The female ghost in the red veil slowly approached her placing her hands on Yena’s shoulders.

A chilling sensation ran through Yena’s body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Is this the end? Am I going to die?

Tears welled up in Yena’s frightened eyes.

“Look, see?” the female ghost whispered, gripping Yena’s hand and pressing it against the mirror.

Unconsciously, Yena followed the ghost’s guidance.

In the mirror, a man dressed in black was anxiously searching for a child, and the child’s face in the photo was none other than Yena’s!

“Uncle Anthony is looking for me…?” Yena’s voice sounded confused, her expression blank.

“Yes…” replied the woman behind her.

The image in the mirror continued to play, with the man searching with the photo in hand. “This is my niece… she’s very important to me. I need all of you to find her for me!”

All the bodyguards were dispatched to search for her…

Yena stared vacantly for a while, her eyes gradually losing focus.

At that moment, someone switched her photo with Lilly’s, and one of the bodyguards brought Lilly to Crawford Mansion.

The reflection of Lilly in the mirror displayed a contemptuous and arrogant smile, provoking a surge of anger within Yena!

Her uncle was searching for her, and Lilly shamelessly stole her place!

With a surge of rage, the mirror suddenly darkened. After a while, the Crawford Mansion appeared once again before Yena’s eyes.

The massive and unsightly stone in front of the main building vanished, replaced by sunflowers, her favorite flowers blooming proudly by the entrance.

Yena stood there, captivated by the enchanting scene unfolding before her eyes. There was a little girl in the mirror, wearing a pink princess dress and clutching a bouquet, walking towards the mansion on the cobblestone road. The maids and bodyguards lining the sides bowed respectfully, greeting her warmly, “Hello, Miss Yena!”

Yena’s eyes widened in disbelief. The little girl in the mirror was herself?!

The mirrored Yena entered the manor, where Bettany welcomed her, “Yena you’re home, are you hungry? I’ll make something for you.”

Bettany, who had treated her with disdain earlier, now embraced her tenderly and instructed the Crawford family servants to bring in a feast. Servants streamed in from outside, filling the long dining table with a plethora of dishes.

“I don’t know what you like to eat so, I prepared all of them for you,” Bettany said, taking Yena’s hand and leading her to the dining room.

“You can eat whatever you want, and we’ll throw them away if you can’t finish them!” she added.

The mirrored Yena nodded obediently and replied, “Grandma, it’s not good to waste. Let’s give it to the beggars and the cleaners.”

Bettany immediately praised her, “You’re so kind, Yena!”

At that moment, a tall, handsome man dressed in a knight’s uniform descended the stairs. It was Blake, her uncle.

“Uncle Blake!” Yena exclaimed joyfully.

Her uncle scooped her up and said, “Yena, let’s eat quickly. After you’re full, I’ll take you to the amusement park!”

In the blink of an eye, the scene shifted, and they found themselves in the amusement park.

“I built this amusement park for you. Do you like it?” Blake gently caressed her head. “It’s your very own amusement park. You can invite anyone you want to play with.”

The little girl in the mirror brimmed with happiness. As she stepped into the amusement park, she beheld the dazzling lights of the carousel and the dreamlike Ferris wheel…

Everything belonged to her!

Not only did Blake play with her, but the amusement park resounded with their laughter…

She was adored by everyone, like a cherished little princess who captured the hearts of the world. She was showered with compliments at school and all of them were eager to befriend her.

Her older sister no longer bullied her. Instead, she spent her days doing household chores and humbly addressing her as “Miss Yena” whenever they cross paths.

Yena stood entranced in front of the mirror, completely forgetting about the female ghost lurking behind her.

The female ghost’s fingers gradually extended, piercing into Yena’s neck…

Suddenly, the image in the mirror shifted, and Lilly appeared before her with a menacing expression. She shoved Yena forcefully, held Blake’s hand, and declared, “He’s my Daddy!”

In the mirror, Yena fell to the ground, and while Blake rushed to help her, Lilly forcefully dragged him away.

Lilly screeched at Yena, “Don’t help her! These things belong to me! Even if they were originally hers, they must be mine!”

In the mirror, Yena was once the beloved little princess of the Crawford family and her uncle, but she was snatched away by Lilly!

To make matters worse, while everyone’s attention was shifted away from her, Lilly locked Yena up, strangled her neck mercilessly, and dug her long nails into her flesh.

“Please, let me go…”

Yena experienced excruciating pain and cried out loudly.

Lilly sneered, “How dare you challenge me? I’ve taken everything away from you. What can you do now? Hahahaha…”

The sound of shattering glass could be heard!

Yena snapped out of her dream with tears streaming down her face. She could not make sense of the events she saw in the mirror.

There was an old desk in front of her and her princess book on her desk was torn apart. Some of the damaged pages had been taped up.

Her room was cramped and small, with even her bed being pitifully tiny. Not a single item in her room was new. Everything she had was handed down from her sister.

Although her father’s family was wealthy, he would always emphasize how expensive her sister’s belongings were when he bought them and told her not to be wasteful.

Yena thought about this, her mind still reeling from the events she witnessed in the mirror.

The difference from what she saw was overwhelming, and she could not accept it.

Everything felt so real in the mirror, she could not believe it was just an illusion. It seemed as if it was true.

Everything belonged to her, but her younger cousin had stolen it all away.

She had been in Alfornada, while her younger cousin was brought back from South City later on.

Anthony was supposed to be searching for her, but Lilly had snatched him away.

If they failed to find Lilly initially, and if Lilly had died in South City, then Yena would have appeared before the uncle first and won his favor. Now everything Lilly possessed rightfully belonged to her.

“Hehehe…” chuckled the woman with the red veil behind her. “Do you understand now? This is what would’ve happened.”

Though her face remained concealed by the red veil, Yena felt she was being watched.

“Do you know the significance of past and present lives?” the woman continued. “It means that in your previous life, you were like what you saw in the mirror. Lilly manipulated the Book of Life and altered all the good things to favor herself.”

The woman lowered her red veil, revealing a face that bore a resemblance to the Crawford family.

“I’m Jean, the only daughter of the Crawford family. You were my daughter in the previous life…” Her eyes gleamed with an unusual intensity. “Your biological mother was not a mistress but the rightful lady of the Crawford family… You were destined for a prominent background, with eight uncles who adored you… but Lilly took it all away from you!”

The words “your biological mother was not a mistress” struck Yena.

Every bit of malice she had experienced since she could remember stemmed from the words “Your mother is a mistress.”

If her mother had not been labeled as that, if she had been recognized as the rightful lady of the Crawford family, then she would not have endured the suffering she was subjected to now.

She realized that she was different from Lilly.

The woman took great satisfaction in witnessing the resentment and unwillingness that flickered in Yena’s eyes.

“Our master has been battling Lilly and striving to punish her. However, our master suffered severe injuries in the process.”

“We need your help now…”

“You must be wondering why something like this is happening to you, right? It’s because Lilly stole your identity. You were meant to be Lilly from the start!”

“Her name might be Lilly, but she’s nothing more than a devil…”

“I will now help you gain skills. Together, we’ll kill the demons and reclaim your life!”

Yena remained in a daze for quite some time.

She discovered that she was not the daughter of a mistress, and that Lilly had stripped her of everything.

Everything that Lilly possessed right now belonged to her…
