Chapter 1
Back to that night when we were drugged with aphrodisiacs, my sister Madison Blair decisively grabbed Victor Hastings, the town’s violent–tempered football player, and dragged him into the cornfield.
In my previous life, Madison and I were both drugged at the same time. She quickly chose Kevin Sinclair, the promising honor student, leaving me forced to settle for Victor.
Afterward, Kevin stepped up and took responsibility, hosting a grand wedding in town to marry Madison. Meanwhile, I could only have a hasty ceremony. Madison mocked me relentlessly: “You’ll never measure up to me! My husband is going to be a future Wall Street elite!”
I never expected that after marriage, Victor would completely change from his former hot–tempered self, showering me with love and affection. He later became a tech mogul and the richest man in town. Meanwhile, Kevin got caught cheating on his exams, was banned from testing for life, and could only survive doing odd jobs.
Seeing me become a wealthy wife, Madison suddenly showed up at my house crying: “My husband is worthless. After all these years, he can’t even afford to buy an apartment!”
Out of sisterly affection, I arranged a job for her with an annual salary of over a hundred thousand dollars. But on the day she

came to thank me, she killed me with a whiskey bottle.
“We’re sisters–why do you get to live better than me?”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that night when Madison and I were both drugged.
“Victor, come here!”
I watched as Madison, her face flushed with excitement, pulled a thin, weak man into the cornfield. Before leaving, she shot me a provocative glare.
“Emily, in this lifetime I’m going to live the rich life! You can stay poor with that loser Kevin forever!”
Soon, inappropriate sounds came from the cornfield. Looking at the man beside me with flushed cheeks and heavy breathing, I finally realized I had been reborn!
In my past life, Madison had fallen for Kevin at first sight when he came to town as an investment banking intern. After pursuing Kevin unsuccessfully for years, she decided to slip him an aphrodisiac. Afraid of being sued afterward, she drugged me too and pushed me toward Victor, the town’s notorious troublemaker.
With me as a comparison, the town gossip naturally focused on me. I became the slut everyone despised.

Afterward, Kevin not only gave Madison a diamond ring but also plenty of cash. Our parents even prepared wedding gifts to bless their marriage. For a while, Madison became the envy of everyone in town. After all, everyone knew Kevin was destined to be a financial elite.
Meanwhile, I could only clutch an old blanket as I married into Victor’s run–down apartment.
Seeing my miserable state, Madison said smugly: “You only deserve a life of poverty. I’m destined for high society, while you’ll be stuck in this small town forever!”
But within just a few years, everything changed dramatically. After marriage, Victor became like a different person–not only treating me with endless love but also successfully starting a business in New York, becoming a tech mogul. Meanwhile, the much–admired Kevin got caught cheating on his SATs, was banned from testing for life, and could only work as a temp in Victor’s factory.
The huge reversal drove Madison to cry at my doorstep. I kindly arranged a high–paying job for her. But when she came to thank me, she smashed my head with a bottle.
So in this life, she didn’t hesitate to choose Victor, who would become wealthy in the future, leaving me with Kevin, who was destined to fail.
Listening to the sounds coming from the cornfield, I almost

burst out laughing. What a difference between a “future financial elite” and a “hot–tempered athlete“! I really looked forward to seeing Madison’s regretful expression!
