The night before the wedding, my sister Winona Simpson’s groom Austin Graham was injured in the groin by a raging bull, leaving him unable to have children. Winona refused to marry the disabled Austin and fled in the middle of the night. I, Esther Simpson, watched the abandoned Austin and my parents, who were ashamed by Winona’s escape, and agreed to marry him in her place at their pleading. After marrying Austin, I worked tirelessly from dawn to dusk managing the household. Austin miraculously recovered, and our family became the wealthiest in the village. However, on the very day Austin became the richest man in the provincial capital, Winona returned. She cried and claimed she hadn’t fled the wedding, but that I had tricked her into going up the mountain by saying there was a miracle cure for Austin’s condition, then knocked her unconscious while she wasn’t looking. Austin immediately believed her story. Furious, he slapped me across the face and even threatened to throw me in the river to drown. I couldn’t defend myself, and in desperation, I grabbed both of them and dragged us all to our deaths. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn on the day of the wedding. Winona, who had fled, suddenly appeared at the wedding ceremony. But they didn’t know that without me, Austin could never have recovered, much less become the richest man in the provincial capital. Austin lifted my wedding veil, and his face turned ashen when he saw it was me. “I was supposed to marry Winona. Why is it suddenly Esther? Give me an explanation!” Before I could react, my parents exchanged glances and rushed to explain. “Austin, Esther was threatening suicide at home, saying she would marry no one but you in this lifetime! “She even drove Winona away with her tantrum. We had no choice but to let Esther marry you!” I was shocked back to my senses. They had clearly begged me through tears to marry in Winona’s place, so how had it now become me begging to marry him? Upon hearing this, Austin raised his hand and slapped me again. “If you hadn’t interfered, how could Winona and I have missed so many years in our past life? Tell me, where exactly is Winona? Or I’ll strangle you!” This slap completely awakened me, and I suddenly realized I had been reborn, and Austin before me had also been reborn. I glared at him and said word by word: “Winona despised you as a useless waste and fled the wedding overnight!” Austin clearly didn’t believe it. His eyes blazed with fury as he grabbed my throat. “You’re lying! Winona loves me so much, how could she possibly flee? It must be you, you wretch, who tricked her away!” The scene descended into chaos. I was being strangled and couldn’t breathe, yet everyone around just watched coldly without helping. Just then, Winona’s voice came from outside the door. “Austin, I’ve come back to marry you!” Austin released my throat and excitedly placed the wedding veil over Winona’s head. My heart jolted—it seemed all three of us had been reborn. In my previous life, Austin had been injured in the groin by a raging bull, and the doctor declared he would never be able to have children again, unable even to have marital relations. After hearing this, Winona cried at home for hours, then fled in the dead of night while we were all asleep. My father Elliot Simpson sat at home sighing, while my mother Phoebe Simpson cried, saying we’d be laughed at by the villagers, and begged me to marry Austin to make up for Winona’s wrongdoing. I couldn’t bear to see my parents heartbroken, and considering Austin’s upright character, I agreed to marry in her place. When Austin learned the truth, he hugged me excitedly. “Esther, you’re the only one in this world who truly cares for me.” After marriage, I devoted all my energy to the household, working day and night, even seeking doctors and medicine everywhere, finally curing Austin’s condition. However, our life remained impoverished until a merchant named Dylan Wright came from the provincial capital, willing to help Austin in business and promising to make him successful. With Dylan’s support, Austin’s business flourished. He became the wealthiest man in the village, and a few years later, even the richest man in the provincial capital. I thought our days would be peaceful from then on, but Winona’s return shattered that tranquility. She wept at our doorstep, claiming she hadn’t fled the wedding that night, but had been tricked by me into going to the mountain where I knocked her unconscious. Austin believed this clumsy lie without question, slapping me on the spot and even threatening to drown me in the river. I tried desperately to explain but no one would listen. In my fury, I dragged both of them to our mutual destruction. In this life, I was determined to wash away the humiliation of my previous life. Looking at the two lovebirds, since you love each other so deeply, then I’ll fulfill your wishes.
Seeing my silence, Austin’s expression grew even more smug. “I told you so—Winona would never abandon me and run away from our wedding. No matter how much you love me, you can’t use such despicable tactics to break us up!” I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Years of marriage meant nothing compared to a single word from Winona. I spoke calmly: “Since you’re so confident that Winona won’t run away from the wedding, why don’t you open her bag and see what’s really inside?” Winona’s face instantly changed, and she quickly said, “I truly love Austin—I don’t need anything else to prove it!” I sneered, looking directly into her eyes: “Since you put it that way, what’s the harm in letting everyone see?” Austin glared at me: “Esther, stop trying to drive a wedge between us. I’ll never believe a word you say!” Just then, a bystander reached out and knocked the bag off Winona’s shoulder, spilling clothes and money all over the ground. The crowd immediately erupted in gasps of surprise. She had clearly packed all her belongings. “She’s packed so thoroughly—could she really be planning to run away from the wedding?” “I heard Austin has erectile dysfunction. If I were her, I’d run away too.” “That’s so wrong of Winona. If she didn’t want to get married, she should have said so earlier. This is just embarrassing!” Winona looked panicked and quickly knelt down, trying to cover up the scattered items, afraid others might see more: “Going through someone else’s belongings without permission is illegal, don’t you know that?” Austin stared at the items scattered across the ground, and with his private matters being discussed publicly, his face darkened unpredictably as he said in a trembling voice: “Winona, you owe me an explanation!” Winona’s face went pale as she stammered: “I have no idea how these things got here. Austin, you have to believe me—I love you deeply. It must be that bitch Esther who did this! She deliberately put these things in my bag because she’s jealous that you like me, and she wants to frame me! Think about it—why would I carry so much stuff if I was just going to get medicine?” I knew she’d say that. So I went inside and found the note Winona had left behind, which clearly stated that she couldn’t accept a man with erectile dysfunction and had chosen to run away from the wedding. I thought Austin would finally believe me this time, but he didn’t even look at it before tearing the note to shreds: “Enough! I know you love me obsessively, but I won’t let myself be ruined by a slut like you in this lifetime too!” Winona pulled Elliot and Phoebe aside and whispered something to them, and their smiles grew more obvious. I was about to say something else when Elliot slapped me: “It’s one thing for you to make a scene at home trying to steal Austin, but now you’re actually scheming to frame Winona. I’m going to lock you in your room so you can reflect on your behavior!” Phoebe also came over and twisted my ear: “You’ve completely ruined the Simpson family’s reputation!” Winona took the opportunity to link arms with Elliot, acting coquettishly: “You shouldn’t just lock her in her room—don’t give her any food either, so she learns how immoral it is to steal someone else’s man!” With them saying this, I had no way to clear my name. Austin tried to drag me into the room by force. In desperation, I bit down hard on his hand. Austin winced in pain and finally released his grip on my hands, glaring at me: “Your bite really hurts!” I had no time to deal with him and ran straight to Winona’s side, whispering in her ear: “If you dare lock me up, I’ll spill all your secrets!”
Winona’s eyes widened with terror and fury as she stared at me, completely helpless. She knew perfectly well that once this secret came to light, her relationship with Austin would be over for good. Winona and I shared the same room. Every night at midnight, she’d sneak out and wouldn’t return until five in the morning. One time, I was so worried that I quietly followed her. She’d slip away to town and hang around with a bunch of lowlifes, even staying overnight at someone else’s place. Moans and gasps would echo from inside the house until four in the morning. If I exposed this, forget about our village—Winona wouldn’t be able to show her face anywhere in the entire county. While Winona was still hesitating, I cut straight to the threat: “You’d better think this through. If you don’t want to be completely ruined, let me leave.” Reluctantly, she walked over to Austin and whispered, “Today’s our wedding day. Don’t let Esther ruin our mood—just let her go.” Then she turned to Elliot and Phoebe: “Dad, Mom, you’ve always loved me most. You shouldn’t have any objections to this, right? After all, Esther has brought shame to the Simpson family. Keeping her around will only cause more trouble.” Austin wrapped his arms around Winona, his face full of adoration: “You’re absolutely right. We can’t let this bitch ruin our special day.” Turning to me, he snapped: “Get the hell out of here and stop ruining our mood!” I smiled slightly: “I’ll leave, but first you need to pay back the five hundred dollars you owe me!” Austin had come to me earlier, claiming he was short five hundred dollars for wedding gifts. I’d treated him like family and lent him the money without a second thought. Now I had to get every penny back! Austin panicked: “When did I ever owe you money? Stop making things up!” I pulled out the IOU he’d written in his own hand and slapped it right across his face: “This promissory note is crystal clear, complete with your fingerprint. Don’t tell me you can’t even read!” Austin’s face turned ugly. Being exposed for borrowing money from me in front of Elliot and Phoebe was deeply humiliating. He said, “I’ve already spent the money. Give me a few days, and I’ll definitely pay you back.” I’d known all along that this kind of person would be flat broke. In my previous life, I only learned after our marriage that Austin had a serious gambling addiction—any money in his hands would be gone within three days. He hadn’t borrowed money from me for wedding gifts at all—he’d gambled it away. I said, “No problem. I’ll take the radio, bicycle, and refrigerator you brought today. Consider it payment for the five hundred dollars.” Winona wasn’t having it: “Those are my things! What gives you the right to take them?” I smiled politely at her: “Either you pay his debt, or I’m calling the police.” Austin held Winona back: “Once we have money later, these things won’t matter at all. Look how pathetic she is—if she wants them, let her take them.” Hearing this, Winona regained her arrogant demeanor: “When I’m rich someday, you’d better not come begging at my doorstep.” She covered her mouth and laughed smugly. Elliot and Phoebe’s faces turned ashen. They no longer saw me as their daughter, but glared at me like I was their enemy. Elliot said, “Since you’re being so ruthless, from now on we’ll act like we never had a daughter like you!” This was exactly what I wanted to hear. After living through two lifetimes, I finally understood that in their eyes, I was nothing more than a tool—once I lost my usefulness, I could be discarded at will. I went inside, grabbed paper and pen, and wrote out a formal declaration severing all family ties. From this day forward, I would have nothing to do with the Simpson family. Before leaving, I couldn’t resist one final jab: “You can’t even afford wedding gifts without borrowing money, yet you dream of getting rich?” I moved to town to settle down. Compared to the village, there was less gossip and idle chatter here, and I finally found some peace and quiet. Just as I stepped out that day, I ran into Austin and Winona. I tried to avoid them, but they blocked my path directly. Austin looked at me with a smug grin and said, “Didn’t you despise me for having erectile dysfunction? Well, I’m different now. But I’m a man you’ll never have in this lifetime, because I belong only to Winona. You don’t deserve to be with me!” Winona blushed coyly, lightly tapping Austin’s chest: “How can you say such things in public? What if Esther gets jealous and tries to steal you away from me? Oh right, she’s not my sister anymore anyway.” I ignored them, but felt a twinge of confusion. Austin couldn’t have recovered so quickly. In my past life, that medicine took me tremendous effort to obtain—there was no way he could know the formula! I couldn’t help but kindly remind him: “When the effects wear off and you’re back to your old self, don’t come crying to me. There might even be side effects!” Austin’s face immediately darkened: “Esther, I was your man in our past life after all. What good does cursing me do you? Last time I shouldn’t have listened to Winona’s advice—I should have locked you in a room and burned you alive to save myself from your constant interference!” I rolled my eyes. Since he couldn’t get that medicine anyway, I might as well tell him the truth: “I don’t have time for your nonsense. Out of pity for you, I’ll tell you…” Before I could finish, Austin suddenly clutched his groin and crouched on the ground, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Winona cried out anxiously: “What’s wrong? You can’t let anything happen to you!” A car happened to pass by, and seeing Austin’s condition, the driver quickly rushed him to the hospital. Winona insisted he was in this state because I had upset him, dragging me to the hospital and demanding I apologize and cover all medical expenses. She said: “If anything happens to Austin, I’ll never forgive you!” I was curious to see what was really going on, so I followed along. After examining Austin, the doctor hemmed and hawed, looking like he had something difficult to say. Winona paced frantically: “Doctor, speak up! What’s wrong with Austin? Was he upset by this woman? No matter how much it costs, she has to pay! You must cure Austin!” Austin lay on the hospital bed unable to move, only able to glare at me viciously: “You bitch, I’ll never let you get away with this!” I couldn’t help but sneer, putting on an innocent expression as I asked the doctor: “Doctor, looking at his condition, his sexual function isn’t completely ruined, is it?”
