After My Cousin Died in a Pearl Milk BathChapter 1

My cousin's entire skin was dark, rough, and she was tried all kinds of whitening products to no avail.

Her best friend told her that soaking in a mixture of pearl powder and milk every day for seven days would rejuvenate her skin, making it white and smooth, as if reborn.

Pearl powder is expensive, and her family came to my house to borrow money, threatening and causing a scene.

My parents, thinking it better to avoid trouble by spending money, lent them 30,000 dollars.

But I never expected my cousin would soak in the milk for 24 hours straight!

"People can't stay in water for that long, it's too much for the body to bear."

I tried to reason with her, but her parents threw me out of the house.

"Get out! I think you're just jealous that my daughter will become a beauty! You're not welcome here!"

Three days later, my cousin died from an explosive rupture in the milk bath.

Her parents blamed her tragic death on my family.

"If you hadn't lent us the money, we wouldn't have let her soak in the milk bath! If you had insisted on stopping her, my daughter wouldn't have died!"

Furious, her parents stabbed my entire family to death.
