Chapter 4

Mia is my sister.

To be precise, she's the real daughter, and I'm the fake one.

When I was twelve, Mrs. Zhou picked me up on a stormy day.

Everyone thought it was a coincidence.

But it wasn't.

To ensure Mrs. Zhou would find me looking pitiful and helpless on that rainy day,

I deliberately broke my own leg.

I wanted wealth and glory, to be above everyone else, to never taste that bone-deep humiliation again.

Mia was found by the Zhou family when she was sixteen.

She was always kind, innocent, and pure.

The things I had to break my bones to get, she got without doing anything.

I hated her.

I wondered why she didn't have to fall into the mud and taste pain.
