Chapter 1

My daughter clutched my hand, her body trembling with sobs, as she choked out words into the live camera:

“Dear netizens, even if it means giving every last bit of my bone marrow, I will save my dad! He raised me, now I’ll care for him in his old age!”

My son stood beside her, eyes red-rimmed, bowing deeply to the camera:

“Thank you for all your donations. We’ll sell everything we own to make sure Dad gets better!”

The comments instantly flooded the entire screen:

“Now *these* are truly filial children! So touching!”

“That old man must have done good deeds in his past life to have such amazing kids!”

“Already donated! Wishing a speedy recovery to the uncle!”

The whole internet envied me, saying I had a pair of devoted children eager to donate their bone marrow.

Only I knew they were here to claim my life.

The live stream ended, and from the end of the hallway, I heard the siblings’ conversation. There wasn’t a hint of their earlier sobs, only cold calculation:

“Bro, I really don’t want to donate bone marrow to that old man. It’ll hurt my body and mess up my wedding photos next month!”

“Don’t worry, silly sis, who’s actually going to donate to him? We’ll just tell the netizens the transplant failed due to rejection, and they can’t check the records anyway.”

“Oh, right! And when he dies, that downtown apartment of his and his fifty thousand in savings, we’ll split it evenly!”

“Plus, the eighty thousand from the netizens’ donations, we’ll divide that too. It’ll be just enough for your wedding fund!”

I lay in my hospital bed, listening to them plot how to divide my assets, and quietly activated a hidden live stream.

Today, I would expose these “internet’s most filial children” and ruin their lives.
