At the engagement party, my adoptive mother forced me to take the blame for my brother who raped me. My fiancée threw wine in front of everyone and broke off the engagement: "You loser, you only deserve to kneel down and watch me marry into a wealthy family!"
When my humiliation was broadcast live on the entire Internet, the sky suddenly darkened, and nine dragon-headed fighter jets with the word "Su" printed on them descended.
The first housekeeper in Kyoto knelt tremblingly at my feet, with tears streaming down his face: "Young Master, the family curse has broken out, and I am dying! We are in dire need, and I beg you to return to your position and take charge of the Heavenly Way Monument!"
The whole place was dead silent.
I wiped the wine stains off my face and looked at my dazed fiancée: "Engagement? I didn't take it seriously."
He turned around and asked the housekeeper: "The Su family... Hasn't been destroyed by those moths?"
The next day, the richest man in Yuncheng kneeled down and begged for forgiveness with half of the city's assets; the underground emperor who bullied me in the past "repented" at the dock all night.
And all this is just the beginning——
When my memory completely awakened, I realized that I was not an abandoned son, but the eldest son of the Su family who had self-exiled ten thousand years ago to cut off the curse.
Now the curse will consume the heavens.
Reader comments
When I was imagining the opening chapter, I deliberately pushed Su Yuan's situation to the extreme: not only was he materially poor (a delivery boy), but his dignity was completely crushed by his closest relatives (adoptive mother, fiancée) in public, supplemented by the public opinion trial broadcast live on the entire network. This design is not to torture for the sake of torture, but to serve a vital creative purpose: to establish absolute emotional potential. Only when readers sink into the deepest trench with the protagonist and experience the suffocating despair and humiliation, and then the "dimensionality-enhancing strike" reversal brought about by the arrival of the Dragon Head Fighter, Zhongbo's kneeling greeting, and the vision of Wanlong's worship, can an emotional release at the level of a nuclear explosion be produced. This is not only a reversal of status, but also a complete subversion and dimensionality reduction of the Prequel world (the secular rules of Cloud City). Su Yuan's words, "Hasn't the Su family been defeated by those moths?" Is the announcement of this change of perspective - he has instantly changed from a "chess piece" who needs to look up to the rules to a "chess player" who looks down and questions the rules. The "low" in the early stage is to achieve the "high" in the later stage, and the ultimate depression is to exchange for the ultimate pleasure. This is the first and most shocking practice that runs through the core of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" throughout the book.
Su Yuan's revenge is not a mindless massacre, but a precise, cold and layered "surgery". The first step is economic decapitation (Yip Group goes bankrupt), destroying the foundation and social status on which it relies for survival. The second step is legal trial (Ye Hao is imprisoned), using secular rules to punish specific perpetrators, which is justifiable. The third step is social death (the Zhao family regrets their marriage), which cuts off their last attachment and hope, causing them to be abandoned by the entire circle. These three steps were precise and targeted at the Ye family's "money", "people" and "power" respectively, completely disintegrating all dimensions of the family. The best thing is the treatment of Ye Qingxue: the sentence "I feel dirty" is the ultimate denial of her spiritual core. This kind of revenge is not the destruction of the body, but the complete shattering of the values and pride on which it relies for survival, making it alive and dead. Through this revenge, the author clearly conveys to readers Su Yuan's acting style: rational, efficient, heart-killing, and good at using rules and power. This not only makes readers feel happy, but also creates an image of a strong man with both wisdom and strength, preventing the protagonist from becoming a reckless man with only force.
