Shen Muzhi is a shady illegitimate son of the Shen family. He was brought home with only one purpose - to serve as a living blood bank for his eldest brother Shen Chaozhi.
In that cold mansion, he lived like a shadow until Gu Linshen reached out to him: "Come to me, I will protect you."
Gu Linshen gave him everything he had never had: protection, preference, and a nominal home. Shen Muzhi held a sincere heart and humbly looked up at his light, but overheard the conversation between Gu Linshen and others——
"Linshen, you are too interested in that boy from the Shen family."
"It's just a toy, kept to relieve boredom."
It turns out that his salvation was just another cruel act of charity.
Shen Muzhi disappeared, as cleanly as if he had never appeared before.
Many years later, at a top auction, Gu Linshen attended as a distinguished guest. The final auction item is not an antique, but a person - a thin and pale young man, locked in a solid gold cage, his eyes so calm that it makes people palpitate.
The host shouted: "No. 0, The starting price is 100 million."
Gu Linshen stared intently at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the stage. The wine glass in his hand was crushed to pieces, and blood mixed with red wine soaked into his sleeves.
And Shen Muzhi on the stage, across the hustle and bustle of the hall, glanced at him lightly, as if looking at a stranger.
Purpose: Even if we are in darkness, we must pursue light and self-salvation.
