A Life Swapped

To secure his claim to the inheritance, my father bought a boy and had him take my place.

Five years later, he brought me back home under the pretext of caring for an old friend’s orphan.

I grew up as my father wanted. Everything I learned was meant to prepare me to be Gu Yinan’s wife.

But Gu Yinan didn’t love me. His heart belonged to a delicate little white flower he adored.

When she said she missed him, he left me, seven months pregnant, on the highway.

“Giving you this child is already the biggest concession I’m willing to make. You should learn to be content.”

The rain poured down. The highway was slick, a car skidded out of control, and I was sent flying.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the company’s annual gala.

The little white flower deliberately bumped into me, then spilled juice all over her own evening gown.

“Have you figured out what you’re going to say to Yinan?”

I smiled and poured red wine over her head.

“Now this is much worse, isn’t it?”
