Everyone in the house knows that Mr. Huan is a loser.
His aunt didn't like him, his father didn't love him, and even his servants dared to look down on him.
No one knows that this "trash" is the wisdom of his mother, Aunt Zhao, to survive:
"Huan'er, remember, in Jia Mansion, if you want to live, you must first learn how to pretend to be dead."
He has been pretending for more than ten years.
Pretend until everyone is wary of him, until Mrs. Wang feels that he is not even worthy of being dealt with.
He watched with cold eyes as this building prospered, watched as the Wang family members installed cronies, and watched as the Jia family dug their own graves.
He thought he would endure the raids on Jia's house, endure until the trees fell and the hozens scattered, and then take his mother to find a deserted place to live a peaceful life.
But they didn't even give him this thought.
They set their sights on his only biological sister, Tanchun, and wanted to use her marriage to fill the hole in the Wang family.
Jia Huan finally stopped pretending.
