In my previous life, my sister and I accidentally rescued a traveling physician.
To repay us, he offered to take one of us as his apprentice and give the other precious medicinal herbs.
My sister was content with an easy life, so without hesitation, she chose the herbs to sell for money.
Little did she know that bandits would soon raid the village. She lost all her money and, to survive, was forced to become the bandits’ plaything.
I traveled far and wide with the physician. By a stroke of luck, I saved the general, and later became his wife.
I saw my sister again during a bandit raid ordered by the Emperor.
Unable to bear seeing her locked in a cage, barely alive, I insisted on rescuing her. She stabbed me to death.
She cried, “I’m the one who should have been the general’s wife!”
When I opened my eyes, I found myself back on the day we rescued the physician, facing the same choice again.
This time, my sister chose without hesitation to follow the physician.
Looking at her eager, expectant expression, I realized she had been reborn too.
