Ai was sitting alone in her room

'I cannot panic right now I know the story and what will happen next. If I am careful enough then I can plan my escape from this place.'

'If I was going to reborn it could have been as a baby in any other world where I would have no memories of my past life but I was reborn as Midori Ai a secondary character in a novel who also had a miserable life. This only means that I am here so that I can change the miseries of both of us no now I am Midori Ai and live a life the way I want. There is no way I would let this second chance in life slide.'

'Ai was just like a puppet who only did what her uncle and aunt told her she never did anything on her own or without their orders. And I was a person who could not anything on her own even if I wanted it is kind of a similar situation not being able to do what you want.'

'Ai was a kind and pure hearted person but her uncle and aunt are vicious people. Her father and his younger brother her uncle both were doctors. One day few people came with a proposal to her father and uncle to make some special type of medicine which will enhance the physical abilities and will shorten the recovery time from injuries. They even told her father to test those medicines on his patients and see the results and he will be rewarded heavily but her father never accepted this proposal and said he will never do something like that.'

'But his brother had other plans. Blinded by money and with the desire to leave his older brother's shadow he again secretly met with those people and accepted the offer. When Ai's father found about it he stopped him and even warned him that if he tries something like this again he will not hesitate to report him to police.'

'This made her uncle very angry and he plotted and to kill her father and his family by burning their house. Somehow Ai survived that incident and to not look bad in people's eyes he adopted her. Of course he never wanted her and always treated her harshly. He always wanted to get rid of her but after finding out that his wife is unable to have children he decided against it thinking she will be useful for doing housework. Her aunt always supported her uncle whether it was killing his brother's family or treating Ai like a maid. In short these two people are criminals who have committed heinous crimes and should never be forgiven. '

'Ai on the other hand was a smart and kind person from the beginning. Just like her father she was also interested in medicine and studied it from her father's old books. She studied about different types of herbs and how to make medicine and also practiced it on small animals when they get injured and treated their wounds. She also learned it from an old man who lived in the neighborhood who also happened to be the person who taught her father and her uncle and a retired doctor. Not only that, but she was so good she started attending patients in her uncle's absence when she was just a teenager. '

'But this did not change the fact that she did not receive love and affection as a child or was always told to do the housework. But she never complained or asked for anything was always obedient and treated everyone kindly. One day when her uncle was outside a patient came and told that he came here a few days ago and when he had a fever her uncle gave him the medicine for that and he became fine just after taking it once. He even felt more energetic and powerful than he had ever felt but now he is not feeling well again and he does not have the strength to even walk properly. Ai checked the medicine which was given to the man and found out it was made by her uncle and the ingredients used provide a lot of strength to the user for a short period of time but it also has major side effects. '

'When she asked her uncle about it he beat her mercilessly and told her to keep her mouth shut and if she tells anyone about this it will only get worse. Ai stayed silent for a while but one day she saw her uncle meeting with some unknown people and they were talking about a medicine which increases strength dramatically and her uncle was taking money from them. She again tried to stop him but this time her uncle locked her in a room and abused and tortured her for almost a month which made her a silent girl she is now. '

'One day the second prince of kingdom saw Ai picking herbs near the forest and decided he wants to marry her. That old man who is nearly the same age her uncle wants to marry Ai and will later kill her after playing with her. They knew he was an old man they knew that he was cruel and treated others like his toys they knew his past deeds yet they sold her to him just because he offered money, gifts and they thought that they can get close to the royal family by this. '

"How cruel..." Ai muttered to herself thinking about all of these.

'Now I have decided what I have to do. I must stop this abuse which she silently endured all her life. I will be kind like she was, explore the world and live the dreams which I saw. Thank you God for giving me this second chance. This is my aim in this life and I will complete it. '
