He was handsome and lovable, and was a lucky man in the eyes of others. But he didn't feel that life was good at all, and he was at a loss about the environment and people around him. He worked hard to please others in order to gain attention. He was cheerful and lively on the surface, but dark and dark on the inside. He lived in a deceitful way. Later, Ye Zang met the bohemian Horiki. Horiki was like a poisonous snake from the Garden of Eden, opening the door to hell for him. From then on, Ye Zang, who lost hope in life, became more and more addicted to wine and sex, and fell into eternal depravity.
