I was born into a dysfunctional family, where my parents considered me a burden and only favored my younger brother.

　　Anything my brother liked, I had to let him have it, to fulfill his desires.

　　If I disagreed, my mom would scold me, saying, 'You are the older sister, your brother is still young and doesn't know any better, give in to him, it won't cost you a thing.' My father would directly use violence, slapping me until I begged for mercy.

　　I yearned to be loved, and I tried my best to be an obedient child.

　　But no matter what I did, my parents still looked down on me.

　　I didn't understand, so I questioned my parents, 'Am I not your biological child?' In a fit of rage, my mom threw me out of the house, locking me outside the door for an entire night.

　　Later, my brother drowned while playing in the water.

　　Overwhelmed by grief, I became their outlet for venting their frustration.

　　If it meant trading my life for my brother's, they would undoubtedly abandon me without hesitation.

　　I often hid alone in a dark corner, pulling my hair, unable to control my crying.

　　Because of my introverted personality, I had no friends at school.

　　As someone without any support, it was natural for me to become a target for bullying.

　　Everyone in school knew that my parents despised me and wouldn't care if anything happened to me.

　　So they bullied me without any restraint.

　　They locked me in the storage room, using me as a target, taking turns smashing my head.

　　The more I resisted, the happier they became, and they would torment me even more.

　　Once, I was repeatedly thrown into the swimming pool, experiencing the pain of drowning over and over again.

　　I thought I would really be tortured to death.

　　Until Jiang Yu appeared, pulling me out of the water and saving me.

　　'Su Su, I'm sorry I'm late.' I coughed uncontrollably, almost spitting out stomach acid.

　　Jiang Yu held me tightly, his heartbeat pounding in my ears.

　　He went crazy, fiercely kicking everyone who had bullied me into the pool, one by one.

　　The ruthless look in his eyes scared even the school bullies into silence.

　　That near-death, rebirth feeling, along with the dazzling arrogance of this person named 'Jiang Yu,' seeped into my bones.

　　It was also from that day that he said he would protect me forever.

　　Later, he blushed and confessed to me.

　　He said he had secretly loved me for two years, he said he wanted to be my boyfriend, he said he wanted to marry me.

　　Ignoring his family's objections, he took me and ran away.

　　The feeling of being protected was truly reassuring, and the taste of being loved was truly sweet.

　　I gradually recovered, no longer needing to take strange medicines.

　　At that time, he truly loved me and couldn't bear to see me hurt even a little bit.

　　Eighteen-year-old Jiang Yu could never have imagined that the girl he had protected with all his heart would later be hurt by him.
