Chapter 1

The moment my skin started tearing and bleeding relentlessly, that's when my dad discovered Mom carried the Butterfly Disease gene.

My dad, who treated my illness like a plague, stormed off with my healthy sister, leaving me behind.

At least Mom was incredibly sympathetic towards me. She carefully padded every sharp edge in the house, staying by my side every single second.

But a week later, she couldn't overcome her hemophobia. She vanished, abandoning me just as I was starting to hope again.

I knew how troublesome it was to care for someone with Butterfly Disease, so I didn't resent my parents for leaving.

At least they, with their modest income, left me our only house, so I still had a roof over my head.

I secretly prayed my sister would stay healthy, hoping our already tough financial situation wouldn't get any worse.

To survive, unable to leave the house, I made money by live-streaming my art.

But two years later, during an unexpected joint stream with the billionaire’s daughter, who also had Butterfly Disease, I saw my own sister on the screen.

She didn't recognize me, my face covered in bandages, and simply chatted with me as a stranger, a fellow patient.

The live chat was filled with comments, marveling at the stark contrast between my sister’s pristine complexion and my own ravaged face.

【Ugh, regular people can't afford Butterfly Disease. Just look at the difference between this girl and the billionaire’s daughter.】

【This girl has always lived alone, no wonder her condition is so much worse than the billionaire’s daughter, who's been meticulously cared for by her parents.】

【Her parents are billionaires, and even with their daughter having Butterfly Disease, they stuck by her, taking care of her like she’s completely normal. I wish I had parents like that – truly perfect, devoted parents!】

That was the moment I realized: I wasn't abandoned because of the Butterfly Disease. I was abandoned because I was simply unloved.
