Qin Zhen looked exactly like the man's first love. To find out what had happened to his older brother, he had no choice but to disguise himself as that beloved and get close to the man.
In the past, Qin Zhen had been a human medicine experiment, with nothing to call his own and frequent beatings to endure. Ever since he came to live with the man, his world had been turned upside down.
The man was handsome, refined, and steady and gentle in everything he did.
Even after Qin Zhen repeatedly offended him, the man usually gave him no more than a stern warning, occasionally meting out a mild punishment. Yet whenever Qin Zhen was hurt, he always came at once to take care of him, tending to everything personally.
The man gave him a place to live. On cold winter days, he tucked Qin Zhen's icy hands and feet into his arms. When he learned that Qin Zhen was somewhat intellectually impaired, he didn't look down on him; instead, he patiently taught him to read and write.
Naive and foolish, Qin Zhen only knew that the man was good to him. So when the man proposed, he agreed without a second thought.
But their happiness didn't last. On an outing, they encountered the man's true first love, who was covered in wounds and so frail that he could barely stand, with little time left to live. The culprit behind it all turned out to be Qin Zhen's missing older brother.
Qin Zhen's identity as an impostor was exposed in front of everyone. At the same time, the man accidentally overheard that Qin Zhen had conspired with someone else to poison him.
With red-rimmed eyes, Qin Zhen tried to explain, but the man's sinister, terrifying gaze cut him to the heart, leaving him unable to speak. Tears as large as beans rolled down his cheeks as his thin, small frame trembled uncontrollably.
He knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he quietly left in the dead of night.
But the moment he stepped outside, he ran into the man, who angrily demanded to know where he was going.
