Rebirth of the Hated Character

With every move of her hands and every batting of her lashes, Selene was able to captivate the world with her delicate beauty. She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family. It didn't matter the context or truth behind the issue, Keira was to be blamed by everyone. "Selene can do no wrong! How can such a delicate, fragile thing think ill of someone? It must be Keira who is making up lies!" "How dare you cause your sister to become sick! Receive your punishment!" Such words were a norm for Keira. The place she called home was Hell's Gate, and the people she called family were poisonous demons. Her life was filled with blame and abuse hurled by her sister's supporters. She was schemed against, attacked, and ruined to the point of no return. The last nine months of her life were the worst. Her insomnia had developed into Sporadic Fatal Insomnia, causing her to lose weight as she suffered consistent sleepless nights. At the age of 23, Keira Castillo passed away alone in her dingy apartment. Her final moments were filled with dread as she begged and prayed to whichever god was listening. "If only I had one more chance..." To her delight, she had regressed to when she was 18. 'The man you love? I'm taking him. The title 'Queen of Showbiz'? That's also mine. Everything you gained from stepping all over me, I will take. My dear Selene, I will play you in the palms of my hands and live my life the way I was supposed to.'

Playing with Clay

The sweet smell of steamy eggs and freshly baked batter nearly made Isaac sick. He had eaten so many egg tart variants within the past three hours, and now he would have to eat another. As a person who disliked pastries, he tolerated it because of Keira.

Seeing her focused and determined expression while baking them was delightful. The way she pursed her lips whenever it didn't look right, her frowns and grins, and even her confused and lost expressions were oddly amusing.

If he had a daughter like this, he would have become a fool who only knew how to brag about his girl, yet at the same time, he would probably hide her from the world. Isaac wondered if this was how the Castillos felt about Keira, brainwashing her to live quietly in the confines of their home without question.

Perhaps all the pleasing things he saw in her had been from the years of specifically trained actions and reactions by the Castillos.
