Stop following me around, for God's sake!
Life was a disaster from the moment of birth. The woman who gave birth to me—my so-called mother—beat me as soon as I was born and abandoned me at a godforsaken orphanage. However, at the orphanage, my exceptional intellect earned me more attention and envy than other children my age. My appearance, knowledge, and refinement eventually caught Chairman Kim's eye. From the moment I was adopted by Chairman Kim and brought to the mansion, I lived under constant oppression. Tutoring, management, practical training, drills, obedience, submission, discipline, perfection, successor. Those words haunted me every single day. One day, unable to take it anymore, I rebelled. That day, I was beaten in the punishment room for the entire day. After that, Chairman Kim, sensing a hint of defiance in me, assigned a supervisor to watch my every move. When will I ever be able to live as my own person? Will I ever escape this suffocating cycle?
