On the eve of the graduation exhibition, my boyfriend swapped my graduation project with his childhood sweetheart's.
After I discovered it, I ignored his pleas and switched back to my original work.
Later, my graduation project caused a sensation at the exhibition. I became an overnight success, not only winning the academy's gold award but also having my piece acquired for millions of dollars.
But just as I was about to use the money to pay off my boyfriend's father's gambling debts, his childhood sweetheart jumped from her apartment building.
My boyfriend flew into a rage and smashed my artwork.
"Sera, are you so vain that you just had to compete with Delilah! If it weren't for you, how could she have ended up in the ICU!"
The words had barely left his lips when, without a moment's hesitation, he dragged me off to have 1000 milliliters of my blood drawn for his childhood sweetheart.
Already anemic, I didn't survive. I died on the operating table.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Julian was about to swap my graduation project with Delilah's.

The Paintings Reveals All Truths

I presented what was supposed to be Delilah's graduation design.


When the crowd saw the artwork, a wave of shocked whispers swept through them.


"What is this supposed to be? What kind of hideous design is this?"


"This isn't a design at all! Isn't this just a copy of Mrs. Sterling's other piece, 'The Eternal Heart'?"


"And she even dared to alter the face of the figure in the painting! This Sera is truly audacious!"


Julian smirked triumphantly. "Everyone, you see? Sera's skills are subpar. She was jealous that Delilah's work was superior, so she plotted to frame her."


Delilah spat venomously, "Sera, there was no need to offend Mr. Sterling just to frame me! How dare you make a mockery of Mrs. Sterling! Sera, you are despicable!"


"Mr. Sterling, we would never dare to make light of your wife. The evidence is irrefutable; Seraphina is the one responsible. We implore you to investigate thoroughly."


Listening to Julian so eagerly denouncing me, I smiled.
