She committed suicide at home.”Ben didn’t even change his clothes.He rushed to my house as fast as he could.Police and neighbors crowded around the door.The stench could be smelled from miles away.He anxiously pushed through the crowd and entered, the moment he saw everything, he dropped to the ground.The entire bathtub full of blood instantly reddened his vision.He stared blankly at the slightly bloated corpse before him.Two streams of tears fell straight down.Hi

Third wish: I hoped Ben could forgive me.Cause of death: Suffocation.Fourth wish: I hoped Ben could be happy.Cause of death: Wrist slitting.These wishes all failed. The number of wishes was not refunded.Seeing this, Ben’s hands trembled violently.The fifth wish.It happened when Ben faced an important decision.His opponent had set him up, and after a wrong decision, a scandal broke out.He could not defend himself and was harshly condemned.There was no company glory, no future success.He was as fallen then as he was now.Everyone abandoned him.Everyone except me.On a sunny afternoon, I jumped off the company’s rooftop.I actually had a fear of heights.But I wanted to see Ben’s world.The ground below had been clean, the crowd bustling, as if everything were an illusion.In that illusion, I seemed to see Ben’s long-lost smile.When he was young, he made me a promise.He said his success would be our future.He asked me to wait.I waited for him for many y

Chapter 9

She knew that I liked Ben, and she only wanted me to taste the feeling of being abandoned by the one I loved.She stubbornly wanted to restore her scars, only because she wanted to smooth over those pains.She never intended for me to die.So she also did her best and used the last bit of mother-daughter affection she had with her own mother to exchange for the most crucial evidence.The villains were finally brought to justice.Ben spent a great deal of effort and finally found my mother.That haggard woman held a bundle of money in her arms.She hid in a shabby little room along the route I used to take to work.She kept murmuring under her breath.“Jenny likes working, she has to work hard, she can’t live without money.”“I have money now, I can—I can buy her good things, she has to work hard, I—I have to send her money.”I could no longer hold back and cried so hard that I lost my voice.After sending my mother to the psychiatric hospital, Ben sank into despair for a lo
