I, on the other hand, was born with congenital deficiencies and was skinny. So, I stayed in the incubator for three months.

"Honey, do you think this girl is the jinx?"

My dad stared at my face and pondered.

"You stay at home with our son. I'll take my daughter to our hometown and see what happens."

So, my dad took me to the mountains when I was still an infant.

I kept crying on the way, and my dad impatiently picked up the milk bottle and stuffed it into my mouth.

But I still kept crying. He just ignored me and went straight into the mountains.

Before we could reach the foot of the mountain, there was a mudslide. My dad finally made it back to the city after several narrow escapes.

After that day, I was left to the care of a nanny and rarely saw my parents.

I was six years old back then, and I didn’t understand my parents' thoughts.

But I often heard my parents say, "Keep that jinx away from Trevor. Don't let her ruin his luck."

"I'll clean up the basement tomorrow and let her move in."

Not long after I moved to the basement, my dad suddenly made a successful investment. Then, our family moved into a villa.

I just moved to a bigger basement with a small window.

I never went outside. I wasn't allowed to.

So, I could only look through the window and watch my parents play with my brother in the garden.

My dad would hold my brother above his head, and my mom would kiss his forehead gently. They smiled genuinely.

I wondered if my parents didn’t like me because I was a girl.

I started to act like a boy.

I thought if I turned myself into a boy, my parents would like me, too.

One night, I sneaked out, took some clothes that my brother had thrown away, and cut my hair short with scissors.

My hands were too small to control the scissors well. So I scratched my head, and blood flowed down the top of my head, but I didn't care.

Looking at the boy version of me in the mirror, I smiled.

I waited in front of my parents' door, looking forward to their reaction when they saw me the following day.

I waited in excitement all night, but the next day...

My dad looked at me with disgust and growled, "Who told you to do this? Look at you, so ugly! Go back and never come out!"

Seeing my dad's disgusted look, I turned to my mom expectantly.

But she kicked me without warning.

"You're just a jinx. Behave yourself! Don't dress like that. You could bring bad luck to Trevor!"

My dad threw me back into the basement.
