Reborn back to her second year of high school, Ethan Carter's best year in her short life.

This time, she is determined to live well.

To pick up her dream of dancing again.

No longer disfiguring herself to save the ungrateful sister from a fire, but to protect her own beauty.

And she will never get involved with Chad Sullivan, that boy who later became a murderous demon.

However, in the summer of her second year, Ethan Carter went back to get her English book.

At the stairwell corner, delinquent boys were gathered, smoking.

She stopped, not daring to go past.

But unexpectedly, she heard that unruly bad boy Chad Sullivan laugh wildly: "What type do I like? Someone like Ethan Carter."

"Brother Chad, don’t. The school beauty is so hard to chase."

"I’ll bet my whole life on it."

To live for her, to die for her, to stain his hands with blood for her, to wipe the dust from her tombstone for her.

1. Back to Second Year

"Sister, I’m begging you. There are so many people down there, you don’t want me to be unable to survive at school, right?"

When Ethan Carter regained consciousness, she was being pushed forward by someone.

Hearing this familiar voice, her heart trembled, and she instinctively turned around and grabbed the girl’s hand tightly.

Lily Brooks almost screamed: "Sister, it hurts, let go of me!"

Only then did Ethan Carter realize something was wrong.

Everything before her was gray, as if the world was covered by a curtain.

Ethan Carter dazedly touched her own face. She was wearing sunglasses on her nose, and her eyes felt dry and sore. The Lily Brooks in front of her looked sixteen or seventeen, her voice was also more childish. Lily Brooks glanced at her, warily saying, "You already agreed, you won’t go back on your word, right?"

Go back on her word?

Ethan Carter looked around with her aching eyes. They were in a very dark place, the music from the front desk was loud, but in the back it was just a vague melody. Ethan Carter looked down at her own hand—fair and slender, beautiful and delicate under the dim light, completely lacking the hideous scars from burns. She was momentarily lost in thought.

Lily Brooks noticed something was off, her heart skipped a beat, afraid she’d been found out, and lowered her voice: "Sister, this is a very important assessment. If I don’t pass, what if Dad gets sick when he finds out…"

Only then did Ethan Carter turn to look at her. She wanted to ask Lily Brooks: Why did you let go of that rope, letting me die in the landslide?

She knew she was already dead. But after that terrifying feeling of weightlessness, when she opened her eyes again, she was back five years ago. The Lily Brooks in front of her was still childish, and the scene was very familiar. Ethan Carter remembered this incident—this year she was in her second year, and Lily Brooks begged her to help with an art assessment.

Lily Brooks said that if she didn’t pass, she’d be looked down on at school. Lily Brooks had only learned piano for two years and had no real talent, at best a dabbler. Ethan Carter was pestered by her for a long time, and considering Dad Brooks’s health, finally agreed to help her sister this once.

Maybe it was the first time she did something wrong, and her life went downhill from there.

After being exposed for the identity swap, her classmates at school looked at her with strange eyes.

And two months later, when her eyes healed, Ethan Carter became the school beauty of No. 7 High. Her eyes hadn’t seen daylight for three years, so everyone thought she was blind. But that year, her beauty bloomed without reservation, making many boys at school unable to take their eyes off her.

But Ethan Carter was disfigured saving Lily Brooks, then Dad Brooks suffered misfortune, she was ostracized by relatives, and finally died tragically in a landslide.

At this moment, Lily Brooks whispered, "Sister, I promise, this is just a routine assessment, not for ranking or scoring, it won’t affect other students. You don’t want me to be looked down on for three years in high school, right? Our family is already poor, because of your eyes..." She suddenly stopped, nervously glancing at Ethan Carter.

Ethan Carter's heart trembled slightly, and in an instant she understood what she meant—Because of treating your eyes, our family is now so strapped for money.

But the funny thing is, Lily Brooks’s tuition at this school was already frighteningly expensive for a year.

And having lived again, Ethan Carter knew Lily Brooks was lying to her.

This was no art assessment at all, it was clearly for Chad Sullivan in the audience. That year, Chad Sullivan made a mistake and was sent by the The Sullivan Family to Lichai Vocational High. All the girls in the grade were preparing to please him.

At the opening talent competition, Lily Brooks signed up out of pride, only to realize at the last minute that she had no talent to show, so she begged Ethan Carter to swap places with her.
