I take what I want when I wanna and there's nothing you can do about it!

BEEP...BEEP...BEEEEEEEEP
Chen Ruoxi felt her head spinning, she blinked once, twice and the third time her vision blurred. The discomfort in her chest spread and her breath grew more laborious with time. Cold sweats trailed down her face and she barely had any strength left to open her eyes.
Is this really how it's going to end? Everything I've worked hard for, all my effort, perseverance and sweat to accomplish my dreams in the HR department, all went down the drain because of this cancer.
"She's not responding, let's go again."
The health personnel set up the automated external defibrillator and
She couldn't clutch at her chest, she was too weak to even move muscle. The pain shot through her upper abdomen and moved upward resembling a dull throbbing from heartburn. Nausea crept up her skin and she closed her eyes for the last time.
BEEP...BEEP...BEEEEEEEEEEP
Her diaphragm expanded and relaxed as the last breath escaped from her lungs. She wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth, everything she owned she worked hard to get. She wasn't a leech in her relationship, she was an independent modern woman with big dreams and a big heart; maybe it was because good people aren't so lucky.
Just because you're good to others doesn't mean they'll be good to you.
What if she'd discovered the cancer earlier? She'd have gotten her medication, chemotherapy treatment and all the other procedures carried out but she found out when it was too late.
Alone in the hospital she watched the last of her thick black locks of hair fall off, she watched her skin shrivelling and the life drains from her face in the past year. Jian Yu never once came to visit her, he broke up with her over a text message and informed her that he was currently in a relationship with her sister since she was going to die anyway.
As for Mrs. Chen; her mother, she couldn't really blame her. They had struggled to get by, she was the sole breadwinner of the family despite her sister, Hùi Fen, being the firstborn.
The pale ceiling seemed further and further away till blackness swallowed the light and she fell into eternal slumber.

"Bing Bing!"
The first voice her eardrum was able to register was that of her eldest sister Zhao Mei Lian, the tears from the flawless beauty's face kept smearing hers in slow drops.
Her eyes fluttered open and the pupils contracted as they drank in the light from the highly illuminated bedroom.
"Bing'er I ...Bing Bing? You're alive!"
Mei lian threw her arms around her before she could process everything that was happening.
"But the doctor said that...No, I'm just glad you're back."
Mei lian sniveled in Bing bing's embrace for a few more minutes before pulling away.
"I'm going to go get Yu Xuan, just lie back down and rest, okay?"
She patted Bing bing's head and smiled before straightening herself and bolting out the door at top speed.
Bing bing pulled the duvet over her and wore her slippers. Everything looked so unfamiliar to her, she trotted slowly to the body-length mirror and gasped.
She was in the body of the famous Zhao Bing bing preparing to debut in the entertainment industry.
"Wow! Am I dreaming? If I am, I don't think I want to wake up anytime soon, the underworld can wait for a bit."
She checked out her awesome shape, her glutes, long legs, dull and large eyes, and...
"I see you like the body I picked out for you."
Bing bing swirled around to search for where the unfamiliar voice was coming from.
"W-What are you?"
