Chapter 1
I was reborn on the night that my fate was changed in my previous life.
In my previous life, I lost my chastity before my wedding to save my fiancé who was poisoned by philter.
People said that the once prestigious Miss White, Sophia White, of Florida was too lowly and should kill herself with a glass of poisonous wine.
I endured the slander and refused to die, only to marry Edward Smith, the man I had longed for.
However, I never expected that on my wedding day, he would marry my younger sister, leaving me alone to be tortured by philter in the winter night and die.
In this new life, I calmly went crazy, putting a dagger across Edward's neck.
"You did such a lowly thing before our wedding, so you should die to prove your chastity."
——
I was reborn on the night that my fate was changed in my previous life.
Edward was poisoned by philter in the Spring Banquet, and now he was looking at me with a flushed face on the bed.
"Sophia, can you help me?"
I scanned his disheveled appearance and sneered in my heart.
Help him? Didn't he know that a woman's reputation is more important than anything else?
Oh, he knew, so he called me, not his beloved girl, my younger sister, Chloe White.
"Edward, you look so miserable, but I don't know how to help you."
Forcing down the nausea in my stomach, I showed a confused expression.
Edward was taken aback, not expecting me to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer me, so he got up and took my hand.
I kept stepping back, not letting him touch me at all.
"Edward, we are not married yet, we should abide by the etiquette, how can you be so presumptuous?"
I stared at him wide-eyed, as if I had discovered something incredible.
Edward's face hung in shame, but he still persisted.
"Our wedding date is approaching, so we don't have to worry about these things..."
He said the same thing in my previous life, but I was no longer the naive girl.
"Edward, my mother doesn't know that I've left the banquet yet, so I have to go."
I was afraid that I would lose control of my anger if I stayed any longer, so I was about to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.
He was preferring punishment to politeness.
"Heaven! Edward, how can you be so shameless?"
I suddenly yelled, startling Edward and he quickly tried to cover my mouth.
"Men and women should not be too intimate, I have to go!"
I pretended to be careless and kicked him in the groin, then pushed open the door and left.
The Spring Banquet was an extremely grand banquet, and even if I left for a moment, it did not attract anyone's attention.
Returning to my seat, I smiled and served my mother food, but it was not what she liked.
In my previous life, I was very respectful to my parents, but I didn't realize that they loved my flirtatious younger sister more.
Now I finally realized that showing excessive concern for them was useless.
My mother didn't pay attention to what I served her. Her eyes scanned the crowd.
"Mother, where is Chloe?"
I asked thoughtfully.
Where was Chloe? In my previous life, it was she who exposed my shameful affair, so how could she not be present at this banquet?
My mother looked worried and lowered her voice.
"Your sister left with you just now, why didn't you bring her back with you?"
There are many rules for female guests in Florida, and Chloe's absence should be worrisome.
But... followed me out?
I had a hunch in my heart, but I smiled at my mother and instructed Lily, my attendant, briefly.
"It must be her close friend Miss Jones calling her out. Don't worry."
After a moment, feeling that the timing was about right, I exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss Jones is not here today, so is Chloe in trouble?"
The guests at the banquet turned to look at me. I pretended to bow to the main seat in embarrassment.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry. Please help me find my sister. I'll be forever grateful."
After receiving the princess's permission, I noticed my mother's disapproving gaze, and I chuckled to myself.
How did Chloe do it in my previous life? It seemed like I was just repeating what she did.
No one had taken the matter seriously, but after a short time, we heard a commotion.
"Oh no, oh no!"
Lily, who had left earlier, returned to the banquet with the guards from the princess's residence, looking pale and frantic.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing my mother's expression change, I also made a concerned face.
Lily still hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"A ruffian has offended Miss Chloe... Your Highness, please do something about it!"
Chapter 2
A large group of people rushed to see the commotion. My mother and I, as the family of the victim, naturally stood in the front row.
My mother was unsteady on her feet, and I supported her, but I couldn't feel any pity in my heart.
In my previous life, she had stormed into the room and slapped me across the face, and she didn't look the least bit like she couldn't walk. How come it was different for her precious little daughter?
I really wanted to see what would happen when she entered that courtyard. Would she give her little daughter a slap for the sake of the White family's reputation?
As soon as we entered the courtyard, I opened my eyes wide and watched the fascinating scene unfolding before me, almost laughing out loud.
The guards at the princess's mansion really did treat Edward as a lecher, pulling him out of bed with his clothes in disarray.
Chloe, for some unknown reason, gave him clothes to cover up, with her hair disheveled, trying to explain something to the guards.
This scene was so spectacular that everyone present should have been amazed and felt that the spring banquet was well worth it.
Chloe noticed a large group of people had arrived and immediately panicked.
Before she could say anything, I covered my heart with my hand, pretending to cry.
"You, you...Chloe, how could you have an affair with my fiancé?"
With the dim light, everyone finally noticed Edward's true identity and their interest was piqued even more. They began to talk in a chaotic manner.
Edward had never been in such a disgraceful situation before. He struggled to explain, "It's not like this. I was framed and drugged with philter. Chloe sacrificed herself to save me. That's why we are in this state. Please believe me, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Chloe immediately cooperated by shedding tears, presenting a meek and submissive appearance.
The princess's eyes swept over them and landed on my mother, the current premier's wife.
However, my mother stepped forward and hugged Chloe tightly, feeling sorry for her.
"Chloe, you've been wronged. I will definitely help you find the person who drugged you," she said.
No one cared about me, the real victim.
Fortunately, the public's eyes were sharp, and someone immediately stepped forward to question Edward.
"Just saying you're drugged is not enough. How do we know that's not your excuse?"
Edward looked at that person with a fierce gaze, then turned to look at me.
"Sophia can testify that I originally intended to ask her out," he said, trying to drag me into the mess.
I was burning with anger, but I didn't show it on my face.
"But you hadn't been drugged when you found me. If you had, I would have called a doctor for you," I said.
If you are poisoned, you should see a doctor. Is it something respectable to seek a woman's help?
The meaning of my words was very clear, and many people laughed out loud.
The princess raised an eyebrow and turned her head, looking at me for the first time.
"Sophia, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
I looked at Edward, whose face was pale, and then at Chloe, who was crying in my mother's arms.
"Chastity is of great importance. I think a dagger should be given to them so that they can end their life," I said.
Everyone was shocked that I would say such harsh words.
The princess frowned, showing her disapproval.
My mother glared at me, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Sophia, she is your sister, how could you...?"
In front of everyone, I pulled out the dagger from a guard's belt and threw it in front of Edward.
"You did such a disgraceful thing before our wedding. You should die to prove your innocence," I said.
