[The premise is unchanged; the blurb is being revised]
*Rong Rong was born into a powerful Federation family and should have been surrounded by stars, but everyone hated him.
He was nothing like his eldest brother, an A+ guide who was clever and composed, able to move among sentinels and secure benefits for the family. He was the pride of the Rong family.
He was nothing like his younger brother, an A-grade sentinel whose outstanding physical ability had kept him in the top ten at the academy since childhood. He was the future of the Rong family.
With two children of the highest caliber, the Rong family shone brilliantly and had a bright future. But none of it had anything to do with Rong Rong.
Because he was just an ordinary person.
In his brief seventeen years, Rong Rong worked hard at his studies, struggled to adapt to the socializing he disliked, and tried to please others, all just to earn the tiniest bit of love.
But his father ignored him and only ever mentioned his two exceptional children in public.
His mother despised him and was ashamed to have given birth to him.
His eldest brother mocked him, saying that despite having a pretty face, no amount of effort could change the fact that he was an ordinary person with no talent.
His younger brother looked down on him, sweeping the food Rong Rong had cooked onto the floor. When he saw others bully Rong Rong, he only thought him pathetic and walked away.
Rong Rong was born into wealth, yet lived in misery. The family's honor had nothing to do with him. Worse, he cast a shadow over it. That was his original sin.
Even when he finally awakened as a guide, he was still discarded without a second thought.
No matter how helpless, afraid, or miserable he felt, he could only board that deadly starship.
After they squeezed every last bit of value out of him, Rong Rong was abandoned for good.
*The Expeditionary Army's reputation was legendary. They were ruthless and formidable, turning the border into an impenetrable fortress. But no guide was willing to join them.
Everyone knew that the Expeditionary Army was full of lunatics from top to bottom.
After a battle, Qin Fan, the Expeditionary Army's commander and a dark sentinel, suffered a collapse of his mental landscape. The Expeditionary Army demanded that the White Tower send a guide to treat their commander.
Who would be willing to send a precious guide to some godforsaken borderland, especially one controlled by the Expeditionary Army? Who knew what kind of torture they would face?
But the Expeditionary Army sent someone over directly. It was downright thuggish.
After a storm of trouble, the position ultimately fell to the Rong family. Rong Rong's parents were devastated. Of course they couldn't bear to send their eldest son away. Luckily, Rong Rong awakened as a low-grade guide just then.
As they sent the unconscious Rong Rong aboard the starship, the Rong family sincerely offered him a blessing for the first time: May the enraged Expeditionary Army not tear him to pieces for being so weak.
*The Expeditionary Army wanted a capable, talented high-grade guide, but Rong Rong was just a poor substitute.
He thought he would once again face looks of disdain and rejection, then be dragged before the Expeditionary Army's commander to be dealt with.
Maybe he'd be thrown away like garbage again. The difference was that this time he might lose his life.
But his life had never been all that precious anyway. If he lost it, so be it.
With his heart turned to ashes, Rong Rong was brought before the commander, whose fearsome reputation preceded him. What happened next was the complete opposite of what he'd imagined.
The commander not only refrained from taking his anger out on Rong Rong, but also sent him to finish his education and arranged training for him. He even made friends here...
His happy life was only just beginning.
