Synopsis

[Father and Son; Angsty Family Bonds; Retaliation; No Romance; Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic; Shadow Guard]

This story has some over-the-top angst. Please skip it if that’s not your thing~

He was once the most honored young master of the Su family. At twelve, he was sent to the Dark Hall, where he lost his name and became nothing more than a codename: Lingli.

He was the youngest person ever to hold power in the Dark Hall, and the Su family’s most obedient weapon. His father treated him like a tool, his younger brother made him the butt of jokes, and his elder brother wanted to protect him but never could. He knelt in the ancestral hall, endured the lashes, and swallowed every grievance, believing that if he could endure enough, one day they would finally see him.

Then he was framed for murder, tortured in prison, and injected with poison. While protecting his younger brother, he nearly lost his life in the bitter cold. On the day he was released, he knelt on the ground and cautiously called out, “Dad.” A glimmer of tears appeared in the eyes of the man who had been cold and hard his whole life.

It turned out he had walked the road to atonement alone for far too long. At last, just as he was about to break, his family turned back to him.
