Reborn To Tame The Insomniac Monster

Yue Manshuang Billionaires

“I thought my best friend Mila and my lover Preston were my only salvation from Essex Langley, the ruthless billionaire who kept me caged in his estate. I trusted them blindly when they planned my grand escape. But it was all a cruel setup. Mila deliberately leaked the plan to Essex's guards to win his favor, and Preston only wanted my family's shares to pay off his massive debts. When we were caught in the rose garden, Preston shoved me toward the guards and ran for his life. "You're insane if you think I actually loved a freak like you!" I was dragged back into the manor, my ribs cracking under heavy boots. I bled out on the freezing marble floor, staring into Essex's unhinged, mad eyes as I took my last agonizing breath. Until the moment I died, I couldn't accept it. I had ruined my own life, adopting a hideous punk look with fake tattoos and piercings just to make Essex hate me, all for two people who saw me as nothing but a sacrificial lamb. Why was my blind rebellion rewarded with such a brutal betrayal? Opening my eyes again, the white-hot pain was gone. I was back in the freezing bedroom on my eighteenth birthday, the very night Mila would come to orchestrate my ruin. I looked at the rebellious, smudged stranger in the mirror. This time, I calmly washed off the black makeup, took out my lip ring, and put on a pristine white dress. If fighting the devil got me killed, then in this life, I would tame him and make them all pay.”
