When I received the critical illness noticeChapter 1
I, the daughter of the wealthiest man in Marindale, had just returned to Marindale after graduating from Lakeshire University, only to be told that I had less than four months to live.
Three months later, I died suddenly in critical condition in the hospital.
My soul floated in the ward. I saw that my once-kind stepmother, Madison Miller, and brother, Henry Miller, revealed a different side of themselves.
Madison said, "You are no longer a threat."
Henry burst into laughter. "Who could have imagined that diagnosis was fake?"
I finally realized that I was not sick.
Madison and Henry poisoned my food every day just so that Henry could get a considerable inheritance in the future.
When I opened my eyes again, I wasn't in the sterile, white hospital room.
The blinding sunlight shone on me. There was a hustle and bustle around me. Next to me was a girl laughing, "Happy graduation!"

To my astonishment, I found myself at the graduation ceremony of Lakeshire University. In other words, I had returned three months ago.
I thought, "Is this a divine mercy? I didn't die but returned to the past after discovering the cruel truth?"
