The One He Loved Was My Mother

I thought my love story was real, but it had been an elaborate scam from the very beginning.

My best friend coveted my boyfriend, yet claimed she was in love with his older brother.

The older brother searched for a stand-in for his unattainable first love, never realizing that she loved me.

When leukemia made a relative's bone marrow necessary, an even more horrifying truth came to light:

My boyfriend and I were half-siblings, sharing the same father!

I chose to jump into a river to end it all, only to be sold by a “kind stranger” into the hell of northern Myanmar.

In that abyss, the one who rescued me was none other than the older brother's mysterious first love.

She planned every move and crushed the conspiracy with her intelligence, pulling me out of the depths of despair.

She laid her heart bare and confessed that she'd secretly loved me for years. It turned out I was the only light in her life.

Just as I finally let down my guard and prepared to embrace this sincere love,

she chuckled and told me:

“Do you know the biggest joke in the world?”

“The man who once planned to marry you gave everything to love someone who turned out to be your mother.”
