The Vengeful Doppelganger

I have a twin sister.
She murdered me in two previous lives.
In my first life, she was determined to seduce a wealthy heiress's boyfriend. When I kindly tried to dissuade her, she berated me, accusing me of trying to break them up. In a fit of rage, she stabbed me repeatedly.
In my second life, I stood idly by. But when the heiress came seeking revenge, my sister pushed me out the door. I became her scapegoat, tortured to death and leaving no remains.
Reborn yet again, I took a knife and disfigured my own face...
Watching my sister act as frivolous and arrogant as she did in my previous two lives, I no longer try to stop her.
“Joy Lynn, just because you were born a few minutes before me doesn't give you the right to act like my older sister and try to discipline me.”
“I think you're just worried I'll snag the heiress's second-generation rich boyfriend and become successful. You're just jealous!”
My sister, Vivian Lynn, curled her lips, her face filled with disdain.
“Jason was going to ask me out to dinner today, but you pulled me away, making me miss a golden opportunity! I'm telling Mom about this when I get home!”
Hearing my sister Vivian Lynn's words, I realized I had been reborn at this crucial moment.
Jason was the wealthy, second-generation rich boyfriend of the school beauty heiress, as my sister described.
My sister and I were both beautiful, but Vivian's impressive piano skills further attracted Jason's attention.
Unlike my previous life, I didn't argue; I simply allowed my sister, Vivian Lynn, to revel in her smugness.
Unsurprisingly, Vivian Lynn, who was spoiled rotten at home, immediately complained.
My mother angrily ordered me to kneel.
“Joy Lynn, you only have yourself to blame for being so useless! Don't you dare hinder your sister's path to success!”
“I gave you that beautiful face, and all you do is sulk around with a sour expression!”
Dad beamed as he embraced my younger sister, Vivian Lynn.
“And you call yourself the older sister, ha! You never think about helping me, the head of this family! If you could just get involved with the Chambers Family! The resources! I could get promoted several times a week!”
“Worthless child! I gave birth to twins, so how is it that your sister is sweet, charming, and ambitious, while you're just a useless bookworm!”
Listening to my biological parents' constant nagging, I felt nothing at all.
I, who consistently ranked first in my major and used my scholarships to support the family, was dismissed as a mere bookworm.
But my sister, uneducated and obsessed with marrying rich, was treated like a precious treasure.
In this family, my parents' favoritism had long since extinguished any warmth I might have felt.
The experiences of my previous life had also left me utterly disillusioned.
My sister, Vivian Lynn, looked down at me arrogantly, her hands clasped in front of her.
“Joy Lynn, in the future, stay out of my affairs! Just do your job!”
“I've invited Jason to tomorrow's talent show, so you better play well for me!”
The thought made me sneer.
So-called twins; I'm nothing more than Vivian Lynn's tool.
All of Vivian Lynn's glorious achievements should have been mine!
Seeing my silence, Mom slapped me across the face.
“Your sister is talking to you! Are you mute or something?!”
I frowned, a nameless anger welling up inside me.
“Didn't she say she didn't want me meddling in her affairs? If she wants to seduce him, she can do it herself!”
“Slap!” Mom slapped her across the face again.
“I paid extra to send you to learn the piano back then. Luckily, you play well enough to assist your sister. Otherwise, I'd break your legs!”
“You ruined your sister's date with the Chambers Family's eldest son today, and you still dare to talk back! If it weren't for your performance tomorrow, I'd beat you to death, you worthless thing!”

My sister smirked, watching me get slapped twice in quick succession.
She threw the dress at me.
“This dress is expensive! You should be grateful I'm even letting you wear it.”
I scoffed, “If you're so capable, you do it yourself.”
“You!”
My words struck a nerve. Jason is only interested in her because she plays the piano so well.
In past lives, I believed that if I simply fulfilled my role of helping my sister, my parents would finally treat me with kindness.
But all I received in return was cold indifference and cruelty from my family.
As the older sister, I once wholeheartedly tried to protect her, worried she'd be tempted and blinded. My earnest advice was repaid with a death of a thousand cuts.
With that in mind, I decided that this time, I won't help my sister again, nor will I crave the family warmth that isn't mine to begin with!
The next day, during the long break, I deliberately sprained my ankle in front of my classmates.
The evening was the talent show, and my sister was frantic when she heard I'd sprained my ankle.
She rushed to the infirmary and, seeing the school doctor bandaging my ankle, flew into a rage.
She strode right up to me.
“Joy Lynn! Are you doing this on purpose?”
I spread my hands innocently. "Sister, don't be ridiculous. A sprained ankle is a sudden thing; I can't control it. It looks like tonight's gala performance...
Medical staff were present, and my sister hurried forward to cover my mouth.
She lowered her head and whispered in my ear, "Are you crazy? If you say that now, everyone will know I wasn't the one who played the piano earlier!"
My piano playing was once so good that I received an invitation from the National Symphony Orchestra, but because of my sister's jealous remark, Mother immediately refused the invitation on my behalf.
Becoming an accomplished pianist has always been my dream.
But my biological parents nipped my dream in the bud, warning me that my birth was solely to pave the way for my sister's success.
Just then, Jason, the school heartthrob, came after her, concerned by my sister's sudden departure.
Seeing this, my sister glared at me, hissing, "If you dare say a word, I'll rip your mouth off!"
Then, turning to Jason, her eyes filled with tears, she said anxiously, "I'm so sorry, Jason. My sister twisted her ankle, and I was so worried that I rushed over here."
Seeing this, the school heartthrob, Jason Chambers, wiped away his sister's tears. “Don’t cry. You have a performance tonight, and you won’t look good on camera if your eyes are swollen.”
Hearing this, my sister's eyes drifted to me, unfocused.
I didn't interact much with Jason Chambers; I only knew he was the current boyfriend of the heiress and school beauty.
The heiress and school beauty was away in the United States as an exchange student. It was precisely because of their long-distance relationship that my sister had the opportunity to succeed.
“You must be Vivian Lynn's older sister. You two look so much alike.”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but tremble. In previous lives, because I looked like my sister, I was repeatedly used as a shield.
Even knowing that Vivian Lynn was the one who cheated, Jason Chambers would still protect her, blatantly lying to redirect the returning heiress's anger onto me.
In short, Jason Chambers isn't a good person either.

After Jason Chambers left, my sister became extremely anxious and clung to the school doctor.
“How long will it take for my sister's foot to heal?”
“It takes about a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. Although this isn't serious, it will still take at least three or four days.”
Upon hearing that it would take three or four days, Vivian Lynn exclaimed, “What! Three or four days! Is there any way to make it heal faster!”
The school doctor was clearly annoyed. “This is the school infirmary. If you continue to cause a scene, I'll have you removed!”
“There's no quick fix. You'd be lucky to recover in three or four days.”
Leaving the school infirmary,
My sister, Vivian Lynn, glared at me resentfully.
“Joy Lynn, are you completely useless! You can't even walk properly! Knowing how important this is! Couldn't you be more careful!”
“Important? Whose important event are we talking about, yours or mine? As far as I'm concerned, tonight's gala performance is completely unnecessary, especially since it's not even registered under my name, is it?”
“You!” Vivian Lynn pointed at me, her eyes wide. “I don't care! You have to endure the pain and go on stage!”
I sneered, "Vivian Lynn, are you trash? Do you really think I can play better than you with a sprained ankle? Besides, Jason Chambers already saw me sprain my ankle. If I mess up on stage, do you think someone as shrewd as him wouldn't figure it out?!
My younger sister, Vivian Lynn, was frantic.
Of course she's frantic. With me covering for her, she hasn't practiced the piano in six months.
Her fundamentals were already weak to begin with; how could she compare to me in my prime?
Now she's just asking for trouble!
That evening, my sister reluctantly went on stage. Seeing Jason Chambers frowning in the audience, I smirked.
Back home, I looked at my face in the mirror and made a firm decision: I would destroy this face with my own hands.
I picked up a knife and slashed two long wounds across my face.
Once the wounds healed, they would be distinct enough to differentiate me from my sister, Vivian Lynn, on camera.
In my previous life, my resemblance to my sister, Vivian Lynn, allowed her to pass herself off as me.
So in this life, I disfigured my own face. Vivian Lynn, who is so obsessed with beauty, could never bring herself to do something so cruel.
Vivian Lynn, my sister, returned from her performance and sobbed uncontrollably.
“It's all Joy Lynn's fault! If she hadn't sprained her ankle, Jason Chambers wouldn't have left before the performance even finished!”
“Mom and Dad! Do you know what Jason Chambers said? He said I'm not as beautiful as I used to be!”
“Mom and Dad! It's definitely that bitch of a sister! She's tired of living in my shadow, she's jealous of me! She wants to steal everything I have!”
Hearing my younger sister, Vivian Lynn, crying hysterically downstairs for no good reason, I rolled my eyes.
How did I end up with such a brainless family?
My younger sister, Vivian Lynn, was spoiled rotten growing up. She never considered whether she was at fault, only blaming me and using me as her punching bag.
And Mom and Dad couldn't bear to see Vivian Lynn upset, so they immediately joined forces and dragged me downstairs.
They tossed me onto the ground like garbage.
They were shocked when they suddenly saw my face.
“What have you done to your face!”
Sister Vivian Lynn said resentfully, "I think elder sister knows she did something wrong and is afraid Mom and Dad will blame her! So she deliberately disfigured her face to try and win their sympathy! Elder sister, what a devious scheme!"
Mom and Dad always deeply believed everything my younger sister said.
Mom sneered, "You little bitch! You dare try to play tricks on your own mother! You sprained your ankle, did you? Does it really hurt so much that you can't perform!"
Mom grabbed my bandaged ankle and twisted it forcefully, causing me to cry out in pain.
“It's an honor for you to play the piano for your sister! Otherwise, what use are you to us? You eat our food and use our things! You should be happy to serve your sister!”
Tears streamed down my face from the pain. I don't understand why my parents don't love me, even though we're both their biological children.
But this face confirms that my sister and I are twins.
“Mom and Dad! I was so humiliated today. I don’t even know if Jason Chambers will still acknowledge me!”
“If it weren't for his heiress girlfriend being a piano player, I wouldn't even bother learning the piano!”
Seeing their younger sister complain, Mom and Dad immediately brought out the instruments of family discipline.
“Don't feel wronged, baby. Mom and Dad will teach this culprit a lesson!”
With that, the whip lashed at me, strike after strike.
In the end, they were a happy, harmonious family, while I crawled back to my room, barely clinging to life.
Closing the door, I took out my phone and watched the footage of the domestic abuse, recorded by the camera I had installed in a plant in the living room. A satisfied smile crept across my face.
Joy Lynn didn't suffer that beating for nothing!

The next day at school, I went to the infirmary. Using the excuse that I had lost a valuable piece of jewelry the day before and needed to retrieve the surveillance footage, I extracted the segment featuring Vivian Lynn and me.
After that, I passed a small grove on my way to the registrar's office.
Familiar sounds drifted from the grove.
It was my sister, Vivian Lynn.
“Jason, didn't you say you weren't satisfied with yesterday's piano performance and wanted me to make it up to you?”
“Then let me make it up to you properly today.”
My sister's voice was both familiar and foreign, and the explicit conversation that followed nearly made me throw up.
In my previous life, this video of them having sex in the open was posted on the campus forum, eventually reaching the school beauty heiress in the United States, who flew back overnight.
At the time, I didn't know who had taken the video. Now, looking around, I see someone hiding in the bushes to the side.
I clapped my hand over his mouth, and he panicked.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"But you have to help me with something."
After resolving that issue, I quickly headed to the school affairs office.
Because we lived nearby, my sister, Vivian Lynn, and I had always been day students. Now, I just wanted to escape that suffocating family.
I applied for dormitory accommodation.
My sister's family was overjoyed to hear that I would be living at school.
“Good riddance! One less mouth to feed!”
“We won't give you a single penny for your room and board or living expenses! We're saving our money to buy clothes for your sister!”
“Only if your sister is well-dressed and well-fed will she have a chance to snag a wealthy husband! Then our Lynn Family will finally prosper!”
My parents' actions were exactly as I expected.
Fortunately, I've always been a saver. I secretly put away a good amount of money from the awards I won for previous performances.
Back in the dorm, my roommates were chattering excitedly.
"Wow, she truly lives up to her title as school beauty; she won an international piano award this time."
I glanced at my roommate's phone screen, which displayed Claire Chow's social media profile.
I secretly took note of it, and in the middle of the night, I sent her a private message on social media.
I sent her the evidence I'd obtained from that person, proving Jason Chambers and my sister, Vivian Lynn, were having an affair.
The next day, a video of Jason Chambers and my sister, Vivian Lynn, having sex in the wild went viral.
Furthermore, Jason Chambers's family background made the scandal even harder to contain.
“Oh my god! Isn't Jason Chambers dating the school beauty? Did he just cheat on her?”
“Damn! Isn't that the girl who's called the 'little school beauty'? Seriously, does she think she's the real school beauty now?”
“This is outrageous! I heard the school beauty's IP address has been constantly changing today. Looks like she's back for revenge!”
“Scumbag and slut! Come out and face the consequences!”
And Jason Chambers, who is so concerned with his reputation, immediately thrust his younger sister, Vivian Lynn, into the center of public scrutiny.
He issued a public apology on social media, filled with lamentations for the heiress and school beauty, Claire Chow. He claimed that had his younger sister, Vivian Lynn, not deliberately seduced him, he wouldn't have been misled into mistaking Vivian Lynn for Claire Chow, the heiress and school beauty.
This explanation lacked all credibility, but Jason Chambers had the capital to ensure that all the blame was shifted onto his younger sister, Vivian Lynn.
I made a special trip home and hid outside her door, listening to my younger sister, Vivian Lynn, crying and smashing things. I felt immense satisfaction.
“It must have been my sister! It had to be her. I saw someone who looked just like her at the time!”
“That beast! If she comes back, I'll beat her to death!”
Mom and Dad kept calling me, but I not only refused to answer but hung up on them.
This infuriated the three people inside even more.
“Mom and Dad, my sister has ruined my reputation! How can I ever face anyone again! I don't want to live anymore!”
“If that heiress comes back for revenge, she'll probably toy with me until I'm dead!”
Immediately after, there was the sound of someone hitting a wall, followed by Mom and Dad's distressed screams.
“Oh, my precious darling! Doesn't your sister have the same face as you? Let your sister take the fall!”
“Really?”
Hearing this, I chuckled to myself.
“But Mom, my sister has a scar on her face. I don't.”
“My sister must have done it on purpose! No wonder she suddenly has a scar; she must have foreseen this day!”
He, not entirely stupid.
“Damn it! If I didn't need her to take the blame, I wouldn't have disfigured my own face!”
The moment the words were spoken, the sound of a noisy crowd erupted from the corridor.
Leading the charge was a girl with an extraordinary air, already seething with rage, followed by a constantly pleading Jason Chambers.
Claire Chow kicked him away and furiously pounded on the door.
"Get out here, you mistress!"
