Chapter 1

Immediately after my rebirth, I signed the contract to livestream eating Carolina Reapers on the Mexican border.

In my past life, my husband’s childhood friend, Chloe, used a supernatural sensory-swap system to force her taste buds onto mine.

She deliberately ate raw aloe skins and drank pure wormwood extract on her daily livestreams to build a "resilient, struggling-girl-next-door" persona.

Meanwhile, back home, I would be drinking warm honey water but experiencing a bitterness so intense it caused stomach spasms and made me throw up blood.

I begged her to stop, but Chloe just looked at me with wide, innocent eyes.

"Amelia, I know you want Ethan’s attention, but you don't have to fake it so dramatically!"

Ethan’s voice back then had been filled with utter disgust.

"You’re too spoiled, Amelia. You sit at home all day doing nothing, yet you can't stand to see Chloe working so hard to pay off her debts."

Chloe’s "bitter detox" streams went viral for a month, and the internet crowned her the most inspirational girl of the year.

Meanwhile, I died in our bedroom of a ruptured gallbladder, literally starved and bitter to death. My body wasn’t even found until weeks later.

Since you love sharing tastes so much, Chloe, let’s see how you like the feeling of liquid fire burning through your stomach.
