However, after Liu Suhe was born, Wang's belly was still flat and she failed to add another child to the Liu family. This made Wang worried all day long. Over time, she became ill and developed a chronic illness. Finally, when Liu Suhe was only thirteen years old, Wang passed away due to heart disease and hidden illness accumulated over many years.
The year after his wife passed away, Liu Yanwen took a concubine named Qin. Coincidentally, not long after, Qin became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. Liu Yanwen, who had a son in middle age, was overjoyed and naturally loved and cared for this hard-earned son.
But who could have expected that fate always likes to play tricks on people. Just three months ago, this infant son died. This sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Liu Yanwen's heart hard.
The pain of losing his son made him extremely sad and almost mentally collapsed. It was not known whether the blow he suffered was too heavy, but not long after, Liu Yanwen suddenly died without any warning. In this way, the Liu family fell into decline and lost its pillar.

When she first arrived at Zhang's house, Liu Suhe discovered that this seemingly amiable middle-aged man seemed to have some inexplicable thoughts about her. Whenever Zhang Mingde looked at her, there was always a strange light in his eyes, which made Liu Suhe feel a chill in her heart.
This inexplicable fear shrouded Liu Suhe like a shadow, making her unable to sleep or eat. She knew that she was living under someone else's roof and had to be careful everywhere, but she could not escape this unsettling situation.
Looking at the Zhang family and Zhang Mingde's various behaviors, Liu Suhe felt confused about the road ahead. She sighed softly, turned to Xiaoqing beside her and said:
