Sunny stood frozen where he was, his back stiff, his whole face the color of ash

He looked like he’d lost the will to fight

His lips moved slightly, as if trying to form words, but his gaze had fallen to the floor like a child caught doing something wrong

That look alonewas as good as a confession

Sunny, it’s not like you need the money. Why would you sell the exam questions?someone couldn’t help but demand, their voice rising with emotion

Every student in the room had a tangled look on their face

On one hand, they couldn’t understand why Sunny would do something like this. On the other, they were quietly blaming him

He’d betrayed themstabbed the whole class in the back

They had Jean right where they wanted her, pinned down under the cheating scandal, humiliated and disgraced. And now

She was completely innocentand one of their own was the actual problem

Now they were the ones being humiliated, right in front of her

And a lot of them were downright pissed at Sunny. If he was going to pull this off, why didn’t he hide it better

Now that Jean had exposed him in front of everyone, they all felt the sting of it

Where’d you even get the test questions, Sunny? We hang out all the time, but I had no idea,someone quickly cut in, clearly trying to distance themselves. I swear, I had nothing to do with this.” 

You really kept this hidden. Would’ve never guessed.” 

Sunny.” 

The principal finally spoke. His voice was even and calm, but his eyes were razorsharp as they landed on the boy

Anything you’d like to explain?His tone was unreadable

Sunny’s face was still pale. His hands clenched into fists, body stiff with tension

But in the end, he didn’t say anything

He just silently shook his head

At this point, there was nothing left to say

If he kept denying it now, she’d just bring out more evidence and hit him with it in front of everyone

She already knew how he’d made the transactions on the Market app. There was no telling how much else 

she knew

Keeping up the lies would just make things worse

So he stopped

He gave up

He was done

Sunny didn’t need the money

His father was a powerful businessman with plenty of wealth. The only reason he even got into Stellarford Academy was because of his dad

But what nobody knew washe was actually an illegitimate child

Even though he lived a comfortable life, he was always walking on eggshells

He wanted so badly to prove himself. Deep down, he was terrified that one day his father would get sick of himtoss him aside, and he’d be powerless to stop it

So he knew he couldn’t get too comfortable

He had to build real skills. Be useful

Eventually, he started studying computers and hacking techniques on his own. He trained every day, and he was goodso good, he could even go toetotoe with some wellknown hackers

But he didn’t tell anyone

It was his secret

Little by little, he started using those skills to do things that weren’t exactly ethical- 

Like this time

He’d cracked into a teacher’s computer and stolen the test answers like it was nothing

At first, cheating had never even crossed his mind

He didn’t care about the exam results

Maybe it was just on a whim. Maybe it was to test his skills

Either way, it happened fast. He acted before he thought

Once he had the questions, he looked them overand honestly, they were boring

Too easy. Too predictable

What was the point of hoarding them for himself

Where was the fun in that

So he decided to spread them around, Quietly. Anonymously

Summary & Review: The Family

Jean Ginger was dead. A self-made woman who achieved financial freedom before thirty, her life was cut short in a tragic car accident. But instead of fading away, Jean woke up in an unfamiliar, overly frilly bedroom surrounded by stuffed toys. Her head throbbed as strange memories began flooding her mind — memories that weren’t hers. Within moments, Jean realized the unbelievable truth: she had transmigrated into the world of a book she once mockingly read online, The Real Heiress Awakens.

The story she remembered was an outrageously dramatic one about a poor girl named Sarah who discovered she was actually the real daughter of a wealthy family, the Gingers of Blairford. In her first life, Sarah had suffered greatly — betrayed, humiliated, and married to the wrong man. But after being reborn, she vowed to take back everything that had been stolen from her. She returned to the Gingers, exposed the impostor who had been living her life, and won over her powerful birth family and their love. Not only that, she even stole back her impostor’s fiancé — the male lead of the story.

It was a total wish-fulfillment fantasy: revenge, romance, and the triumphant rise of the “real” heiress. But for Jean, it was a nightmare — because she had been reborn as the fake heiress who loses everything by the end of the novel. Even worse, this character’s name was also Jean Ginger.

Still dazed, Jean checked herself in the mirror and nearly screamed. She wasn’t just the doomed heiress — she was thirteen years old. Her tall, elegant body was gone, replaced with short, chubby limbs and a round, childish face. On the bright side, she was years away from the events that would destroy her life. The real heiress hadn’t shown up yet.

Just as she was processing her situation, her phone pinged. It was a bank notification — $70,000 had just been deposited into her account. Jean blinked, counting the zeros again and again to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. Seventy thousand dollars. For a monthly allowance.

Her pain, confusion, and panic melted away in an instant. In her past life, she had worked herself to exhaustion for every dollar. Now she was rich — effortlessly. She didn’t have to hustle, fight, or struggle. The only thing she had to do was exist.

“Fake heiress?” she thought with a shrug. “Fine. I’ll take it.”

Jean quickly decided she wasn’t going to challenge the real heroine or get involved in any melodramatic family battles. She knew how the story would end — the Ginger family would fall into chaos, her brothers would lose their minds, and Sarah would rise as the hero who brought them down. There was no point trying to change fate. Instead, Jean made up her mind: she would relax, play the role of a harmless background character, and enjoy her wealthy lifestyle until the plot killed off the Gingers. By that time, she’d be long gone — comfortably rich, maybe even checked into a luxury psychiatric ward if that’s what it took to survive.

But peace never lasts.

Outside her room, she heard a maid calling her name, saying that dinner was ready but she hadn’t responded. Then another voice answered — calm, deep, and commanding. It belonged to Dominic Ginger, the eldest brother of the Ginger family. The moment he entered, Jean instinctively grabbed a plush bunny and held it to her chest like a shield.

Dominic was everything his reputation promised — tall, cold, and intimidating, with sharp features that could have been carved from marble. He was dressed in a sleek, tailored suit that looked more appropriate for a business meeting than a family dinner.

Jean’s eyes darted up at him. Even though she was technically his little sister now, he looked like a completely different species. She knew from the novel that Dominic was the strict, emotionless type — a perfectionist who treated family like subordinates. He was one of the five Ginger brothers who would later become antagonists in the story, each powerful and broken in their own way.

Still, Jean decided to play innocent. She widened her eyes, her pigtails bouncing, her cheeks pink, and clutched her bunny tighter. She looked like a lost doll — the perfect image of a fragile, harmless child.

Dominic’s icy voice broke the silence. “Dinner. Now.”

Jean blinked. He talks? she thought, startled. In the original story, Dominic barely spoke unless necessary. Her inner monologue continued, mocking his stiffness — but before she could stop herself, something strange happened.

Dominic’s gaze sharpened, and he responded quietly, as if answering an invisible question. “I just got back from work.”

Jean froze. She hadn’t said anything out loud. That meant — he could hear her thoughts.

Panic hit her like a truck. She quickly forced a nervous laugh and said aloud, “Oh, okay…” trying to cover her shock. But inside, her mind was spinning. What kind of weird twist was this? Was Dominic telepathic now? This wasn’t in the book!

Dominic, meanwhile, looked just as confused. His jaw tightened as he studied the small girl in front of him. He was sure he’d heard her voice in his head — clear, childish, and slightly sarcastic — but her lips hadn’t moved. It made no sense.

The tension between them filled the air. Jean tried to smile sweetly, pretending to be the clueless little sister, while her inner voice screamed at herself to stay calm. She couldn’t afford to let her thoughts run wild if her cold, powerful brother could actually hear them.

Still, beneath the fear, another thought flickered in her mind — maybe this was her chance. If Dominic could hear her thoughts, maybe she could use it to her advantage. After all, she knew the future of every character in this story. And she wasn’t going to end up in a psych ward this time.

Not if she played her cards right.

For now, though, Jean did what any smart person would do when facing a dangerously perceptive older brother who might read minds: she smiled, hugged her bunny tighter, and quietly followed him to dinner — already scheming about how to survive in this ridiculous new world where fiction had become her reality.

Because if there was one thing Jean Ginger was good at, it was surviving — and making money while doing it.
