I am a maid in the minister's residence and was sent to the study because of my lack of education. Just because the minister was in a good mood one day and talked to me more, and even gave me a sachet as a reward, the jealous Theresa, who is also a minister, thought that I had an affair with him. She pretended to arrange for me to marry into a good family, but actually sold me to a whorehouse. I suffered torture and contracted a serious illness, died with resentment and pain, but found myself reborn on the day I was assigned to be a maid again. Since heaven has given me a chance to live again, I will not be polite and will definitely make Theresa, the minister, taste the feeling of being trampled by thousands of people!

Chapter 1

The Minister's Residence

In the backyard of the minister's residence, a group of servants knelt in silence. The butler, trying to curry favor, handed a list to Theresa. "Theresa, this is the list of all the servants in the minister's residence."

Theresa took a leisurely sip of her tea, flipping through the list absentmindedly before asking directly, "Neal's study is short of a servant. We need someone to help organize books and clean the study. Does anyone here know how to read?"

Hearing this familiar question, I realized I had been reborn.

I discreetly rolled up my sleeve to check my arm. It was spotless, without the red bumps that had appeared in my previous life due to a filthy disease.

I was still in the minister's residence, and I had even been reborn to the day when Theresa came to select a maid for the study.

Working in the study was a dream job for the servants. It was easy work without exposure to the elements. In my previous life, I had stepped forward to announce that I could read, and Theresa had chosen me.

I had been overjoyed, but little did I know that working in the study would become the source of my nightmares.

This time, I was determined not to repeat the same mistake.

I remained silent. After a while, a timid voice behind me spoke up, "Theresa, I can read."

Theresa beckoned the young maid forward and asked her to write her name on a piece of paper.

The young maid awkwardly wrote the characters for "Rita."

Theresa nodded in satisfaction, looking at Rita with a gentle smile. "Nice name, and you look decent. Do your best in the study."

Rita was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Theresa, while the surrounding servants looked at her with envy.

I watched Theresa's gentle smile, but I shivered inwardly.

In my previous life, I had been deceived by Theresa's smile, naively believing she was kind to the servants. When she proposed to find me a good marriage, I had happily agreed. But I never expected that the bridal sedan would turn around and take me to a brothel in a remote part of Eryford.

I had been terrified, completely unaware of what was happening. The person who brought me there had looked at me with pity and said, "You got caught having an affair with the minister by Theresa. She doesn't tolerate such things. You should have expected this outcome when you seduced the minister."

The people at the brothel had dragged me in roughly. I cried out my innocence, but there was no chance to defend myself. From then on, I lived a hellish life.

It was all because the minister had whimsically given me a scented sachet, which became my death warrant. I became the lowest of prostitutes, abused daily by various men, contracting various diseases, and eventually dying in agony.

The thought of Theresa's deceitful face made me nauseous.

If she wanted to pretend to be virtuous in front of others, this time, I would personally reveal her true nature and disgrace her!

First, I had to start with the minister.

Everyone believed that the minister and Theresa were a perfect couple. The minister was the younger brother of the current empress, a man of high status and great talent. At a young age, he had already risen to the position of minister.

The emperor admired him greatly and had personally decreed his marriage. Theresa, carefully chosen for him, was the granddaughter of the Spencer family, known for her gentle and virtuous nature. She had been infatuated with the minister even before their marriage.

Standing together, they indeed looked like a perfect couple. But who would have thought that this seemingly perfect pair was actually a couple filled with resentment?

Theresa seemed gentle and virtuous but was actually very jealous. She had been infatuated with the minister for a long time and knew that he had once been childhood sweethearts with a girl who later became a concubine in the palace. This unfulfilled romance made her particularly sensitive to any woman around him.

If the minister spoke even a few more words to any woman, even a common servant, Theresa would become very jealous and sarcastic towards him.

With the memory of a gentle first love in his mind, the minister found his wife's constant nagging and jealousy intolerable. Although they appeared respectful to each other in public, they hardly interacted at home. As soon as the minister entered the residence, he would head straight to his study, completely avoiding Theresa's quarters.

I died as the "Queen," an elite assassin who leveled criminal syndicates, only to wake up in a damp trailer smelling of rot and stale tobacco. My new body belonged to Arleen Brewer, a malnourished teenager with a failing heart and a life defined by systemic poverty. A flickering blue light in my mind identified itself as a System, offering a devil's bargain: survive this life, and I could resurrect my dead brother, Dusty. To earn his return, I had to endure my alcoholic stepfather’s rage and a body so weak it struggled to even stand. At my elite prep school, the rich kids treated me like a walking corpse, covering my desk in trash and mocking my heart condition. Even my fiancé, Shen Wenyu, publicly branded me as "unstable" and stood by while the school's golden boy tried to humiliate me. They expected me to wither away, but they didn't realize a wolf was now wearing the sheep's skin. I shattered the bully’s nose with a metal tray and tore up my engagement contract in front of a stunned auditorium, only to be met with immediate threats of lawsuits and expulsion. I didn't understand how the original Arleen survived this suffocating injustice without breaking, but as the Queen, I was ready to turn this school into a war zone. Then Hale Clemons, the most dangerous man in the city, cornered me outside the principal's office. He saw through my mask, realizing his very presence was the only thing keeping my failing heart from stopping. "I’m not buying your loyalty," he said, handing me a gold-embossed card. "I’m investing in a weapon." I took the deal, ready to use his power to bring my brother back and bury everyone who ever looked down on Arleen Brewer.

The crystal chandeliers of the Reed family mansion dripped light onto the polished marble floor. It was my first wedding anniversary, a grand affair designed to broadcast stability to the business world. But the guest of honor wasn't me, the legal wife. It was Chloe Evans, my husband Ethan's publicly known mistress, her hand possessively resting on her rounded belly. "Ethan and I are so thrilled to announce that we're expecting. Our baby is a true blessing." Chloe's voice echoed, shattering the silence and my carefully constructed composure. All eyes turned to me, standing alone near the grand staircase, as the whispers of shock and pity washed over the room. My face was a mask of calm, but inside, a storm raged. After a year of marriage that was nothing more than a business contract, a foolish part of me had still hoped. That hope died a final, quiet death as I watched Ethan shield Chloe from the flashing cameras, confirming to the world I was just an obstacle. I took a slow sip of champagne, then walked towards them, my steps measured and confident. "Ethan," I said, ignoring Chloe. "Congratulations. I have a gift for you. For our anniversary." He looked surprised by my composure. "What is this?" he asked, suspicion lacing his tone. "Divorce papers," I announced, loud enough for those nearby to hear. "Signed by me. And a transfer of all my shares in Miller Corp, as stipulated in our prenuptial agreement. You' re free." A collective gasp filled the room. His arrogant smirk finally faltered. He had expected tears, a scene, a fight. He had not expected this clean, decisive severing. "You're giving it all up? Just like that?" he questioned, searching my face for a trick. A sharp pain stabbed through my abdomen-a secret I had been carrying for weeks. Pancreatic cancer. Late stage. Inoperable. The doctor's words from that afternoon echoed. The public humiliation, the betrayal, was nothing compared to the true devastation. I straightened, forcing down the pain. "Just like that. Because I'm tired of this game. You win." I turned to leave, but another wave of pain buckled my knees. "I'm fine," I breathed to my rushing assistant. "Just a little tired. I'm going home." But my destination wasn't home. It was the hospital. I was dying, and the man I loved was trying to torture me in my final days. He had brought his mistress into my childhood sanctuary, smashed the physical representation of my secret, cherished memory for him, and then publicly auctioned my wedding ring for a dollar. He was confirming I was nothing more than garbage to him. I stared at his cold, mocking eyes across the hospital room. He wanted a quick, clean divorce? No messy legal battles that could drag Reed Industries through the mud? I had a proposition. "You will spend the next seven days with me. Every minute. You'll do everything I say, go wherever I want you to go. You'll be my husband, for one last week." My voice, surprisingly strong, dropped to a challenging whisper. I had three months to live. Three months to fix him. I couldn't die and leave him like that.

The crisp Stanford acceptance letter felt like a cruel joke in my hands, a ghost from a life that ended in betrayal. I stared through it, past the promises, seeing Chloe and Brooke' s smiles, and the sterile white of the hospital room where my grandmother lay still. I remembered the twisted metal, the rain on my face, and Brooke running-not to me, bleeding on the pavement, but to Zoe, who had a mere scratch. My spirit lingered just long enough to hear their laughter, their celebration of sterilizing me, willing all my assets to Zoe. My life, my love, my trust – all a long, cruel punchline. Reborn into this sunlit room, with the future in my hand, I felt only a cold, clear purpose. Paper tore, then tore again, until the Stanford dream was confetti falling into the trash. Silicon Valley could wait. My phone buzzed with their fake concern: Chloe' s "Love you! 😘" and Brooke' s "So proud of you, Alex." I deleted them without a reply. Their words were poison, and I was finally immune. My grandmother, Susan, found me later, confused about my rejection of Stanford, Google, and Apple. I told her I wanted to stay, to protect her. The next day, whispers of "crazy" and "waste" followed me. Then they walked in: Chloe, Brooke, and the architect of my destruction, Zoe. She looked so plain, but her voice was pure venom, painting herself as the victim, accusing me of arrogance, of having everything handed to me. My fists clenched. Chloe and Brooke, who knew the truth, chose the lie. They weren't my friends. They were my enemies. I walked out. The game was on. This time, I knew the rules. And I was not going to lose.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge.
