The Plan That Should Have Worked

"Sorry, Annie. My throat's been hurting these past couple of days, so I really can't drink a milkshake."

"C'mon, drink it. It's already open. People might actually think there's something wrong with it if we keep passing it back and forth." I handed the milkshake back as I carefully watched Annie's expression.

"What are you talking about, Sienna? We just met today. Why would I ever poison you?" Annie's eyes flickered with a trace of panic before she quickly forced herself to sound calm.

"I'm kidding. Go on, drink." I nudged the milkshake a little closer to her.

I hadn't just learned that the milkshake was bound to a system before I died. I had also learned that the one who initiated the binding would suffer a backlash if they drank it themselves.

'I'll find a way to make you drink it even if you try to wriggle out of this, Redwood. This time, you're going to pay for what you did.'

I was already considering slipping it into her food if she kept turning away from it when she did something I didn't expect. She picked up the milkshake and took a sip.

"You know, the milkshakes from that shop by the school gate are actually pretty good. It's too bad that your throat hurts, Sienna. I'll treat you to one next time."

She kept drinking as she spoke. Her expression remained completely normal even after finishing more than half the cup. There wasn't the slightest sign of the backlash she was supposed to suffer.

'How's that possible?'

It was Annie herself who had told me that drinking the milkshake would trigger the backlash.

In my previous life, I had cursed her when I was on the verge of death, saying she would get what she deserved. She had only smiled and told me that the system could indeed backfire, causing her to feel as if 100 needles were piercing through her body.

But then, she added that I had already drunk the one milkshake that could have triggered that backlash for her.

I had been on death's door at the time. So, there was no reason for her to lie to me. Yet, she wasn't showing any signs of pain even after drinking the milkshake. What was going on here?

Faking Love To Save The General
For five years, I was locked away in the freezing royal dungeon, starved and used as a bloody plaything by the kingdom's sadistic Cabinet Minister, Brandt Fischer. He tortured me daily for one twisted reason: I simply looked like someone else. When he visited my cell to casually announce my father's execution and drag a silver dagger across my neck, he expected me to beg. Instead, I laughed, sank my teeth directly into his carotid artery, and was violently thrown against a jagged stone wall to my death. As my skull cracked and my blood stained the moss, I thought about my so-called family. The moment Brandt had demanded me, my father, the Duke, handed me over without a single hesitation to save his own political career. I was nothing but a disposable pawn, left to rot in the dark while the monsters who ruined my life thrived. I died suffocating on my own blood and absolute, destructive vengeance. Then, I opened my eyes. I was lying in my silk-sheeted bed, reborn as my fifteen-year-old self. Today was the exact day Lord Daryl Langley, the God of War, would be ambushed and crippled—the event that allowed Brandt to seize ultimate power. I immediately stole a horse, rode to the palace gates, and threw myself directly in front of Daryl's moving carriage. "I just didn't want to see a hero die like a slaughtered pig." I didn't care if I had to shatter my own ankle to hijack his convoy. This time, I was going to save the general, and he would become the blade I use to slaughter them all.
