“Grace, I made some mushroom soup. Take a break and have some, okay?
“You’ve lost weight.”
Samson placed the soup on my desk and even cut up some fruit for me.
I was so startled that I almost fell off my chair.
Just then, Antonio pushed the door open and walked in.
He placed a food container on my desk.
“I heard you haven’t been eating much. I made this cake myself. Give it a try.”
I had heard these exact words before.
In my past life, I thought I was the happiest person in the world.
Samson, seven years older than me, had always treated me like the family’s little princess.
Antonio, though not related to me by blood, had been by my side since childhood. We were as close as family.
But now, after being reborn, all I felt was an icy chill spreading through my body.
Back then, during the SAT, my essay was identical to Vivian’s.

The moment the teacher discovered it, she reported it immediately.
With my grades, I had a real chance to get a full score on the
SAT.
But after that incident, rumors exploded everywhere.
I turned to Samson, my proctor, and Antonio, my classmate, hoping they would testify that I hadn’t cheated.
But they said no.
Samson even apologized on my behalf, begging the school to give me a second chance since it was my first offense.
It sparked intense debate among netizens.
“No wonder she dared to cheat–her brother is the proctor!”
“People like her should be banned from taking the SAT forever! Don’t let her harm other people.”
“And she wants to be forgiven? Not a chance!”
Under pressure from the public, the school leaders rejected Samson’s request.
Soon, the SAT results came out.
I, once the school’s top student, scored only 500.
And the biggest shock? Vivian, who had always been at the bottom of the class, got a full score.
Her essay was regarded as an exemplary piece, and praised by teachers and classmates.

Just like that, she became MIT’s freshman representative.
And I became the rat that everyone despised.
I was permanently banned from taking the SAT. The school refused to grant me a high school diploma.
Without it, I had no choice but to work as a delivery girl.
But the customer poured takeout food over my head and complained about me.
My parents were fired because of me, became sick, and ended up in the hospital.
To pay for their medical bills, I took a job as a courier.
But within days, my boss recognized me.
He didn’t pay me, and he also fired me on the spot.
I lost hope of living.
On a snowy night, I jumped into the river in despair.
To my surprise, when I opened my eyes, I was back to the week before the SAT.
Now, looking at Samson, who was carefully preparing soup for me, and Antonio, who was eagerly concerned about me, I suddenly had mixed feelings.
