Before my rebirth, I was a "Brother-Supporting Demon."
To gather the dowry for my brother and satisfy my future sister-in-law, I took on various part-time jobs until I bled from my stomach.
To help him with the down payment, I knelt before my parents, begging them to give my brother the retirement money they had saved.
To take care of my brother's child, I gave up my own career and became a full-time nanny.
My brother's son was like my own.
If he wanted the stars in the sky, I would be willing to pick them for him.
Then, I died.
After being run over by a car, my legs were crushed beyond repair, and I could no longer stand.
It was only after losing my legs that I realized how foolish I had been.
I woke up too late.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself reborn many years ago.
My brother Liu An looked anxious: "Sister, Xiao Xin ran out just now, and now we don't know where he is. Please help me find him!"
Xiao Xin is his five-year-old son.
At that moment, it was summer vacation.
I felt a moment of confusion as memories unfolded before me.
In my previous life, I had found Xiao Xin in a bustling area of the city.
At that time, I was holding his hand while crossing the street when a balloon suddenly flew up beside us.
Xiao Xin broke free from my grip to chase after the balloon.
I hurried to pull him back, but it was already too late.
A small truck came speeding towards us.
In a moment of desperation, I pushed Xiao Xin away and got hit by the vehicle myself.
When I woke up, I had lost my legs and could never stand again.
What crushed me even more was that I had lost my ability to bear children. At that time, the doctor regretfully said, "Your history of cysts has led to your inability to conceive. Moreover, this car accident has left your already fragile legs unable to stand again."
My younger brother kept apologizing and hit Xiao Xin a few times, saying, "It's all your fault that you harmed your aunt!" Xiao Xin cried out loud from the beating. I felt heartbroken and protected Xiao Xin, saying, "Stop hitting him; he's still young and didn't do it on purpose."
With red eyes, my brother said to Xiao Xin, "Your aunt will never be able to have children in this lifetime. You are her son now, and you must take care of her in the future!" Xiao Xin nodded innocently.
Then my brother knelt before me and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. You are the best person in the world to me." What did I say back then? I said, "You are my only brother; if I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well?"
Having been reborn, I still remember the pain from that time—the pain of having my legs amputated and the pain of having my uterus removed. I was in so much pain that I considered ending my life several times. But when I saw my brother crying and my innocent nephew, I chose to endure.
In this life, I no longer want to be the Brother-Supporting Demon. I just want to be myself. Liu An urged me when he saw that I wasn't moving, saying, "Sister, hurry and look for Xiao Xin! He's still so small; what if something happens to him?"
Yes, he was only five years old. But I was already thirty. Hadn't he harmed me enough for a lifetime? Did I still have to continue being the Brother-Supporting Demon? My husband Zhang Zhao held my hand. His hand was warm, and his gaze was firm: "Cece, I'll go with you." In my previous life, after my car accident, Zhang Zhao quit his job to take care of me every day.
He took care of all my needs. At that time, we had agreed to be DINKs for life. But later, in order to soothe my wounded heart, he was even willing to consider having a test-tube baby. He is a good person. I, however, feel like a burden. I pulled my hand away and said, "Zhang Zhao, you don't have to do this; I can manage on my own." Zhang Zhao looked at me with concern and said, "Cece, if you're feeling down, you can tell me." I shook my head and replied, "I'm fine." After I decided not to be the Brother-Supporting Demon anymore, many things became clear. Liu An is not my biological brother; I am merely his nominal sister.
