T/n: This extra is mainly about Yao Yue’s backstory, so there will be a lot of dark stuff, although nothing explicit was written. Proceed with caution peeps!
The girl had beautiful black hair, which was currently tied up in a lively yet no less elegant ponytail. She was wearing a well-fitting black lace dress, standing in the ball hall with a graceful bearing. With her chin slightly raised in a gentle arc and a calm smile on her lips, she generously accepted everyone’s gazes.
“…So, the adopted daughter Yao Yue hopes that everyone will take care of her.” The woman standing in front of her finally ended her greetings and patted the girl on the arm she was using to hold on to her.
The girl received her signal, so she immediately let go and went to mingle with the same-age young masters and young ladies from other families.
The girl’s name was Yao Yue, and she was the adopted daughter of Yao family’s Miss Yu.
Looking at the gorgeous and elegant venue in front of her, the personable heirs of various families, and the elegant and beautiful young ladies, Yao Yue curled up her lips—she should’ve never been able to reach this height in her entire life, and she also never even had such an extravagant hope. But right now, it had become a reality right in front of her eyes.
She went from a pauper to a princess—even if she wasn’t really a princess.
She knew that she was merely a cornerstone of the Yao family, not one of the core members, but so what? She was aware of her own value and knew that this was the most suitable position for her, so she wouldn’t feel any dissatisfaction.
How lucky was she now.
Exchanging the hardships she suffered in the past for her current family was too worthy of a deal.
She was born in a patriarchal family. Her parents cursed her for wasting their money and never let her eat on the same table or bought her any clothes. Her meals consisted only of their leftovers, and her clothes were only what her brother no longer wanted.
She stole her brother’s snacks because she was too hungry, and he almost sewed her mouth shut with a needle.
She was beaten and scolded by her own parents whenever they were upset, using her as a way to vent.
She was even almost molested by the friend brought back by her brother when she was ten years old. She resisted and ran away, but when she finally came back, she was severely beaten, stripped and thrown at the door, scolded for shamelessly seducing men.
Harsh insults, ruthless strikes on the body, adults’ indifference, and boy’s ridicule.

She gradually crumbled.

“I didn’t see anything, I don’t know anything.”
No matter what, she would get a beating. To make them lose money before they went to beat her again would be worth it. Yao Yue couldn’t figure it out—since they didn’t like her, why didn’t they just throw her away?
She was skin and bones—aside from some flesh on her face, she looked like a skeleton wrapped in human skin. It was truly hard to imagine how she had survived until now. Her whole body was covered with scars and bruises, and her eyes were dull. There was no longer any light in them.
The robber stared at her naked body for a long time before finally entering the door and ignoring her.
Yao Yue thought he was just a robber, but in fact, the man was a murderer, a butcher who treated people like animals, and had a daughter who was taken away by his divorced wife.
Yao Yue watched the whole massacre without moving a single limb.
Because they were all asleep, her family members were killed one by one without even realising it.
When the man left, he gestured at her with a kitchen knife, as if considering whether to kill her as well.
Yao Yue wasn’t the slightest bit afraid. Under the watchful eyes of the man, she found the secret key hidden by her mother and opened the money cabinet.
She helped a criminal murder her own family.
But so what?
She closed her eyes, raised her neck, and waited for the knife to fall onto her, but what finally came was the sound of the man’s leaving footsteps.
The next day, the neighbour called the police. No matter what they asked, Yao Yue only replied with three words—she didn’t know. She didn’t want to talk, and she didn’t want to think about anything. She was like a walking corpse. She didn’t feel any remorse, sadness, happiness—she felt nothing.
She didn’t know what happened to the murderer, who was said to have been caught, but so what? It was none of her business.
In the end, she was sent to an orphanage—and met the light of her life.
The man named Yao Qi became her obsession.
So the moment Yao Qi left, she grew to hate him. Killing Yao Qi became the meaning of her existence.
She tried to make herself look normal and worked hard to exercise herself. Her brother went to the military academy and even used her as a sandbag, so she knew how to make herself strong.
She even deliberately provoked some bastards to train herself.
In the end, she stole one of their mobile phones, found a copy of Yao Qi’s ID card in the archives of the orphanage, took a photo of it with the phone, and ran from the orphanage. After escaping, she went to the university Yao Qi attended, but her search was fruitless. After all, it had already been five years.
She was like a wandering soul. Eventually, she came across a pervert who made a move on her. Yao Yue glanced at him and finally got an idea.
Putting on a silly smile, she said, “Brother, you finally came to find me.”
The man’s surprise quickly turned into ecstasy. He took her hand and couldn’t stop blabbing, “I finally found you. Come home with me, little sister. Let brother take a good look at you.”
She clearly saw the man’s lust, but pretended to be ignorant and obediently nodded with the naive smile still on her face.
She felt nauseous inside, but sweetly acted like a fool on the outside.
The man brought her home and took out a set of lolita clothes for her to change into. Yao Yue took off her clothes without any scruples in front of the man, letting him take pictures of her as she put on the black lolita dress.
There was a lump on the man’s crotch. He rushed over, trying to tear her clothes, but Yao Yue dodged, saying that she was hungry.
The man said okay, and the moment he turned to go to the kitchen, Yao Yue hit him on the back of the head with a baseball bat. Yao Yue knew of her own strength, so she wasn’t worried about how to deal him.
She looted the man’s money, smashed the camera that took pictures of her body, took away the memory card, and then went to the train station to buy a ticket to the neighbouring city. She planned to search from city to city, and if it really didn’t work, then she would go to the police. But perhaps she was really lucky, because she saw her brother in that city.
She was just going to buy food when she saw Yao Qi paying for the bill in the supermarket.
At that moment, she felt she finally saw her redemption.
“Brother…” she murmured and smiled.
I found you.
She never expected that at that moment, her fate began to change its trajectory.
She was beaten into the hospital by Yao Qi’s mad dog, but she still didn’t want to give up, so she kept pestering him until the man finally adopted her.
She suffered too many beatings and was sent to the hospital too many times, but at the same time, she also received Yao Qi’s kindness.
She was supposed to be a lunatic, a murderer, a social scum. She had no ethics, no morals, no sense of guilt, no conscience—but she met Yao Qi, who instilled these things in her.
Yao Qi wrangled her to return to the normal path.
Yao Qi was her god.
The god who saved her life.
Later, Yao Qi brought her back to his family, where she was forced to learn all kinds of knowledge and etiquette. She was exhausted and completely spent, to the point she would still see the instructor’s face even when she fell asleep. She was so tired that she wanted to give up, but the moment she saw Yao Qi, she couldn’t bear to give up.
She wanted to be Yao Qi’s real sister.
And thus she persevered.
—and became a “princess”.
T/n: Sincerely happy for Yao Yue :’). When she first appeared I was kinda annoyed by her, but then she grew on me to the point I hoped the story would become a found-family trope, but alas, the author took a different turn haha.
She really did find her older brother. I am so happy for her but yeah, what a family to be adopted into.
Indeed, but the Yao family look like saints compared to her biological family hhhh
Truth
She is a really poor child, wanna cry :< But it’s nice to see that she now can be happy and safe~
Thank You for the new chapter（*’∀’人）♥
Yao Yue persevered through all that hardship and finally attained her dream :’)
Thank you for reading! 😘💝💝💝
Late comment but I want to thank Yao Yue for hitting that pervert a baseball bat for me. Pedophiles should die, for real.
