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.

I cut through their furious condemnations. "Everyone," I stated clearly, "I admit that Delilah's graduation project was originally my creation, and the crimson thorn emblem was also designed by me."


Upon hearing this, Alexander’s eyes blazed with incandescent rage. "Why?!"


"Ellie poured her heart and soul into teaching you everything she knew! On her deathbed, she even entrusted me with finding you, with supporting you! And this is how you repay her sacred trust!"


"Mr. Sterling, please, calm yourself! I love my mentor more deeply than anyone here."


With that, I presented the surveillance footage from the studio that day.
