My name was Yuan Junyao, a name my grandmother gave me, meaning "beautiful jade", although I was not beautiful at all. Actually I was ugly.

I was told that I grew tumours on my face since I wasn't even 3 months old. My parents had me examined in hospital and the doctor said it was a fibroma and it was benign. It couldn't kill me but I couldn't get rid of it because if I did, it may develop to fatal.

My father started to beat my mother since then for he blamed her for having a sick child who got disease from her bad gene.

In less than two years, after my father got promoted at work, he divorced my mother and never came back to see me again.

My mother started to see a man soon after. That man didn't like the way I looked and worried my tumours were contagious, so he forced my mother to send me away to my grandmother who lived in a village. Over these years, I had only seen my mother for a couple of times.

When I was in the third year of junior high school, my stepfather killed somebody in a fight and might end up in prison for his entire life. My mother passed away for working too much. I wasn't too sad for her death because she was basically a stranger to me.

Very soon a boy three years younger than me got send to us. His name was Shen Anyi, a son of my stepfather and his ex-wife. No one in my stepfather's family wanted to take him in. So the police turned to us.

Grandma was a softhearted woman, said he was only a poor boy, so she let him stay.

Since then, I had a brother.

My little brother was raised by my mother, so he had a character similar to my mother's. He was intimidated by me the first time he saw me though, he got used to it and called me sister later and stayed very close to me.

Because of my tumours, I had to wear a hat and mask when I went out. My classmates bullied me a lot. Teachers hated me. They never stood up for me. Day by day, I learned to keep everything inside.

One day a boy in my class pulled my mask off and grabbed my hair in front of the class, and laughed, "Look at her! She is hideous. If I were this ugly, I would kill myself."

The whole class stared at me, pointing fingers at me. I had never felt so humiliated but I had no guts to fight back. All I did was to stay silent with my head down.

Right at that moment, Shen Anyi stormed in and punched that boy like crazy. That boy was tall and strong. My brother got beaten back and his face looked like a piece of shit but he squeezed a smile at me, "Sister, I will protect you."

From that day on, I treated him like my blood.

Grandma passed away when I was in senior grade 3, which meant we had no income. I got admitted by Jinling University, but I quitted because of its tuition fees. I left everything grandma left us to my brother to go to university.

He was so smart and got enrolled by the best high school in Shancheng. We moved to the city. I couldn't find a decent job because I was too ugly and had no good education. I could only do waitressing or package delivering.

I had three jobs at the same time and package delivering earned me the most money. I delivered day and night, even when no one wanted to do.

On that day, it was dark night. My boss gave me a parcel and rushed me to deliver, saying that it was very urgent. I had to ride my scooter.

It was a remote villa that took me a while to find. They seemed to be having a party in the house because it was really loud.

I knocked on the door and gave the parcel to him, and said, "Please sign here."
