Chapter 1

A massive sandstorm was about to hit the Crimson Sands Wilderness, but my husband, Mark, suddenly suggested we take a family trip there.

He wanted to take maternity photos for his sister-in-law, Tiffany, who was due soon. He believed it would help her win "Top Pregnancy Influencer" and become a million-follower influencer.

But going there now, with the sandstorm imminent, meant everyone would be swallowed by the swirling sands. We'd all die together in that desolate place.

In my past life, as a geological engineer, I tried desperately to stop them. All I got was Mark's furious retort:

"If you make one more fuss, get out of this house!"

My in-laws, David and Susan, also yelled at me:

"You just can't stand to see Tiffany do well, can you? Afraid she'll become a big influencer and overshadow you!"

Ignoring their insults, I called the authorities and reported them for trespassing in a restricted zone, finally stopping them.

Tiffany gave birth smoothly, and the whole family was overjoyed.

But at the baby's welcome home party, she stabbed me in the back.

When the police arrived, Mark and the entire family gave a unified statement:

"She's mentally unstable. She suddenly went crazy and tried to kill Tiffany, so Tiffany acted in self-defense!"

Tiffany seized the opportunity to play the victim, truly becoming an influencer. The whole family lived an enviable life.

My mom, Eleanor, tried to get justice for me, but she was slandered, accused of extortion and causing trouble. She eventually suffered a fatal stroke on the street, overcome with grief and rage.

Only after I died did I realize it was all Tiffany's scheme.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Mark suggested the family trip to the Crimson Sands Wilderness.

This time, I'd just watch these ungrateful monsters vanish in the sandstorm!
