In my past life, I hated my adoptive parents for taking me away, convinced they had stolen a rich family's daughter and left me to grow up in the countryside. After my biological parents found me, I cut ties with Gerald and Ruth, the couple who raised me, because my birth parents insisted it was the right thing to do. I thought I would finally live a good life, but my older sister ran away from her arranged marriage and I was forced to take her place. For decades, I never lived a single day for myself. I died full of regret and opened my eyes again as a child. I heard my biological parents say I was born weak and not worth bringing home. They left me crying in the snow and walked away with my sister in their arms. "Who would abandon a baby in the dead of winter?" Ruth gasped as she ran over and picked me up. Gerald shielded me from the wind, rubbing his hands for warmth. They looked at each other, and Ruth said firmly, "We saw her. That means we take her home."
