My Daughter Is Not Your Damsel

Summary

I was supposed to be the mother of the tragic heroine in a paperback drama. My mission, handed down by a disembodied voice I’ve come to call ‘the System,’ was to save her from a miserable fate—a life of abuse at the hands of some dime-store villain.

The System laid out the grim starting point: 【A cheating father, dead too soon. A mother who vanished overseas. A frail, sick grandmother, and a lonely girl left to fend for herself. How do you plan to save her from this?】

I slid my McLaren to a halt in a perfect drift in front of her rundown apartment building and killed the engine.
