Chapter 1

I'm back to that night I was drugged with an aphrodisiac.

My sister, Rosa Spencer, drags the most aggressive guy in the village, Theo Dawson, into the woods without hesitation.

In my previous life, both Rosa and I had been drugged at the same time. She jumped at the chance to be with the promising young intellectual, Dexter Newman, and I was stuck with Theo.

After what happened, Dexter took responsibility without a second thought. He threw a huge wedding in the village and married Rosa.

Meanwhile, I ended up marrying Theo in a rush, with nothing but a tattered quilt.

Seeing this, Rosa burst into laughter. "You were born unlucky, and you'll never beat me! My husband's going to college. His future's limitless!"

Yet, to my surprise, Theo changed completely after we married. He spoiled me endlessly and even became the richest man in the state.

Dexter, on the other hand, failed his college entrance exam due to cheating and could only make a living by doing odd jobs.

After seeing me become the wife of the richest man in the state, Rosa suddenly ran to my house in tears. "My husband's a total loser. Years have gone by, and we can't even afford a decent apartment!"

Out of sisterly sympathy, I landed her a well-paying job.

But when she came to thank me, she smashed a whiskey bottle over my head. "We're sisters! How come you get to live better than me?"

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that very night Rosa and I were both drugged with an aphrodisiac.

"Theo, get over here!"

I looked up to see my sister, Rosa Spencer, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she dragged a scrawny guy into the woods.

Before disappearing among the trees, she shot me a taunting grin as if to say, "Hazel, I'm the one marrying the richest man this time! Good luck sticking with that useless Dexter for the rest of your miserable life!"

Soon, the woods were filled with lewd gasps and moans.

As I watched the man beside me, his cheeks flushing and sultry moans escaping his throat, it finally dawned on me that I had been reborn.

In my previous life, Rosa had been head over heels for Dexter Newman, the most talented young man in the village. Everyone said he was destined to get into the best college and make a name for himself.

After relentlessly pursuing him for a long time with zero success, she decided to force things to happen.

She was afraid of getting scolded afterward, so she drugged me as well and handed me over to Theo Dawson, the most aggressive guy in our village.

With me as the contrast, all the village gossip naturally focused on me, painting me as shameless and lacking self-respect.

After that, Dexter gave Rosa lavish wedding gifts, along with one thousand dollars. Our parents, Nelson Spencer and Nicole Leon, even gifted her a full set of redwood furniture and had her marry in style.

Rosa became the talk of the village, with people praising her endlessly. After all, everyone knew that Dexter was guaranteed to go to college and was destined for greatness.

As for me, I ended up marrying Theo. I went to his empty house with nothing but a single worn-out quilt.

Seeing my pitiful state, Rosa laughed heartily. "You're just born unlucky. You'll never match up to me! I'm meant to be on top, while you'll spend your whole life stuck here as a nobody!"

But in just a few short years, the tables turned dramatically.

After marrying me, Theo shed his rough image as a village thug. He pampered me, built a business empire in Brindleton, and eventually became the richest man around.

Meanwhile, Dexter, once lauded as a future star, got caught cheating during his college entrance exam and had his academic future wiped out. He only managed to survive by doing odd jobs at Theo's factory in the village.

The contrast was staggering. Rosa ran to me, crying about her miserable fate. Out of goodwill, I gave her a cushy job.

But when she came to thank me, she pulled out a whiskey bottle and smashed it over my head, killing me instantly.

So in this new life, she went straight for Theo, the future billionaire, and left me with the useless Dexter.

Hearing the loud, passionate sounds coming from the woods, I could barely keep myself from laughing.

Between someone guaranteed to go to college and a wildly unpredictable, aggressive guy, any fool would know whom to choose.

I couldn't wait to see Rosa's reaction when she realized that she had wasted her efforts on nothing.
