For eighteen years, I believed I was the daughter of a dirt-poor family. I wore secondhand clothes, went hungry, and studied like my life depended on it. When an elite university finally accepts me, I ask my father for tuition. In front of the neighbors, he throws my acceptance letter in my face and tells me to quit school, get a job, and marry. Then I hear the truth through my parents' bedroom door. My father isn't poor at all. He has a massive fortune and hid it from me for years, refusing to spend even twenty dollars on his own daughter because every cent is meant for the son he doesn't even have yet. Worse, my parents plan to marry me off for a bride price. But I'm done begging. With nothing but my grades, my scholarship, and my own grit, I'll fight for the future they tried to steal. They lied to me for eighteen years. Now I'll make sure the whole world knows it.
