Chapter 1

My roommate is a competitive show-off who always speaks in sarcasm.

When someone posted about being insecure due to illness-related obesity, she commented below: "I'm so jealous you can be soft and chubby. I'm 5'3" and only 110 pounds. Please share your weight gain tips."

When someone celebrated escaping their toxic family, she posted screenshots of her parents doting on her, adding: "Support you. My mom forgot to give me my goodnight kiss today. So mad."

Because I'm mute, she's never taken me seriously.

Until our dorm dinner, when a child complimented me on my looks—

She AI-generated photos of me drinking with different men in bars and posted them online.

"I'm so jealous of my roommate. She's so beautiful and gets to hang out with so many guys."

"Unlike me—not only am I not as pretty as her, I've never even held a man's hand."

The comments below all called me a slut while praising her as a pure innocent flower.

Soon, the rumors spread.

I was reported and lost my guaranteed admission to an Ivy League graduate program.

She took the replacement spot and looked at me:

"Lyra, being mute means you have to take your losses in silence."

"But honestly, I really envy that you get to experience society. Unlike me—I can only go to grad school."

Looking at her smug expression, I narrowed my eyes.

What she doesn't know is that I'm not actually mute. I don't speak because I have the supernatural ability of reality manifestation through words.

Since she loves speaking in reverse so much, I'll make her reverse words come true.
