Chapter 1
In my last life, my little sister had been out of college for years and hadn’t done a damn thing with her life.
On her birthday, she stood up in front of the whole family and announced she wanted to be a “mukbang” streamer.
I warned her that gig usually means bingeing, purging, wrecking your body.
I never thought she’d hate me for saying it.
Later, she stumbled across a college friend who’d also gone into mukbang and now had millions of followers.
Envy burned her alive.
One night, furious and out of her mind, she dumped a pot of boiling hot oil–fresh from frying chicken wings – right over me.
I died screaming.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at her birthday party.
“I’m telling you, I’ll be rolling in cash p>
“Why can’t you people see the bigger picture?! ”
The candles on her cake flickered out, the lights snapped on.
Lila’s eyes glittered with hope as she scanned the room.
“You guys will back me up, right p>
Mom and Dad beamed, calling her smart and ambitious.
Our younger brother Brayden didn’t even look up, glued to his phone.
Then Lila lifted her chin at me.
Exactly like the first time around.
“So, Chloe, what do you think p>
I smiled. “Sure. Eating food and making money? Sounds great.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ.net
What I didn’t say–this line of work is brutal.
Most streamers gorge themselves and throw it up.
Do that long enough, you destroy your stomach, rot your teeth, and jack up your esophagus.
Plenty of them end up with cancer.
As a licensed nutritionist–and as her sister–I couldn’t approve of it.
Last time, I tried to stop her.
I thought I was protecting her.
Turns out, I was digging my own grave.
Back then, she didn’t show her resentment.

I Came Back Cold, But I’m the One Burning Them Down
Chapter 1
She was lazy, coasting ever since graduation.
But when she saw her old roommate raking in millions online, jealousy swallowed her whole.
She decided I’d ruined her shot at fame.
And so, one night, she poured that boiling grease straight onto my skin.
Blisters bloomed across my face as I screamed.
My parents and brother covered it up for her.
At my funeral, they didn’t even shed a tear.
Worse, they held my picture and said it was my fault–my “short–sightedness” had ruined Lila’s future.
That was my family.
The same family I’d killed myself protecting.
What a joke.
Thinking of it now, I couldn’t help but smile wider.
This time, I’d sit back and watch.
Let’s see just how far Lila gets without me standing in her way.
