On Valentine’s Day night, I discovered my ex-boyfriend lying naked and dead on my bed. Horrified, I called the police. The police investigation revealed that my ex had died from acute myocardial infarction after taking erectile dysfunction medication. Soon after, his current girlfriend started slapping me while recording a video. “I trusted you as a friend and felt safe living next door, but I never imagined you’d seduce my boyfriend and play him to death in bed!” She posted the video online, and quickly I was labeled a homewrecker and a slut. Overnight, not only were my social media accounts locked, but I also lost almost all my followers and faced millions in compensation from advertisers. Everyone was calling for me to die, and I eventually succumbed to the pressure and took my own life. Meanwhile, my ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend rode the wave of sympathy to become a multi-million follower internet celebrity. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day before Valentine’s Day.
“Pay your rent for this month,” Mr. Davis, my landlord, grumbled with a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he urged me to pay up. The familiar words made me shudder. I quickly pulled out my phone to check the date, only to realize I had been reborn on the day before I was framed. I heard a noise behind Mr. Davis and peeked around him. Sure enough, I saw my ex-boyfriend Jack Evans moving in across from me with his new girlfriend, Mia Foster. Mia and I were both influencers in the same agency. I was the top influencer in our team, while in comparison, Mia’s business skills were really mediocre. Her advertising revenue couldn’t even break four figures. Our boss had scolded her multiple times in meetings, telling her to increase her followers or get out. I could understand her anxiety as a newcomer, but I never imagined she would not only hold a grudge against me but also try to climb up by stepping on me. Mia put on a fake smile and greeted me, “Hey Lily, what a coincidence that you live here too.” “Jack and I are together now. You don’t mind, right?” She deliberately hooked her arm through Jack’s, trying to get under my skin. I quickly took out my phone to transfer money to Mr. Davis, determined to move out. “I’ve sent the money. I’m moving out today, I won’t be renting anymore.” It wasn’t because I was upset about her being with my ex-boyfriend, but because I needed to save my life. Mr. Davis’s expression changed after receiving the money. He grabbed my hand to stop me from leaving, confronting me aggressively. “Young lady, you didn’t give me any notice about moving out. Where am I supposed to find a new tenant now?” I didn’t want to argue, I just wanted to leave quickly. I responded coldly, “I’ll transfer you another month’s rent, okay? A month should be enough time for you to find the next tenant.” Mia, still arm-in-arm with Jack, spoke with a sarcastic tone, “Lily, is this the extent of your open-mindedness? Your reaction makes me feel like you’re still hung up on my boyfriend!” I looked up at her angrily, suddenly noticing a small camera pinned to her chest. She was livestreaming! While transferring money to Mr. Davis, I quickly opened the streaming platform and sure enough, saw her livestream. The few followers in her stream were saying some ridiculous things. [Looks like the rumors about you bullying our baby at work every day are true, big sis.] [She just happened to move in near you, and you’re moving out with an attitude? Really?] [Yeah, do you think your ex-boyfriend should remember you forever and not have a new girlfriend? If you were such a catch, why did he break up with you?] [Our sweet Mia is so nice, it’s understandable that he likes her. Are you just jealous?] I let out a cold laugh, remembering how differently they spoke in my past life when Jack died in my bed. Back then, they said things like, [Her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend moved in across from her, and she pretended to be fine with it at first, but she was actually planning how to seduce him. This bitch played too hard though, she actually played him to death!] [Who in this world could stand seeing their ex-boyfriend every day? The fact that she stubbornly refused to move out proves she had ulterior motives!] [Poor Mia, being bullied by her at work and having her boyfriend seduced behind her back.] I didn’t care what they said. Staying far away from these two was the real truth. Just as I turned to go into my apartment to pack, my boss suddenly called me. “Lily, what the hell are you doing? Don’t you dare move out!”
The huge shout made me pull the phone away from my ear. My boss was yelling at me on the other end. “Do you know that rumors are spreading online about you bullying Mia?” “Take advantage of this coincidence to improve your relationship. This is a potential viral moment for us. Being coworkers and gradually becoming best friends with your ex’s new girlfriend will definitely help Mia gain a lot of followers…” I cut off my boss before he could finish, “I’m definitely moving out today!” Mia’s eyes lit up, and she pouted, saying, “Lily, I really didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence, and I didn’t think you’d mind so much. Actually, I can choose not to rent if you’re uncomfortable…” She sounded more and more aggrieved as she spoke, as if she had done something wrong. Her voice even had a hint of tears. This made her followers anxious, and they started cursing at me more vigorously. [This bitch is so disgusting, she’s almost made our Mia cry.] [Capitalists will be capitalists. Didn’t you hear how she just spoke to her boss? So arrogant, not taking him seriously at all.] [I bet she slept with the boss to get so many resources. That’s probably why her boyfriend dumped her!] [I think the comment above is right. Our sweet Mia is just too upright and kind-hearted, that’s why the boss doesn’t value her.] I stared at Mia with a cold smile, unable to hide the murderous look in my eyes. “No need. I’m moving out.” You should know, in my past life, I was sleeping soundly at home when I suddenly woke up to find a naked, dead Jack on my bed. It scared me half to death. The police forensic results showed that Jack had a pre-existing heart condition and died from acute myocardial infarction after taking erectile dysfunction medication. The fact that he was naked on my bed left me completely unable to explain myself. This gave Mia an opportunity to exploit. She cried her heart out to her followers, accusing me of seducing her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day night and playing him to death in bed. Suddenly, the whole world’s spit was directed at me alone. The platform believed I had violated regulations and laws, so they locked my account, leaving me with no way to explain myself. Advertisers clamored for contract termination. My boss didn’t hesitate to kick me out of the team, eager to distance himself from me. He even pursued millions in compensation from me, while turning to promote Mia, who had become a hot topic due to public sympathy and pity… They literally drove me to death. In this life, I definitely wouldn’t feel safe with my address exposed. Even if Mia moved away, there was still a possibility she could harm me, so I had to move to a far, far away place, a place no one knew about. I turned and went into my apartment, slamming the door shut before immediately searching for new housing and moving companies. In less than three hours, I had everything packed up. The movers helped me load my luggage and furniture onto the truck. Seeing the mattress where Jack had died in my past life, I almost threw up. Covering my mouth, I asked the movers to throw it far, far away. This time, let’s see how you’ll set me up! I moved to a place 15 kilometers away from my previous apartment. I even had the driver take a couple of extra turns. I paid them double the price to help me keep it confidential, ensuring they wouldn’t leak my address to Mia. The next day was Valentine’s Day. I had accepted several sponsorships and needed to livestream from home all day. To avoid exposing my address, I even put up a whole backdrop curtain, not letting my followers see even a hint of what my home looked like. And so, I temporarily forgot about Mia and started focusing on my work. On Valentine’s Day, I streamed for over ten hours straight. When I finished, I felt like my soul had been sucked out of my body. All I wanted was to crawl into bed and sleep. Just then, my mom called me, her voice full of concern. “Lily, dear, Mom just dropped off some bird’s nest soup for you. Drink it quickly before you go to sleep.” “You’re always busy with your livestreams, your health is going to suffer. You need to take care of yourself.”
I had only told my mom my new address. Today, she must have seen me livestreaming in my room and didn’t want to disturb me, so she just left the supplements and left. My heart immediately warmed up. My mom, despite sometimes favoring my brother, still loved me quite a bit at other times. But I was so exhausted now that I could barely move. I lazily sent a voice message back to my mom. “Thanks, Mom, but I’m so tired today! Can I drink it tomorrow instead?” These past couple of days, I had been busy worrying about how to avoid disaster after being reborn, constantly on guard against Mia and internet trolls, while also busy livestreaming and managing my account. It had really drained all my energy. Mom replied instantly, anxiously nagging me. “No, drink it now! Listen to your mother, this is definitely good for your health. Mom bought it especially for you, not even your brother got any!” Lying in bed, I happily held my phone to my chest, feeling my mother’s endless love. This was something Mom bought especially for me, not even my brother got any. Thinking about this, I suddenly felt full of energy. I sat up with a jerk and walked heavily to the kitchen to drink the bird’s nest soup. After drinking it, I crawled into bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. In my dream, I vaguely smelled a foul odor. It was exactly the same as the smell I had woken up to on Jack’s body in my past life. I frowned, terrified as I woke up from my dream. Opening my eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling, I actually felt relieved. I patted my chest urgently to calm myself down. “It’s okay, it’s okay… I’ve already moved, there’s nothing to be afraid of…” Just as I was about to roll over and go back to sleep, I noticed that the pillow on the other side of my bed had a large dent in it. I screamed and turned on the lamp on my bedside table. I saw Jack, his face pale and his lips purple, completely naked, dead…!!! I almost fainted, but I managed to hold on to my consciousness and called the police. It was the same as in my previous life. Jack had died from acute myocardial infarction after taking erectile dysfunction medication. And only his DNA and mine were found on his hand. Just thinking about Jack’s dead hand touching me made me feel sick to my stomach. Not long after, Mia burst through the door, once again recording a video with her phone while rushing over to slap me. “Lily, you slut! Didn’t you move? Why are you still seducing my boyfriend?” “It’s bad enough that you seduced him, but how could you let him take erectile dysfunction pills when you knew he had a heart condition? You act all pure and kind on the surface, but you’re so wild behind closed doors! You couldn’t just enjoy yourself, you had to kill him?” One slap after another hit my face so hard I felt like it was about to fall off, but I couldn’t figure out where things had gone wrong. Suddenly, I snapped to attention, grabbed Mia’s wrist, and said through gritted teeth. “Mia Foster, don’t try to frame me! I installed security cameras in this new apartment yesterday. I’m going to check the footage now, and I’ll soon prove my innocence!” “Jack must have been killed by you. You deliberately brought him to my bed!” “My security cameras must have caught you in the act!” Mia’s pupils shook, but she was still stubborn. “Fine, I want to see what your cameras actually caught me doing!” I laughed bitterly and immediately opened the app connected to my security cameras. But there was nothing in the video! I clearly remembered buying security cameras yesterday and making sure they were working properly. Mia shoved her camera in my face and said angrily, “Lily, it’s bad enough that you slept with my boyfriend and played him to death, but now you’re trying to pin your evil deeds on me!” “I never said anything about how you bullied me at work, but this time you’ve really gone too far!” Mia covered her mouth and started sobbing. My emotions were already on the edge of collapse. Why did Jack die in my bed when I had clearly moved and not told anyone my address? Why did I install cameras but they caught nothing? Why did Jack die in my bed… Why, why, why?!
