Last night I received notice that the Family was cutting me loose. The explanation was flimsy: my thinking was outdated, I refused to modernize, and I was seriously obstructing the Family's expansion. That morning, my fiance stopped me in the corridor, his expression icy. "Kelly was right. Someone as stubborn and inflexible as you only holds the Family back. "And don't blame me for cutting you. You offended someone you shouldn't have." Kelly leaned against the railing, surrounded by her men, and watched me with a smug smile. She was the Don's own niece. Two weeks earlier, she had been parachuted in to take over the Family's core operations, using reform as an excuse to purge every elder. At the Family meeting yesterday, I rejected her reckless expansion plan in front of everyone. Kelly shot me a cold glance from the crowd, contempt sharpening her voice. "Certain old relics who can't move with the times outlived their usefulness long ago. Clinging to power only drags the whole Family down. "If you know what's good for you, get out." My expression remained unreadable. Without a word, I signed the papers withdrawing from the Family. What she didn't know was that I had never needed to stay in this Family. Someone had begged me to stay and hold it together. Then I posted on Instagram. "I have left the Family. I look forward to seeing what comes next." The moment the post went live, the entire underworld erupted.

I’m painfully shy, so the only kind of relationship I ever dared have was an online one. The day I was brought back to my wealthy birth family, the fake heiress burst into tears and said she wanted to give my engagement back. I waved both hands immediately. “No, no. I already have a boyfriend.” The second I said it, lines of text suddenly floated in front of my eyes: [LOL, the evil supporting character is rejecting it so fast now, but just wait—once she sees the male lead, she’ll regret it.] [The male lead only loves the fake heiress. She’s going to use their chat logs to cling to him and make a scene.] [In the end, the heroine gets driven into depression and slits her wrist. The male lead hates her so much he has her beaten, crippled, and locked away in a psychiatric hospital.] What a joke. I’m so socially anxious I can barely talk to strangers. Why would I ever chase after some random man? Then footsteps sounded outside the door. The fake heiress ran over with red-rimmed eyes. “Ethan, this is my sister—your original fiancée.” I turned around and came face-to-face with someone I knew all too well. It was Ethan Pierce, the man I’d been in an online relationship with for six years.

My sister and I were both reborn on the day we were adopted. In our first life, she fought to be chosen by the wealthy Blackwood family, convinced she was about to become a spoiled heiress. I was adopted by a working-class couple instead. I survived on scholarships and part-time jobs, put myself through college, and eventually married the Blackwood heir—the same man who had always hated her. Three days after my wedding, my sister ran me down with her car. So when we got a second chance, she immediately chose the family that had adopted me before. She thought that if she copied my poverty, my hard work, and every hardship I had endured, Adrian Blackwood would fall for her the way he had once fallen for me. And I would be left to suffer the coldness and cruelty she had endured in the Blackwood family. She was half right. Adrian hated me from the moment we met. He stood by while his friends shoved my face into a sink, then turned around and draped his coat over my sister’s shoulders. She looked at me and smiled. She thought everything was unfolding exactly as it had before. But she had forgotten one thing. She could take the place I once stood in. She could never take what it had cost me to get there.
