Chapter 1

I was reborn on the day Justin Meyer was adopted into my family. I hadn't expected fate to give me another chance.Justin was the son of my dad Herbert Meyer's childhood friend, and he was also a famous child prodigy in our city, Jenton. Unfortunately, both his parents died in a car accident, and by the time the crash site was discovered, Justin had already been abducted.Dad put a lot of effort into finding Justin and getting him back. Heartbroken that he'd suffered so much at such a young age, Dad decided to bring him home and treat him like his own son.My mom, Aileen Wagner, wrapped her arms around him and cried the moment she saw him. "You poor child. You must've suffered."My sister, Tiana Meyer, also wiped her tears.Only I looked at Justin with a distant expression. After all, I knew how wicked he truly was beneath his obedient facade.Mom quickly asked Justin to sit down and rest, but he turned red and said in a quiet voice, "I'm dirty. I might ruin your couch."Justin'

Justin's room wasn't ready yet, so my parents told him to share a room with me for the time being.The thought of breathing the same air as a scumbag like him disgusted me, so I packed my things, wanting to camp in the living room for the night.Justin followed me into the room, sweeping all my neatly arranged textbooks and school supplies onto the floor, then placing his own backpack on my desk.Unlike in my past life, I remained cold and unbothered. My attitude made Justin drop the act immediately. "Why does a nobody like you get to have such a loving family, while a genius like me has to suffer so much? Just you wait. This family will belong to me someday!"I continued packing without even looking at him. "I don't care that much about them. If you want them, take them. You're only good enough for whatever I don't want."Justin's chest heaved with anger, but he quickly calmed down. A sinister look flashed across his face. "You won't be so smug for much longer."He ripped the st

Chapter 3

Ever since Justin moved in with us, my relationship with my parents and Tiana had worsened, but I didn't care.I usually spent my time in the school library after school, studying middle and high school material ahead of time. With my current academic level, I could easily skip grades and go straight to high school, but I had other plans.After Justin transferred into my class in my past life, he won award after award and became the school's most popular student. Everyone, including the teachers, loved him. My parents and Tiana treated him like a precious treasure, while I was invisible, nothing more than Justin's shadow.Now, I would snatch every award and every first place from him and trample him under my feet!A few months later, my birthday came around. My parents decided to throw me a big birthday party to make things less awkward between us. More than that, they wanted me to finally accept Justin.I came home from school to find the table covered with a lavish spread. But w

My injuries were a little worse than I'd expected because my skin was still fragile at this age.John patiently popped my blisters, applied antibiotic ointment, and wrapped them in gauze. Throughout the process, he kept reassuring me and telling me how brave I was.Even though I was mentally an adult, I still felt a little comforted by his kindness. It had been a long time since I'd last felt any warmth from another person.After John was done, he insisted on sending me home.When we reached the house, I realized my family had already returned home with Justin. He was sitting in the middle as they crowded around him, protecting him from all sides.When they saw me, they didn't even show the slightest hint of guilt. Their eyes were filled with nothing but blame.Dad frowned, his voice stern. "Oh, so you do know this is your home, huh? Where did you run off to so late at night?"Mom stared at me, her eyes filled with disappointment and reproach. "I don't mind your usual mischief,

I just glanced at Justin before grabbing my stuff and heading to the library. I wasn't interested in talking big. I wanted to beat him once and for all.To my surprise, this actually won me some favor with the girls in my class. Girls this age seemed to prefer the mature, level-headed type. They gathered their own textbooks and even asked the math teacher for help, hand-copying a book of math competition problems for me.Then the class representative, Jemima Walker, personally handed it to me.Although I didn't really need problems this easy, I gladly accepted them because I remembered that Justin had always liked her.In my past life, Jemima and Justin had attended the same schools from elementary school through college. Justin was a math genius, but Jemima was even better than him overall. He pursued her relentlessly, but Jemima never gave him the time of day.She was a perceptive girl. She must have seen the dark, vicious heart hidden beneath Justin's gentle, refined facade.W

Chapter 6

Just like the Meyer family, most of my teachers and classmates thought I'd lucked out this time and that when the next competition came around, Justin would still be in first place.Justin didn't let his guard down this time. He stopped wasting time messing around with his lackeys and spent a lot more time on math competitions than before.But the extra effort he put in was nothing compared to the almost nonstop studying I'd done over the past year.The second competition I signed up for had more participants and a wider range of problems, and it was also more challenging. On top of that, middle school students were also allowed to participate. Anyone who placed could practically guarantee themselves a spot at the best school in the state.A few days before the competition, Justin stayed up late studying every night, and my parents couldn't stop worrying about him. They bought him a special lamp to protect his eyes, afraid he'd damage them from studying too long. They also worried

Chapter 7

I turned and left without taking a single thing from Meyer Manor. I'd already prepared a set of essentials at John's house.The next day, John accompanied me to Aether Middle School to complete my enrollment and help me apply for a dorm room.Since I no longer needed to take the graduation exams, I never went back to my old elementary school.Jemima occasionally filled me in on what was happening in class. Justin seemed to be going around badmouthing me, but not many people believed him.After the graduation exams, Jemima got into Aether Middle School without a problem, while Justin underperformed and ended up at a fairly average middle school. I heard he'd even cheated during the exams. If my parents hadn't pulled every string they could, he might not have even graduated.Once I entered Aether Middle School, I stopped holding back. Within just a year, I skipped ahead to eighth grade and still found time to compete in various math competitions.The Meyer family never bothered wit

Chapter 8

After that, I entered all kinds of competitions, not just math. With Jemima's help, I also entered writing competitions and placed in a few.I'd skipped so many grades that I became the youngest graduate in my school's history. With all the awards I'd won, the best colleges in the country had already begun reaching out to me.I'd already planned out my future. I wanted to become a doctor like John. He'd graduated from the best medical school, but after being treated unfairly, he'd ended up working at a local clinic.When he found out that I wanted to go to medical school, we spent the entire night drinking, with me drinking tea instead of alcohol.John's face was bright red. He patted me hard on the back with his calloused hand. "Becoming a doctor isn't easy, but I believe you can do it. The youngest college student in history! That sure makes me proud to be your godfather."The day I started college, Jemima and John came to see me off. I squeezed Jemima's hand. "I'll wait for you

Chapter 9

After graduation, I began my internship under the university's most senior professor. At the same time, I teamed up with the friends I'd made in college to launch our own startup platform.Jemima joined us too. Whenever I was too busy with my hospital work to keep up with the platform, she made time to help manage it.A few years later, I became the hospital's youngest attending physician. Patients from all over the country flocked to see me, often traveling long distances.Meanwhile, Jemima focused on growing the platform. Its sleek design and smooth user experience made it a hit with young people. Even if we stayed home doing absolutely nothing all day, the dividends from our shares alone would be enough to fund a lavish lifestyle.With Jemima's and my encouragement, John finally closed his clinic. He spent his days playing chess and dancing at the park, enjoying the kind of retirement every older person would envy.As for the Meyer family, since I was legally responsible for su
