Chapter 1

At the birthday party, the adopted daughter suddenly starts frantically slashing her own face with the cake knife while cutting the cake. With a face covered in blood, she kneels and kowtows to me.

"Sister, look, I've become an ugly monster now. Please don't make me sleep with those men anymore...

I'll listen to you and leave this family. I won't dare compete for Mom, Dad, and Brother's love anymore!"

Hearing this, Mom, Dad, and Brother become furious. They publicly announce their decision to discipline me, the true heiress, severely and send me to a correctional facility.

I endure brutal beatings with clubs and electric shocks, am forced to drink urine and eat rotten food, and even suffer "correction" from over a dozen instructors taking turns.

A year later, my family finally remembers me.

But I fall to my knees in terror, skillfully crawling on the ground and barking like a dog.

"The little dog knows she was wrong. Please, masters, punish the little dog gently..."

As I walk out of the correctional facility on trembling legs, my brother leans against a black car, looking me over.

By now, I've been thoroughly cleaned up and changed back into the dress I wore when I arrived.

There's no trace of the abuse I endured over the past year.

When they learned the family would take me back, they force-fed me various weight gain supplements.

They even brought in special effects makeup artists to meticulously cover up all my scars.Seeing that I still refused to call him "brother" and maintained that aloof, indifferent attitude,

Brother furrowed his brow and grabbed my arm.

"What's the deal? You knew I was coming to pick you up, so you deliberately dawdled inside to make me wait two hours?"

"Seraphina, you're still so arrogant? Do you need more time in the training facility?"

Looking at his anger-filled face and hearing the threat in his words,

My pupils suddenly constricted, and I instinctively yanked my arm back, my face turning pale.

With a thud, I fell to my knees at Brother's feet.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

I began desperately kowtowing, trembling as I started to beg for mercy.

"I'm sorry, Master. This little dog has displeased Master..."

"Master's shoes are dirty again. This little dog will lick them clean right away..."

I crawled on my knees to his shoes, numbly sticking out my tongue to lick them.

Brother suddenly pulled his foot away, taking a step back, and stared at me with disgust.

"Seraphina, what the hell is wrong with you?"

His gaze was like that of a cold, venomous snake, startling me into trembling all over.

I recalled the dark experiences of being locked up in the training facility.

At times like this, it meant they were going to punish this "naughty" dog.

I reflexively started to lift my skirt.

And even began imitating a dog's bark.

"Woof, woof...""Master, please don't be angry. Your little puppy will be very good and obedient..."

"Little puppy knows she's done wrong, please punish her gently..."

Big brother's face was filled with shock as he crouched down and grabbed my hand.

He violently yanked me up from the ground, his face as dark as ink, gritting his teeth:

"Song! Zhen! Zhen!"

"Are you still not compliant even now? Is that why you're being so passive-aggressive, trying to put on an act to provoke me?"

My whole body trembled, tears of terror bursting from my eyes.

Once I angered someone, what awaited me would be hellish torment.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please... please don't hit me, I'll be very good and obedient..."

"I admit my mistake! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have hurt anyone, I really know I was wrong!"

"Slap!"

Big brother raised his hand and struck me across the face.

"Enough! Shut up!"

This was the first time he had hit me in three years.

If it were before, I definitely would have slapped him back.

He had no right to lay a finger on me.

But now, I just dazedly pulled my hand back, then frantically began slapping myself on both cheeks.

As I slapped, I bit down hard on my lip, biting until it bled, not daring to make a sound.When I first got thrown into that hellhole of a reform school, I fought back against the bastards trying to abuse me. Big mistake. They tased me to the ground and beat me with batons and whips for three days and nights straight.

When I was starving, all I got was rotten slop. When I was thirsty, they made me drink their piss.

One time I got lucky - the drunk "trainer" who came to use me for stress relief passed out cold. I managed to snag his phone while he was out.
