Exchanged Fates, Twisted Souls

In my past life, my parents died in a car accident. My twin brother was adopted by the wealthiest family in the capital. At the same time, I was taken in by a nouveau riche couple. The rich family's daughter was a yandere. My brother became her plaything, tormented until he was unrecognizable, left crippled for life. Meanwhile, under the careful grooming of my adoptive parents, I entered the entertainment industry and became a rising star. Consumed by jealousy and hatred, my brother set me on fire, burning me alive.

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day we were both up for adoption. This time, my brother was quicker. He threw himself at the nouveau riche couple, calling them "Mom" and "Dad."

He had no idea. No matter how cruel that billionaire's daughter was, she was still just a fifteen-year-old lunatic. However, these nouveau riche were shrewd people who had clawed their way up from the bottom and had many tricks up their sleeves. There was no way a fool like him could handle them. In the end, my brother walked the path of self-destruction."

I, on the other hand, successfully won over the lunatic sister. She pinned me against the wall and whispered, "Little brother, you're being naughty. Looks like I'll have to punish you."

——

"Uncle, Auntie! Please choose me! I'll be good! I'll listen to everything you say!" My twin brother, Damian, ran up to the nouveau riche couple, his voice sweet and obedient.

They hesitated, whispering among themselves. "They're both ten and they look nearly identical. Which one should we pick?"

When my brother heard that, he quickly tried to sell himself. "Uncle, Auntie, pick me! I'll repay your kindness!"

Watching his anxious expression, I immediately understood he had been reborn, just like me. In our past lives, the couple struggled to decide between us. Then, the billionaire arrived with his daughter, Carmen.

The moment my brother heard the man was a billionaire and saw the beautiful girl standing beside him, he made his choice without hesitation. I ended up with the nouveau riche couple instead. However, he never expected fifteen-year-old Carmen to be a psychotic yandere. The wealthy man was always busy with work and rarely home, leaving my brother at her mercy. In the end, he was disfigured and crippled, confined to a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, the nouveau riche meticulously groomed me, turning me into a talented and handsome young man. They even spent a fortune to pull strings and get me into the entertainment industry. In just two years, I became a rising star. But behind the glamorous facade lay a dark abyss, a memory I didn't want to revisit.

When I saw the couple sizing me up, my heart skipped a beat. I quickly pulled out a photo of my deceased parents and started to cry. "Sniff! Mom and Dad, I miss you so much! No one can ever replace you in my heart."

The couple's expressions changed. The woman pointed at my brother and whispered, "This one seems ungrateful. We'll take him!"

My brother's face lit up and he knelt down. "Mom, Dad! I'll be a good boy and listen to you!"

At that moment, the orphanage director arrived with the wealthy man from the capital. The rich man looked pleased to see me crying in my parents' photo. He thought I was sentimental and immediately decided to adopt me.

My brother gave me a malicious smile. "Bro, I envy you. You're going to have a rich dad and a pretty sister!"

Then, he turned to Carmen and said, "Hey, my brother will be family now. You have to take good care of him!"

He emphasized the word "care" with a sinister undertone. Carmen ignored him, her eyes on me filled with amusement. My brother gave me one last look, a look of someone seeing a dead man, then left with the nouveau riche without looking back. Watching their backs, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother, congratulations on taking my place in hell.
