Rebirth: A Life for a Life

From the back cover

In her first life, a wealthy wife watches her own self-care backfire: every cream, every jog, every treatment leaves her older and heavier while her new housekeeper, Mirabelle Cruz, grows younger and lovelier. Her husband, Marcus, turns away in disgust, and when she fires the housekeeper she collapses into early menopause, diabetes and a fatal stroke.

Now she has woken on the very day Mirabelle first reports to work. She refuses the royal jelly, watches Mirabelle eat it, and tests her suspicion with a dab of moisturizer — dark spots bloom on her own skin. As Mirabelle livestreams a thirty-day reverse-aging challenge and her followers multiply, the wife realizes her years are being drained away.

With Marcus bringing other women home and the family skincare empire's shares sliding, she has one desperate question: if she stops caring for herself and lets herself wither, can she break the exchange?
