[Old-school discipline + father-son affection + no romance + physical and emotional angst + a father’s desperate quest to win back his son]
His father belongs to the righteous path, his mother to the demonic cult. He is a pitiful, unloved boy who is neither wholly good nor evil.
Though he is the young master of Yunmeng Palace, his mother treats him as a pawn in her revenge.
For sixteen years, he has tasted the world's cruelty and never received even the slightest warmth.
On the night the Eight Great Sects lay siege to the palace, his mother abandons him, leaving him to be captured and tortured by them.
Covered in wounds, he accidentally uncovers the truth of his birth: the Martial Alliance Leader is the father he has never met!
The righteous and demonic paths divide them, yet the bond of blood binds them tightly together.
He is taken back to the Martial Alliance, where he is interrogated, tortured, and caught in a web of misunderstandings.
He longs for even a little warmth from his father, but all he receives is suspicion, imprisonment, and harsh reproach.
His birth mother has spent half her life plotting, using him as a blade to destroy his father's hard-won reputation.
Bound by the strictures of the righteous path, his father presses him at every turn, though it pains him to do so.
For half his life, he has been cast aside: on one side is the mother who uses him, and on the other the father he cannot approach.
Caught between the righteous and the demonic, where can he find a place to call home?
Years later, Shen Canglan searches the whole world like a madman, snatches him back from the gates of death, and pulls him into his arms with red-rimmed eyes.
“Mian'er... Father knows he was wrong.”
Shen Canglan has never begged anyone in his life. This is the one time he kneels and begs his son for forgiveness.
I was super interested in reading the synopsis, but when I looked at the table of contents, I had no desire to read any more [face covering] When I looked at the synopsis, I thought it was a crematorium story about a father and son who abused their father, but when I looked at the table of contents, my mother came clean, or it seemed like she was okay from the beginning, but for the crimes that the protagonist suffered, I don't think that either parent can be cleared away if they are innocent, and when I looked at the table of contents, the protagonist seems not to blame at all and is trying to please her.
