In my previous life, my sister Scarlett chose to bind with the Beauty System, while I chose the Fertility System.
With the system’s gift, Scarlett leveraged her beauty into a marriage with Julian, the elite businessman she had long coveted.
But less than a month into their marriage, Julian tragically died in a plane crash during an overseas business trip.
Scarlett became a stunning widow, with nothing but her beauty left. Eventually, she was abducted and brutally murdered by a depraved vagrant.
Meanwhile, my innate fertility caught the attention of Xander, a powerful magnate. I bore him four sets of twins in three years, securing my status as a woman of immense wealth and influence.
Consumed by bitter jealousy for the system she had forsaken, Scarlett’s vengeful spirit haunted me, finally pushing me into a pool to drown.
The next time I opened my eyes, we were back to the day we chose which system to bind with.
This time, Scarlett unhesitatingly chose the Fertility System. Then, turning to me with a cruel smile, she said,”Violet, you can have this Beauty System!”
In that moment, I knew she had been reborn too.
…
I smiled.
Scarlett believed that with this fertile physique, she could secure her position as a revered socialite. But she had no idea how much effort I poured into that family over the years.
On the day of the exclusive gala where Xander would choose his fiancée, Scarlett dressed to impress.
In the last life, Scarlett, being infatuated with Julian, feigned illness and didn’t show up when Xander hosted his banquet.
This time, she wore exquisite makeup and a sexy gown.
Scarlett threw her old clothes at me and ordered me to change. She even confiscated all my makeup, forbidding me from wearing any. Yet even completely barefaced, I was still noticeably prettier than her.
My mother looked at me with extreme distaste. “Look at what you’re wearing! You’re an embarrassment to our family!”
Father was also displeased. “Violet, with that attitude, maybe you shouldn’t even participate. Don’t make our family a laughingstock in front of tonight’s guests.”
I didn’t speak. Xander’s assistant, however, spoke up. “Since you’re already here, just sit down and watch.”
Scarlett shot me a disdainful glance, brimming with confidence.
Mother, pulling Xander’s assistant aside, strongly advocated for Scarlett. “Our Scarlett is kind, graceful, and carries herself with such poise. She’s the perfect candidate for Xander’s fiancée.”
Xander’s assistant sat on the couch, sizing up both Scarlett and me. Just as his hand was about to point at me, Scarlett couldn’t sit still any longer.
She looked up and declared loudly, “I have a unique physique, incredibly fertile. I can solve the succession problem for Xander’s family!”
Xander’s assistant’s eyes lit up. He told Scarlett, “Follow me to meet Mr. Kincaid.”
My parents tearfully embraced Scarlett, overjoyed.
“That’s wonderful, Scarlett! Your mother knew you’d be chosen!”
Scarlett grinned from ear to ear, still not forgetting to sneer at me. “Violet, sorry, but I’m off to meet Mr. Kincaid.”
Mother also looked at me with disdain. “You embarrassment! Get back to your room now. Don’t stand there bothering us!”
It was the same in the last life. Mother despised me, but Scarlett feigned illness and refused to show up, so they were forced to put me forward just to fill a spot. Who would have thought I’d actually be chosen?
This life, with Scarlett present, they naturally looked down on me even more, despite me being prettier than her.
As I was about to leave, Xander’s assistant called out to me again.
“Wait, what’s your name?”
My mother quickly answered. “She’s my second daughter, Violet. She’s reclusive and unlikable.”
To my surprise, Xander’s assistant walked up to me and said with a smile.
“Miss Violet, I think you have a certain grace about you. Would you come with me to meet Mr. Kincaid?”
As soon as we arrived at Xander’s estate, Scarlett, thanks to her Fertility System, was summoned by Xander that very night.
The next day, she was moved into a separate villa next to the main estate, treated almost like the lady of the house.
Such immense favor quickly spread to every corner of Xander’s estate, reaching even the guest house where I resided.
In this life, without the Fertility System, I hadn’t been summoned by Xander. I was just a regular “backup option,” sharing an apartment with a few other girls who had also been sent here.
The sun was nice, so I was basking outside when I happened to run into Scarlett.
She was accompanied by seven or eight maids and two personal assistants, an impressive entourage that almost crowded my small courtyard.
Scarlett approached me, dramatically covering her nose and mouth, her face a mask of disgust. “Honestly, Violet, are you still wearing those old clothes?”
With that, she motioned to a maid next to her, who threw an old suitcase at my feet.
“Don’t say I never help you. Xander gave me all these. There’s just too much for me to use, so I’m giving them to you.”
I looked down. They were all used, old handbags and jewelry. Some of the leather goods were even moldy, covered in mildew.
I chuckled. “Scarlett, Xander gave you these kinds of things?”
Scarlett just walked up and slapped me. “I’m trying to be kind, and you’re completely ungrateful!”
My face instantly turned red and swollen.
Scarlett finally smiled, satisfied. “Violet, don’t think that just because you have a pretty face, you can turn your life around. With me here, you’ll never get close to Xander, not in this lifetime.”
I watched her with a blank expression, then glanced at her entourage behind her. She was just as arrogant, overbearing, and self-absorbed as she was in the last life.
“Scarlett, maybe you should worry about yourself.”
Scarlett swept a contemptuous gaze over me. “You’re just jealous, that’s what it is! I’m already pregnant, and my child will be the heir. What can you possibly compare with?”
I watched her, blinded by Xander’s favor, and remained silent.
Seeing that I said nothing, like punching a pillow, Scarlett couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on me and left.
In my previous life, just like Scarlett, thanks to the Fertility System’s boost, I conceived twins the very first night I was with Xander.
But that twin pregnancy almost killed me.
I watched Scarlett’s retreating back and sneered. She had no idea the enemies lurking in the shadows were already targeting her.
…
Soon, news of Scarlett’s pregnancy spread.
Xander had been with so many girlfriends over the years, yet none had conceived.
Scarlett got pregnant as soon as she arrived, and the private medical team confirmed it was another set of twin boys.
But I knew her triumph wouldn’t last long.
A few days later, I received notice that Xander intended to give me to his business partner, Julian, a man notorious for his ruthless tactics. I knew this had to be Scarlett’s doing.
She didn’t want me to see Xander. Sending me away would not only remove me from Xander’s estate but also marry me off to that unfortunate Julian. It was a clever move on her part, but by now, I doubted she even cared about me.
At the same time, word spread that Scarlett was showing signs of a miscarriage. Xander was furious, firing several top-tier private doctors.
Suddenly, my meeting with Julian was postponed.
In the last life, when my twins were seven months along, my pregnancy became unstable. It was only thanks to the obstetrician’s proprietary remedy that the pregnancy was saved. After giving birth to two sons, I officially became Xander’s wife.
But this life, Scarlett, enraged by the pain, constantly berated the doctors in front of Xander. Some were even dragged out by bodyguards before they could properly examine her.
Soon, the entire medical team was terrified; no one wanted to be responsible for her.
Scarlett eventually miscarried, barely clinging to life.
I knew this day would come for her. Given her personality, it was only a matter of time before someone targeted her.
I didn’t pity her. I just thought she got what she deserved.
“Bad news! Bad news! Miss Violet, there are a lot of bodyguards outside, saying they’re here to arrest you!”
The maid ran in, shouting.
I never thought Scarlett would tell Xander I poisoned her, causing her to lose her baby.
Soon, bodyguards apprehended me. Xander, without even investigating the truth, intended to kill me.
“Violet, in this life, you still couldn’t escape death. Go on and rest easy; I’ll enjoy the rest of your good fortune for you.”
In the room where I was temporarily confined, I slowly calmed down. I couldn’t let Scarlett kill me again. And it was high time my Beauty System proved its worth.
I pleaded with the head bodyguard to take me to Xander. With my naturally captivating eyes, I smiled at him ingratiatingly. He was captivated by my exquisite beauty, and as if under a spell, he agreed.
I secretly went to the living room of Scarlett’s recuperation villa. When Scarlett saw me, she was first surprised, then enraged. “What are you doing here! Are you here to gloat? You evil woman, you’re the one who killed my baby! How are you still walking around free?”
Xander patiently stroked her back, trying to calm her down, not even glancing at me.
I looked at Xander, my husband from my last life. He was just as authoritative and handsome as before. If it weren’t for his absolute need for an heir, he would undoubtedly be a wonderful partner.
Unfortunately, marriages in high society were always complicated.
Scarlett, seeing me staring intently at Xander, fainted from anger.
“Doctor! Call the doctor quickly!”
The villa was thrown into complete chaos.
The doctors nervously checked her, terrified one wrong move would cost them their job.
Xander carefully covered Scarlett with a blanket, then finally noticed me.
“You’re Scarlett’s sister? Look up.”
I obeyed, slowly raising my head. My hair, disheveled in the chaos, fell around my face, my eyes brimming with tears.
My tear-filled, pitiful demeanor, combined with the power of the Beauty System, made Xander freeze the moment he saw my face.
His eyes were filled with absolute awe.
I subtly pinched myself, and tears streamed down my face like a broken string of pearls. “Mr. Kincaid, I didn’t harm Scarlett…”
Scarlett’s personal maid interrupted me. “It was you! Miss Scarlett is your sister, yet you poisoned her out of jealousy!”
I sneered inwardly, but my tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
My captivating eyes, with my crying, added a touch of vulnerability. “Yes, I didn’t want to marry Mr. Julian, because my heart has always longed for you. Though it pains me that you would give me to another, I would never, ever poison Scarlett because of it.”
Through my blurry tears, I caught Xander’s gaze, and his eyes softened, filling with a tenderness I hadn’t seen before.
Scarlett woke up. Seeing Xander mesmerized by me, she gritted her teeth, pulled Xander away from me, and sobbed uncontrollably into his arms. “Xander, my poor babies…”
Her accusations were aimed directly at me, but Xander, however, looked at me with a rare flicker of hesitation.
I seized the opportunity. “I know who harmed Scarlett’s babies!”
At my words, every eye in the room turned to me.
“Who harmed them?” Xander asked.
I pointed to a delicate bracelet on Scarlett’s wrist and said, “It’s the incense embedded in this bracelet. It contains a scent that could cause a miscarriage.”
Scarlett’s eyes widened in shock. She tore off the bracelet and threw it at my feet. “Still saying it wasn’t you? If it wasn’t you, how would you know so much?”
“And you,” she snapped, slapping her personal maid. Her voice was harsh. “You traitor! You colluded with outsiders to give me this bracelet and harm me, didn’t you?”
The maid who had just spoken up for her had, in an instant, personally sealed her own doom.
I sneered. Scarlett was just like this in the last life. Naturally arrogant and overbearing, treating her staff like mere tools, even dismissing her loyal servants. In the end, no one stood up for her, and no one truly cared for her.
In this life, she still hadn’t learned, continuing to act recklessly.
After the maid was dragged away, Scarlett still wanted the bodyguards to take me too, but Xander stopped them.
“First, let’s hear what she has to say.”
Scarlett could only bite her lip, glaring at me.
I took a deep breath and began my explanation. “This bracelet was a gift from Willow. All the other ladies received one. However, Scarlett’s bracelet contained a special scent that could cause a miscarriage, which led to her miscarriage.”
In my previous life, I almost miscarried because of this very bracelet.
At the time, I thought since Willow had given identical bracelets to everyone, there shouldn’t be a problem. But later, I realized my bracelet’s scent was particularly strong. The doctor had said that excessive inhalation of this specially formulated scent could cause severe harm to a pregnant woman.
“That conniving Willow!”
Seeing her plot against me had failed, Scarlett cried out again, demanding Xander punish Willow.
After Xander left, Scarlett looked at me coldly. “You knew I would miscarry, and you deliberately didn’t tell me?”
I scoffed softly. “I warned you long ago, but you just wouldn’t listen. Scarlett, I told you not to get too smug too soon. Do you really think having the Fertility System means you can survive in this ruthless high society? This time, it was just your babies. Next time, it might be you.”
Scarlett’s face turned ashen, her voice hoarse. “Violet, how dare you curse me! I swear, I’ll drag you down with my unborn child!”
Even like that, she still didn’t forget to threaten me.
“I have the Fertility System, I can always have more children. Using these babies to get rid of that malicious Willow? Their deaths weren’t for nothing. Next time, it’ll be your turn.”
I frowned. “Scarlett, doing too many evil deeds will catch up to you. Don’t forget, I have a system too.”
