L I was wrongly killed for plagiarism , and after rebirth I just played badly Chapter 1 I got canned from y job , so I packed my bags and headed back to the sticks , spending my days playing mahjong with Grandma .
Meanwhile , my whole family was freaking out , searching high and low for me .
Turns out , my genius jewelry designer sister couldnt sketch a thing after I left .
Last time around , at the National Jewelry Design Competition , my little sister always managed to whip up designs that were carbon copies of mine , but , like , five minutes sooner .
Everyone accused me of plagiarism , and my own family jumped on the bandwagon to testify against me .
The company decided I was a liabili a copycat ruining their reputation , so they handed me a pink slip and a bill for damages .
My family treated me like dead weight , kicking me to the curb .
The weight of their betrayal and public shame crushed me , and I spiraled into depression .
I ended up getting mowed down by one of my sisters crazed fans while walking down the street .
Before blacking out , I couldnt figure out how my sister always got her hands on my designs first .
< Then , bam ! I woke up , back to the day before the National Jewelry Design Competition .
Ashley , you feeling confident about the competition ? The office chatter snapped me back to reality .
I couldnt believe it , I was reliving it all ! Ash has won the companys Designer of the Year award , like , three times in a row , of Curse shes confident .
She bumped my shoulder with a smile .
I was at a loss , because I knew what was coming .
Last time around at the National Design Competition , I submitted my design , one I had poured my heart and soul into for days .
Then , boom ! I was accused of straight up plagiarism ! The organizers flashed two designs on the screen , identical down to the tiniest detail , including the flower patterns .
But , the kicker ? My sister , Madison , had submitted hers first .
She stood below the stage , eyes red , staring at me like she couldnt believe it .
She grabbed the mic , shouting , Ashley , why would you copy my work ? If youre stuck , I can help you find inspiration ! Why would you do this ? I froze .
It was my design .
Id kept it locked away on my computer , never showed it to anyone .
I tried to explain , but the crowd was already chanting : Copycat ! Get off the stage ! You dont deserve to be a designer .
What a joke ! I snatched the mic , trying to defend myself , but only a few people believed me .
Then , my parents trotted out photos of Madison burning the midnight oil .
They said they regretted having a daughter like me and disowned me on the spot .
That was it .
Nobody believed me anymore .
I was escorted out by security , and my phone blew up with hate .
I checked my computer for viruses , backdoors , anything .
The computer and my sketches were always with me , how could this happen ? How could Madison have an exact copy of my design ? All my ideas , sketches , they came from me .
I would never plagiarize her ! Ashley , I heard your sisters in the competition too , who do you think will win ? < Soon after I joined this company , Madison , somehow joined as well .
Hearing that made my stomach drop .
My hands clenched into fists , like they wanted to break skin .
My little sister , Madison .
When she was born , she didnt cry like other babies .

Mom thought something was wrong and brought in a psychic .
The guy walked in and fixated on me .
He claimed my aura clashed with Madisons , making her weak .
He said I was stealing her life force .
< He said I had to move out so Madison could survive .
The alternative ? She wouldnt live past 25 .
From that day on , my parents were desperate to get rid of me .
Maybe I sensed it , because I tried everything to please Madison , to stay .
I gave her my favorite toys , while her room overflowed with brand new dolls .
I went to greet her and saw that innocent , cute smile .
But I was wrong .
She knocked down the blocks , and sat there and started crying .
My parents rushed to her , but I stood there .
Then , moms hand slapped across my face .
My ears rang , and blood trickled down my lip .
I knew then that Madison and I could never get along .
They sent me to live with Grandma .
She raised me all by herself .
A few years ago , my parents suddenly asked me to come home .
I wanted their love , so I agreed .
I sat at my desk , staring at my designs on the computer .
Madison had spent her life learning to dance , when did she start studying art and design ? I asked my colleagues if I could see Madisons past design submissions .
Soon a file with Madisons designs landed in my inbox .
I went through them , the more I looked the more my stomach churned ! These designs were identical to mine ! Some of them I hadnt even made public .
And all these had already been released .
It was impossible .
Some designs were intended to be part of a portfolio for when I would one day start my own business .
Nobody knew .
I deleted my designs on my computer and tried to calm down .
Ive died and come back , there must be something Im missing .
I studied art and design since high school and graduated with high marks , then chose to continue with jewelery design .
I was stable in my art skills and knowledge .
I calmed myself and strengthened my will .
I didnt know how she was doing it , but I would redesign everything ! I closed my computer , too scared to use it , in case I was copied .
I took out some paper and started designing a new set of jewelry .
After deciding on the structure and materials , I started drawing .
I looked at my work .
It was a ring made of intertwined purple gold wires and a platinum violet , with a purple stone in the centre .
It had a mystical , elegant , feel .
I named it Violet Kiss .
< Wow ! Madison released a new design and its beautiful … I frowned , new design ? This design is amazing ! Ashley , your sister is so talented , I wish I was you .
The office was buzzing .
Everyone looked at their phones , and I saw the Madison had posted a picture on WeChat .
Ill keep working hard to show everyone more great designs , here is Violet Kiss .
I looked at the photo and my eyes widened .
< It was the design I just created .
How could Madison post it first ? Someone walked past my desk and picked up my drawing .
Look , this is the same as Madisons post ! Everyone gathered .
Its identical ! I froze and reached out to grab the drawing , but someone pushed me .
Ashley , are you trying to plagiarise your sister ? They spoke like they had heard gossip .
I cant believe she would do this .
Her designs are similar to Madisons , did anyone notice ? People compared my designs to Madisons .
I grabbed my drawing .
This is mine , Madison is plagiarising my work ! Madison walked in .
She wore a short white dress .
Her eyes were red and wet , and she sounded like she was crying .
Why are you stealing my work ? I know you < dont like me , but thats from the heart .
Ever since you came home , you dont like me , are you blaming mom and dad ? Everyone was sympathetic to her .
Someone pushed me from behind , and I slammed into the desk .
Blood ran down my cheek .
Madison pretended to pull me up , but fell .
What the hell , there are so many people here She pretended to be hurt and looked at me innocently .
Why did you push me ? I was trying to pull you up … Everyone rushed to help her and screamed at me .
Ashley , stop it , do you regret plagiarism ? Are you mad ? Its ok Madison , let her be , she deserves to die .
Madison stood up and acted sad .
Shes still my sister , I dont mind … I laughed .
Youre mistaken sister , come here and Ill tell you something .
< Madison got closer .
I looked at her and slapped her across the face .
She fell .
Oops , sisters sorry .
Madison sat on the floor , covering her face , and glared at me .
Then she looked up and pretended to be innocent .
I dont have time to deal with her .
I got up and left .
