Jing Yunzhao frowned as sunlight shone through the window onto her face. She slowly opened her eyes and got up from her bed, feeling her head throb painfully. She froze when she felt hair brushing her ears and neck.
Was this another joke?
Didn't Qiao Hongye cut all her hair off? Why did she still have long hair?
Jing Yunzhao turned her head when she smelled something sweet and was shocked to see a bowl of sweet porridge on the table.
This was where she used to stay!
It was a rather clean bedroom. On the table was her favorite glazed vase with a few lucky bamboo stalks in it, and on top of her bed was a blue gauze canopy. None of the things in this room were valuable, but they were all she had during the happiest time of her life.
Jing Yunzhao began to panic. She grabbed a mirror with shaking hands and saw a face that was both familiar and strange.
It was how she looked many years ago.
Could it be that… she had been reborn?!
Jing Yunzhao clenched her fists as she considered it. Her skin, the calendar in the room, and basically everything else was telling her that she was right—she had gone back in time to ten years ago when she was fifteen years old.
Jing Yunzhao clenched her fists even tighter. Her previous life was an unforgettable nightmare to her, and her heart pounded just thinking about it.
She sat on her bed for a while before she got up and went out of her room. The first thing she saw was a few familiar faces. Jing Yunzhao looked at the faces of her enemies and began to feel her blood boiling and her teeth clenching.
There were four people sitting in the hall—two adults and two children. Her mother Ye Qin, her stepfather Qiao Weimin, and her younger brother and sister who were twins—Qian Hongye and Qiao Zizhou.
She had believed that Ye Qin was her biological mother for almost her whole previous life, and learned about the truth about her being adopted only very much later. Her surname was from a word engraved on a piece of jade that had been found with her. Ye Qin had been fairly nice to her, but that was as long as there wasn't any conflict between her and her twin siblings.
As for her stepfather Qiao Weimin… Jing Yunzhao was filled with disgust and hatred as she thought about him.
It was around this time in her previous life when Ye Qin had succumbed to her illness, and Jing Yunzhao had become even more unpopular in the family. Overly horny without his wife around, Qiao Weimin became more daring and started to get handsy with Jing Yunzhao. Jing Yunzhao was too young and timid when it happened and all she dared to do was hide and keep quiet about it, hoping that she could leave the house once she furthered her studies in a university.
Never had she expected that the vile man had never planned to send her to a university. As her guardian, he forced her to quit school and stay at home instead to serve him and his two children.
Jing Yunzhao lived in fear under the same roof as Qiao Weimin for five years and did not let him succeed even once. Qiao Hongye found out what Qiao Weimin was up to but started to spread scandalous rumors about her seducing her own stepfather. It damaged her reputation badly, and she always had to face derogatory comments from the people around her as a result.
She reunited with her high school friend by chance when she was twenty, and the young chap started to court her so enthusiastically that the whole town soon knew about it.
Knowing the situation with her family, she never did plan to accept him as her boyfriend, but the Qiao Family was still unhappy about it.
Out of rage, Qiao Weimin got impatient and decided to make Jing Yunzhao give in by force. Jing Yunzhao tried to resist and accidentally killed him in the process. While Jing Yunzhao had done it by accident out of defense, Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou claimed otherwise and their testimony got her thrown behind bars.
As for her high school mate who had been courting her at the time, he showed up after she was imprisoned only to tell her that never had been infatuated with her, and that he had only courted her to provoke Qiao Hongye—the one and only girl he truly loved.

The more Jing Yunzhao thought about her past, the more she wanted to get retribution against these people right here and now. However, she knew very well that being a little girl without any power, doing something rash would only put her into an even more unfavorable situation.
"You woke up, Yunzhao? Thank God! Mother is already so ill and I was worried about another bad thing happening to this family," Qiao Hongye cried out unctuously.
Ye Qin did look extremely ill judging from her pale face. If she was not mistaken, the family was already arranging for Ye Qin's funeral, and it was within these few days that she succumbed to her illness.
"You have been behaving badly, Yunzhao. Don't you know that your mother is ill? You were hanging out with those thugs when you should have been at home taking care of your mother. Do you know what would have happened if those police officers hadn't passed by?" Qiao Weimin asked, sounding like a loving father.
The truth was that she fainted out there because of Qiao Hongye.
Jing Yunzhao was already attending high school in town despite being only fifteen. On the way back home from school the day before, she ran into some thugs who had forcefully kept her there and started to get handsy with her in front of the students who were passing by. They pretended that they knew her and took her into an alley, and she would have been sexually assaulted if it weren't for the police who happened to pass by.
She didn't know that what happened to her was planned until she saw Qiao Hongye hanging out with those thugs after Ye Qin passed away.
Qiao Hongye was younger than her by almost a year, and never would she have expected someone that young to be so scheming and evil.
"You know that I am the top student at school, Father, and the second top student is nowhere near my scores. Do you think someone like me would have anything to do with those thugs? It was obvious that they were picking on me," said Jing Yunzhao directly.
The Jing Yunzhao in her previous life might have just accepted it and apologized, but not the Jing Yunzhao in this life. Why should she be so careful with their feelings when she had decided that there was no need to get along with them anyway?
Qiao Hongye blushed in embarrassment when she heard what Jing Yunzhao said.
Jing Yunzhao and her twin siblings attended the same high school, except that her brother who wasn't quite good at studying had to enter the school through the back door after spending a fortune, and Qiao Hongye could never be the top student no matter how hard she tried.
From the beginning, Jing Yunzhao had always been the top student in the school. Her results were always better than Qiao Hongye's, and Qiao Hongye could never overtake her no matter how hard she tried.
The Qiao siblings were actually one year younger than Jing Yunzhao, but they were not happy when Jing Yunzhao got to attend high school, so they made Ye Qin pull some strings for them to be in the same school and same grade as Jing Yunzhao.
"The teacher said I am improving, Mother, but I've been so worried about your health that I can hardly focus on my studies like Yunzhao. I can barely even sleep at night…" Qiao Hongye grabbed Ye Qin's arm and said sadly.
Qiao Hongye was Ye Qin's biological daughter after all, and Ye Qin always looked at Qiao Hongye lovingly.
Jing Yunzhao's heart sank.
Ye Qin had raised and taken care of her for more than ten years and she had always respected Ye Qin as her mother, but the way Ye Qin always sided with her own children disappointed her.
Ye Qin rarely looked at Jing Yunzhao lovingly, and her smile whenever she looked at Jing Yunzhao was usually insincere. She would order Jing Yunzhao to do things for Qiao Hongye, and she would get angry and lash out at Jing Yunzhao if she disobeyed her.
Jing Yunzhao was always curious about why Ye Qin would treat her two daughters so differently, and understood only after she found out the truth.
Ye Qin had found her as a baby when she was pregnant. She was afraid of committing sin by ignoring the baby so she got a fortune teller to read the baby's fortune. According to the fortune teller, while the baby might have a tough life, she could be a lucky charm for Ye Qin's children. She could ward off evil and ensure that Ye Qin's children lived a healthy and wealthy life…
