"Help, help me! Anybody?" A weak voice came, but unfortunately no one heard. Soon, the sound finally faded away.

At four o'clock in the morning, the dormitory building of the variety show "Heroes-Making Alliance" was on fire.

When the sleeping celebrities heard the alarm, they woke up from their dreams and quickly ran downstairs. The young girls who had escaped from death hugged each other to comfort each other. Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. "Lilliana?! Did you guys see Lilliana?"

Lilliana Buchanan made her debut as a four-year-old child star. Because of her lovely appearance and great acting skills, she gained popularity as soon as she made her debut. Being in the industry for 14 years now, she became the nation's sweetheart, and her fans were all over the country.

Among the contestants, she was the one with the most fans and the highest support.

Hearing the cry, everyone looked up to Lilliana's room on the top floor, the sixth floor. At this moment, the entire floor was engulfed by the raging fire, and thick black smoke was rising from the window.

Instantly, some people's eyes turned red, while others were secretly happy.

The latter were wishing for Lilliana to be burned to death.

If Lilliana died, they would lose their strongest opponent.

The person in charge of the show, Reed Barrett, found that Lilliana was not in the crowd. In a panic, she grabbed another girl's hand and roared at her, "Your room is next to Lilliana's! Have you seen her?"

Besides being the nation's sweetheart, Lilliana was also William Cannon's fiancee, and William was the youngest son of the affluent Cannon family. Hence, Reed couldn't afford to lose Lilliana.

Meanwhile, the girl, who was being screamed at, was so scared that her face turned pallid. She stuttered, "When I went downstairs, I saw her door was locked, so I thought she had escaped!"

However, Lilliana never came down at all!

......

The locked room was ablaze with raging fire.

On the big bed lay a girl in a white nightdress. A poster fell on her face and was burning on her cheek. Yet, she remained still as if she was dead.

Just as the fire spread to the bed sheet, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her hazel eyes.

Watching the fire in the room, Lilliana was a little stunned.

Where was she?

Not long ago, she was kneeling on the top of a mountain. How could she be here as soon as she opened her eyes?

Just then, waves of strange memories swarmed into Lilliana's mind. Only then did she realize that she was no longer in her original world. This was not Earth, but another world called Zulraetune, which was a modernized world.

Lilliana had time-traveled from the apocalypse time on Earth to Zulraetune.

She was a mutated person and was picked up by her mother when the latter went hunting. Due to her physical traits, Lilliana did not feel hunger, tiredness, and pain. So, she could live a good life in the apocalypse time.

Not to mention that she was able to live long.

Living in the apocalypse time for more than 200 years, Lilliana watched her family and friends die one by one until she was the only one left on Earth.

After living alone for a long time, Lilliana finally couldn't bear the loneliness and climbed up a high mountain. She knelt on the top of the mountains and looked down at this lonely world. Without hesitation, she stabbed a dagger into her heart and ended her life.

Just before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear a gentle sigh from ancient times. It was a man's voice. He said, "Go back!"

The moment Lilliana opened her eyes, she came to this world.

At the same time, Lilliana felt a burning pain on her skin.

Pain?

She shouldn't be able to feel any pain.

At the thought of that, Lilliana reached out to touch her throbbing cheek, only to find that there was a poster burning on her face. Quickly, she flipped the burning poster away, sat up, and walked to the window.

She hesitated when she found herself on the sixth floor.

If she jumped, she would either hurt herself or die.

However, glancing back at the sea of fire behind her, she decisively opened the window and jumped.

"Look! Someone jumped down!"

The crowd looked up and saw Lilliana jump down from the windowsill. Her slender body steadily landed on a cotton tree outside the building. Then, she jumped off the tree and landed on the ground in a natural and unrestrained manner, to which the crowd was stunned.

Was Lilliana the weak young lady who couldn't even unscrew a bottle of mineral water?

Seeing Lilliana land safely, Reed pushed through the crowd, walked toward Lilliana, and asked, "Lilliana, are you okay? I was so worried about you!" As Reed approached, she gained a good look at Lilliana's face.

Suddenly, Reed exclaimed, "Gosh, Lilliana! Your face—"

Lilliana's left cheek was covered with black ash, and her right cheek was completely burned. One could even see the white flesh inside through the red, swollen cheek. Being selected as the sweetest face by the country, Lilliana was likely to be disfigured now!

The nation's sweetheart was disfigured in Reed's tv show.

Thinking of the accusation and huge compensation that she and the crew were going to face after this, Reed was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went weak.

Reed forced herself to calm down and comforted Lilliana in a trembling tone, "Lilliana, don't worry. I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

Lilliana wanted to say something, but her body was too weak. Before she could see Reed's face clearly, she fell into the latter's arms.

Hurriedly, Reed caught Lilliana's body and coldly warned the group, "No one is allowed to spread the news of Lilliana's injury!" Under Reed's warning gaze, all the female contestants obediently nodded their heads.

Only then did Reed call the security guards to escort Lilliana to the hospital.

However, news spread fast. The news of Lilliana's injury got out eventually. Soon, the topic of "Lilliana's burned face" became trending on Twitter.

Reading the news, some mocked, and others felt sorry.

......

In the hospital—

When Lilliana was about to wake up, she heard an anxious female voice saying, "This d*mn girl is disfigured. It seems that we have to terminate the previous contracts we signed for shows and brand ambassadors. If that's the case, we're going to face a huge fine, which we're not gonna be able to afford!"

Lilliana could tell that the speaker was the foster mother of her new body, Poppy Bailey.

Poppy was also Lilliana's agent and was in charge of everything. Now that Lilliana's face was disfigured, Poppy and Melvin would be facing a huge fine caused by the termination of contracts.

At the thought of that, Melvin Buchanan growled angrily, "Let's get even with the show's production team! Lilliana was disfigured during the filming. The crew has to be responsible for it!"

"Even though the crew is willing to compensate us, Lilliana's face is still ruined. She can't be filming anymore." Poppy was unwilling to lose Lilliana as their source of income. No one was going to provide them with money in the future.

Then, at the thought of something, Poppy grew more anxious. "Darren's girlfriend is pregnant, and they're going to get married. I just bought him a new villa some time ago. We have to pay 50,000 per month for the mortgage! Now that Lilliana has become like this, we will lose our income!"

Darren was their son and Lilliana's brother.

Since Lilliana made a lot of money, Melvin and his family did not feel the need to have a decent job. Darren was also lazy. Relying on his sister's hard-earned money, he drove a luxury car and spent money lavishly.

Instantly, the Buchanans were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, worried that their good days were coming to an end.

Melvin was speechless for a moment.

Staring at Lilliana's bandaged face, Poppy had a vicious look as she stated in a low voice, "With Lilliana's look now, no man will want her. Mr. Cannon probably won't want to marry her anymore. We can't keep a money-losing girl, can we?"

Lilliana was not their biological daughter. She was just a tool used by Poppy and her husband to make money. Now that this tool had lost its value, it must be lost!

On the other hand, Melvin was a man. He knew very well that men loved beautiful women. No man was willing to marry an ugly woman, not to mention William had a noble status and excellent look.

Melvin was more shrewd than Poppy. He gazed at Lilliana gloomily and suggested, "Lilliana just had an accident. We can't drive her away directly. Otherwise, if the news gets out, we will be condemned by the public. We have to think of a good way to force her to leave on her own."

Poppy agreed with her husband. "Indeed. I'll call Mr. Cannon to sound him out. If he's still willing to marry Lilliana, we'll keep her. If he wants to cancel the engagement, then..."

There was a flash of cruelty in Poppy's eyes. She continued indifferently, "We can only send her away."

"Sounds right."

In the meantime, Lilliana, pretending to be asleep, had clearly heard the couple's conversation. She could not help but feel that it was not worth it for her host.

Her host had been earning money for the Buchanan family for 14 years. Even when she had a period cramp, she still had to force herself to shoot a film or an advertisement. She had gained wealth for the Buchanans. But now, the Buchanans were busy planning what they could do with her last value.

What a pair of venomous couple!

Lilliana had not figured out why her soul was transferred to another body. But now that she took over the new body, she would seek justice for her host!

No one could take advantage of her as a puppet any more.
