I was born with a jinx in my fate, destined to bring bad luck wherever I went. Right after I came into this world, I was switched at birth. My adoptive family's life turned upside down within three years. Then they finally sent me off to a hermitage in the dead of night. My mentor, Simon, said I carried too much resentment and needed to rest in solitude, or else I'd end up cursing everyone around me. Twenty years later, my real parents finally remembered I existed. The day I returned to the wealthy family, Charlotte Summers, the fake heiress, grabbed my hand, crying her eyes out. "I'm so glad you're back, Serena. This is all my fault. I never should've stolen your life." As she spoke, she "accidentally" slipped, about to fall right into me. With a blank look, I stepped back half a pace. Suddenly, the antique vase behind her exploded with a loud bang, as if it had shattered all by itself.
