The Road Is Long, But Light Awaits

Summary

Ten years ago, in the Great Explosion, my father sacrificed himself in the blaze, saving the entire city. Citizens forged a golden medal for him and voluntarily donated money to support my education.

But my mother immediately used all of it for plastic surgery, marrying the richest man and becoming a high-society wife. To curry favor with my stepbrother, she even poured the remaining money into his gaming account.

And I became the lowest servant in the household, part of her dowry, allowing myself to be beaten, cursed, and bullied with my mother's tacit approval.
