Part 1Fire, Fury, and a Fiancé from Hell

The lab was exploding, and my childhood sweetheart was begging me to save him.

Suddenly, a barrage of bullet comments floated across the sky:

[The male lead has been reborn! This explosion wasn't an accident; he set it up on purpose. Anyway, the female supporting character is such a simp, she'll definitely rush in to save him like in her past life.]

[The male lead is so smart. After the fire started, he even poured some gasoline on it. Only by burning the supporting character to death can he avoid marrying her disfigured face out of gratitude like last time. He made the heroine be his mistress for eight years for nothing!]

[Good thing the male lead loves the heroine. After using the supporting character's dowry to build his empire, he suffocated her with a pillow so he could marry our heroine.]

[I remember the heroine is the supporting character's stepsister, right? She's already pregnant with the male lead's child? Tsk tsk, forbidden love between brother-in-law and sister-in-law, so spicy!]

[Supporting character, hurry in and save the male lead! We can't wait to see the sweet romance between the leads!]

Save him?

I pretended to be frightened, retreated to a safe distance, and then gracefully fainted.

My boyfriend's voice grew weaker.

I couldn't help but smile.

"Jason, in this life, I'm going to destroy you!"

* * *

Flames licked the glass windows of the laboratory, twisting my shadow into grotesque shapes.

Jason's hoarse cries for help rang in my ears.

"Sarah! Save me!"

But he was clearly certain I would rush in, his tone devoid of panic.

I didn't make a sound, standing still.

In my past life, I rushed into the fire and dragged him out, leaving half my face permanently scarred like a centipede.

He held me and cried, saying he would be responsible for me for the rest of his life.

But then he turned around and complained that I was an embarrassment to take out.

He forced me to hand over all the gold bars and property deeds my grandfather left me, claiming it was compensation for the grievance he suffered due to my disfigurement.

Bullet comments exploded in my vision again:

[Hurry up, the heroine is still waiting outside. Just waiting for the fire to get bigger so she can 'save' the supporting character's corpse. Then she can play the loving sister and trick the grandfather into leaving the inheritance to her!]

[Why isn't she moving? If something happens to the male lead, won't she die of regret?]

In the smoke, Jason coughed incessantly. Seeing no reaction from me for a long time, he finally panicked.

"Sarah, I saw you! Why aren't you coming in to save me!"

"My... my leg is pinned, I can't run! Don't worry, the fire isn't big yet, you'll be fine. Once we're out, I promise to marry you!"

I stared at the anxious face in the sea of fire, suddenly recalling how he suffocated me with a pillow in my past life, his face twisted as he blamed me:

"If you hadn't pestered me and used saving my life to blackmail me, why would I marry an ugly monster like you? You ruined my love with Chloe, you deserve to die!"

I curled my lips, my laughter drowned out by the crackling fire.

Since Chloe is so great, let her save Jason.

I took a sharp step back, ensuring the distance was safe.

Then, I let myself fall backward.

As I faked fainting, I faintly heard Jason's screams.

Getting weaker...

[What's wrong with the supporting character? Why did she faint? If she doesn't save him, what about the male lead?]

[It's over, it's over, the male lead poured gasoline this time! Where's the heroine? Come save him!]

A second before my eyelids closed, I heard the sirens of fire trucks approaching.

I covered my nose and mouth, the corners of my lips rising uncontrollably.

Jason.

Let the games begin.
