Synopsis
I died unloved, my sacrifice for my brother dismissed as bad luck. But fate rewinds—suddenly I’m back in my childhood home, reliving every slight, every betrayal, and every cruel word. This time, I refuse to be the family’s doormat. I outsmart their schemes, fight for my education, and risk everything to escape their grip. When they try to steal my life—literally—I turn the whole town and the law against them, severing their hold for good. Alone but unbroken, I claw my way through school, poverty, and sabotage, transforming my pain into a bestselling novel and the life I always deserved. As I claim a new name, a real love, and a future of my own making, one question lingers: Can you ever truly outrun the past—or does it become the fuel that sets you free?
