Chapter 1
My best friend, Hazel Prescott, whom I had cared for over the years, gave me a bottle of perfume.
Without hesitation, I turned and poured it all into the toilet.

In my past life, the moment I wore that perfume, my body began to sprout fur and emit a terrible stench.
Colleagues avoided me like the plague. My boss and boyfriend, Wyatt Dawson, dumped me without a second thought and got together with Hazel.
Desperate for a cure, I searched everywhere, only to die in agony and despair.
It was only after my death that I learned the truth. Hazel had tampered with the perfume.
Now, as I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day she gave
it to me.
“Charlotte, I saved up half a month’s salary to buy this perfume for you. It’s just a small gift.
“Don’t look down on it. I promise I’ll get you something even better once I have more money.”
Hazel crinkled into a smile as she handed me the beautifully

wrapped gift.

I staggered back in shock, glancing around at my familiar office surroundings, realizing. I had been reborn.
Ignoring the puzzled stares from my coworkers, I rushed to the bathroom and stripped off my clothes. Staring at my reflection, I let out a shaky breath of relief. My skin was smooth and flawless.
In my past life, the moment I sprayed that perfume, my entire body became covered in thick fur, carrying a faint, nauseating stench that drove everyone away.
Hazel came from a poor background. When she first joined the company, she nearly got fired due to her lack of experience. Out of kindness, I helped her.
After that, I continued to treat her sincerely, sharing fun moments and bringing her food whenever I got something nice.
She seemed grateful, so when she gifted me the perfume, I simply thought it was a token of appreciation.
A colleague jokingly wondered if it was some kind of unregulated product since she couldn’t even name the brand.
I didn’t take it seriously and just thought they were messing around. But not long after, something started changing in my body.
At first, it was just redness and itchiness. Then, patches of fur started growing all over me.

I tried hair removal creams, but the next day, the fur grew back even thicker.
I went to top hospitals. I tried every remedy, both medical and folk. Nothing worked.
After that, I took leave and hid in the employee dorm, too afraid to step out. Hazel, pretending to check on me, brought the entire department along. The moment they saw me looking like a caveman, they gasped as if they’d seen a ghost.
A gossip–loving coworker uploaded a video of me online, calling me the Hairy Beauty.
The internet went wild. Influencers camped outside my apartment, demanding I go live. Meanwhile, Wyatt seized the opportunity to break up with me.
Hazel, on the other hand, became even more stunning. On one of her so–called visits, her breathtaking looks caught the attention of bloggers.
Seizing the moment, she engaged with netizens, quickly skyrocketing to fame. Within half a month, she had amassed over a million followers.
And me? Unable to accept my ruined face and body, I slit my wrists in the bathroom.
Only after death did I finally learn the truth.

Hazel had envied my success and beauty.
The perfume she gifted me wasn’t just a present. It was a cursed
object meant to steal my fate.
