Ye Lansheng's life went smoothly until he was twenty-three.
As the eldest young master of the Ye family, he had been at the top of the pyramid since birth, with endless resources and money at his disposal.
He was handsome and flamboyant, and everyone around him fawned over him. This made him spoiled and domineering: whatever he wanted, he had to have.
At eighteen, he set his sights on someone and used every means at his disposal to keep him by his side.
To win this person's love, he curbed his temper and endured the hardships of living abroad, flying thousands of kilometers to visit him every month without fail.
He thought this would change the man's opinion of him, and that he would gradually accept him and fall in love with him. But even when Ye lost everything, the man never showed him the slightest affection.
At twenty-three, Ye Lansheng went from being the lofty young master of the Ye family to becoming the bastard he had once despised most.
Then a scandal involving intimate photos turned him into a laughingstock and a favorite topic of gossip.
The Ye family considered him a disgrace, while the illegitimate younger brother he had once bullied became the Ye family's sole heir.
Everyone who had once fawned over him turned on him and kicked him while he was down. Having lost everything, Ye Lansheng became a bug anyone could trample on...
