Chapter 1

It seemed that my mother was absolutely right. Gordon Frost, a wealthy heir, had fallen for my charms. He ravished me again and again.In the midst of our passion, he gifted me his unique cufflinks.“Darling, you’re one of a kind. Bring these when you come and find me, and I will give you the best of everything in the world.”I was not too excited about all that. At that moment, all I cared about was one thing. Had the curse of my previous timeline been broken because I had managed to lose my virginity just before my twentieth birthday?I rushed home and put on my skincare products.The thing that was nearly making me break down was how the age spots around my mother’s eyes once again appeared on my face. I thought back to the previous timeline, before I had come back in time. The more I used this skincare product, the darker my skin got. It got more blemished, and my face became more lined with wrinkles. Just recalling it sent a wave of hopelessness through me. Even thoug

Gordon’s post sparked a wave of lively discussion online.[A wealthy heir is looking for a woman online with a bracelet? This is just like a fairytale!][Emery Chase? What a pedestrian name! Hurry and save her from poverty!][Please! Please find her soon! With her name, it shouldn’t be hard to find her at all.]The trending headline online was:[Looking for Cinderella.]Soon, someone found a photo of me from my school days. [Wow, she’s gorgeous! It’s no wonder our golden boy can’t forget her!][I know her! She’s from my high school. Her house is just by Birch Road.][We found her! Someone tag Gordon quick!]My old photo was so full of youth. Then, I glanced at my rapidly aging face in the mirror and felt a wave of terror.In the end, I ran over to Harriet and asked tentatively, “Mom, why do you look younger while I look older? What skincare routine do you follow? Can’t you teach me?”Looking pleased, Harriet continued to apply her skincare products. When she heard my words

I locked myself in my room. I was too afraid to come out. Terrified, I realized that I was experiencing symptoms of early menopause. I had no choice but to rush to the nearest hospital. The doctor said that my ovaries were failing. She sounded apologetic as she said, “Your symptoms are unusual. You’re very young for this. We’ll need to run more tests to understand the cause.”I knew that this issue would not be solved by medical science. Someone had snapped a photo of Harriet and me picking up takeout and posted it online.[Do you all remember Emery Chase, the woman Gordon’s been looking for? This is what she looks like now.][Goodness, who’s that hag? Was there a mistake? Emery’s the other woman, right?]The photo went viral. Something inside me broke when I saw the two women side by side in the photo.I looked at the white hairs that had started to appear at my temples and the liver spots on the backs of my hands. I could not deal with it anymore. In a frenzy, I barged i

When I heard what she said, I felt afraid for some reason. In the previous timeline, after I ran away from home, the unnatural aging had accelerated, and I had died out there. Looking at myself in the mirror, I could not make sense of what was going on. If it were a trade or an exchange, it did not add up. Harriet was in her forties, so why did I look more than fifty years old?I hurried back to my room and locked the door. It was not the time to run away from home yet. But what shocked me even more was seeing Gordon post online that he had found the one meant for him and would soon host the wedding of the century.Netizens were all buzzing in excitement as they marveled at how quickly he had secured his love.But I had never even seen Gordon after that one night. Outside, I could hear Harriet talking sweetly with Warren. “I’m only going out with him for a bit to string him along. Do you really think Emery can hold his attention looking like that now? I’ll keep him in pl

I darted behind a burly bodyguard and glared at Warren. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’ve just been standing here doing nothing.”Warren yelled, “Then, what’s that on her face? Don’t you think for a moment that I won’t know that’s what you look like! What kind of horrible disease do you have? You even infected your mother!”I looked at him in disbelief. “I don’t have any disease. Even if I did, how could I have infected her when she’s so far away? Besides, I came with you. How is it that you’re unaffected?”Harriet sprinted down the stage and snatched a mirror from one of the guests. She kept rubbing at her face roughly. When she realized that she could not rub the spots off, she broke down and smashed the mirror. She ran toward me and grabbed me by the collar. She shrieked, “You wretched beast, what did you do?!”I spread my hands and looked at her innocently. “I really didn’t do anything!”Gordon had obviously run out of patience. Onstage, he said darkly, “What

I had been wearing this bangle for as long as I could remember.When I was very young, I had asked Harriet why I had to wear it and what it was for. Back then, Harriet had said that the bangle had been blessed with holy water and would protect me throughout my life. She told me to never take it off, or I would bring misfortune upon myself.I took her words to heart and never removed it.As I grew older, I could not take it off at all. I had gotten so used to its existence that it felt like a part of me. When I mysteriously started aging prematurely, I wondered if Harriet had given me some kind of cursed object. I could not leave the house, so I always suspected that the object was at home. When Harriet and Warren were away, I searched through the whole house but found nothing. I never considered that it might be on my own person. It was not until I saw the diamond bracelet on Harriet’s wrist that I remembered my bangle.It was the only thing that Harriet had ever give

Chapter 7

Harriet, Warren, and I all trudged back home. Once again, Harriet and Warren acted like they could not stand each other. Warren lay in bed all day and cursed at everything. He called Harriet an old hag and blamed her for his disability. Meanwhile, Harriet cursed at Warren for being useless. She blamed him for bringing me to the wedding that day. She would have been married to a rich man already if it were not for him. I was used to their constant bickering, so I closed the door and focused on my skincare routine.Strangely, every time I put on my products, the spots on Harriet’s face darkened, and more wrinkles appeared on her face. As for me, I did not become any younger. I still looked old and worn. Whenever Harriet saw me using skincare products, she would scream and rush over to snatch them.“Don’t use that, you little wretch! I forbid it!”She broke down and sobbed uncontrollably as she looked at her old and wrinkled face. That was not the end of it.I picked up

Chapter 8

I ignored him because Gordon had already sent a car for me. He said that he had found a way to resolve this issue. In my family’s hometown, which I had never been to, we found a diviner. The man was Mr. Cavill. He took the bangle and looked at it for a long time. Then, he sighed. “I know this bangle. It belonged to my master. Long ago, he delved into dark magic. “One day, a woman came in with a baby and asked for his help in divining her future. The woman said that she had given birth to a daughter, but her parents-in-law did not like her. She asked my master if this baby would be a lucky or unlucky addition to the family and whether she should keep the child.“My master divined her fate and put this cursed bangle on the baby. He said that the baby was fated to be a beauty and thus carried a certain energy with her. The bangle would ensure the baby’s survival until the age of twenty. From then on, that energy would fully belong to her.“If the child could maintain her purity

Chapter 9

Harriet’s appearance was only a small disruption in our wedding. It did not affect anything else. After everything was done, with netizens sending well wishes online, Gordon suddenly shut down the livestream. He picked up the microphone and spoke to the guests below the stage. “This is who I present to you today. As I said before, I’ve experienced her charms before. I can guarantee that she is as good as I say. She’s an experience, to say the least.“I’ve also had a diviner look at her fate. She is a born beauty who will bring luck to her husband. As such, the starting bid will be very high. We will start at one million dollars. The highest bidder can be the first to taste her charms.”I looked at Gordon in horror and stepped back.“What’s the meaning of this, Gordon? Isn’t this our wedding?”He looked at me as if I had just said something funny. “A wedding? Do you think someone like you could ever marry me? Wake up! You’re nothing but a product to me. The wedding was nothing b
