Chapter 1

My sister's birthday fell on a National Day of Mourning.

I bought a big cake and came home to celebrate with her.

She made a wish to become a famous journalist like me.

I joked that saying wishes out loud makes them not come true.

The next second, my mother shoved my face into the cake.

"How can you curse your sister like that?"

I knew there was no point arguing with my mother, who always favored my sister, so I stood up to wash my face.

But my sister grabbed my arm.

" Madison, Mom's just joking. Getting some cake on your face on a birthday is good luck!"

My mother scolded me for making a big deal out of nothing.

My boyfriend also urged me to sit down and eat.

But I was about to go live for the moment of silence!

The phone rang. My sister quickly answered the video call.

Millions of viewers in the livestream saw me with a face full of pink frosting.

I got cyberbullied for "disrespecting the deceased."

When I walked out of the TV station, I was killed by a bereaved family member who ran me over with their car.

The day after my death, I watched my sister, who had just graduated from college, walk into the TV station.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jessica. I will absolutely uphold journalistic ethics!"

Starting over, I stood at the front door with the cake and my boyfriend.
