For eighteen years, she wore a gown of gold thread. When it was stripped away in a single day, she learned she was a beggar wrapped in finery.
Su Yao spent eighteen years as the apple of the Su family's eye. Then her true identity was revealed, and the real daughter took her place. Su Yao became the impostor who had stolen someone else's home.
The warmth of a wealthy family turned to ashes in an instant. The parents who once laughed and smiled with her now showed only polite distance. Her beloved older brother, Su Ming, personally pushed her out through the glittering front gates, his manner more chilling than a blizzard.
Three years.
She fell from the clouds into the mud. Her delivery uniform became her armor, and her chilblains her medals. She tasted the warmth and coldness of human nature and learned to keep her back straight in the face of cruelty.
In the depths of winter, the Su family suddenly summoned her home.
"Grandma misses you," Su Ming said impatiently.
The road home was short, but the distance between hearts was vast. A mocking "What do you have to feel wronged about?" and a leather shoe kicked hard into her waist sent her crashing into the snow, her vision swimming. Her last illusions about "family affection" shattered completely.
The Su family's grand gates still stood, but she was no longer returning home. She was... a sacrifice?
The real daughter smiled like a flower. Her adoptive parents looked at her coldly, and her "good brother" acted as if she didn't exist.
As she walked alone toward that grim mansion, covered in mud, snow, and pain, a car that had followed her in silence the whole way pulled to a stop.
The window rolled down. The man studied her disheveled state, the corner of his lips lifting in an inscrutable smile.
"Miss Su, would you like a ride? To... get justice."
Those who abandon me will be abandoned in turn.
Those who humiliate me will pay a hundredfold!
