Xu Xinchen walked into the bedroom looking exhausted, casually tossed her LV bag onto the floor, and sank into the soft, comfortable bed. As her fatigue slowly subsided, she perked up and walked to the largest dressing mirror in the bedroom. The woman in the mirror had fair skin and a beautiful face, with red lips and white teeth. Anyone who saw her would want to call her a fairy sister. However, Xu Xinchen noticed a wrinkle at the corner of her eye.

She's 28 years old. Although her face is still beautiful, she's not as youthful as a young girl. Fine lines appear after a long day of work—the marks of time.

Perhaps because she was so preoccupied with this matter, she dreamt that night that she returned to six years ago, when she was 22 years old. At that time, she did not yet have the international movie star status she has now; she was just a naive young girl who had just started out. Although she did not know how to dress up as she does now, her young and tender face was full of collagen.

She touched her smooth face and thought happily, "If only I wasn't dreaming."

"Min Shi, wake up! This poor child, what am I going to do with you?"

Hearing faint voices around him, Xu Xinchen frowned, turned over, mumbled something, and pulled the blanket up over his head.

"Shuangshuang, what's wrong with you? Why are you arguing with Min Shi? Can't you just give in to your sister? That child has had a hard life, losing her mother at a young age, and now she's even losing the person she loves. How can she not be heartbroken?"

A constant stream of noise filled her ears, and Xu Xinchen reluctantly opened her eyes, suppressing her anger.

What came into view was the mottled wall paint, the old furniture, and the orange oval dressing table, which was an antique from the last century that she had only seen when filming period dramas.

She was stunned. What was going on? She was clearly in her own home, so how did she end up in a completely unfamiliar house?

"Min Shi, you're finally awake!"

A gasp rang in her ears, and she saw two women sitting by the bed. The older woman was smiling at her, while the younger girl was staring at her in disbelief. When she saw her looking over, the girl muttered something to herself and turned her head away with her back to her.

Xu Xinchen felt a sense of bewilderment.

“Min Shi, don’t worry about it. That’s just how your sister is. I’ll talk to her. You just need to try to think things through and not do anything foolish again.”

The woman pulled the blanket up for her and kindly advised her.

Although the woman had a friendly expression and a round face, and didn't seem like a bad person, Xu Xinchen suddenly felt a sense of resistance and disgust.

"The school has arranged leave for you. Rest well and then go back to class; after all, you'll still get paid..."

Feeling dizzy, Xu Xinchen suddenly felt a sharp pain and clutched her head in agony.

"Min Shi, what's wrong? Should we go and get you a doctor?" The woman noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern.

Xu Xinchen waved weakly with one hand free, "No need, you guys go out first, I want to rest quietly now."

"Alright then." A faint smile appeared on the woman's lips, which she then replaced with a concerned expression. "You get some rest. Shuangshuang and I will be leaving now."

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Xu Xinchen looked up and suddenly saw through the crack in the closing door that the girl was giving him a provocative and smug look.

"Mom, why did you say that? How much does it cost to hire a doctor? We've been short of money these past few months, and now we have to hire a doctor for that jinx!" Lu Shuangshuang complained impatiently as soon as she stepped out the door.

The woman sneered, "I was just mentioning it. You thought I was really going to hire a doctor for her? Otherwise, she would have complained to your father, saying that I, her stepmother, was abusing her. Right now, she didn't hire a doctor herself, so she can't find fault with me."

Lu Shuangshuang leaned on Zhao Lanzhi's shoulder, "Mom, you're so good to me."

Zhao Lanzhi withdrew her hand, her expression turning serious. "Tell me honestly, how did you get together with Chen Baifei?"

Lu Shuangshuang was clearly unwilling to mention this in front of her mother. Her eyes were lowered, and she didn't dare look at Zhao Lanzhi. "That's how it is... Brother Baifei and I are in love... Mom, please don't worry about it."

Zhao Lanzhi was furious and heartbroken. "How could you be so foolish? You know Chen Baifei's family situation perfectly well. They're dirt poor, with nothing to their name. With his meager salary as a rural teacher, they can barely make ends meet. How will he support you if you get together? I was originally planning to marry him off to your sister and find you someone better. But instead, you've snatched this piece of trash away."

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang was unhappy and her face fell. "Mom, why do you say that about Brother Baifei? He's not a piece of trash. Although he has nothing now, with his abilities, he will definitely make a name for himself in the future."

Zhao Lanzhi was furious after hearing her daughter's words and went back to her room in anger.

Xu Xinchen lay quietly in her room, looking at the blackened and yellowed roof. Memories of her headache surfaced in her mind, fragments of which flooded her brain. Among these fragments were those of the woman and the girl. It turned out that the woman was her stepmother and the girl was her sister.

She was originally a primary school teacher in a rural town. She fell in love with a man named Chen Baifei from the town, but unexpectedly, Chen Baifei betrayed her and got together with her younger sister, Lu Shuangshuang. Witnessing their betrayal, she was heartbroken and committed suicide by drowning herself in the river...

When Xu Xinchen saw her face in the mirror, she was so shocked she almost fell to the ground. The face in the mirror wasn't hers at all. Although it looked about 80% similar and the person was very young, it was definitely not the same person. Next to the mirror hung an old-fashioned white calendar with red lettering, clearly showing the date: June 23, 1982.

In 1982, she wasn't even born yet.

Recalling the memories that had inexplicably flooded her mind, she guessed that she had probably been reborn into the body of a woman named "Lu Minshi".

She was shocked for a moment before silently accepting the fact. Before her rebirth, although she was successful and accomplished, she had lost both her parents at a young age and had not experienced much warmth. She was used to being alone and could adapt well to any place.

Xu Xinchen was an optimist, and she tried her best to comfort herself and not let herself be so depressed. In front of the dressing mirror by the bedroom door, the girl's brows were slightly furrowed. Xu Xinchen glanced at her by chance and looked at her carefully. This Lu Minshi was really good-looking. Her skin was as smooth as a boiled egg, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and charming, and she had the face of a stunningly beautiful girl.

Chen Baifei cheated on his girlfriend; he has no taste at all.
