In a dreamlike room with an exquisite decoration, a girl who appeared to be around 18 years old sat in front of the mirror and raised her hand to her smooth and tender face...and pinched it hard.
"Ouch, it really hurts...I can't believe this is not a dream," the person in the mirror showed an expression of disbelief, and her beautiful and delicate face was slightly distorted.
Looking at the three big characters "Dai Shiyuan" on the art award certificate next to the mirror, the girl's eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.
The name on this certificate was the same as hers, but the face on it was completely different.
The big eyes, pointed chin, and delicate skin made her couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is so good."
She had graduated and worked for two years, but now suddenly became an 18-year-old girl, who still appeared to be a wealthy family's daughter.
Dai Shiyuan was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be happy or frightened.
She remembered that she was crossing the street at that time, and suddenly a car appeared and hit her.
The car was moving too fast that she didn't even have time to feel the pain before passing out.
She thought she would wake up in the hospital, but instead, she found herself in such a strange and mysterious environment.
The room was filled with expensive Barbie dolls, various designer clothes, and bags, all of which looked beyond her salary level.
Dai Shiyuan tapped her forehead with her hand, closed her eyes for a few seconds, and then let out a heavy sigh.
Looking out of the window, she could see a huge lawn and an outdoor swimming pool, which were typical features of a luxurious villa.
In her sight, she saw a woman wearing a dress watering the flowers with her back facing her, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
After watching for a while, Dai Shiyuan quietly closed the window and looked around the room, finally spotting her mobile phone on the bed.
She felt happy and quickly picked up the phone without thinking about why the phone was so old-fashioned.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service..."
"Not in service?" Dai Shiyuan frowned, confirming the number and redialing it, but it was still not in service.
She was puzzled and a little panicked, and began dialing her leaders and company's phone numbers, but all of them were not in service.
This fact made Dai Shiyuan frown even tighter, and she became anxious, gripping her phone tightly with her youthful face full of worry.
Suddenly she glanced at the date on the screen: July 20, 2010. Dai Shiyuan was shocked and almost dropped her phone.
Was she... back ten years ago?
And transported into a rich family's home?
This speculation was like a thunderbolt that stunned Dai Shiyuan's brain, and she became a little confused.
Such a bizarre thing, she had only seen it on TV before, but now it was actually happening to her!
She needed to calm down...
After staring blankly for a while, Dai Shiyuan put down her phone and got up to look around the room, unexpectedly finding a notebook.
She flipped open the notebook and saw that the first page was filled with a person's name.
Staring at the unfamiliar yet familiar name for a long time, Dai Shiyuan's pupils contracted, and a more fanciful idea popped up in her mind.
It seemed like she had traveled into the book...
This book was recommended to her by a colleague and was a typical wealthy family melodrama. At the beginning of the story, the female lead was looked down upon by the male lead's family and suffered from all kinds of misunderstandings and bullying. However, with her kindness and efforts, she eventually won their acceptance.
The male lead's younger sister, on the other hand, met a tragic end. She constantly schemed and framed the female lead in the early part of the story, but in the later part, she was slapped and scolded by the male lead's family and was almost universally reviled like a dirty mouse.
The female lead forgave everyone who had bullied her, except for this younger sister, who was eventually sent to prison for her wrongdoing.
However, before she could reach the prison, she went insane and was hit and killed by a car on the road.
The name of this malicious younger sister was exactly the same as hers!
Dai Shiyuan's heart trembled, and her expression became serious.
She didn't want to be hit by a car again...
She didn't want to die...
Dai Shiyuan pressed her forehead and suppressed her panic. She continued to flip through the notebook, becoming increasingly puzzled as she read on.
This notebook doesn't have any diary entries, just one name repeated over and over again.
It's clear that the writer used a lot of force, as the paper is cut through many times.
Between the lines, one can feel that the writer harbors resentment towards this name.
On the last page of the notebook, there's only one sentence: "Shan Yaxin, even if you become my sister-in-law, one day, I will still drive you out!"
Upon seeing the term "sister-in-law," Dai Shiyuan suddenly widened her eyes, her fingers trembling slightly, and her last bit of hope shattered.
She could be certain that she had just transmigrated into this melodramatic, wealthy family abuse novel!
And even worse, she has become the pitiful younger sister-in-law with a tragic ending!
At the thought of the impending death awaiting her, Dai Shiyuan panicked a little.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to live well...
Dai Shiyuan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Sitting there, she pondered for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration and began to destroy the evidence.
This notebook absolutely cannot be seen by anyone, especially not the female lead, or her fate will be very miserable.
After tearing until her hands were sore, she finally destroyed the evidence.
Dai Shiyuan rubbed her slightly sore neck and arms, and a smile appeared on her delicate face.
She remembered that her current identity was just a recent high school graduate, and come September, she would be a college student.
As long as she filled out her college application to a school outside the province and avoided any contact with the female lead, she should be able to avoid tragedy.
As a result of her clever decision, Dai Shiyuan's excited heart was beating with joy, her eyes sparkling as if they were filled with starlight.
The college application book was underneath her pillow, and some parts of it were marked in red. Dai Shiyuan checked it and quickly eliminated the local university choices marked in red circles. She believed that the best way to start a good chapter in life was to stay far away from the female lead, and the farther, the better.
Dai Shiyuan smiled happily and chose a few very distant places, places where she wouldn't come back for a year.
Just as she was thrilled with her decision, there was a knock on the door. Dai Shiyuan's smile froze, and her innocent-looking eyes blinked twice.
She didn't know who was knocking on the door, and what if someone found out about the body swapping? The possibility of being discovered made Dai Shiyuan's heart race, and she thought hard for a way to handle the situation.
But she couldn't come up with a good solution.
The knocking continued, like a death knell, making her heart race even faster. Dai Shiyuan's hands tightened on the book, her small face tense.
Suddenly, the door was opened, revealing a smooth and tender white arm. Dai Shiyuan's pupils contracted, and she instinctively held her breath.
The thick college application book fell to the ground with a loud "clang," which sounded particularly loud in the quiet room.
Dai Shiyuan sensed the smell of danger, unconsciously shrinking her body, and all over her body, goosebumps suddenly attacked, directly chilling her heart.
It was this seemingly gentle woman who would eventually mercilessly send her to prison, no matter how she begged and cried for mercy, this person would not let her go.
In Dai Shiyuan's mind, this terrifying scene kept playing back, and her heart rate once again began to violently beat out of control.
She didn't hear what the person in front of her was saying at all, her mind was full of her miserable future.
She didn't want to be locked up in prison...
She didn't want to go crazy and be run over by a car...
Suddenly, a hand reached out to her, as if to drag her down to hell.
Dai Shiyuan instinctively retreated onto the bed, staring and shouting, "Don't come any closer!"
That hand really stopped, and Dai Shiyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, that hand touched her forehead.
Daishi Yuan tensed up instantly, her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
"Xiaoyuan, you seem to have a slight fever..." Dan Yaxin's pretty eyebrows furrowed lightly, her voice extremely gentle. "Let me get you some medicine."
After saying that, she withdrew her hand and stood up, planning to leave.
"Hiss..." Dai Shiyuan suddenly crumpled her small face, and a painful sound came from her pale lips.
