She Turned Our Family Into NPCs
Suzy was the only normal person in our family.
While our father drank himself into oblivion, our mother gambled away everything, and I descended into mental illness, she sacrificed everything to pay our debts and keep us alive. She even found the best doctors to treat me. We all carried a lifetime of guilt for dragging her down.
Then she became engaged to the heir of the most powerful family in the country.
Only after I died in a psychiatric hospital did I uncover the horrifying truth.
Suzy had been chosen by a system.
My father's alcoholism, my mother's gambling addiction, and even my mental illness were never accidents. They had been carefully engineered to create the perfect tragic backstory for her, shaping her into the resilient, selfless heroine.
We were nothing more than disposable tools in her mission, used until we had served our purpose and then discarded.
