Chapter 1 — Step by Step Take Me to Hell

Updated 10/08/2026 8 min read

The maid's daughter changed my college entrance exam aspirations — from Bac Dai to Truong Thanh Dieu. She slandered me on purpose for doing this to antagonize my parents, making them so angry that they broke off their relationship. She spread rumors about me, my boyfriend cursed me horribly in front of all the teachers and friends at school. She intentionally separated me, causing each of my close friends to leave one by one. My life fell into despair, and she used my father's money to send her to college. Before I died, she smiled and said she would replace me, receiving all the love from my parents, my boyfriend, and my friends. Opening my eyes again, I returned to the day I filled out my wishes. The maid's daughter stood in front of the room door, smiled and asked: "Chi Chi, have you finished filling in your wishes?" 1 Cao Tieu Vi wore a white Dior dress and a Cartier necklace and bracelet. The white oval face, the clear and innocent eyes - the whole person looked as delicate as a newly bloomed jasmine. This temperament is absolutely something her mother - a maid with a monthly salary of six thousand - could have raised. She spoke sweetly and intimately, as if she was truly happy for me. I narrowed my eyes. Three years ago, when she came to my house, my parents and I both considered her like family. What I eat, what I wear, what I use, I prepare extra portions in the house for her. My father used his connections to get her into the same important school as me. My mother hired a golden tutor for me and let her study with me. Even in my group of rich friends, I also brought her to join. In front of everyone, I always say: "Cao Tieu Vi is my sister." But even so, in her previous life, before she died, she said: she had enough of being my shadow. The money I had, the love of my parents, the achievements I was proud of, even the most popular boyfriend in school — all made her crazy jealous. Ha. When I die, I understand that an ungrateful dog can never be raised as a family member. I curled my lips and smiled slightly. "Yes, I choose Bac Dai. What about you? With your scores, you can probably still get into a second-rate school." Cao Tieu Vi pursed her lips and said nothing. Studying the same program for three years, I got 680 points, she got 480 points. No wonder she hates me so much. But if you have a poor mind, why don't you let others be better than you? The funny thing is that at that time I actually advised her to repeat a year. She walked in, grabbed my hand: "Chi Chi, the rice is finished cooking. My mother told me to specially make many of your favorite dishes today, congratulations on passing Bac Dai." I withdrew my hand from hers and calmly said: "Okay, I'll be down later." She was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled: "Yes, please come down quickly, I'll go call my uncle and aunt." When Cao Tieu Vi turned to leave, I called her back. I spoke softly as if I were having a normal conversation: "In the future, remember to knock on the door first when entering my room. The minimum politeness should still be there, don't you think?" Cao Tieu Vi's face turned a little white. 2 Before, I treated her like my own sister, didn't hide anything from her, and never needed to knock when entering my room. A trace of resentment flashed in Cao Tieu Vi's eyes, then she bit her lip, bowed her head and said softly: "Sorry Chi Chi, I will pay attention in the future." After she left, I turned back to look at the curtain computer image. The request has been filled in. Today is the last day to fill out your college application. Thinking back, in my previous life, perhaps after I finished filling out, Cao Tieu Vi took advantage of my time when I wasn't paying attention, sneaked into the room, and secretly changed my wishes. I could go downstairs right now, kick them and their mother out of the house, and not give them another chance. But one is that it's hard to explain to my parents, two... with what she did to me in my previous life, with that cruel mind, just sending her away would be too gentle. I worked on the computer for a while, then walked downstairs. Cao Tieu Vi was saying something that made my parents laugh so hard. My father laughed loudly: "Tieu Vi, it's okay if the school isn't good, don't be afraid, in the future just join my company and work, I'll give you a salary of 20,000 per month." She looked at him gratefully and thanked him profusely. Her mother standing next to her also smiled brightly, her mouth could barely close. Cao Tieu Vi knows how to please, even more than my biological daughter. In her previous life, that's why she had the opportunity to slander me in front of my parents, saying that because I was angry, I didn't value my own future. I squeezed in between her and my father, wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek: "Dad! What about me? Your daughter has passed the Bac Dai exam! Isn't she so talented? Tell me, am I good?" My father was stunned for a moment. After all, since I was growing up, I have never been this close or coddled like this. On the contrary, Cao Tieu Vi always appeared obedient and skillfully pleased him, so he always considered her as his real daughter. But then he quickly reacted, smiled brightly, and replied loudly: "Good, very good! Of course my daughter is the best! After graduating, are you still worried about not being able to find a job? Maybe when I want you to come back to work, you won't even agree!" I smiled and said: "If you want me to go back to work, that's fine, but I have to leave the company to you to manage!" My parents both burst out laughing. My mother patted my head and gently said: "Good girl, your father can't even ask for anything!" I glanced at Cao Tieu Vi. She looked at the close family of three of us, obviously her eyes were red with jealousy, but she still tried to pretend to laugh along. After the meal, I said I wanted to go out. In the past, every time I went to see friends, I would bring Cao Tieu Vi with me. But today, I deliberately didn't call her. Of course, even if she called, she would still find an excuse to refuse. After all, she has bigger things to do. 3 I sat comfortably on the sofa in the cafe, leisurely playing games. At that moment, my phone announced: my computer had just been turned on. I immediately turned on the surveillance software - the camera on the laptop clearly recorded Cao Tieu Vi's face, distorted and cruel. She glued her eyes to the screen with a look of intense concentration. Five minutes later, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. I smirked and called her. Cao Tieu Vi lowered her head and saw that I was calling, her face immediately panicked, she quickly turned off the computer and ran out of my room. I pretended not to know anything and softened my voice: "Tieu Vi, what are you doing? It took me forever calling to answer the phone." “No… nothing, I just took a nap, hehe…” “Can I invite you out to play for a while?” “Uh… I'm on my period, I'm not feeling very well…” “Is that so, okay, you can continue to rest.” I played on the street didn't come home until evening. At that time, the application filling system was officially closed. Cao Tieu Vi looked extremely relieved and excited. I looked at her and asked: "Tieu Vi, you look so happy? Is something good happening?" Cao Tieu Vi covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not that, I'm just thinking about the school farewell prom tomorrow, I'm quite looking forward to it. Oh right Chi Chi, let's go choose a prom dress tomorrow, okay?" As I walked upstairs, I calmly replied: "Dress? Van Van and I have already chosen it this morning. You can go by yourself tomorrow, I'll tell the driver to take you there." Cao Tieu Vi gasped: "Huh? Chi Chi, I..." I waved my hand to interrupt, pretended to yawn, then walked straight into the room. Cao Tieu Vi has been used to being a "parasite" for three years now. In the past, because I didn't want to hurt her pride, I always thoughtfully took care of everything from A to Z — dresses, shoes, jewelry, and even paid for her. She also took it for granted. Indeed, in my previous life, I did that. At the prom that year, Cao Tieu Vi was like Cinderella wearing a brilliant costume, attracting all eyes. I heard everyone admiring how beautiful she was, truly "my little sister", and felt... very proud. That very day, she secretly sneaked with my boyfriend - Lam Than Duong - on the rooftop. Thinking about Lam Than Duong, my heart cools down. He confessed to me after the university entrance exam, we had only known each other for less than a month. I only told this story to Cao Tieu Vi alone. Yet she secretly flirted with my boyfriend. In other words - not long after he fell in love with me, Lam Than Duong was already playing with both hands. The most infuriating thing was - clearly the two of them were scum, but in the end they poured dirty water all over my head, making me unable to hold my head up in front of the whole school. I picked up the phone and called my coach. "Brother Huy, there's something going on tomorrow, please help me."
