I Ended Up Raising My Child Self

“Your parents died because of your selfishness!” Zoia lost her parents in a carriage accident when she was a child. From that moment on, she grew up hearing those cruel words again and again from her uncle and his family. Since she was little, they made her believe that she was to blame, and that feeling took deep root in her heart. All of her parents’ inheritance was taken from her, and although she had once been a young noble lady, she was eventually reduced to a servant in the mansion. Zoia grew up with no one to rely on and no one to protect her. The despair that had accumulated in her heart never disappeared, and in the end, she decided to take her own life. However, in the very next moment, fate sent her ten years into the past. Before her eyes was the day of her parents’ funeral. And the one crying inconsolably beside the coffins was… her own childhood self. Zoia, knowing the tragedy that awaited her in the future, thought for a moment: If she killed her younger self right then and there, would that hellish life never come to exist? But the moment she saw those small eyes filled with tears, memories of the past welled up in her chest. If only someone had reached out to her back then… At that moment, Zoia made a decision. This time, I will save my childhood self with my own hands—the girl who was never saved by anyone.
