Yu Xiao Yun's memories floated at the last moment of her death. She looks up at the black sky, and inside her head, she continues to curse at herself.
'How could I believe them? How could I blindly put my trust in those people? '
Xiao Yun couldn't feel anything; her body felt numb and cold. She could feel that her body was slowly growing colder each second. And although she was shivering from the coldness of her body, the blood pool that surrounds her felt warmer.
Slowly, her consciousness fades away. Her tears mixed with anger, ' No! I refuse to die this way! Those people! Even if I become a ghost, I will make sure to avenge my family and myself! "
Her family faces floated through her consciousness, and the salty tears fell to her cheek.
The last thing she could do was to pray, pray to the Gods in heaven, to help her avenge everyone!
Avenge the people who hurt her!
At her last moment, Xiao Yun's blurry vision could see a man 'sack figure floating through her mind. She raises her trembling hand to reach the man's face, but her body couldn't keep up with it anymore, a nd slowly her hand fell to the cold, harsh floor. Her eyes felt heavy,y and her heartbeat stopped.d

When Xiao Yun opens her eyes the next moment, she smells the vanilla scent filling the whole room.
Xiao Yun abruptly raised her body and sat on the bed. With an aghast expression, she checks her chest and searches her whole body for the wound she received before she died. ' No way! I didn't die? There's no wound on my body! No hole in my chest! '
Xiao Yun wipes her cold sweat and walks away from her bed. As she walked past a mirror hanging in her room, she staggered a few steps back in disbelief before completely collapsing to the floor. She covered her mouth, stood up from the floor, and ran toward the calendar near her.
Her eyes widened when she checked the calendar, 20XX!
' Am I dreaming...? I went back to the past! I went back 8 years before my death! '
Xiao Yun looked around and grabbed her phone. In the screen lock, a small reminder flashes on the screen.
[ 18th birthday ]
'It's true today is the 5th of April, my birthday! ...So, does this mean I went back to the past? '
Without thinking much, Xiao Yun quickly opens her phone and reads the news.
It's true! She went back to the past!
That means... she could go back and redo everything!
She could avenge herself and her family!
Xiao Yun stood up and opened her closet. While taking her school uniform out, she ties her hair into a ponytail and grabs her school bag.
Xiao Yun's eyes were more sparkling than ever, and her heart was full of determination. Swiftly, she went down to the dining room.
The first people she laid her eyes too were her parents and older brother. Without a word, she ran towards her parents, hugged them, and started to bawl.
Looking at Xiao Yun's behavior, her parents froze. They look at her, er not knowing what to do. Their daughter, who was always spoiled and self-centered, looked different than usual.
Xiao Yun was always spoiled and rebellious since the first year of her high school. Her parents would always get a warning phone call from Xiao Yun's teacher because of her thick makeup and skipping school.
Whenever she was at home, Xiao Yun would always fight with her parents, shouting, screaming, and breaking everything around the house.
But today, as i thunderstorm came crashing in, Xiao Yun didn't use any makeup at all. She didn't wear her over-the-top jewelry and colorful clothes.
Her parents came back to their senses and hugged her while asking her in a worried tone.
" Are you alright? "
" Does your stomach hurt? "
Xiao Yun's brother also chimed i, worried. " Did anyone bully you at school? "
Xiao Yun looked at them with a tear-stained face and shook her head. " No... Dad, Mom, Ge-Ge. I love you all," she replies in a weak, fragile voice.
Baffled, her parents and brother took glances at each other. Unlike the usual Xiao Yun, who would always spout hurtful things with a scornful expression, today she hugged them. Their face was painted in confusion, but they couldn't hide their happiness. After all, it was the first time for them to hear the word 'I love you' from Xiao Yun after many years.
Xiao Yun's mother pats her head and comforts her crying daughter, " It's alright, we also love you ." Her father and brother nod, agreeing to her mother's words before hugging each other.
