Transcript
00:00I was adopted by the poor in my past life, while my sister Bianca by the rich.
00:04In less than five years, she got thrown out and died miserably on the streets.
00:08As for me, I studied hard and went abroad for my studies.
00:12With my adoptive brother, Julian Reed, we built our business empire from scratch.
00:16Later, with our parents' blessings, we got married and had children.
00:20I thought that was happily ever after.
00:22But unexpectedly, I was reborn, back to the day we were adopted.
00:27This time, Bianca makes a different choice.
00:30She rushes straight into Julian's arms and holds his parents' hands tightly.
00:35When she turns to me, her eyes are full of smug glee.
00:38You can suffer with the rich. That place devours people whole. I wouldn't stand it.
00:44My heart jolts. Is she reborn, too?
00:47I look at Julian, the man who had once loved me deeply.
00:51I hope he would speak up.
00:52But he shields Bianca firmly behind him.
00:54His gaze is ice cold.
00:56Stay away.
00:57At that moment, my last hope shatters.
01:00Under Bianca's gleeful gaze, I walk toward the Lincoln parked at the gate.
01:05Only a driver is inside.
01:07Just like last time, no one ever came personally.
01:10While driving, the driver warns me of the rules to follow at the Brooks.
01:14Mind your own business and do whatever they tell you to.
01:18Remember your place.
01:19I nod.
01:21The car enters a district full of greenery and stops before a palace-like mansion.
01:26I follow the driver in.
01:27A well-dressed woman sits on the couch, sipping tea.
01:30She looks up and studies me carefully.
01:33What's your name?
01:35Vivian.
01:35The orphanage director gave me that name.
01:37It means to be lively.
01:39The woman nods.
01:40From now on, you'll be Vivian Brooke.
01:42She tells the butler.
01:43Bring her up.
01:43I follow behind, my steps echoing on the marble floor.
01:47My hand brushes the antique railing.
01:49But none of these luxuries spark my interest.
01:51In my past life, I had earned them myself.
01:53I open the door.
01:54A spacious, luxurious room comes into view.
01:57The butler says,
01:58Ms. Brooke, this will be your room.
02:00Please rest here first.
02:01As I look at the delicate furnishings, excitement surges within me.
02:05In my past life, I managed to achieve a lot with no background.
02:09Now that I have the Brooke family resources, I can go even further.
02:13The door suddenly bursts open, and a basketball flies straight toward my head.
02:17It hits me with a thud, and my vision spins.
02:20An arrogant voice snapped.
02:22Pick up my ball, you country bumpkin.
02:24I turn to see a tall boy standing there, arrogant and aloof.
02:28The Brooke's only son, Jason.
02:30In my past life, a racing crash left him crippled and made him violent.
02:34I hand over the ball and greet him, just as the driver said.
02:38Here.
02:38He freezes before sneering.
02:41Sweet words.
02:41You think that earned you a share of our fortune?
02:44With that, he turned some leaves, leaving me there with my fist clenched.
02:49So life among the rich is full of thorns, and the real test had only just begun.
02:54After Jason left, the room falls quiet again.
02:57I look around my room.
02:58Crystal chandelier, soft carpets, and a huge walk-in closet.
03:02Every detail radiates luxury, but I know none of it is free.
03:06The Brooks didn't adopt me out of kindness, sure enough.
03:08The next morning, the butler brings in a packed class schedule.
03:12Mrs. Broke arranged these for you.
03:14It's one-on-one business management training.
03:16He pauses before adding,
03:18You'll also have tutors.
03:20Study hard, and it will benefit you.
03:23I scan the schedule.
03:24Management.
03:25Financial investment.
03:27My eyes sparkle.
03:28I learned them in business in my past life, but now I can learn them at 15.
03:32It's a precious chance.
03:34I'll study hard, I say firmly.
03:36The butler looks surprised, as if he doesn't expect me to agree.
03:40In the following days, I devote myself to it.
03:43High school work is effortless for me.
03:45I've learned all of it in my past life.
03:47Management courses are complex, but with my experience, I can grasp them easily.
03:53Teachers praise me constantly, often telling them to Mrs. Broke.
03:57Mrs. Broke is exceptionally smart.
03:59She's mastered all subjects and draws sharp insights from them.
04:03As Mrs. Broke listens, she looks more approving.
04:06One day, she pulls me down to sit and hands me an admission letter.
04:10Well done.
04:11Jason's grades are terrible, so help him.
04:13A pacing grade is enough.
04:15After graduation, I'll send both of you abroad.
04:17It's obvious she wants me to keep Jason in line.
04:20Thank you, Mom, I immediately say.
04:22Mrs. Broke is clearly pleased.
04:24Her grip on my hand, tightening.
04:27I know that.
04:28I've secured my place in the family.
04:31But Jason won't be easy to rein in.
04:35I didn't expect to run into Julian and Bianca again.
04:39As a reward, Mrs. Broke gives me a black card and lets me go out.
04:43This is the first time I step outside the villa.
04:45The driver drops me off downtown.
04:47I take a deep breath as I scan my surroundings.
04:50Soon, I spot a familiar figure.
04:53Bianca is under the sun, handing out flyers.
04:56She is soaked with sweat.
04:58Her face etched with exhaustion.
05:00The reeds only took her for free labor.
05:03I was the same last time.
05:05Hi, have a look.
05:06She hands one to me.
05:07But when she looks up, her words stop abruptly.
05:11Seeing my designer clothes and clear skin, jealousy flashes in her eyes before she hides it.
05:16Looks like you're living well.
05:17She smiles.
05:18Don't say I didn't warn you.
05:20Mrs. Broke is way scarier than you think.
05:23Oh, I answer lightly.
05:25It irritates her.
05:26So she starts gloating.
05:28They treat me very well.
05:30Julian even tutors me every day.
05:31We even got into Levo High.
05:33That was the school Mrs. Broke arranged for me.
05:35I had been admitted in my past life too.
05:38Our lives will only get better while you will die on the streets.
05:42Just as I am about to speak, a familiar voice calls out.
05:45Bianca.
05:46Julian walks over.
05:48Mom asked me to bring you lunch.
05:49You must be tired.
05:50Go rest.
05:51It's okay.
05:52I can handle it.
05:53Bianca smiles and hugs him.
05:55The reeds would rather pay for Julian's tuition than let Bianca take a break.
05:59Like in my past life.
06:00Only then does Julian notice me.
06:02He's cold and disgusted.
06:03My sister Vivian.
06:04Bianca introduces.
06:06He frowns.
06:07Don't talk to shady people.
06:08With that, he pulls Bianca away without letting me speak.
06:12Why were you so harsh, Julian?
06:14Silly girl.
06:15Stay away from people like her.
06:17Their harsh words drift over.
06:19But I simply walk into the mall.
06:20And buy lots with the black card.
06:23I run into Bianca and Julian as I leave the mall.
06:26Bianca is livid when she sees me carrying bags of luxury items.
06:32Tch, acting so lofty.
06:33You'll die eventually.
06:35But one day, we'll start our business.
06:37I smile and ignore her.
06:39These things aren't even for me.
06:41Back home, Jason is on the couch playing games.
06:45He spots the bags and smirks.
06:48Wasting money already?
06:49You think our money grows on trees?
06:52Jason.
06:53Mrs. Brooke comes downstairs and glares at him.
06:55She's your sister.
06:57I don't have a peasant sister.
06:58He scoffs.
06:59I ignore him and pull out the gift.
07:02Mom, this is for you.
07:04I hand her a champagne silk scarf.
07:06She pauses.
07:07Her eyes sparkling with surprise.
07:10I also give gifts to the household staff.
07:12Jason's face darkens at the sight.
07:16Don't think a few trinkets can buy loyalty.
07:18Here.
07:19This is for you.
07:20I hand him the last gift.
07:22It's a limited edition racing model.
07:24He freezes.
07:24His ears reddening as he stares at it.
07:27Not bad.
07:28He mutters.
07:29He then snatches it and rushes upstairs.
07:32Mrs. Brooke shakes her head at him.
07:34But looks at me with warmth.
07:36Viv, you're much more sensible than he is.
07:38I just smile.
07:39To thrive here?
07:40Skill alone isn't enough.
07:42I must understand their hearts.
07:44It's the first day of school.
07:46At the door?
07:46I see Jason's car.
07:48He honks impatiently.
07:51Hurry up!
07:52I grin and run.
07:54Wait for me!
07:55I smile and open the passenger door.
07:57Who's waiting?
07:58Jason rolls his eyes.
08:00Mom forced me.
08:01Don't overthink it.
08:02I don't call him out.
08:04Instead, I hand him breakfast.
08:06Mom said one each.
08:07You haven't eaten yet.
08:08His face hardens as he takes it and tosses it into the compartment.
08:12Who eats this stuff?
08:13The car pulls up to Levo High.
08:15Before getting out, he warns.
08:17Don't tell anyone you're my sister.
08:20Keep our relationship a secret, or else.
08:23Got it.
08:23I nod.
08:24At the gate, I hear whispers.
08:26That's Julian?
08:27The city's top student is so hot!
08:31That's his sister, Bianca.
08:33She also ranks high, at 15th place.
08:35I look up.
08:36The two of them are surrounded by classmates.
08:38Bianca spots me.
08:39She smiles and calls out for all to hear.
08:43What a coincidence!
08:44You got in too?
08:46Must be easy for you with the brooks.
08:49Meanwhile, we had to fight to get in.
08:52Her words are full of mockery.
08:54All eyes turn to me at once.
08:56Curious and judging.
08:58I ignore her and walk on.
09:00Bianca.
09:01Julian pulls her behind him.
09:03His gaze is full of disdain.
09:05I told you not to talk to her.
09:07My sister isn't a bad person.
09:09Bianca feigns innocence.
09:10Who knows?
09:11People are complicated.
09:12Julian says coldly.
09:14I shrug.
09:15Uninterested.
09:16And head toward the classroom.
09:18Just as I enter, Bianca and Julian walk in too.
09:21Unexpectedly, we're in the same class.
09:23High school's not going to be peaceful.
09:26Seats are arranged by grades.
09:28I sit by the window in the front.
09:30Julian sits diagonally ahead with Bianca beside him.
09:34The day is packed.
09:35I take out the notes Mrs. Brooke gave me and start reading.
09:39My past experience tells me that this knowledge will be useful someday.
09:43Bianca keeps glancing back, her eyes full of jealousy.
09:46But I ignore her.
09:48After school, I head to the gate to meet Jason.
09:51Mrs. Brooke insisted we go home together so I could keep an eye on him.
09:56He didn't want to.
09:58But he couldn't refuse her either.
10:00So he agreed to it.
10:01After a short wait, he casually strolls over with a small boxed cake in his hand.
10:06Here.
10:07He shoves it into my hands, avoiding my gaze.
10:10Girls in my class enjoy this.
10:11Throw it away if you don't.
10:13Thanks.
10:13I like it.
10:14Warmth spreads in my chest as I accept it.
10:16His expression turns awkward.
10:18Don't get the wrong idea.
10:19I just don't like owing people.
10:21During the week, he brings me different snacks every day.
10:25From fries to fruits and yogurt, he has practically bought out every snack.
10:29Things ease between us.
10:31He stops mocking me and sometimes chats about school.
10:35One day after class, I wait for him as usual.
10:38But he doesn't show up.
10:39Students nearby whisper.
10:41You heard?
10:42Jason's racing someone at the hill.
10:44That road's dangerous.
10:45He's got guts.
10:47My heart drops.
10:48Memories from my past life fled back.
10:50Jason had been sabotaged in that race.
10:53And the crash left him crippled.
10:54I can't let it happen again.
10:57I run at full speed.
10:58The hill road is rugged.
11:00Pebbles cut into my feet.
11:02But I don't care.
11:03I just need to stop Jason.
11:05From afar, I hear the roar of engines and the crowd cheering.
11:09When I arrive, Jason's red car races a black one.
11:14They're fast.
11:16Stop!
11:16Don't race!
11:17I shout as I rush forward.
11:18But my voice is drowned out by the noise.
11:21No one hears me.
11:23Then, it happens.
11:24Jason's car suddenly loses control.
11:26Bolting off the track like a wild horse.
11:28It slams straight into a nearby rockery.
11:31The crash is deafening.
11:32The car crumples, scattering glass everywhere.
11:35The crowd flees in panic.
11:37Leaving a few men grinning cruelly.
11:41Jason!
11:42I rush over like a madwoman and try to pry open the door.
11:45Suddenly, a force yanks me back.
11:47I'm thrown hard to the ground.
11:48My elbows and knees burn with pain.
11:51Your brother?
11:52A burly man squats before me.
11:53His stare vicious.
11:55Call an ambulance!
11:56He's dying!
11:57I struggle to get up.
11:58The man sneers, grabs my chin, and pats my face mockingly.
12:02He offended our boss.
12:04Want to save him?
12:05Dream on.
12:06This is murder!
12:06This is illegal!
12:08I glare at him.
12:08Illegal?
12:09Our boss is the law.
12:10He slaps me hard across the face.
12:12Blood fills my mouth as I glare back in fury.
12:15I shove him away and slap him back hard.
12:18I've already called the police.
12:20The man is stunned.
12:21When he snaps, fury erupts.
12:23You brat!
12:24How dare you!
12:25He snatches my phone and smashes it to the ground.
12:28The screen shatters.
12:30Another man rushes and kicks me to the ground.
12:32Fists rain down on me.
12:34Stop!
12:35I curl up, screaming through pain.
12:37Through the blur, I see two familiar figures.
12:40Julian and Bianca are standing among the crowd, watching the scene.
12:43Save me!
12:45I shout, eyes pleading.
12:47Julian instinctively steps forward.
12:50Bianca pulls him back.
12:51Don't meddle!
12:52They're dangerous.
12:54She's better off dead.
12:55Her voice is sharp and cruel.
12:57I look at Julian.
12:58He looks conflicted, but he lowers his head.
13:01As Bianca pulls him away, the last hope in my heart shatters.
13:05The person who once loved me dearly now watches me die without helping.
13:10Calling for help?
13:11The burly man sneers as he pulls out a sledgehammer.
13:14No one's ever dared hit me.
13:17You'll pay for it.
13:18He raises the hammer and swings it down at me.
13:21I shut my eyes in despair.
13:22Is this where my second life ends?
13:25The pain I expect never comes.
13:27Muffled groans sound beside me.
13:29I snap my eyes open.
13:30Jason has somehow climbed out of the wrecked car and is standing before me.
13:36Blood drips from his mouth onto my face.
13:39I rush forward.
13:41Why are you so stupid?
13:43Leave me and go!
13:44His breathing is weak.
13:45With his last strength, he pushes me back.
13:48We're leaving together!
13:49I cling to him tight.
13:51I sob hard.
13:52Shut up!
13:52The man grabs my hair and yanks me up.
13:55If he wants to protect you so badly, just die together.
13:58He throws me aside.
13:59I crash to the ground.
14:01My head's spinning.
14:02He kicks Jason in the chest, making him curl in pain.
14:06Don't hit my brother!
14:08I charge forward and cling to the man.
14:11Get off!
14:12He kicks me and shouts to his men.
14:14Beat him to death!
14:15Several men rush forward, kicking and punching Jason.
14:18Seeing him covered in blood, rage hits me.
14:21I spot an iron rod on the ground.
14:24I grab it and swing wildly at them.
14:26Stop!
14:27Like a cornered beast, I lash out without thinking.
14:30They didn't expect me to be this crazy.
14:33My charge finally forces them apart.
14:36I rush to Jason and help him up.
14:38He's barely conscious and covered in injuries.
14:41He has to lean on me just to stand.
14:44Hang on!
14:44We'll get out of here!
14:46Gritting my teeth.
14:47I drag us forward.
14:49Thanks to my martial arts tutor, I'm stronger than before.
14:52I could support Jason's weight.
14:54But after only a few steps, footsteps sounded.
14:57Running away?
14:58The burly man and his gang catch up and block our path.
15:01He drags an iron rod across the ground.
15:03Screeches pierce the air.
15:05Neither of you leaves today.
15:07Jason murmurs weakly.
15:09Just leave.
15:11No!
15:11I hold him tighter.
15:13We're going together.
15:14Touching!
15:15The man sneers.
15:17Clapping slowly.
15:18His eyes turn cold.
15:19But it ends here.
15:20He kicks me in the stomach.
15:22I double over.
15:23And Jason also collapses.
15:24The men close in.
15:26Their iron rods gleaming coldly.
15:28Get them!
15:30Just as they charge.
15:31Piercing sirens cut through the air.
15:33The man's face changes as it grows louder.
15:36Damn it!
15:36Cops!
15:37They try to flee.
15:38But police cars roar in.
15:41Police officers surround them.
15:43Stop!
15:44Put your hands up!
15:45I relax at the sight of police.
15:48Then everything goes black.
15:50I wake the next afternoon.
15:52The faint smell of disinfectant hits my nose.
15:56Viv!
15:57You're awake!
15:58Mrs. Broke sits at my bedside.
15:59Eyes red.
16:00Holding my hand tightly.
16:02How do you feel?
16:03Any pain?
16:04Jason.
16:04How is he?
16:05I croak.
16:06Worry filling my voice.
16:08Tears fall from her eyes.
16:10Still in surgery.
16:12His injuries are severe.
16:13My heart sinks as I try to get up.
16:16The surgeon emerges from the O.R.
16:19He takes his mask off, smiling.
16:21It went well.
16:23His leg is saved.
16:24Really?
16:25We both rush forward.
16:27He received treatment just in time.
16:29Any later?
16:30And he'd have lost his leg.
16:31He also has severe back trauma.
16:33But a good rest will fix it.
16:36Mrs. Broke hugs me, speechless.
16:39Tears stream down freely.
16:41As long as he's safe.
16:43Two days later, Jason wakes.
16:45Mrs. Broke scolds him, saying he shouldn't race or mix with shady people.
16:51He'd usually glare impatiently.
16:53But this time, he just quietly listens.
16:56His eyes never leaves me.
16:58When Mrs. Broke is done, he asks,
17:01Viv, are you all right?
17:02It's the first time he calls me that.
17:05We freeze.
17:06Mrs. Broke can't believe it.
17:08Viv.
17:11Viv, my sister.
17:13Mrs. Broke's eyes redden as she pats my shoulder.
17:16You two really are siblings now.
17:18I know this means the Broke's fully accept me.
17:21I'm no longer just a tool to keep Jason in check.
17:24He looks at me.
17:25A faint smile on his lips.
17:27I'll protect you.
17:29No more suffering.
17:30I nod.
17:31Warmth flooding me.
17:33I tell the police about the sabotaging.
17:35They pull the surveillance footage and find solid evidence.
17:38Along with assault charges, the men are sentenced to different prison terms.
17:43Jason is hospitalized for three months.
17:46I took leave from school to care for him and help him catch up on his studies.
17:50Although he never enjoyed studying, he's smart and grasps concepts instantly.
17:55He tries to slack off, but settles down after a few scoldings.
17:58I feel gratified watching him work hard.
18:01In this life, I change not just my fate, but his too.
18:06When Jason fully recovers, we return to school together.
18:09It's just in time for the monthly exam.
18:12A perfect chance to test his progress.
18:14After the exam, I see Julian and Bianca.
18:17Bianca's face frees an exaggerated surprise.
18:20You're back?
18:21I thought you dropped out.
18:23Her tone seems caring, but her eyes are full of glee.
18:26I ignore her and start to leave with Jason.
18:29Wait!
18:29Julian calls out suddenly.
18:31His gaze is complex, no longer disdainful.
18:34You're okay, right?
18:35I feel nothing recalling how he left me to die.
18:38None of your business.
18:39He steps forward.
18:41I have something to tell you.
18:42He grabs my wrist.
18:43Hands off!
18:44Jason immediately shields me and glares fiercely at Julian.
18:48What do you want?
18:50Julian, let's go.
18:51Lips moving to speak.
18:53Let's go.
18:54Don't waste time with him.
18:55Bianca rushes up and pulls Julian away.
18:58He keeps glancing back at me, full of regret and frustration.
19:02Jason snorts.
19:03Stay away from them.
19:04They're no good.
19:05I know.
19:06I nod.
19:07Jason suddenly grins proudly.
19:09This exam.
19:10I'll join your class when I rank top 30.
19:12I believe in you.
19:13I smile.
19:14A week later, everyone rushed to check their ranking.
19:17Jason and I squeeze through.
19:19As expected, I still top the grade.
19:22Seeing Jason's name, I can't help but smile.
19:25He had risen to 28th place.
19:28It's just enough to get into my class.
19:30I did it.
19:31Jason hugs me, excitedly.
19:33Viv, I get to be in your class.
19:35Everyone around is stunned.
19:37No one expected him to make such progress.
19:40Congrats.
19:41I say, genuinely happy.
19:43A voice cuts through.
19:44Impossible.
19:45This is impossible.
19:46Bianca rushes over, pointing at the scores.
19:49Face pale as chalk.
19:50Jason was supposed to be disabled.
19:52How could he score this well?
19:54Vivian, you must have cheated.
19:55Her accusation draws a bigger crowd.
19:57Yeah, she's been on leave for months.
19:59How can she be first?
20:01Jason used to struggle.
20:03Reaching the top 30 is impossible.
20:05Bianca's grins grew even wider.
20:08I know you cheated.
20:09I'm going to tell the principal.
20:11She spins and storms away.
20:14Julian stops her, but she yanks free.
20:16No, I'm going to expose their true colors.
20:19Before long, Jason and I are called to the principal's office.
20:22Bianca stands to the side, gloating.
20:24Mr. Gray, they must have cheated.
20:26No way they can score so well.
20:28Mr. Gray looks at us calmly.
20:30Vivian, Jason, the school will investigate this fairly.
20:33Don't worry.
20:34The school pulls the exam room footage and arranges a test for us.
20:37It's just as hard as the monthly test.
20:40Jason and I finish smoothly, with scores nearly identical as before.
20:45It's clear we didn't cheat.
20:47Bianca goes pale in disbelief.
20:49Impossible.
20:50No way.
20:51Mr. Gray frowns.
20:52Bianca, your rumors disrupted school order.
20:55The school shall issue a warning and demerit.
20:58No, you can't do this.
20:59Bianca screams like crazy.
21:01They cheated.
21:02The Brooks bought you off.
21:03She lashes out at Mr. Gray, and his face hardens.
21:08Outrageous.
21:08You're now expelled.
21:11Bianca freezes, then breaks into tears.
21:14I won't leave.
21:16I'm not wrong.
21:17Her parents soon arrive, bringing gifts to plead forgiveness.
21:21Seeing their sincerity, her expulsion is lifted, but the warning stays.
21:26Thus, Bianca keeps her spot, but becomes a joke.
21:30Since the incident, Bianca changes completely.
21:32At school, she grows hypersensitive, always fearing others talk behind her back.
21:38A single glance her way sparks confrontations.
21:41Everyone ultimately avoids her.
21:43Even Julian, who once cared for her, starts distancing himself.
21:47His grades, already affected by past events, fall further because of Bianca.
21:52He keeps failing, dropping to the lowest class.
21:56The teacher warns him he could be expelled if he doesn't study.
22:01Not stopping to reflect, Bianca storms into the office.
22:06You have a crush on Julian.
22:08You're keeping him away from me.
22:10Her emotions run loose as she screams.
22:13In the struggle, she pushes the teacher, breaking her leg.
22:16The school shows no mercy.
22:19Bianca is expelled for intentional harm, with no chance to appeal.
22:23Her parents exhaust their savings, but nothing changes.
22:28Bianca loses all chance of schooling and seethes at home.
22:32After Bianca's expulsion, the school finally settles down.
22:35Jason and I end up in the same class.
22:37He sits beside me and studies harder than ever.
22:40With his sharp mind and effort, his grades rise steadily.
22:43His rank soon reaches the top ten.
22:45Everyone sees him differently now.
22:47No one dares mock him anymore.
22:49One day, I'm doing math in class, when a beautifully wrapped cake is set before me.
22:54Study break!
22:54Have some!
22:55Jason grins widely.
22:57Thanks!
22:58I take the cake.
22:59I'm about to open it.
23:00When I notice someone.
23:02Julian is standing under the trees.
23:04Eyes hollow.
23:05Hair disheveled.
23:06He looks miserably worn down.
23:09That once proud top student has come to this.
23:12I ignore him and look away.
23:14Whatever we had ended when he left me to die.
23:17He lingers for a long time until the bell rings.
23:21Jason follows my gaze and scoffs.
23:23Ignore him.
23:24He deserves it.
23:25I know.
23:26I nod and return to my work.
23:28With the SAT approaching, studies intensify.
23:31Both Jason and I work toward our goals.
23:33Mrs. Brooke helped us apply overseas.
23:35We passed the admission test, but still chose to finish the SAT, giving our high school years
23:41a proper ending.
23:42The day the SAT ends, the whole campus erupts with cheers.
23:46The students celebrate the end of this battle.
23:49Jason sneaks out of school and brings back snacks, giving them to me.
23:53Share them with your roommates to celebrate.
23:55After that, he rushes off again to celebrate with his friends.
23:59As I reach the dorm building, I sense someone behind me.
24:03Who is it?
24:04I turn back warily.
24:06A tall, thin figure steps out.
24:08It's Julian.
24:09Looking thinner.
24:10His sunken eyes look exhausted.
24:12How did you do?
24:13He asks hoarsely.
24:14None of your business.
24:15I say coldly.
24:16I turn to leave.
24:17Viv.
24:18Julian suddenly calls out.
24:20His tone urgent.
24:21I've something to say.
24:22I stop, but don't turn around.
24:24That day, I wanted to save you.
24:26He sounds guilty.
24:27But Bianca was holding me tightly.
24:29I wanted to rush over, but I...
24:31That's enough.
24:32It's in the past.
24:33Leave it there.
24:34No, listen to me.
24:36Julian quickly steps in front of me.
24:38His eyes full of pain.
24:39I've had nightmares since.
24:41I keep dreaming of our past.
24:42Of us studying together.
24:44Studying abroad and starting a business together.
24:46And even getting married.
24:48My heart jolts.
24:49He's been reborn too.
24:50Viv, those weren't dreams, right?
24:52Julian grabs my arm, clearly agitated.
24:54That was our past life.
24:56We were husband and wife and spent a lifetime together.
24:59I shake off his hand, stepping back to distance myself.
25:02That's just nonsense.
25:03It's not.
25:04Julian says urgently.
25:06I remember you like cake and the struggles of our business.
25:09I also remember our wedding and our child.
25:12Everything he says really happened in my past life.
25:15I have to admit, he remembers his past life.
25:18So what?
25:19I ask coldly.
25:20This life is different from the past.
25:22We're no longer tied together.
25:23The moment you abandoned me, it was over for us.
25:27Julian's face turns pale.
25:29His eyes full of despair.
25:30I know I was wrong.
25:32Viv, give me one more chance.
25:34Let's start over.
25:35Impossible.
25:36I refuse without hesitation.
25:37I'm now Jason's sister.
25:39I'm a member of the Brooke family.
25:41Our lives will never cross again.
25:43After that, I turn toward the dorm.
25:45Viv!
25:45Julian shouts behind me.
25:47He chokes out.
25:48I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes.
25:50I don't look back and walk faster.
25:53Some mistakes, once made, can never be undone.
25:56Back in the dorm, my roommates notice I'm upset and ask what happened.
26:00I'm fine.
26:01I try to forget, Julian.
26:02The past is in the past.
26:04I must move on.
26:05The next day, I pack up my things.
26:07The Brooke family car is waiting downstairs.
26:09Jason is here to help carry my luggage.
26:11Viv, let's go home.
26:13Okay.
26:13I nod and smile.
26:15I don't dwell on any unpleasant memories.
26:17My old grudges and conflicts will stay on that campus.
26:20Sat, results arrive.
26:22Jason and I get our scores.
26:24I'm rank first, and he's among the top five.
26:27At the same time, we get admission letters from the same top overseas university.
26:32Mrs. Brooke is overjoyed and organizes a grand 18th birthday party.
26:37At the party, Mrs. Brooke holds our hands and proudly introduces us.
26:41These are my children.
26:42They'll be going abroad to further their studies.
26:44Everyone congratulates us.
26:46Their gazes toward us are full of envy.
26:49Jason is unusually quiet.
26:50He stands beside me, simply smiling in thanks.
26:54I take in the scene, my heart full.
26:56I've gained not just wealth and status, but a real family.
27:00The pain of the past has fueled my growth.
27:03I know that I'll have a bright future.
27:05After the party, our departure date draws closer.
27:08Jason and I have packed for the trip.
27:10Mrs. Brooke has arranged everything.
27:12I'm busy with documents.
27:13When Jason comes over, Viv, let's go shopping.
27:17We can relax a little too.
27:19I nod, and we head to the mall.
27:21Just as we enter a store, I spot a familiar figure.
27:24Bianca is in a cheap uniform, showing clothes to customers.
27:28She looks at me with fatigue and frustration.
27:31Her eyes dripping venom.
27:33Clenching his fists, Jason frowns.
27:35Leave her.
27:36Let's go.
27:37I nod.
27:38As I turn to leave, Bianca suddenly calls out.
27:41Her tone is sharp.
27:42Don't be so smug.
27:43Aren't you just lucky?
27:44If I had chosen the Brooke family, I'd have had all this glory.
27:48All you have is mine.
27:49I pause, then turn around.
27:52You made your bed.
27:53So lie in it.
27:54You gave up on the Brooke family.
27:56So why blame others now?
27:58Bianca's face reddens, and she trembles angrily.
28:01I won't let you off.
28:02Just you wait.
28:04I'll be waiting.
28:05I smile.
28:06As I pull Jason away, he scoffs.
28:08She's just jealous.
28:09Don't take it to heart.
28:11I know.
28:11I nod.
28:12I feel nothing for Bianca now.
28:14One day, Jason and I go to the hospital.
28:16To visit the teacher Bianca pushed.
28:19She is recovering well.
28:23Congrats on getting into a great school.
28:26We say in unison, Jason, you've changed a lot.
28:29I'm so proud of you, she says.
28:32When you go overseas, keep working hard.
28:34Don't disappoint your mother.
28:36I will.
28:37Then, we visit the director at the orphanage.
28:41What a surprise, Vivian.
28:43Jason, you came to see me.
28:45Of course.
28:45I smile.
28:47We leave tomorrow.
28:48So we came to say goodbye.
28:50The director's eyes redden.
28:52That's good.
28:53You'll both have bright futures.
28:54Vivian, you were always sensible.
28:57I knew you'd succeed one day.
28:58Thanks for everything.
29:00My heart warms.
29:01And we head home.
29:02After a while.
29:04Mrs. Brooke prepares dinner.
29:05Full of our favorites.
29:07Eat more.
29:08Mrs. Brooke piles food on our plates.
29:10She seems reluctant.
29:12We'll come back during the holidays.
29:14Jason says.
29:15I'll be waiting.
29:17Mrs. Brooke's eyes are red.
29:18We talk for a long time about life abroad.
29:21And our future plans.
29:23This is a warm moment for our family.
29:25Mrs. Brooke sees us to the airport.
29:27Take care of yourselves.
29:29Stay safe.
29:30She holds my hand and says.
29:32If anything happens, call me.
29:34Don't suffer in silence.
29:36Mom, I know.
29:37I tear up slightly.
29:39And you.
29:39She looks at Jason.
29:41Don't cause trouble like before.
29:43Listen to your sister.
29:45And take care of her.
29:46Yes, Mom.
29:47I'll do that.
29:48Jason says seriously.
29:50Mrs. Brooke hugs us.
29:51Go on.
29:52I'll wait for your return.
29:54Hi, Mom.
29:55We wave and walk past security.
29:57As we near the boarding gate, I see a familiar figure.
30:01It's Julian in a worn-out shirt.
30:04With a ticket in hand, he looks at us longingly.
30:07He quickly walks over.
30:08Viv.
30:09Jason.
30:11Jason's guarded and wary.
30:13What do you want?
30:14I mean no harm.
30:15Julian smiles wryly.
30:16Viv.
30:17I got in your school.
30:18I'm an exchange student.
30:19We're in the same uni.
30:20My heart suddenly sinks.
30:22Julian is following me.
30:24Don't delude yourself.
30:26Jason glares at Julian.
30:28Viv doesn't care.
30:29Just give up.
30:30Ignoring him.
30:31Julian looks at me with resolve.
30:33Viv.
30:34I know I was wrong.
30:35I'll make it up to you.
30:36No matter how long it takes.
30:38That's enough.
30:39I say coldly.
30:41Julian.
30:41I've made it clear.
30:42We're over.
30:43Don't bother chasing me abroad.
30:46You're not in my life anymore.
30:48Then, I go to the gate with Jason.
30:51Viv!
30:52Jason shouts in despair.
30:55I board the plane without looking back.
30:58Jason comforts me.
31:00Viv.
31:00Ignore him.
31:01He can't bother you abroad.
31:03I know.
31:03I nod.
31:04Looking out the window.
31:06The plane takes off, flying toward a distant land.
31:10I'm emotional.
31:12I escape the past at last.
31:14I'm going after my future.
31:16Neither Julian nor Bianca can affect me now.
31:20I message Mrs. Brooke.
31:22Mom, we've taken off.
31:23Mrs. Brooke replies.
31:25Take care of yourselves.
31:27Love you both.
31:27I smile in relief.
31:29The future's bright.
31:31I won't waste it.
31:33After more than ten hours, the plane finally lands.
31:37The driver Mrs. Brooke arranged waits and takes us to our apartment.
31:42It's luxurious and close to our school.
31:45This is our home now.
31:47Jason says excitedly.
31:49And I nod.
31:51We unpack.
31:52And in the following days, we get familiar with the area.
31:55Studying abroad is different.
31:58It's freer, but emphasizes independent study.
32:01Our majors are different.
32:04I pick finance.
32:05And he picks computer science.
32:07On my first day, I settle into a seat.
32:10I soon hear a familiar voice.
32:12It's you.
32:13I look up at Julian.
32:14Stunned.
32:15Why is he here?
32:16He smiles, walks over, and sits.
32:19I chose the same major as you.
32:21We're classmates now.
32:23You did it on purpose.
32:24I just want to be close to you.
32:27I won't disturb you.
32:29I just want to protect you.
32:31I say nothing and change seats.
32:34I just want to avoid him.
32:36Jason's angry.
32:37He's too much.
32:38He even followed you here.
32:40Ignore him.
32:41Focus on studying.
32:42I comfort him.
32:43Only time can prove my resolve to shake off Julian.
32:47The days slowly pass.
32:48I fully devote myself to the difficult courses.
32:51With my past experience, studying isn't hard.
32:54So I always rank at the top.
32:56Earning praise.
32:58Jason also works hard.
33:00Computer science, CS, is tough.
33:03But he enjoys learning it.
33:05His grades are good.
33:06Julian doesn't bother me.
33:08Only greeting me occasionally.
33:10However, I only nod coldly.
33:13One day, Jason and I attend a welcome party.
33:17There were many great performances.
33:20Midway, Julian stops me in the hall.
33:23Viv, I've something to say.
33:25He sped.
33:27I've nothing to say to you.
33:28Just five minutes.
33:30I'm not asking for forgiveness.
33:34I just want you to know I truly loved you.
33:37Have you forgotten all we've been through?
33:39I haven't, but it's all in the past.
33:42I shake off his hand.
33:44Julian, wake up.
33:45It's over.
33:46No, it's not.
33:49We can start over.
33:51Just then, Jason arrives.
33:53What is this?
33:54Let go of Viv.
33:55He stands before me.
33:57Julian looks at Jason.
33:59His gaze resentful.
34:00I just wanted a word with Viv.
34:02You've nothing.
34:03Jason glares at Julian.
34:05I'm warning you.
34:05Stay away from her.
34:06Or I won't be so polite.
34:08Then, Jason pulls me back to the party.
34:11He's still angry.
34:12Julian just won't go away.
34:14It's not worth being angry.
34:16After this, Julian seems to understand my resolve.
34:19And stops bothering me.
34:21Sometimes he just watches me quietly from a distance.
34:25Our lives slowly get on track.
34:28Aside studying, Jason and I join some clubs and make new friends.
34:32One day, Jason runs back excitedly.
34:34Viv, I joined the racing club.
34:36I freeze for a moment.
34:37Worried.
34:38Jason, did you forget your past?
34:40Don't worry.
34:41I won't be reckless like before.
34:43Jason smiles.
34:44This club is very proper.
34:45With professional coaches.
34:47It's just a hobby.
34:48I won't be in any danger.
34:49I nod at his expectant gaze.
34:52All right, but be sure to stay safe.
34:54I know.
34:55Jason happily agrees.
34:56I know.
34:57Racing is his passion.
34:58I can't take away his joy because of the past accident.
35:02As long as he's safe.
35:03Jason excels at the racing club.
35:05With his talent and caution, he quickly becomes a core member.
35:09He often competes in amateur races and consistently gets good results.
35:14I'm glad to see him so happy.
35:16One day, Jason joins an important race.
35:18I'm there to cheer for him.
35:20The race is fierce.
35:22Jason is in the lead.
35:23All the way until the final lap.
35:25Suddenly, his car malfunctions.
35:27And he clearly slows down.
35:29The racers behind seize the chance and overtake him.
35:32Jason ends up in second place.
35:34After the race, I rush over.
35:36Jason, are you okay?
35:37I'm fine.
35:38He shakes his head.
35:39His expression's serious.
35:41The car looks tampered with.
35:42My heart sinks.
35:44Again?
35:44Are you sure?
35:45I ask nervously.
35:47Yes, I checked.
35:48The brakes were sabotaged.
35:50He says.
35:51Fortunately, I found out early, so there was no danger.
35:53Who did this?
35:55I think of Bianca.
35:56But she's far away.
35:58Is it Julian?
35:59Jason and I file a police report and notify the club.
36:03The club pulls the surveillance footage and quickly finds a lead.
36:07The night before the race, someone had tampered with Jason's car in the repair area.
36:14When we review the footage, we're shocked to see Bianca.
36:17How did she get abroad?
36:19She's actually here.
36:20Jason's stunned and shocked.
36:22Bianca sure is persistent.
36:24She even came abroad just to harm us.
36:27The police quickly find Bianca and arrest her.
36:29Faced with evidence, Bianca confesses.
36:33She envies all I have and hates her life.
36:35So she tried to hurt Jason to hurt me.
36:38In the end, she's sentenced to two years in prison for damaging property and endangering public safety.
36:43Learning this, I feel no sympathy.
36:46After all, it's all her own doing.
36:48When Julian finds out, he guiltily approaches me.
36:51Viv, I'm sorry.
36:53Bianca became like this because of me.
36:55Not your fault.
36:56She brought it on herself.
36:57I say coldly.
36:58After this, Julian completely disappears, never showing up again.
37:02Jason and I finally return to peace.
37:05With Bianca's issue resolved, Jason and I focus on our studies.
37:09Time passes quickly.
37:10In the blink of an eye, four years pass.
37:13I graduate with top grades and a full master scholarship.
37:17Jason also graduates and gets many great offers, but rejects them all.
37:22Viv, I want to start a business.
37:24Jason says earnestly.
37:25I want to build a racing brand and create the safest, best racing gear.
37:29I'll back you.
37:30I smiled and say, if you need funds, I can help.
37:34Really?
37:34That's great.
37:35With an expert like you helping, I'll definitely succeed.
37:39I use my savings and borrow from Mrs. Brooke to fund Jason's startup.
37:44Jason starts his company.
37:46With his expertise and passion for racing, the company quickly grows.
37:51His equipment is safe and high quality.
37:53They're loved by many racing fans.
37:56I'm happy that Jason realized his dream.
37:59Meanwhile, during my master's, I begin preparing my own investment firm.
38:04My past life experiences gives me a sharp eye for the market.
38:09In this life, I'll definitely build a more successful business empire.
38:13After my investment firm is founded, with precise investment judgment, it quickly gains a foothold.
38:19I invest in several promising startups, all bringing good returns.
38:23Jason's company also grows, becoming a leader in racing gear.
38:27Jason and I are gaining fame overseas.
38:30Hearing this, Mrs. Brooke is proud.
38:33My children, you're amazing.
38:35One day, I get a call from the orphanage.
38:38Vivian, I have good news.
38:39The orphanage is expanding.
38:41Many people supported us.
38:43The director sounds pleased.
