After Being Abused by the Male Lead, I Chose to Escape
After failing to win over three guys, the system
informed me that I could return to my original
world by dying.
So, I happily ordered a carb–loaded feast in a
dim basement. After I finished it, I grabbed a
ready to hang myself.
горо
But just as I was about to put my head in the
noose, I saw a stream of comments flashing
before my eyes.
[Sis, no! Your brother is only acting this way
toward you because he feels indebted to your
adoptive sister. You’re the one he truly loves!]
[Yeah, your fiancé is the same. He’s only doing
this because your adoptive sister once saved
him. The truth is, it breaks his heart every time he hurts you!]
<
[Your childhood sweetheart only feels guilty
towards your adoptive sister. Sis, don’t give up! Don’t commit suicide. They’ll all go crazy if you
die!]
I was standing on the stool when these strange
comments suddenly appeared.
After reading them, I just found it incredibly
laughable.
For over twenty years, I had tried to get the
love of this world’s three main guys, pouring all
my heart and soul into it. Yet, because the
adoptive sister once faked a suicide attempt,
they relentlessly tormented me, kicked me out
to a dark, sunless apartment, and saddled me
with huge debts. Now, these comments were
telling me that I was the one they truly loved? It
was laughable.

I ignored them, put my head into the noose, and
kicked the stool away. The sensation of
suffocation gradually spread.
Before my eyes, I saw my parents‘ loving
smiles.
Great, I was going home.
[Everyone, don’t worry, big bro is coming! He’ll
act tough but will secretly save our sis.]
[Yeah, yeah, big bro pretends to hate sis, but
he’ll freak out when he sees her trying to kill
herself!]
[The adoptive sister saved the three guys, so
they have to repay the debt. Sis, please
understand them. After the fiancé and adoptive
sister have their wedding, they’ll have
completely repaid the debt!]
The next second, the basement’s rickety door
was slammed open.
My brother, Jason, pulled me down, a flash of
panic in his eyes.
I crashed to the ground. Too bad, I didn’t get to
see Mom and Dad.
“Sarah, why the hell are you faking a suicide?
Amber has depression because of you. She’s
just having a wedding with Ethan, it’s not like
they’re really getting married. Who are you
trying to get sympathy from?”
“Do you think anyone will pity you if you kill
yourself? It just disgusts me.”
Looking at his familiar face, which now seemed
to hate me, my heart ached numbly.
Jason was the family’s bastard son. When he
first came to my house, everyone hated him. He
was often bullied at school.
<
I was the first to hold his hand, telling him that
he was good.
I shared everything with him. He loved piano,
and I argued with the elders, managing to get
him a chance to study under a master.
He wanted a rare, out–of–print sheet music,
and when I found it, it was in pieces.
I spent several days and nights piecing it back
together for him, even ruining my eyes in the
process.
He used to carry me on his back, saying he’d
be good to me for life.
“Sarah is my sister. Even if it costs me my life, I
won’t let Sarah get hurt.”
The person who once made those firm
promises changed completely after the adoptive
sister, Amber, arrived.
<
Amber often pretended to be innocent, framing
- me. When I was about to marry my fiancé,
Ethan, she ran to the rooftop in a wedding dress, threatening to jump.
To comfort her, my fiancé and brother kicked
me out of the family, scheming to saddle me with huge debts and blacklisting me in the city.
For the past three years, I’ve been hiding,
getting beaten up by loan sharks.
My legs, which used to dance ballet, were now
crippled from a fracture.
[Ugh, actually, it’s hard for big bro to say all
these things. Look at how tightly his fists are
clenched.]
[Because he hasn’t finished repaying the debt
yet. I know sis is wronged, but you have to think
about your brother. He’s only favoring the
adoptive sister because of gratitude.]
<
[So angsty! I feel sorry for big bro.]
It was laughable. Their gratitude had nothing to
do with me. For over twenty years, I had done
everything for Jason.
