Deliberate Fall

Read

Sheng Jia has suffered a painful life since childhood, never having known even a hint of sweetness. The only time she experienced pure kindness was from her school’s pride and joy—Song Ji’an. Song Ji’an was an exceedingly radiant girl who repeatedly reached out to her, disregarding school gossip; even after being repeatedly coldly rejected, she never hesitated to offer a friendly smile.

Sheng Jia had long coveted Song Ji’an, yet she dared not approach her, for she was like the bright moon—untouchable. That is, until one day when the truth emerged: Song Ji’an was the fake “millennial daughter,” while Sheng Jia was the real one. All the suffering she endured had stemmed from the selfishness of Sheng Jia’s father, who allowed Song Ji’an to occupy her rightful place for seventeen years. In a fit of rage, the Song family expelled Song Ji’an from their home, and in turn, they lavished Sheng Jia with care and affection.

However, a transformed Sheng Jia one day picked up the downtrodden Song Ji’an from the roadside and brought her back home. When her mother questioned this decision, Sheng Jia masked the turbulent emotions in her eyes and replied in a calm tone, “Look how pitiful she is.” In truth, Song Ji’an was the moon Sheng Jia had tainted with dust—she merely picked her up, cleansed her, and then… kept her for herself. Nothing more.

Perhaps unbeknownst to anyone, Sheng Jia had orchestrated countless heart-fluttering deceptions in front of Song Ji’an, only to eventually discover that she was the one who had fallen first.
