“Why are you acting innocent? Clearly you were the one who pushed me first!”

A shrill female voice rang beside her ear. Yin Tao rubbed the back of her aching head. When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful long-haired girl with an extraordinary temperament glaring at her.

“Yin Tao, didn’t you go to the police station for an internship? Why is your physical fitness still so lousy!” The long-haired girl’s tone was unfriendly and a trace of disgust flashed across her face.

“Babe, don’t you know head injuries are very dangerous?” Yin Tao had not grasped the situation, but as a professional forensic doctor, she couldn’t help imparting some medical knowledge. “If a brain trauma is serious and causes a hemorrhage, it can post traumatic shock or even death.”

The long-haired girl’s expression was uneasy. She was clearly surprised by Yin Tao’s response. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, but it was suddenly broken by a stern female voice.

“Shut up! Leave your technical jargon in your autopsy lab!”

An exquisitely made up, finely dressed woman walked up to Yin Tao in a few steps and sized her up as if she had seen a jinx. She frowned and said, “Ningning is meant to dance on a grand stage and getting injured is a very serious matter, unlike you who deal with dead people every day!”

Yin Tao was a little puzzled. The lady was right that she was a forensic doctor, but why did her lines sound so familiar?

Yin Tao sized up the two people in front of her. Judging from the 20-year age gap and their resemblance to each other, they should be mother and daughter. The surroundings were the living room of a villa, and when she looked at the scene of the mother and daughter against her… damn, why did this scene look so much like the melodramatic novel she read last night!

On the incessant recommendation of her colleague, Yin Tao had read a melodramatic novel titled “Nirvana Rebirth”.

The female protagonist of the novel, Yin Ning, was a slender, elegant and endearing dancer. After experiencing the tragic events in her first life, Yin Ning was reborn and avenged her previous humiliation. Not only did she help grow the family business, she also married an outstanding young man. She was successful both in love and in her career, and she successfully changed the fate of her entire family single-handedly.

Yin Tao was the cannon fodder female supporting character who shared the same name as her. She was the biological sister of the female protagonist, Yin Ning. As Yin Tao was upset with her family’s favoritism towards the female protagonist, she always made things difficult for her. In order to please her family, she resigned from her job as a forensic doctor and married a wealthy heir. However, she could only live a servile existence in her in-laws’ house by virtue of her child. After the female protagonist was reborn, Yin Tao was further reduced to a mere existence that complements the female protagonist. She lost her job and was also abandoned. She ended up utterly miserable.

Looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, Yin Tao’s mind raced as she said impassively, “You two, uh… have never treated me as family.” After saying that, Yin Tao hurriedly ran upstairs, leaving the mother and daughter dumbfounded on the spot.

“What’s wrong with her again?” Zhao Yue never liked her elder daughter’s easy going personality to begin with. Ever since Yin Tao became a forensic doctor, she all the more felt that she was jinxed.

“My elder brother called to say that he’s bringing me to a gathering tomorrow. She wanted to go too, so she’s throwing a tantrum with me…”

Yin Ning gazed in the direction where Yin Tao had left and felt a little puzzled. According to the original plot, Yin Tao would have had an even more intense argument with her before her mother returned, and would have caused her to fall down the stairs in a scuffle. Zhao Yue would coincidently witness this scene and thus intensify her hatred for Yin Tao. Yin Ning’s injuries would also have caused her to miss the following day’s gathering.

Ever since she was reborn, Yin Ning had been living cautiously. She cherished this opportunity to alter her fate. In her previous life, Yin Ning was in a traffic accident and could no longer dance. The Yin family’s business also plummeted. Due to excessive worry, she died of illness before she was 30 years old. On the other hand, her elder sister, who had been at odds with her since she was young, married into a wealthy family and appeared to be living quite well.

Yin Ning was unwilling to bow. The heavens had given her a chance to start afresh, and she would definitely seize it. However, why would her hot-tempered elder sister suddenly do something that detracted from the plot? Yin Ning could not help but worry. It’s just as well, in any case, she would definitely attend the gathering the following day, even if it was for the sake of the person she had missed in her previous life, she had to go.

…

Yin Tao ran into the room upstairs without stopping. She only heaved a sigh of relief after she saw the face that looked exactly like hers in the photo on the wall. She didn’t know if it was her muscle memory or her good luck, but this room happened to be the original Yin Tao’s bedroom.

“No way! Not only does this cannon fodder female supporting character have the same name as me, even her appearance is the same?!” Yin Tao looked in the mirror and tried her best to accept the reality she is facing.

Was she too out of character just now? Yin Tao had already tried her best to imitate the original Yin Tao’s lines, but she really wasn’t in the mood to quarrel with others. When she thought of the surprised expressions of the mother and daughter downstairs, Yin Tao scratched her head helplessly.

“Ah ah! If you want to transmigrate, so be it! But to get such a miserable role!”

Yin Tao shuddered at the thought of the plot that was going to unfold. She wasn’t prepared to get married, have children, compromise, and live like a disgruntled wife.

“Did I die suddenly from staying up all night reading?!”

Yin Tao had no idea why she would wake up in this novel. For that matter, she didn’t even know if she was dead or alive in the real world.

“Forget it, I can’t go back anyway. Let’s solve this problem at hand first.” The professionalism of a forensic doctor made Yin Tao exceptionally calm in the face of a crisis.

After a moment’s consideration, she decided to move out of the Yin home first. Yin Tao was now an intern at the police station, so she should be able to apply for a dormitory.

“As long as I don’t ask for trouble by being in the female protagonist’s way, those things shouldn’t happen…” Yin Tao thought for a moment and started packing her luggage. If she continued to stay in the Yin home, she would either be at odds with the female protagonist or be seen through. It was better for her to hide far away.

After a while of busying, Yin Tao packed her luggage and brought some basic daily necessities. She took out her cell phone and realized that she could actually remember the account password. It seemed that part of the original Yin Tao’s memory still remained in her body.

“This makes things easier…” Looking at the tens of thousands of yuan in her bank account, Yin Tao smiled. Although the original Yin Tao’s family didn’t like her, they didn’t treat her too shabbily as they were a wealthy family after all.

With some money on hand, food and accommodation at the police station, and the original Yin Tao having the same profession as her, it was not too bad to have transmigrated to her role. Yin Tao smiled bitterly and sighed as she helplessly pulled her luggage downstairs.

“What are you up to this time?” Zhao Yue’s face sank when she saw Yin Tao dragging her luggage down the stairs. The mother and daughter duo, who were originally happy and harmonious, became tense because of Yin Tao’s presence.

“Oh, I work too late sometimes. It’s more convenient for me to move to the dormitory.” Yin Tao had no feelings for the mother and daughter in front of her, so her tone was a little stiff.

“I’ve already said that you should quit that lousy job as soon as possible and work in your Dad’s company so that it won’t be difficult for you to get married in the future!” Zhao Yue had a headache whenever she thought of Yin Tao’s job. Her personality was bad to begin with, and with such a job, which man would want to marry her?

“You don’t have to worry. The profession of a forensic doctor is very good and I’ll work hard too!” Yin Tao ignored Zhao Yue. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yin Ning’s voice coming from behind her. “Elder sister, Mom is just worried about you. You know that both Dad and Mom don’t like your job!”

Yin Tao was a little surprised to see Yin Ning pretending to be concerned. When she was reading the novel, she didn’t realize that the female protagonist seemed to be a little pretentious.

“Younger sister, mind your own business. Best of luck!” Yin Tao patted Yin Ning on her shoulder and gave her a forced smile. After saying that, she left the Yin family villa without looking back.

“This girl is really getting from bad to worse!” Zhao Yue smashed the cup on the coffee table furiously as she watched Yin Tao leave.

Yin Ning’s brooding eyes darkened as she comforted Zhao Yue, “Mom, don’t you think elder sister’s behavior is a little abnormal?”

“Isn’t she still the same! Always making me worry!” Zhao Yue was in a fit of anger and didn’t feel that anything was amiss.

“If you had asked her to resign in the past, she would have definitely made a scene with you.” Seeing that her mother had calmed down, Yin Ning continued, “Sister doesn’t like the job of a forensic doctor either. She’s just dissatisfied with you making her work in Dad’s company.”

“It’s not like I don’t know, Yin Tao has been pitting herself against you in every aspect since she was young!” Zhao Yue sighed and said, “But how can she compare to you in any way!”

When Yin Ning heard Zhao Yue’s words, her mood improved a little. She wasn’t worried that Yin Tao would compare herself to her at all. Only Yin Tao’s recklessness and stupidity would make her appear gentle and sensible in comparison.

However, Yin Tao’s gaze just now made Yin Ning very uneasy. Compared to her usual jealousy and hatred, her gaze was calm and relaxed, as if she was looking at a stranger. Moreover, she didn’t seem to be so resistant to the profession of a forensic doctor anymore, and she seemed as if she had really planned to work hard.

After Yin Ning was reborn, the plot had always been under her control, so Yin Tao’s abnormality made her feel very uneasy. She was a little worried that the tragedy of her previous life would repeat itself.

Yin Ning frowned her long and slender brows, and she bit her lower lip. In this life, she was the only one who could make a change.

…

After leaving the Yin villa, Yin Tao followed the original Yin Tao’s memory and arrived at the police station smoothly.

The police station was located in the city and was a long distance away from the Yin villa. Yin Tao felt that her decision to leave the Yin home was correct. Not only would she be able to stay away from trouble, but it would also be more convenient for her to work in the police station.

As soon as she entered the police station, Yin Tao took out her cell phone to contact the original Yin Tao’s master. In the novel, Yin Tao’s master, Su Ning, was a very experienced forensic doctor. He was an upright person who took his work seriously. He used to treat the original Yin Tao quite well, but because the original Yin Tao was passive and indolent in her work, Su Ning did not have a good impression of her.

Yin Tao secretly resolved to change everyone’s impression of her. Although she wasn’t prepared to have anything to do with the main characters in the novel, she still valued her job as a forensic doctor and would definitely take it seriously.

She found the number in her cell phone’s call history and was about to make the call when she saw a young girl with a bright smile running quickly towards her.

“Xiaotao, aren’t you resting at home today? Why are you at the police station?” The girl was not tall, but her voice was very loud.

“Oh, I’m here to apply for a dormitory.” Yin Tao carefully sized up the girl in front of her and tried her best to recall every character in the novel. She was a supporting character after all, so the only person she could chat with at the police station was probably that rookie detective who had been briefly mentioned.

“Bai Luo?” Yin Tao said tentatively. When she saw that there was nothing unusual with the girl’s expression, she continued, “Is there a spare dormitory in the police station now?”

“There are quite a lot of empty dormitories. There are also extra beds in the room I’m staying in.” Bai Luo pulled Yin Tao and said warmly, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll help you fill in the check-in application. You can stay with me.”

“That’s good too.” Although they had only exchanged a few words, Yin Tao felt that the girl in front of her had a very good personality. There weren’t many descriptions of Bai Luo in the novel because the original Yin Tao had resigned from her job as a forensic doctor. However, Yin Tao could tell that compared to her pretentious younger sister, the girl in front of her was much easier to get along with

Under Bai Luo’s enthusiastic guidance, Yin Tao quickly familiarized herself with the police station’s environment. She was very adaptable and was clearly more suitable for this job than the original Yin Tao.

“Xiaotao, why do I feel like you’ve become a different person after a trip home? You used to be chatty.” Bai Luo saw that Yin Tao had been silently packing her luggage and did not speak much. She felt that Yin Tao was much more composed than before.

“Uh… Is that so? Perhaps it’s because I have decided to take my work seriously.” Yin Tao hung the clothes in the cupboard and smiled awkwardly.

It seemed that she was quite different from the original Yin Tao. Even her colleagues who had not known her for long could sense it. Fortunately, she did not stay in the Yin home. Otherwise, Yin Ning and Zhao Yue would definitely have noticed her abnormality.

“Really? Didn’t you say that you just wanted to be done with the internship and then find a chance to work in another department?” Bai Luo was a little puzzled. Yin Tao had a clear disdain for the job of a forensic doctor previously.

“No, I’ve straightened out my thinking. Forensics is the most suitable job for me!” Yin Tao’s tone was serious. To her, everything else was unknown, the job of a forensic doctor was the only thing she still had some confidence in.

“That’s good. I’m really looking forward to working with you!” Bai Luo was genuinely happy. The forensic doctors she had come into contact with before had huge age gaps with her. It was really rare to see a young and beautiful female forensic doctor like Yin Tao.

When she was almost done packing, the corners of Yin Tao’s eyes twitched as she looked at the cabinet full of ethereal monotone dresses. When she was previously packing her luggage at the Yin home, she realized that the original Yin Tao’s taste was really bland. The original Yin Tao had a baby face just like hers, but perhaps she wanted to imitate Yin Ning’s virginal temperament, so she always wore mature, ladylike long dresses. She looked like a child who had stolen her parents’ clothes and looked neither fish nor fowl.

“Bai Luo, is there any mall nearby?” Yin Tao really did not want to wear these clothes anymore.

“Yes, let’s go together. I also want to buy some clothes.” After saying that, Bai Luo pulled Yin Tao out of the dormitory.

Yin Tao’s heart was filled with warmth as Bai Luo held her hand. It seemed that this unfamiliar world wasn’t as bad as she had imagined. Yin Tao felt that as long as she worked hard and stayed far away from the protagonists in the novel, she could still live very well even if she couldn’t return to her original world.

However, there was still a huge gap between ideal and reality. As soon as she walked to the high street with Bai Luo, Yin Tao heard someone calling her name from behind.

“Yin Tao!”

Yin Tao turned around. A man who looked to be in his late twenties got out of a silver-gray sports car and walked towards her and Bai Luo.

Yin Tao recognized the man in front of her. He dressed smartly in a crisp white shirt and black trousers, and was about 1.8 meters tall. His features were somewhat similar to hers, but he was much more mature and colder.

This man was the original Yin Tao’s elder brother, Yin Hao. He was mature and steady in his actions, but a little apathetic toward people. Yin Hao and Yin Tao’s appearances were more similar, but compared to the wilful and overbearing Yin Tao, Yin Hao clearly preferred the gentle and sensible younger sister, Yin Ning.

“Big brother.” Yin Tao knew that she would have to face him sooner or later, so she greeted Yin Hao in a relaxed manner.

“Eh, shopping with friends?” Although Yin Hao didn’t quite like Yin Tao, he still tried his best to treat his two younger sisters impartially.

“Eh, this is Bai Luo, a detective. She’s my partner during my internship.” Yin Tao looked at the infatuated Bai Luo and smiled helplessly. Indeed, her elder brother was definitely considered outstanding in terms of looks.

“Hello, Officer Bai. My younger sister is usually a little naughty, thank you for taking care of her.” Yin Hao greeted Bai Luo in a very gentlemanly manner and took out a card from his wallet. He stuffed it into Yin Tao’s hand and said, “Buy something you like with your friend and pick a gift for Dad. Sunday is Dad’s birthday. Don’t forget to come home.”

Yin Tao took the card that Yin Hao had given her and was somewhat at a loss. Sunday was a grand scene for the protagonists to appear, and she really didn’t want to go and cause any disturbance.
