Xia Fanxing had known since childhood that her parents favored sons over daughters.
How good they were to Xia Xiaoyang, they were equally unkind to her.
At only five years old, she had to wash clothes, cook, and clean for the family.
Whereas Xia Xiaoyang was always spoiled by their parents, never having to lift a finger and free to do as he wished.
Xia Fanxing could only look on with envy, knowing that any act of resistance would be met with a brutal beating, leaving her with not a single unbruised spot.
The little girl was utterly helpless.
It was only when another sister joined the family that Xia Fanxing realized her parents' bias wasn't just a simple case of preferring boys over girls.
They simply didn't like her.
Xia Xinxin, also a daughter, received all the love and care from their parents. They provided her with the best they could offer, from food to education.
Only the things Xia Xinxin didn't want or like would be handed down to Xia Fanxing.
