After my rebirth, the first thing I did was grab a baseball bat and swing it at my fake paralyzed adoptive parents, Julian and Mary Thornton. In my previous life, after Julian and Mary suddenly became "paralyzed," the responsibility of caring for my younger brother Jacob Thornton fell entirely on my shoulders. To support them, I was forced to drop out of school. Later, I worked three jobs simultaneously, desperately raising my brother until he got into MIT. Later, I worked three jobs simultaneously, desperately raising my brother until he got into MIT. I returned to my hometown to share this good news with Julian and Mary. But the moment I walked through the door, I saw the "paralyzed" Julian and Mary standing perfectly fine, embracing a girl who looked exactly like me, calling her "my daughter" with faces full of affection. I couldn't believe it. I approached them to demand an explanation, only to be pushed to the ground with disgust written all over their faces. They mocked me without any attempt to hide their contempt, and that's when I finally understood—I was the switched daughter of a wealthy family, having had my identity swapped with their biological daughter since childhood. "If we hadn't needed you to support Jacob, we would've thrown you out on the streets long ago. Now that Jacob's gotten into college, you're worthless. Get lost." At Mary's command, bodyguards swarmed me, pinning me to the ground. And my brother, whom I had protected since childhood, just stood there coldly, watching me get beaten to death without a trace of pity in his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Julian and Mary announced their paralysis.

The chilling premise of I knocked off my parents' legs redefines betrayal through the lens of filial duty and identity theft. Protagonist’s entire adolescence is sacrificed—school abandoned, three grueling jobs taken—to care for her “paralyzed” adoptive parents and younger brother Jacob. Her selflessness isn’t just noble; it’s systematically exploited, turning love into labor and loyalty into liability.
Everything collapses when she returns home triumphant—Jacob accepted to MIT—only to find Julian and Mary standing unscathed, doting on a girl who mirrors her own face. Their cruelty is surgical: they confirm she was swapped at birth, raised solely as unpaid caretaker and emotional scaffolding for their biological son. The final blow? Jacob watches her beaten without flinching—a gut-wrenching testament to how thoroughly she was erased from their moral universe. This moment anchors the story’s emotional gravity and thematic core: worth measured not in love, but utility.
Waking back to the day of their “paralysis” transforms grief into agency. I knocked off my parents' legs isn’t just revenge fantasy—it’s a tightly plotted psychological reset, where every prior sacrifice becomes fuel for strategic dismantling. With foreknowledge, she seizes control: no more martyrdom, no more blind trust. Every choice now serves truth, justice, and reclaiming her stolen identity—not as a victim, but as the architect of her own reckoning.
