After Faking My Death, I Forgave the Whole World

Ning Shu was lucky. He left his mountain village, went to school, and found work, all with the Gu family's support.

The Gu family asked only one thing of him: to be grateful and take good care of their eldest son, Gu Sinian.

Even as nothing more than Gu Sinian's sidekick, Ning Shu was the envy of others. Some mocked and sneered at him, while others took advantage of him or fawned on him. Ning Shu never lost his temper over any of it. He believed that if he had agreed to do something, he should see it through.

For more than a decade, he worked tirelessly and loyally, indulging every one of Gu Sinian's bad habits.

It wasn't until Ning Shu heard from someone else that the superstar Gu Sinian was getting married that the two parted on bad terms and went their separate ways.

Gu Sinian: Give it three days. He'll realize that without me, he's nothing.

Three days later, Ning Shu hadn't come back.

Gu Sinian could still sit tight.

A month later, Ning Shu still hadn't returned.

Gu Sinian merely sent someone to look for him.

Gu Sinian: I just want to know whether he's dead.

So the next time Gu Sinian heard anyone mention Ning Shu, they told him Ning Shu was dead.

Gu Sinian refused to believe it.

But the ever-gracious, capable young master of a wealthy family and musical prodigy, Gu Sinian, suddenly became volatile. Scandal after scandal followed, until he had no choice but to retreat from the spotlight and announce the end of the young master's musical dream, vanishing from public view.

By chance, Gu Sinian met someone who looked remarkably like Ning Shu. He hurried after him, and the man said, "Ning Shu? I know him. He's my older brother. He's been dead for three years."

Gu Sinian didn't believe him, but the man led him to a dilapidated gravestone.

The man said, "It's just a marker. His ashes were scattered in the river, as he wished."

From then on, the world had one more heartbroken man who'd lost his mind.

Later, while helping Ning Xi plan his wedding, Gu Sinian suddenly noticed a familiar-looking tattoo on Ning Xi.

Ning Xi casually brushed him off. "My brother had one, so I got the same tattoo."

Ning Shu: After I died, everything that happened before was settled. I let it all go. I forgive you.

Gu Sinian: But you're still alive!

Ning Shu: What does my life have to do with yours, Ning Xi?

Gu Sinian: TAT

[Highlights: There are misunderstandings, but the pursuing gong is a scumbag, a scumbag, a scumbag!]

[After faking his death, Ning Shu falls in love seriously. His heart isn't dead, and he still loves this world and wants to live well. Forgiving them means he won't be held back by the past anymore. It doesn't mean the people who hurt him were right.]

[This has all the problems of old-school web novels. If something happens, blame the pursuing gong. If nothing happens, find fault with him anyway. It's all his fault.]

Theme: Respect and cherish the love and care others give you.
