Prologue

"You're not a daughter. You're a disease."

That's what her mother said the night she came home crying—with bruises on her body and dreams in her hands.

Mun was born unwanted, unloved by everyone except the people who should have protected her.

In a home filled with poverty, resentment, and silence, she grew up carrying everyone's hopes… except her own.

No tutors, no warmth, no rest—just grades, guilt, and grief.

Tried to be brilliant, obedient, perfect.

But nothing she did was ever enough.

Now, at 19, with shattered dreams and no place to go, Mun wonders—

Was she born to live, or just to exist?
