I Ended Up Raising My Younger Self

"Your parents' death is entirely your fault! It's all because you were so selfish!"

After losing her parents in a carriage accident, young Zoia grew up having these cruel words constantly hurled at her by her uncle's family, implanting a deep-seated guilt within her. Stripped of her entire inheritance, the once-noble young lady was eventually reduced to a lowly servant in her own home.

Zoia became an adult with no one to rely on and no one to protect her. The despair that had accumulated in her heart never faded, and she ultimately took her own life.

—But in the very next moment, fate sends her back ten years into the past.

Before her eyes is the day of her parents' funeral. And the one breaking down in tears beside the coffin is... her younger self.

Knowing the tragic future that awaits, Zoia hesitates for a split second. If I kill my younger self right now, wouldn't that hellish life cease to exist?

However, the moment she looks into those small, tear-soaked eyes, memories of the past flood her heart. If only someone had reached out a helping hand to me back then...

In that instant, Zoia makes a firm resolve. This time, with her own two hands, she will save the self that no one else ever came to rescue.
