Synopsis:
Chen Zui was a distant relative of the Pei family, young, low in the family hierarchy, and dirt poor.
When his "great-aunt" was surrounded by thugs, how could he not step in?
He drove them off in a few quick moves, but Chen Zui was injured in the process. With blood running down his face, he looked like a demon.
The young masters arrived too late to come to her rescue, then pointed at him with ill intent. "Who is that?"
"Nobody," Pei Jiayin said with disgust, wiping her precious fingers raw after getting blood on them. "Just a poor relative who keeps coming around to freeload."

Three years was all it took for things to change.
Rumor had it that the Pei family in the east of the city had fallen on hard times, and that the eldest Pei daughter, who studied the harp, was too poor to pay her tuition.
On a rainy night, Pei Jiayin stood drenched at the entrance to the Chen Family Martial Arts School, biting her lip as she looked at Chen Zui.
Chen Zui blocked the door. "Who are you?"
"A poor relative who came to freeload."
"I can't afford to support you. I'm not taking you in."
"I can play the piano. I can earn money."
"There's only one bed here. We can't both sleep in it."
"Then... could we squeeze together?"
Chen Zui paused, cigarette between his fingers, and glanced at her thin clothes, soaked through. "Are you sure about this?"
Pei Jiayin turned around in a panic. "Forget it, I'd better..."
He pulled her inside.
