I estimated my SAT score to be 1400, while Chloe, a fellow scholarship student, estimated hers at 1500. My boyfriend broke up with me on the spot, and I was promptly kicked out of the class group chat. Facing everyone's mockery, my expression didn't change a bit. Because in my past life, Chloe asked me for my estimated score, and I truthfully answered 1550+. I also revealed my true identity to her: I had been switched at birth with the richest girl in our class. She excitedly toasted me with a glass of wine. But when I woke up the next day, I found myself with Chloe's face. News of the heiress of the Lin Group reuniting with her family popped up on my phone, and I watched helplessly as my own face appeared on the screen. I tried to leave, but the door was locked. Eventually, I was murdered, my body dumped in a stinking ditch on the outskirts of the city. In the end, it was the "fake heiress," the spoiled and willful girl I had resented for so long, who sensed something was wrong and sought justice for me. Opening my eyes again, I was back at the graduation party right after the college entrance exams. 1 "Susan, tell us your score! Let us be amazed by our top student." Chloe ran up to me, eyes shining, drawing the attention of our classmates. Someone sighed, "Susan really is a winner in life. Always top of the class, and dating the school hottie." "Soon we won't even be in the same world. Susan will be fighting off offers from Harvard and Stanford." My boyfriend, Justin, couldn't hide the smile on his face. He sat beside me, looking at me tenderly. Everyone seemed happy for me, especially Chloe, whose eyes were practically glued to me. We were similar in build, the two poorest scholarship students in our grade. I once considered her my sister, telling her everything without reservation. But I never expected that this so-called best friend was ready to swap faces and replace me tonight. "Susan, don't hide it! Show us your estimated score. I'm ready to toast to your success." Chloe couldn't hold back any longer. She pried open my hand and grabbed the test paper I was holding down. But the next second, her expression froze. The multiple-choice questions were mostly wrong, and many of the long-answer questions were crossed out. Next to the science section, the score was a glaring 600 out of 1600. Chloe stumbled back two steps, looking at me in shock. "Did you fall asleep during the exam? How did you do so badly?" I lowered my eyes, pinching my thigh hard to force out tears. "I didn't want to either, but I had gastroenteritis during the exams. I left half the math section blank..." "I just hope I can get into a community college. I estimate I'll get around 900." As soon as I finished speaking, Justin stood up abruptly, his face pale. "Susan, I think we should take a break." "You know your family situation. Your dad is an alcoholic, your mom is bedridden. If you failed the SATs, what makes you worthy of me?!" He grabbed the paper from the table and smashed it onto my head, moving away from me as if I were something dirty. The sharp paper scratched my face. All I could see were looks of disdain from my classmates. "900? We're both scholarship students, but Chloe estimated 1500!" "I thought I could rely on you in the future. Didn't expect you to be such a failure. Just wait to rot in poverty with your loser parents!" The class president even kicked me out of the group chat right in front of me, claiming my existence lowered the class's standard. I looked at these people calmly, my expression unwavering. I was just wondering: Chloe, where did you get the dark magic to swap faces? 2 "Susan, 900? Are you kidding me?" Chloe narrowed her eyes, her tone heavy. "You know the state scholarship alone is worth tens of thousands. With that money, your mom's illness could be treated." I showed a painful expression, scratching my hair hard. "I want that too! Maybe the answer key is wrong? Why did I do so poorly?" The class president and others sneered. "It shows God has eyes. We were tired of you showing off your grades. You were so smug every time the teacher praised you, right?" "Susan, why are you still standing there? Get out! You don't think you're still qualified to be at our party, do you?" Just as everyone was piling on the insults, a cold voice rang out from the door. "Wow, there really are people who look down on others like dogs." The famous spoiled little princess, dressed in a black dress, strode in. Perhaps by coincidence, she stood in front of me. "I'm paying for this party. If I say Susan stays, she stays." The girl lifted her beautiful chin slightly. I used to hate her arrogance, but right now, I wanted to hug her. In my past life, she was the only one who realized something was wrong and tried to gather evidence of my murder, only to be discovered by Chloe. Such a clean-freak girl ended up dying in the most humiliating way in a dark alley. Seeing Lily stand up for me, everyone fell silent and scattered. Only Chloe walked over, handing a glass of wine to Lily. "Lily, thank you for inviting us tonight. Graduation is coming up, I want to toast you." I was shocked to realize this was the exact glass of wine I drank in my past life. Could the face-swapping be related to this wine, and Chloe had changed her target? Seeing Lily about to drink, I didn't have time to think. I pretended to twist my ankle and bumped into Lily. The cold wine soaked the girl's dress instantly. Her eyes widened, hand still holding the glass. "Susan, what are you doing?!" Justin rushed over and pushed me away. He took out a handkerchief, looking at Lily with concern. "Lily, are you okay? God, such a beautiful dress ruined. Susan is always so clumsy. You're too kind, standing up for her just now." "...Although Susan and I broke up, I still apologize for her." Lily remained silent, her lips tight, as if thinking. I apologized repeatedly, glancing up at Chloe as if by accident. Sure enough, a flash of panic crossed her eyes. 3 "Don't touch me with your dirty hands, get lost!" Lily's temper exploded. She slapped Justin's hand away and stormed off. I became the target again and had to leave voluntarily. After returning home, I received a message from Justin. [Susan, don't take the grades too hard.] I raised an eyebrow. He hadn't blocked me? What did he mean? The next second: [Tonight's dinner cost $25 per person. Since we broke up, you shouldn't take advantage of me, right?] I was speechless. I Venmoed him the money and blocked him immediately. That night, I locked my door tight, afraid to sleep. Terrified that if I closed my eyes, I would return to the nightmare of my past life. Fortunately, when dawn broke, I rushed to the mirror. My face was still mine. I almost cried with relief. I immediately took the evidence my adoptive parents gave me to find Lily and talk face-to-face. In the coffee shop, the girl looked at me thoughtfully and accepted the reality calmly. She murmured: "No wonder that dream felt so real. So you really are my parents' biological daughter. Then, everything that happened later must be true too." At this moment, I realized Lily, who also died tragically, had been reborn too. "Lily, I'm in the same situation. What you dreamed actually happened in the past life." "Last night in the past life, Chloe swapped faces with me. She took my identity, went to the Lin family, and committed many atrocities." I held her hand, looking at her seriously. "I hope we can form an alliance to face this together. Trust me, I genuinely want to cooperate with you." Feeling the warmth in my palm, Lily held my hand back. "Susan, I'm sorry for occupying your place for so many years. From today on, I'll cooperate with whatever you say." "That damn Chloe, I really want to find someone to just end her!" 4 To avoid alerting the enemy, Lily and I agreed to pretend we knew nothing and investigate Chloe's face-swapping technique first. When I returned home for dinner, my adoptive mother told me Chloe had visited. Specifically asking about my estimated score. My chopsticks shook. "Susan, it's okay. You don't have to hide your exam failure from us. We know." My adoptive mother's eyes reddened. "It's all my fault for being selfish back then, switching you and Lily. When you return to the Lin family, you'll have a great life." My adoptive father, who loved to drink, also said seriously: "I can see that classmate of yours is full of schemes and doesn't genuinely wish you well. Stay away from her." "I've seen plenty of people like her. Don't tell her about reuniting with your family; she'll definitely try to ruin it." I gratefully agreed. For this meal, my adoptive mother made my favorite braised ribs, lamb stew with eggplant, and a fragrant bone broth. To be fair, although my adoptive mother switched me back then, they really gave me the best they could over the years. I want to return to my original life path, but it's hard for me to hold a grudge against them. After dinner, I went back to my room and checked my phone. My social media feed was flooded. Justin and Chloe had gone public. Justin even posted a long text subtly hinting that he was with me out of pity because I pestered him. Claiming he never really liked me. Now he found his true love and hoped to walk together with her. I knew Justin was realistic and selfish, but I didn't expect him to stoop this low. I couldn't help but comment: [? Didn't we just break up yesterday?] Justin's friends immediately jumped in to attack: [Come on, Susan, you still have the nerve to pester Justin? With your 900 SAT score, I feel embarrassed for you.] [Chloe and Justin both estimated 1500+. In the future, you'll be screwing bolts in a factory while they work in offices. You're not in the same world.] Justin liked this comment and replied to me: [Susan, we are already on parallel lines. I've done my best regarding the past. Please don't disturb my happiness anymore.] Before we got together, his grades were terrible. I've been dragging him to study all these years. Even right before the SATs, I sacrificed my own review time to help him organize notes. I didn't expect to get this result in the end.
