Chapter 1
The autopsy report of my daughter revealed she had been drugged and subjected to long-term beatings and abuse before her death.
I admit I wasn't a good mother. It wasn't until after Lily's death that I finally acknowledged this fact.
Night after night, I was haunted by nightmares. In my dreams, my daughter, covered in blood, would say to me, "Mom, avenge me."
I had pushed her towards the abyss in my desire for her to succeed.
I spent all my savings on plastic surgery, forged a new identity, and finally managed to infiltrate this prestigious preschool.
Don't cry, Lily. Mom is here to avenge you.
I removed the layers of bandages from my head. When I looked in the mirror again, I couldn't help but marvel.
What a beauty.
Willow-leaf eyebrows, double eyelids - a strange combination, yet exuding charm.
The plastic surgeon asked me, "Can I take a photo to use as a template?"
I smiled and declined.
It's best if this face isn't exposed to the public too much.
After a few days of recovery, I went for an interview at an elite preschool called Pink White Purple.
The vice principal who interviewed me was very satisfied with my qualifications. After a series of questions, I passed the interview.
As I was about to leave, she asked why someone fluent in four languages and with overseas experience would want to be a preschool teacher.
I smiled and said, "The flowers of our nation deserve the best protection."
