The first week God let me reincarnate, I played cards with him for seven whole days. After deliberately losing the three-thousandth game to God, finally… he rewarded me with a magic potion. Not only did it allow me to successfully retain my memories from my previous life, but it also showed me that 18 years later, a girl would come crying to our door claiming she was my parents’ real daughter. No way! Was the life of a princess I had traded for with so many losses going to disappear just like that!? Dream on! I’ve seen plenty of baby swapping stories! What’s mine is mine, and no one can take it away! Before the gates of reincarnation, I played three thousand games of cards with God. For seven whole days, I played from dawn till dusk, losing all the merits and fortune I had accumulated in my previous life to him. Finally… the old man smiled with satisfaction and secretly slipped me a magic potion. I knew that reincarnation couldn’t be rushed. Look, this new life of supreme wealth and status was now in my hands! But just as I was smugly swallowing the potion, nodding my head in self-satisfaction, A vision of 18 years later appeared before my eyes: a girl crying at our door, claiming she was my parents’ real daughter. My heart skipped a beat. How could this be! How could this blessed life given by the Goddess of Fate be reversed? It was too late. With my first cry, when I opened my eyes again, I saw not my beautiful and wealthy parents, But a sneaky-looking woman. She swapped me with the baby in the basket next to me. Damn it! What’s going on! Doesn’t this mean I’ve just changed from an heiress to an ordinary person! After she left, the nurse came in for a routine check. I immediately started wailing at the top of my lungs. Nurse, help! I don’t want my life swapped! The nurse quickly noticed something was wrong with me and gently picked me up to comfort me: “What’s wrong, little one? Are you tired?” No! My whole life is about to be ruined! She gently patted my back and was about to put me back in the crib. I panicked even more. If I was put back, wouldn’t all these years of suffering be for nothing? At this critical moment, the head nurse pushed open the door: “What’s going on? I could hear this child crying from the hallway.” The moment she saw me, the experienced head nurse frowned slightly: “This isn’t right. This baby looks so thin, clearly not matching the weight noted above.” I immediately stopped crying and tried my best to nod, hoping she would understand. The two of them hurriedly reweighed me and the baby in the crib next to me. After confirming we had been swapped, the nurse’s legs went weak with fear: “Oh my God! Thank goodness you came in, sis. If this had slipped by, my career would have been over.” The head nurse sighed, also frightened in hindsight: “You need to be more careful. This baby is the heiress of Sullivan Group. If anything had happened, do you know how many people would be implicated? The hospital director might even be fired.” As the two whispered privately, the weight on my chest lifted. In this life, and even in my previous one, I had never cried so hard before. No one can steal my fortune. Returning home from the hospital, I looked at the spacious and luxurious penthouse in the heart of the city, prime real estate, and laughed heartily. Damn, it’s good to be rich! Grandpa named me Ariana Sullivan. I also have two older brothers. Alex, the eldest, is elite and handsome, steady and stylish. At a young age, he had already taken over the family business, doubling the company’s market value. An undisputed CEO, although cold to outsiders, he’s especially doting towards me, his little sister. Zachary, the second brother, is lively and cheerful, brimming with talent. When he grew up, he became a top celebrity, the kind whose smile could make fangirls scream. Although Zach seems carefree, he would cry for me, his little sister. Despite their contrasting personalities, they both adore me. They want to bring the best things in the world to me. From the moment I was born, they would play with me by my crib every day, even saving their pocket money to buy me snacks and toys. When I was bullied by boys in middle school, they found out in the morning and beat them up in the afternoon. Even the day before the SATs, the most crucial moment in life. Just because I threw up while eating, Zach snuck out of his film set to take me to the hospital, staying by my side all night without sleep. The next day, he went back to filming with dark circles under his eyes. I grew up day by day surrounded by love. Just when I hoped my life would continue to be so carefree… My 18th birthday nightmare still came. That day’s scene could be described as dazzling with wealth. At the party, Grandpa handed me the keys to the latest Rolls-Royce. Alex was even more generous, directly transferring the deed of the best located villa in the city to me. Saying it would be my foundation for standing firm in society from now on. Zach brought me a new Hermès bag personally designed by the designer for me. Mom and Dad shook their heads helplessly: “You’re going to spoil her rotten!” Alex stroked my head lovingly: “So what if we spoil her? We have the ability to protect Ariana and keep her safe for life.” The atmosphere reached a climax with this statement. I excitedly threw myself into Alex’s arms. Just as I was about to say something, the main door was suddenly kicked open by a plainly dressed girl. The luxurious birthday party venue was crowded with political and business elites she would never see in her lifetime. Those high and mighty figures were all smiling at that moment, surrounding me. The table in the center was piled with expensive gifts. Even the necklace around my neck was worth enough to buy a house. Jealousy was about to consume her. She looked at the lavish birthday scene with resentment and shouted: “I am the real Sullivan heiress! Ariana is just a fake!” Chloe Brown had finally come. On my 18th birthday. My grandpa, my mom, and my two brothers. Four pairs of eyes instantly shot at my dad from different directions: With just a few glances, my dad felt the threat as if a knife was at his throat, He hurriedly stepped back, so scared he started to stutter: “It’s not true! You all know my character best, even my assistant is male! How could I have an affair outside!” Of course I knew who this girl was. I had seen this scene before I was born. I secretly laughed inside. This old trick, I had seen it in my previous life. I suddenly pinched my thigh hard and started to put on a big show, tears instantly streaming down my face: “Dad, Mom, are you going to abandon Ariana… What did I do wrong for you to treat me like this…” Seeing me cry, Mom hurriedly came over to comfort me: “Don’t cry, baby! Mommy loves you the most. I’ll definitely find out who this woman is and won’t let you… Ah!!” Before she could finish speaking, Chloe suddenly went crazy and grabbed the red wine on the table, splashing it on my face. I turned my head to dodge, but the red wine still dripped down my hair onto my dress. Red stains appeared on the white skirt, along with a dampened mood. I sucked in a cold breath. Earlier was fake crying, now I was really angry. From the day I was born until now, I had never suffered such humiliation! My dad rushed over to check if I was hurt: “Ariana, are you okay? Does it hurt?” I shook my head without saying anything. My dad was furious and glared at Chloe fiercely: “Where did this crazy woman come from! I don’t know you at all! And there’s no way you’re my daughter! You’re so ill-mannered, barging in and hitting people! Is this how your family taught you!” Chloe was startled, biting her lip pitifully as she walked up trying to hold onto my dad’s arm: “That’s not true. Back then, the nurse at the hospital switched the babies. I’m your real daughter, Dad!” That “Dad” was loud and clear, giving my dad goosebumps. My mom rushed over to shield me behind her: “You think just saying so makes it true! You don’t have any proof, and moreover, you’re so rude. I couldn’t have given birth to a daughter like you!” My mom had also been pampered since childhood. Although her face was red with anger, She still wouldn’t use swear words. Alex also glared at her coldly. Just when the whole family was on guard to protect me in this heartwarming moment, I suddenly realized something was off. Where was Zach? So many years had passed since that incident back then, and things had been peaceful all these years. I thought I was safe long ago. But now I suddenly understood, this wouldn’t end so easily. The main door was pushed open again, but this time the one who came in was actually my second brother Zachary: “Mom, Dad, you’ve seen it too. Chloe is my real sister. We’ve already wronged her so much, we can’t keep going on like this without clarity!” I almost spat out my drink. It was actually Zach who was turned first?! Could it be… that he had something to do with Chloe’s sudden appearance? Seeing someone speak up for her, Chloe’s tears started falling. Completely different from her arrogant manner earlier, anyone who didn’t know better would think I had bullied her: “I’m sorry, Mom and Dad. I was too excited earlier. I’ve had such a hard life before, and finally found a warm family. I couldn’t control myself…” As she spoke, she kept looking up to observe Mom and Dad’s reactions. Mom frowned at Zachary: “Zach, what do you mean? You knew about all this already? Did you arrange for her to come make trouble today?” Zachary hesitated and said: “The first time I saw her, I realized this. She was wearing the necklace I gave to my sister. I wasn’t sure, so…” I remembered, during the time when our identities were switched, he had secretly come to see the two of us. He put a necklace around Chloe’s neck, never expecting it would become a weapon to identify me now. I was speechless, but Chloe thought I was speechless because I was guilty: “See! She has nothing to say! After occupying my position for so many years, it’s time to give it up!” Mom and Dad were probably encountering this kind of thing for the first time and didn’t know what to say. Zachary added fuel to the fire on the side: “Chloe has suffered so much. I can’t watch her not even be able to enter the family home. Let’s have her move in and live with us!” The corner of my mouth twitched. What was all this nonsense! It was still Alex who retained some rationality, rubbing his brow helplessly: “Alright, before things are clear, it would be embarrassing for people to see her move in. Don’t we still have a villa in the suburbs? Let her live there first. We’ll decide how to handle her after we investigate clearly.” But unexpectedly, Zachary still defended her: “But we’ve already wronged Chloe so much in the past. Wouldn’t it be bad if she’s seen living outside and people take photos?” Mom softened her heart and bit her lip: “Fine, fine. They’re both my children anyway. Let her stay. But one thing, Ariana can’t leave. She’s the daughter I’ve loved for so many years. I can’t bear for her to leave!” Originally this handling was already quite appropriate, but Zachary was still unsatisfied: “This fake has already had so many good years. It’s already a blessing for her!” I looked at him in surprise. This brother who had loved me for many years seemed to have become a different person. His eyes were full of disgust and dissatisfaction towards me. But none of this was my fault. When I was little, because I had memories from my previous life, I was much more mature than children of the same age. When Zachary was scolded by Mom and Dad, it was always me who rushed up to protect him. I never expected it would end up like this. Just as I was about to speak, Alex’s stern reprimand ended the topic: “Enough! She can move in, but Ariana absolutely cannot move out. She’s a girl, what if something happens!” Zachary had always been afraid of Alex since childhood, so he could only look at him unwillingly. Swallowing the rest of his words. The DNA test results would take a week. During this week, with Zachary’s help, Chloe not only moved into my home, But also transferred to our school with great fanfare. On her first day of school, news of my background quickly spread throughout the school. Everyone unanimously determined that I was an unwelcome fake heiress who would ultimately be kicked out. The final result was that a few girls who usually had the best relationship with me silently walked over to Chloe’s side. When they saw me, they even mocked: “Some people think occupying someone else’s identity makes them a real heiress. Now that they’ve been exposed, they’re still clinging to other people’s home and not leaving. I’ve never seen someone with such thick skin!” The person speaking used to always try to curry favor with me. But I saw that her character had major problems and was cold towards her. I never expected her to harbor such resentment. I directly retorted: “Oh my, even my parents aren’t sure which of us is real or fake. How do you know?” She blushed at my retort: “Your brother has admitted it! You’re still in denial!” Chloe felt proud that someone was standing up for her and raised her chin to look at me from the corner of her eye. Just as I was about to open my mouth to continue cursing, my best friend Lily suddenly appeared, holding my hand and calming me with her eyes. Her mouth directly cursed back: “If you’re uneducated, read more books, okay? Haven’t you heard of something called DNA testing? Before the results come out, she’s still the Sullivan heiress. Who are you to talk to her like this?” I looked at Lily gratefully. After this incident, I could see more clearly who were true friends and who were fake. I think our friendship will last a lifetime. After they were scolded away by us, I leaned on the railing and asked Lily: “Lily, if I’m really fake, will you look down on me?” Lily suddenly smiled: “My princess, even if you’re fake, I can support you! We’re best friends for life.” With her words, I felt much better in my heart. Before I could answer, She suddenly sighed: “But this Chloe really has some issues. Not only is she trying to steal your brothers, she’s not even sparing your fiancé.” The smile on my lips instantly froze. My fiancé. I was in such a hurry when reincarnating that I actually forgot about the marriage column. Yeah, Chloe was determined to make things difficult for me. How could she let the people around me go? It’s just that I’m not even familiar with my fiancé! We’re only together because of the so-called family engagement. Most importantly, when God showed me my life script before reincarnating, It only recorded that I would marry someone with “Yu” in their name, so when Mom proposed several matchmaking candidates, I chose Lucas Shaw without hesitation. Although we’ve rarely met over the years and don’t have much of a relationship, I always thought our relationship was stable! Did he betray me too? I was just about to ask for clarification when I saw Chloe holding Lucas Shaw’s hand, swaggering over: “No need to look anymore. We’re here.” I widened my eyes. The worst outcome had still appeared. “Why? Wasn’t I good to you?” I blurted out, looking at Lucas Shaw in shock. He didn’t seem to feel guilty at all and sneered: “To tell you the truth, I’ve had enough of you long ago. We’re engaged after all, right? You won’t even let me kiss you. What’s the point of being with you? Chloe is much more sensible. With me…” “Enough! Don’t say anymore!” Chloe hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand, her face still blushing suspiciously. I instantly understood everything. I didn’t expect she would go to such lengths to take my place! “Ariana Sullivan, do you see clearly now? Everyone around you likes me more. What reason do you have to stay here?” Her smile grew more and more arrogant. She really deserved a beating. My arm raised very honestly, about to land on her face. Suddenly Zachary’s excited voice came from behind: “It’s out! It’s out! The DNA report is out!” With this exclamation, everyone’s attention focused on him. I couldn’t help rushing forward and snatching the manila envelope from his hand, tearing open the outer covering in three quick moves. Originally, me being my parents’ biological daughter was a sure thing. Who knew that the document would clearly state That my genetic test with my parents didn’t match. I wasn’t their biological child at all! The document in my hand instantly fell to the ground. I instinctively took a step back: “Impossible! This is impossible!” In that moment, I even doubted myself. Were the memories I had been carrying all along fake! God, you lied to me! Chloe walked up smugly, picking up the document from the ground: “Do you see clearly now? I am the real Sullivan heiress. You’re just an impostor!”
