The Fake Heiress: Swapping Lives and Inheriting Millions in Debt

Chapter 1

On the first day of college, I became the center of attention in the freshman group chat.

Channel bags, Tom Ford makeup, Celine shirts, and Balenciaga shoes - I posted photos of them all in the group.

I maxed out all my credit cards to carefully craft the image of a rich socialite, luring Lucy step by step into my trap.

Three months later, she used the "life exchange system" to swap lives with me.

I was reborn!

During the summer after high school graduation, I worked three jobs a day.

Livestreaming, tutoring, and doing online translations.

After three busy months, I earned about $12,000.

I didn't waste a penny of it, spending it all on luxury goods.

Channel bags, Tom Ford makeup, Celine shirts and Balenciaga shoes.

On the first day of school, I used these items to successfully become the center of attention in the freshman group chat.

[Is there parking near the dorm? I don't want to leave my Lamborghini at home.]

[Didn't you all travel abroad this summer? I visited several countries. What's the point of traveling if you don't go overseas?]

[Don't call me Miss. My family does have some assets, but my parents always say to stay humble.]

Every day I would post glamorous photos on Instagram, making sure to show high-end restaurant backgrounds or newly purchased expensive cosmetics.

I successfully packaged myself as a show-off, low EQ rich socialite who came from money.

Seeing Lucy's envious compliments in the group chat, I knew the fish had taken the bait.

I added her as a friend and sent an obnoxious voice message: "Lucy, right? From now on you can be my little follower! I'll give you these things I don't want anymore."

Attached was a photo of my newly bought Michael Kors signature tote bag, some outdated Chanel t-shirts, and a brand new bottle of Yankee Candle perfume.

Lucy quickly replied with a voice message: "Thank you, Emma! Let me know if you need anything anytime."

She called me "Emma" very intimately, as if the role of follower brought her great satisfaction.

But only I knew that she must be gritting her teeth and cursing me right now!

Because in my past life, without me as the "rich socialite", she had targeted an overseas Chinese girl in our class.

Using the same flattery tactics, she became that girl's follower.

Three months into the semester, after fully understanding the overseas girl's family background, she used the "life exchange system" on her.

In my past life, after I accidentally witnessed her using the system to exchange lives, she imprisoned and tortured me.

Before I died, she confessed everything to me.

"This world was born for me. Whoever I set my sights on, I can exchange lives with them."

"Although I only have one chance."

When I discovered I had actually been reborn, I knew my one chance to change my life had come.

I had to become Lucy's target for the life exchange.

I wanted her to know that even with the system, she would still lose miserably.
