He was once the brightest sun in the Capital Star: Zhuang Mumian. Born into an exceptionally wealthy family, he possessed an artistic gift like the hand of God and was the only old family friend who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ji Fa.
In a single night, heaven became hell.
His beloved “aunt” lay in a pool of blood, and he became the only suspect. Ji Fa, who had trusted him, personally sent him to the Federation’s darkest prison.
Six years in purgatory smoothed away his rough edges, but couldn’t extinguish the starlight in his eyes. He returned with a broken body and the last scraps of his pride, thinking he might finally get the chance to uncover the truth.
Instead, a deeper abyss awaited him.
A new “darling” had taken his place at Ji Fa’s side: Ye Shucheng. She looked nearly identical to him, yet was more docile and knew better how to please, a perfect substitute.
His dignity was ground into the dirt.
His personhood was trampled and humiliated at will.
A dust-covered cherry was the last scrap of pity she showed him, and her cruelest humiliation. He swallowed it without expression, along with all his love and fantasies about her.
(Ji Fa is just a poor soul kept in the dark, too. She was deceived into hurting Zhuang Mumian, and only “forced” him because she was manipulated. She never meant any harm. After all, the heroine is also a victim of the matriarchal system, so we can’t blame her too harshly! She’ll learn how to love later! She’ll chase after her husband and beg for forgiveness. She’s an absolutely wonderful woman! She was just blinded by deception and made the same mistake all women make. She deserves everyone’s forgiveness!)
