Shi Yao wiped the tears from her face, the scene before her feeling inexplicably familiar.
She remembered when she had just been adopted by her older brother. At the time, she was still wearing a yellowish, worn-out sweater she had grit her teeth and salvaged from a dumpster to get through the winter. Back then, it was the dead of cold, whereas now, the wedding dress she held in her hands was something she once wouldn't even have dared to imagine.
Shi Yao had once wondered what kind of life would have awaited her if she hadn't met her brother back then. Perhaps she would have been beaten to death by Shi Jing, or perhaps she would have been drugged, knocked unconscious, and sold off. Either way, whichever fate it was, she would never have met a good end.
