[Dark, brooding, beautiful and tragic Jiang Cheng VS gentle childhood sweetheart Liang Wan] [Premium Novel + Historical Romance + Alternate Setting + Reconciliation + Healing + Redemption] After someone declared him a harbinger of disaster, three-year-old Jiang Cheng was sent back to his family's home in Liangzhou. By the time he returned to the estate, what little affection he had once built up had completely faded away, and the household had gained a new young master, pampered by everyone. No one in the family liked him. The only one who treated him with warmth and respect was his delicate, sickly adopted younger brother, who even brought his childhood sweetheart, Liang Wan, to meet him. Yet Jiang Cheng repaid kindness with betrayal: he not only seized the family business, but also forced Liang Wan to marry him. His parents hated him, his wife resented him, and the servants turned against him… Jiang Cheng didn't care. He believed he had plenty of time to win Liang Wan over. Then, one day, his brother Jiang Huai was poisoned in a scheme, and by a cruel twist of fate, the only antidote fell into Jiang Cheng's hands. Faced with his parents' and wife's pleas, Jiang Cheng questioned himself for the first time. After a long dream, he finally came to his senses. Deeply entrenched illness could not be cured, and he had little affection left from his family. At last, he stopped trying to force things. But when he woke again, he saw Liang Wan, her eyes swollen like walnuts, crying pitifully as she clutched his hand and begged him not to leave…
