Chapter 1

After my brother's death, my parents forced me to undergo plastic surgery to look like him and live his life.

"Your brother was a genius. His fiancée and research project can't just disappear. You have to take over," they insisted.

"You've never amounted to anything anyway. Living his life is a windfall for you!"

They seemed to forget that I had my own name and life.

My personal records were erased, yet my parents felt completely justified.

"If you're a good son, you'll understand our position."

"We're doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful."

Everyone thought I would break down and run away. Instead, I laughed.

"He was a genius? Fine, I'll take his place."

Later, wearing my brother's face, I signed a high-stakes agreement with his former rival and even conducted more daring experiments in his name.

"Son, don't do anything rash. It could ruin our family..." my parents pleaded.

I looked at them calmly.

"I understand now."

I gripped the will my brother left behind and silently fed it into the paper shredder.
