The MC's biological father is alive. She had always prayed for her biological father to be alive and to return safely with lots of money—but the truth is far from that. He was alive from the very beginning and abandoned them, leaving them to pay off his debts while he lived with his other family.
The MC's mother knew the truth all along (in the past timeline), so she made proper precautions this time. But when the MC found out, she was devastated.
Good thing the emperor (MC's dad) was there to comfort her.
ahh ty!
Is this based on a novel? If so, can someone who has ead the novel spoil who her father is ?
