Chapter 1

The sound of ripping rang out.I watched as the fabric over my shoulder split open, revealing a fresh crimson gash across my smooth skin.Only then did the reality of being reborn truly sink in.I didn't even bother putting on my shoes before immediately running to the edge of the field. Sure enough, I saw Derek Lane carrying a pole on his shoulder that was loaded with buckets of manure.The pain in my shoulder grew worse. I bit my lower lip hard, unable to make sense of it at all.Even after being given a second chance at life, nothing had changed. Every injury Derek suffered while working was still transferred to my body.My dad, George Zyrus, snatched the pole out of Derek's hands and shoved it into mine. "What kind of older brother are you? Derek has a cold, and you're still making him do farm work."In my previous life, the lazy, good-for-nothing Derek was always claiming he had a headache or a cold every now and then. He stayed in bed every day and refused to work.Dad fo

I stared at Derek without blinking, trying to spot anything unusual in his expression.Alas, he gave away nothing. He immediately nodded in agreement, turned around, and left without the slightest hesitation.Dad kept nagging beside us, repeating the same old speech over and over. He insisted that since I was the older brother, I should help Derek out and do more of the work.His words went in one ear and out the other.What truly struck me as strange was Derek's attitude. Would he really let me off that easily?Sure enough, a piercing pain shot through my palm and the web between my thumb and index finger the very next second.It was Derek.I immediately dropped the shoulder pole and went looking for him.Just then, I saw a crowd gathered by the edge of the field. They chattered noisily among themselves."Derek is working way too hard. It's so hot that none of us even dares to go into the fields, but he's out there anyway.""Exactly. He's not even wearing gloves. He's grabbi

Derek wasn't afraid in the slightest. He threw his head back and laughed."Isaac, there's nothing you can do to me!"I glared at him. If looks could kill, he would've already been cut into a thousand pieces.His expression darkened. "I don't like the way you're looking at me."Before I could even react, he slapped himself hard across the face. My own cheek instantly burned with pain, and I reflexively let go of his collar.He jeered, "You'll never escape me, Isaac. Get on your knees and apologize. Say you're a worthless mutt. Maybe then I'll let you off."I clenched my fists tightly.I couldn't die here. The first national college entrance examination would be held the very next day. It was my only chance.My maternal grandparents had been falsely accused, and they were still waiting for me to clear their names. I had to get back to the city.Lowering my head to hide the reluctance in my eyes, I dropped to my knees before Derek. My legs, which had stood straight and proud my e

But when the blade came down, it hit nothing.The bed was empty!My first instinct was to run. But right at that moment, Derek burst through the doorway with a crowd of people behind him.He said evenly, "I told you all Isaac had gone crazy, but none of you believed me. I've finally recovered enough to do farm work again lately, but he keeps insisting that all my injuries get transferred onto him."Today, he secretly went to take the college entrance exam without telling anyone. He didn't do well, so he was definitely coming back to take it out on me. Luckily, I warned everyone ahead of time. Otherwise, who knows how he would've framed me next?"Derek wiped away tears that didn't even exist. But when no one was looking, he shot me a smug, provocative smile.Soon, several burly men stepped forward and pinned me down. Amid the chaos, I felt someone grope my butt. My face flushed red with anger and humiliation.Dad was so furious that he slapped me across the face. "Isaac, I though

After learning that earth-shattering secret, I immediately carried Mom back home.I wasn't going to die in this lifetime. On top of that, I was going to make Derek pay for everything he'd done.The next morning, I got up early to work and greeted everyone I passed along the way. However, the women I usually chatted with ignored me completely.I sighed and wiped away tears that weren't really there.Then, I said in a miserable voice, "Ladies, you all know how it is. When you have a stepmother, you end up with a stepfather too. Don't let my dad fool you into thinking he treats me well. He doesn't like me at all."I wasn't actually crazy before. My dad forced me into all of it. He said that if I didn't run naked through the village, he'd strip my mom naked and leave her at the village entrance for a whole day for everyone to stare at."I'm just a young man in my early 20s. How could I possibly defy him? In the end, Mom and I had no other choice. So, I ended up taking off my clothes

But I simply shrugged and looked at Derek innocently.I said, "Derek, if you're strong enough to carry four buckets of manure, that just proves how capable you are. You don't need to ask me. I approve."Upon hearing that, his expression changed. Cursing under his breath, he hoisted up the shoulder pole.The very next second, he and the buckets toppled headfirst into the manure pit because he was unable to bear the weight. His mouth and nose were instantly submerged in filth."Help! Ugh… Isaac, save me!" Derek cried.I hurriedly stepped back. Good thing I was quick, or the splashing filth would've gotten all over me.Everyone gathered to watch the spectacle, but not a single person was willing to lend a hand.In the end, Dad, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, reached out a bamboo pole to drag Derek out."So they really do have a special relationship. That's true love. He doesn't even mind that he's covered head to toe in crap," an onlooker said.But in reality, s

I stood in the doorway with a sneer. Those words sounded awfully familiar.In my previous life, when Derek's transferred injuries had tortured me to the point where I wished I were dead, Dad had said the exact same things.He had even threatened me with Mom. He had said that if I refused to keep working, he'd carry her deep into the mountains and leave her there to fend for herself. I couldn't stay by Mom's side every second of every day, so all I could do was endure the pain and keep working little by little.In this lifetime, I was going to make Derek experience that same despair.As for Dad… The more he cared about getting something, the more determined I was to take it away from him.That evening, I didn't slack off. I went right back out to work. Since I wouldn't get tired anyway, earning more work points would make life easier for Mom and me in the future.But I hadn't expected to run into Derek by the edge of the field.Dad had forced him to carry manure. This time, ins

Chapter 8

Sue was so furious that she started slapping Dad across the face without mercy.A woman who had spent her life doing farm work was no weaker than a man, so after only two slaps, several of Dad's teeth had already been knocked out.Sue howled, "You beast! When I married you, Derek was only a teenager. You practically watched him grow up. How could you lay a hand on him like that? And you're both men! You're going to wipe out our family line!"She cursed him relentlessly as she beat him. Dad was so dazed from the beating that he had no idea what she was talking about.It wasn't until Sue grabbed a cleaver and tried to chop off his manhood that he scrambled to his feet in terror and bolted for the door. He didn't even make it outside before she caught him and ripped his pants off.Dad's face turned deathly pale. He didn't even care that he was completely naked anymore. He just ran. Sue chased him all the way through the village with the cleaver in her hand.During the chase, his c
