Chapter 1

After graduation, my niece's diary, titled "The Agony of Living Under Someone Else's Roof," went viral.

She moved in with us right before her senior year.

To make her feel comfortable, I'd occasionally ask her to help with some light chores.

When graduation came, both she and my daughter got into Harvard University.

News stations were clamoring to report on our story, asking how I managed to raise two straight-A students.

Just as I was cheerfully sharing my parenting tips,

my niece pulled out a diary.

Its content: The Agony of Living Under Someone Else's Roof.

My niece became an internet sensation, while I was cyberbullied and doxxed by furious netizens.

“Auntie, my parents sent you money for my expenses every month. So why did I have to live like a mouse in your house, tiptoeing around? You deserve everything that’s coming to you.”

Ultimately, thanks to my niece's "accidental" location reveal, "righteous" netizens pushed me into a river, and I drowned.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the moment my husband’s brother dropped his daughter off at our house.

Heh, the pain of being a dependent, huh?

This time, you’ll get to experience what *real* dependency feels like.
