Here's the translation: "I'm on vacation and I'm planning to find a summer job. Aunt Kyla said that serving plates is too hard, so she introduced me to a job as a stunt double for a short play. I didn't think much and went straight there, but the location turned out to be a hotel. They said they were going to film a scene where the female lead gets choked to death. When I saw that the room was full of men, I got scared and wanted to run away. But they grabbed me by the neck and pinned me down on the bed: 'What are you pretending to be a virtuous woman for? I already gave Aunt Kyla 5,000 yuan for you. You think you can escape?! Dream on!' I struggled desperately, but in the end, they tore my clothes and made me wear strange outfits, and I suffocated to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Aunt Kyla introduced me to the job. Ha, such a good job is better left for your own daughter to do!"
Chapter 1

It was summer break, and I decided to find a summer job. Aunt Kyla said waiting tables was too exhausting and introduced me to a job as a stand-in for a short drama.
Without thinking much, I went straight to the location, which turned out to be a hotel. They said they needed to film a scene where the female lead gets strangled to death.
As soon as I saw the room full of men, I was terrified and tried to flee. But they grabbed me by the neck and pinned me down on the bed.
"Acting all innocent, huh? I already gave your aunt 5000 dollars. Trying to escape? Dream on!"
I struggled with all my might, but they tore my clothes and forced me into some strange outfit. I was suffocated to death.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Aunt Kyla introduced me to the job.
Ha, such a wonderful job should be for your own daughter!

"Oh wow, once school starts, you'll be a college student! Why bother waiting tables? Web series are so popular now. I know a crew that needs a stand-in actress for web series. They pay 500 a day! Mabel, you're so pretty. I'll arrange for you to join them directly!"
I suddenly took a deep breath, tightly hugging my arms as I glanced down at the clothes I was wearing. I was still in shock when I heard Aunt Kyla's words.
I stared in shock at the smiling woman in front of me, uncontrollably trembling. Quickly, I pulled out my phone from my pocket. Seeing the date, I realized I had been given a second chance at life!
In my previous life, as soon as the vacation started, I had planned to find a summer job to gain some social experience and save up some living expenses. Many of my classmates took summer jobs at coffee shops and restaurants. I had intended to do the same. But within a few days, Aunt Kyla found out and came to my house, insisting that I take a part-time job in a web series instead. It paid 500 a day and didn't require working outside.
I was hesitant at first, but my dad immediately slapped me:
"Don't be so ungrateful. Your aunt is very busy but still takes the time to help you. You should agree right away!"
"Your aunt has made a lot of money from web series over the years. You're lucky that she's willing to help you."
"What's the point of going to that useless college? All you do is waste the family's money. Can you make as much money as those social media influencers?"
"Your aunt went through a lot of trouble to find this opportunity for you. If you don't appreciate it, you'll regret it!"
Seeing this, Aunt Kyla raised her hand to stop my father, frowning:
"Mabel is so beautiful. Don't always hit her. Bruises will ruin her looks."
Then she gently patted my head:
"Why work as a waiter? That's all physical labor. Mabel, you're about to start college. College students should use their smarts to make money. You can continue this web series job even after school starts."
Back then, I didn't realize her true intentions. I remembered how my cousin always talked about wanting to make money.
So, I weakly said, "Aunt Kyla, can I go with my cousin?"
Aunt Kyla's face immediately darkened,
"Your cousin is a troublemaker. Forget it! Her SAT scores were so low that she couldn't get into a good college. I still have to find a way for her! Don't tell her about this, or she'll become even more rebellious!"
My dad, growing impatient with the conversation, said:
"It's settled then. Go and perform well, understand? You're old enough to start helping out the family! 500 a day, 300 goes to the family." With that, he gulped down a glass of wine and went back to his room.
I gritted my teeth and put up with it. Once school started, I would live on campus and find part-time jobs. I just had to survive this summer.
But I didn't make it through that scorching summer.
