Chapter 2

My father had lost his mind.

He had won five million-more money than he could have earned in a lifetime.

He was staring at my sister with a look so intense it was as if he wanted to devour her.

But my mother was the one who couldn’t sit still first.

My mother was forty years old and weighed nearly four hundred jin. People would mock her whenever she claimed her weight was a sign of prosperity or that she brought good fortune to her husband.

She shoved me aside in her excitement.

“Wenjing, I’m begging you. This is the only wish Mom has.”

My sister narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“Sure.”

After that, my mother followed my sister to the back of the house.

When they returned, my mother was carrying a tray with an unknown liquid on it.

It was a dark, blackish-red, looking exactly like plasma.

After drinking the liquid, my mother’s massive body began to shrink like a deflating balloon, losing three-quarters of its mass instantly.

When we looked again, my mother-who used to weigh four hundred jin and would wheeze after taking just two steps-had transformed into a slender, hundred-jin beauty.

While everyone else was reeling in shock at the transformation before our eyes, I noticed that the birthmark on Wenjing’s face had turned black.
