After rebirth, my wicked sister returns…

Chapter 1
My academically averse sister, Alayna James, suddenly decided to apply for college and convinced our parents to marry me, Sienna James, off to Colonel Dylan Webber’s son, Austin Webber, planning to use the wedding gifts to fund her education.
I knew it then–she had been reborn too.
In my previous life, Alayna thought education was useless and married Austin right after high school graduation, enticed by the generous gifts he offered.
Later, when Austin was reassigned to Adak, Alayna refused to follow him, complaining about the harsh environment.
Meanwhile, I worked my way through college, secured a stable job, and moved into the city.
Alayna began accepting bribes in the military district using Dylan’s name, which led to Dylan being investigated and ultimately punished by his superiors, resulting in Ella Webber, Austin’s mother, throwing her out.
After the divorce, Alayna was tricked into stock trading in Los Angeles, and when the market crashed, she lost all the money our parents, Gavin James and Natalia James, had saved.
Desperate, she came after me, threatening me with a knife to

hand over my savings and house, hoping to use that money to
recover.
In the chaos, I was stabbed twelve times and died from blood loss.
When I opened my eyes again, Alayna was convincing our parents to marry me off to Austin.
I gladly accepted and immediately dropped out of school.
“He’s the colonel’s son! What a great opportunity. If Sienna hadn’t brought them food back then, do you think you’d have this marriage prospect?”
“So what if his father is a colonel? Austin is just a recruit now. If I hurry and get into college, I can work in the city later. Finding a rich boyfriend will be much easier then.”
Gavin and Natalia kept trying to persuade her, but Alayna wouldn’t listen.
Ten Christmases ago, when Austin and Ella first arrived at our farm, they were emaciated and nearly dying.
No one dared approach them except me, who secretly brought them food and cotton clothes in the middle of the night.
Because of this, the first thing Austin and Ella did after returning to the city was to propose to my family.

In my previous life, Alayna took credit for my good deed.
Since it was dark, Ella couldn’t see my face clearly and only asked which family’s child I was.
Gavin and Natalia insisted that it was Alayna, their favorite daughter, who had delivered the supplies.

I watched helplessly as Alayna married Austin and enjoyed her moment of glory.
Gavin said, “College costs money. We’re poor–how are we supposed to
pay for
your education?”
He slammed the table in anger, making it shake.
Alayna replied, “Then let Sienna marry Austin. Ask his family for more money, and that’ll cover my college tuition.”
Alayna knew that marrying Austin meant following him to Adak, likely never to return, yet she deliberately pushed me into it.
She walked over to my spaghetti, snatched the book from hands, the edges of the pages painfully scraping my palm.

She said, “I’ve already told the teacher to cancel your enrollment. Give me your textbooks and workbooks–you won’t need school anymore.”

She was informing me, not asking for my opinion.
I looked up to meet Alayna’s gaze and smiled, “Sure.”

Natalia, seeing Alayna’s determination, sighed. “You really won’t listen to reason. You’ll regret this later!”
Then she turned to me. “You’re getting a great deal! When you marry into the Webber family, remember to introduce boyfriends to your sister. Forget about recruits like Austin–your sister will go to college, she should marry a lieutenant at least!”
Gavin and Natalia were always like this, thinking of Alayna first whenever something good happened.
They felt I didn’t deserve anything.
Just because when I was born, Natalia was in pain for three whole days and nearly died in childbirth. Since I was little, Gavin and Natalia called me a disaster.
So whenever Alayna bullied me, Gavin and Natalia thought she was avenging them.
This time, sending away the “disaster” while earning tuition money for Alayna seemed like a good deal to Gavin and Natalia.
They quickly responded to the matchmaker, saying they would double the originally agreed wedding gift amount, and the marriage was settled.

The matchmaker agreed while rolling her eyes.
As she left, I overheard her muttering, “All this fuss over the kindness of one meal–this family has no shame!”
