Chapter 1My Baby Was Swapped With My Sister-in-Law’s

The day I gave birth, my sister-in-law, eight months pregnant, suddenly went into premature labor. My sister-in-law gave birth to a healthy boy, gaining status through her son and successfully marrying into a wealthy family. I, however, delivered a stillborn baby and suffered injuries that left me unable to have more children. My mother-in-law forced my husband to divorce me. When he refused, she threw him out of the house. Distraught, he suffered a heart attack and died tragically. To claim his inheritance, my mother-in-law ran me over with her car, killing me.

After I died, I discovered that my sister-in-law's son was actually my child. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law had conspired to steal her. They were responsible for my husband's and my tragic deaths!

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my sister-in-law and I gave birth simultaneously.

I abruptly opened my eyes and touched my round belly, realizing I had been reborn. My sister-in-law, Lily Stone, eight months pregnant, sat beside me, reaching out to touch my stomach. She said with a concerned expression, "Sister, your nephew is moving in your belly. He's so lively. Your due date is today, right?"

Lily had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of greed and calculation. Her hand was cold and clammy, making me shiver involuntarily. I subtly shifted my body, pulling away from her hand. It was laughable. In my previous life, I hadn't seen through the wolfish ambition hidden beneath Lily's concerned smile. I had believed she genuinely cared for me, her sister-in-law, and treated her like my own sister. But she had conspired with my mother-in-law to destroy my family.

In my previous life, my mother-in-law ran me over with her car on the roadside. Strangely, after I died, my soul didn't leave but returned to the day of childbirth. I watched everything that happened that day as if it were a movie. The day I gave birth, my eight-month pregnant sister-in-law suddenly went into premature labor and went to the same hospital as me. I was in labor for three agonizing hours, giving birth to a healthy baby boy with all my strength. But the moment he was born, my mother-in-law took him away. Just then, my sister-in-law also gave birth, but it was a stillborn baby girl due to prematurity.

When I woke up, my mother-in-law held the deceased fetus in front of me, telling me it was my child, born dead. While I was heartbroken and distraught, my sister-in-law cradled my son, happily snuggling in the arms of her wealthy boyfriend.

Lily had been dating a man from a prominent family, but his mother had declared that Lily could only enter their family if she gave birth to a son. Having finally become pregnant, Lily was naturally eager to know the baby's gender. My mother-in-law consulted an old traditional doctor who examined both Lily and me. The doctor informed my mother-in-law that Lily was carrying a girl, while I was carrying a boy. From then on, my mother-in-law and Lily fixed their eyes on my belly.

They deliberately sent my husband, Ethan, away two days before my due date for a cousin's wedding. After I gave birth, they stole my child. Lily, gaining status through the son, successfully married into the wealthy family. When I learned my child was stillborn, I became emotionally agitated, suffered postpartum hemorrhage, and completely lost my ability to have children. My mother-in-law cursed me as a barren hen and demanded my husband divorce me. My husband staunchly refused. My mother-in-law then lashed out at him, calling him unfilial and an animal, ordering him out of the house. In a fit of rage, my husband suffered a heart attack and died tragically beside me.

After my husband's death, he left behind an inheritance of two houses. To seize the inheritance, my mother-in-law ran me over with her car right outside our home. After my death, she and Lily conspired to say I died in an accident. They cremated me hastily and discarded my ashes in a landfill.

I never imagined that fate would be so kind as to give me another chance at life. This time, I must protect my child and make my mother-in-law and sister-in-law pay for their actions!
