And Julia, my sister, got two replicants from our father, a scientist. I took the one with the least ability.
Julia openly made fun of me, saying, "It's just a pile of junk. Only you, who likes collecting junk, would like it."
I secretly made fun of her for being a great fool.
In my past life, I chose the replicant I served with all my heart.
In this life, I chose to let go of him.
"I will let my sister enjoy the joy of being servile."
--
My father, a scientist, was about to die. Before his death, he let Julia and me choose among the only two replicants in the world.
Before Julia Horne could cry, I cried loudly and had the right to choose first.
"Dad, you understand me. You know I like to read CEO novels, so you made a CEO replicant for me!"
The two replicants were both handsome, but each had its strengths and weaknesses.
"If the replicant is too perfect, it is not a replicant but a robot."
For the sake of fairness, our scientist father did not explicitly make the advantages and disadvantages of the two replicants known to us.
Julia was immediately attracted to the yet-to-be-activated replicant 01, Kendall Powell.
Kendall was gentle. With shallow double eyelids and a slight upward curve at the corners of his eyes, he looked attractive and affectionate, easily winning others over.
He was a gentle and clingy young man, and no woman could refuse his requests.
Our scientist father activated Kendall's system, input Julia's face into it, and bound Julia to the system.
I was linked to the replicant 02, Zack Bradford, in the system.
Zack looked like a domineering CEO. With distinct facial features, he was like a perfect piece of carved artwork. As he stared at others with a pair of affectionate eyes, he seemed to be saying, "Girls, you can't run away."
There was a sense of destiny of forcibly seizing and dominating whenever he looked at others.
Julia took advantage of the situation and acted cute, saying, "You are my younger sister. I won't compete with you. Don't regret it in the future."
I patted the strong and hard chest muscles of the activated Zack.
"Thank you, Julia. I will take good care of my bionic Zack. After all, he is my father's lifelong effort."
Our father, a scientist, died that night.
Julia was not sad at all. Hiding in her room, she hugged and kissed the bionic man.
"Now I am the girlfriend of the popular top male star, and you will only love me."
I stood outside the door and sneered.
I doubted if she could handle Kendall, a dominant and troublesome bionic person.
2My name was Julie Horne. When I was ten years old, my mother died while doing a scientific experiment.
Our scientist father brought back a girl who was one year older than me, Julia.
In my previous life, my father let me choose among the two bionic persons first. I chose the bionic person Kendall.
His skill was singing and dancing. The system positioned him as a male idol in a boy band, which was commonly known as a male star to make women happy. Making money was his merit.
Considering Kendall's overall situation, I made his debut in a boy band. Sure enough, he relied on me, an agent with outstanding abilities, making a lot of money.
He, a top star who was adored by thousands of people outside, was wholeheartedly devoted to me at home.
All of this was because of our binding relationship in the System.
Because of this, I lived in a big villa and drove a luxury car. Kendall's fans acknowledged me as Kendall's girlfriend, showering me with great glory.
On the other hand, Julia's bionic skill was being a househusband. The system positioned him as a good man who cared about his family. He could cook and take care of children.
His disadvantage was that he was lousy at making money.
Julia had large expenses and owed a lot of debts. On top of that, she had to support a bionic person. Over time, Julia started to vent her anger and abuse Zack.
Bionic person 02, Zack, was destroyed. He turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Later, Julia found me, saying she wanted to take me for hiking.
"Julie, what are you so proud of? You dare to show off in front of me. Let's die together."
After saying that, she pushed me off the cliff.
She jumped down too. After all, she couldn't repay the huge debt.
3After our scientist father died, Julia began to divide the family properties.
She didn't forget to complain.
"Old man. You died with only this little money. Who are you trying to send off? If I had known, I wouldn't have bought a coffin for you. I would have wrapped you with a straw mat and thrown you down."
"Julie, your mother who died early must have left you something valuable. I am the adopted daughter of the Horne family. I have the right and qualifications to get half of the property!"
The house was turned upside down, but Julia didn't find anything.
In the end, she reluctantly took over ten thousand dollars deposited in our scientist father's bank card.
The remote experimental house and the cheap two-bedroom apartment in the old community were left for me.
I glanced at Kendall, who appeared to be a clingy little young man as planned. After the system was fully activated, he showed his true personality.
There appeared his bug, that was, he was difficult to deal with.
In his eyes, he was a man with dramatic contrast, which surprised them and infatuated them so much. He was the perfect chosen one to be a male idol.
This replicant was almost the same as a real person, but our scientist father sighed that his replicant was not successful enough before dying.
Before leaving, Julia looked at the replicant good at making money in front of her with great satisfaction.
"Julie, don't blame me for being heartless. We are not biological sisters. If you don't live a good life in the future, don't come and disturb my life."
"You are not biological sisters, so why are you competing with her for the inheritance?"
The activated Zack stared at Julia's face, seemingly conducting facial analysis. Then, he spoke up to defend me.
"You are sinister and hypocritical, and you take advantage of others."
"You are heartless and ungrateful, and you are disloyal."
"The one that climbs high will fall hard, I wonder when you will fall!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but admire the bionic person Zack in front of me. Surprisingly, he saw through Julia's hypocrisy.
"It's the first time in my life that someone has defended and sided with me so firmly."
My father adopted Julia, who was an orphan. Unexpectedly, she didn't have a trace of gratitude in her heart after so many years.
Kendall, who was beside Julia, elegantly put his hands in his pockets. He seemed a little impatient, and he didn't show any pity or defense for Julia.
There was a fleeting sense of desolation on Julia's face.
At the thought of the golden future, she let go of it.
She held Kendall's hand and left.
I sneered in my heart thinking, "May you take good care of this damn demanding man."
4It was my first day of living together with Zack.
He shocked me so much.
He got up at 6 a.m. to prepare breakfast with two different kinds of flavors.
Everything was handmade. He did so to make sure I ate things healthy and safe.
I thought he, a bionic person, couldn't touch water, but he took a shower every day and paid great attention to personal hygiene.
He even cooked various foods that were beneficial for my menstrual period when I had my period.
I was amazed by his series of actions.
Soon, we encountered a difficult problem in life.
Zack looked at me attentively and said, "We don't have money to buy groceries. When are you going to go out and work to earn money?"
I sighed.
In the past few days, he bought expensive ones to make sure I eat and drink well. We had spent almost all the money at home.
I looked at the few remaining balances.
"Don't worry. There will be money!"
5I planned to create a self-media Instagram account and become a food blogger.
However, the food blogger was not me but Zack.
He only had to shoot the process of cooking every day and edit it, and I would act as a diner.
The name of my self-media Instagram account was called #My Girlfriend's Three Meals a Day#.
Sure enough, we had 100,000 fans in the first month of creating the self-media account.
Comments in the comment section were as below.
[Your boyfriend seems different from my boyfriend!]
[Your boyfriend is so good at cooking. If he is more handsome, I will envy you.]
[Men who can cook are not on the dating market nowadays.]
[The man in my house just lies on the sofa and asks me if the meal is ready!]
With a monthly income of over ten thousand dollars, we could support ourselves.
After analyzing the videos of food bloggers on various platforms, I stretched and prepared to brush my teeth.
Zack came out of the bathroom, with a white towel wrapped around his lower body. Water droplets were hanging on his muscular upper body. He lowered his head and rubbed his wet hair with the towel. When he casually raised his eyes, he looked at me seductively and charmingly.
The steam in the bathroom had not completely evaporated. I seemed to see a perfect David art sculpture.
My face turned red.
"Why don't you wear clothes after taking a shower?"
Zack looked at me innocently, with my lingerie and underwear hanging on his other hand.
With one red and the other one white, they were not a set.
"I'll put on clothes after I finish washing this for you."
He was a muscular man with a dominant look.
And he was helping me wash my underwear!
I was about to say no.
Zack approached and encircled me in his arms. He said in a charming yet dangerous tone, "Julie, you have suffered enough by working outside to support the family. Washing clothes and cooking are my responsibilities. Don't make me feel useless!"
6Zack's cooking skills were perfect.
I only needed to casually mention the name of a dish or even a type of food. Then he could cook wonderful food.
The number of likes on our short videos was increasing.
Advertisers started approaching us.
By sharing kitchen favorites alone, we could easily earn tens of thousands of dollars in advertising fees.
I sat in the living room, waiting for food, while Zack was busy in the kitchen. His broad shoulders rendered the simple white T-shirt good. His tense arm lines were full of hormones as he was flipping the pan.
He was wearing gray casual home pants. His raised buttocks were faintly visible when he walked.
With his amazing body proportions, he could make himself look like a supermodel walking in a fashion show with a few casual clothes.
He was such a good man at home.
As we were living a comfortable life, an unexpected guest arrived.
"Julie, how have you been recently?"
I was a bit indifferent.
"As you can see, I'm doing well."
Zack sat next to me, serving food with his apron on.
Julia's gaze revealed a hint of envy and displeasure.
"Julie, we are sisters who grew up together since childhood. We promised to support each other in difficult times. Do you remember it?"
I sneered, saying, "What do you mean?"
Julia stopped pretending.
"You made money relying on Zack. Shouldn't you share half of it with me? After all, how could you have stumbled upon such a good cash cow like Zack if I hadn't chosen 01 Kendall back then?"
"Kendall wants to terminate the contract now. You have to pay the termination fee of 500 thousand dollars."
"She dared to say such words shamelessly."
"Speaking of a cash cow, it should be Kendall. Being a star, he easily earns tens of millions of dollars every month by filming, endorsing, and doing business.
But Kendall, who had a bad temper, was not easy to please. That was his flaw.
In addition, Julia had little understanding of marketing.
It was said that she took Kendall to participate in a talent show and signed with a company before.
The ones who debuted together with Kendall had acting opportunities and endorsements, while Kendall's career was stagnant. He was relying on a meager salary to live in a big city every month.
"Am I such a despicable person?"
"Why should I be rushing to give you money, begging you to spend it?"
Julia continued, saying, "Kendall is a clone produced by Dad. Seeing him living so poorly, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"What can a clone who doesn't eat or drink spend money on? Perhaps the only one who needs money is you. If you don't have 500 thousand dollars, I can give you 50 dollars to buy a few groceries. Do you want it?"
Julia had always been considering herself.
She had never considered others, even Kendall.
She was dreaming of becoming a famous agent.
After driving Julia away, I thought she should know better and not cause trouble again.
Unfortunately, I underestimated her.
7Over these days, I had been on a business trip, and Zack was staying at home.
As soon as I entered the community, several middle-aged women surrounded me. It seemed that they had been gossiping for a long time.
When they saw me, their eyes lit up.
"Finally, you're back!"
"Oh my god, your house is almost burned down. How come you just come back?"
I was shocked, asking, "What? My house is on fire!"
After saying that, I hurriedly ran towards home.
A middle-aged woman grabbed me again and winked at me.
"It's not about the fire. It's that your husband has been targeted by someone!"
"The whole community has seen a woman running into your house, asking your husband to open the door."
"If you come back three days later, your husband might be snatched away."
After saying that, an aged woman with gray hair but great strength hammered my chest and looked at me teasingly.
"I've lived for most of my life. It's the first time I've seen someone train their husband so well. Teach me how."
I said, "Grandma, isn't your husband dead?"
With a longing for life, she said, "Even if my husband is dead, I still have to live. I'll participate in an elderly matchmaking event next month."
Just then, Zack suddenly shouted from the window.
"Julie, I missed you so much. Why did you come back so late?"
After saying that, he ran down in the blink of an eye. Taking my suitcase with one hand, he held my waist with the other and went home.
Seeing this, the women around us all cheered. With his appearance and excellent skills, Zack was popular in the community.
Back home, Zack brought the freshly brewed soup to me before starting to complain to me with a grievance.
"Julie, your sister, Julia, said she wants to modify the system for me. She said you agreed."
"Nonsense. I haven't been in contact with her for ages."
"Damn it."
"Julia is getting more shameless with each passing day."
"In the past, she killed me. Now she wants to snatch my replicant."
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zack put on an apron and happily went to make pancakes for me.
While making pancakes, he muttered, "You should be at home. I knew you couldn't live without me. I take care of everything in this house."
I looked at Zack's broad and charming figure as he was flipping the pancakes high.
"Sigh. He is good in every way except for his nagging."
"They say the road is narrow for enemies, and it's true."
When Zack and I went out to buy ingredients, we happened to meet Julia and Kendall.
The vibe between the two of them seemed a bit off.
"Can't you be more successful? Those who debuted with you have become popular one after another. Do you know that I won't be able to afford the rent next month?"
"For you, I begged so many people to get this opportunity for a variety show. You act like a young master at home, but you can't even pretend in front of the camera and maintain your persona."
"Do you think this variety show is not high-class enough? If you want to go to a bigger platform, someone has to invite you."
Without any pity, Kendall said indifferently, "I think Mr. Wong quite likes you. Why don't you go find him?"
Julia was about to go crazy with anger.
"Speaking of the old pervert, can't you see that he wants to have sex with me? Do you have any conscience at all?"
"It's a case of what goes around comes around. Julia brought this upon herself."
"In her past life, she only saw Kendall's popularity skyrocketing and his endorsement fees soaring."
"But she had no idea about how many people I had begged and how much alcohol I had drunk to support him on the road to stardom. I had been taken advantage of by many aged men."
"Once, I almost got drunk and sent to the room of an aged man."
"Julia will not know the hardship I went through."
I asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Why are you arguing so loudly?"
Anyone could see that I came to throw a stone at Julia.
