   Reader note

   In my past life, my elder sister, on her deathbed, held my hand and said, "I hate you the most in this life." It was because her husband of five years loved me. I was only thirteen then, hiding behind a screen to secretly eat pastries, and he drew me on paper, remembering me for the rest of his life. My sister died with resentment, and I, burdened with the stigma of having an affair with my brother-in-law, died unjustly. Reborn, I awoke to find my sister again, holding that plate of osmanthus cake, smiling and coaxing me to the front hall for a marriage proposal. I pushed her hand away: "No, Wen had an upset stomach yesterday." In this life, whoever wants that sweet cake can eat it, and whoever wants that marriage can marry—I will never again be the person in his painting.
