Heaven and Earth are separated by the Almsgiving Society
This was a brutal killing carried out with malicious intent and revenge.
In order to avenge her brother's death, Shengxi enters a prestigious academy to find out the truth behind his brother's death.
At first, because of a lot of unsubstantiated so-called "evidence", Shengxi mistakenly believed that her brother's death was related to the four most powerful young masters in the academy, the families behind F4.
Furthermore, Shengxi witnessed various despicable habits of the nobility and their arrogant attitude of looking down on others while at the academy.
He developed a deep hatred for the nobility, constantly opposed F4, and became a leader of the common people who rebelled against the powerful.
However, during his interactions with F4, he discovered that nobles weren't actually that bad.
As one of the most powerful families in Shilan, the four major families are separate from the government and never collect a single penny of tax from ordinary people.
Moreover, they have provided much assistance to ordinary people's lives: for example, they have made important contributions to disaster relief and people's livelihood issues, supplementing the government's efforts.
Once, Shilan was colonized and enslaved by the empire. It was the four major families who recruited soldiers and horses, risked their lives, and took the lead in driving the colonizers out of the country and declaring independence.
After the war, Shilan was in dire need of reconstruction, and it was the four major families who funded its rebuilding.
All the money of the four major families was earned by themselves, and their expenses were all paid from their own coffers.
Sometimes, the government's tax revenue was insufficient, and the four major families had to subsidize the government to maintain social order.
The government is weak, powerless, and incompetent.
The construction of bridges and roads, the construction of every park, and the construction of every sluice gate all relied on the financial support of the four major families.
The people trust the four major families more than the government.
The Schell family, owners of F1 driver Chloe, provide free, high-tech vaccines to the general public. These vaccines are backed by a research institute funded by the world's most renowned Schell family, and are much purer and have fewer side effects than vaccines provided by other countries.
The Frederick family and the Hetti royal family of F2 Lushviga, with their princesses and princes, bring countless tourists and benefit ordinary merchants.
In addition, they love the people like their own children, personally visiting disaster victims after various disasters, bringing various gifts to visit the tents where the victims live, taking photos with the victims, and providing spiritual strength to those displaced by disasters.
The royal princess folded jar after jar of paper stars, which she burned for disaster victims during a post-disaster reconstruction program as a form of prayer.
Royal family members are sure to be present at the opening events of the year.
The royal family is a source of spiritual support for the people of Silam.
F3 Aru's Fido family is well-versed in overseas trade and is one of the world's leading multinational corporations.
Their group is involved in multiple industries and has countless well-known brands.
The most famous of these are the jewelry and luxury goods industries.
Large quantities of rough gemstones are "wholesale" from underdeveloped regions at rock-bottom prices, then, after being designed, processed, and marketed by the world's best jewelry designers, are auctioned off for astronomical prices.
They also deal in luxury goods, exaggerating their value and selling ordinary fabrics for astronomical sums—truly unscrupulous merchants.
By engaging in the most profitable industries, they earn a large trade surplus, causing the value of the Sri Lankan currency, the Sri Lankan pataca, to appreciate. This allows ordinary Sri Lankans to enjoy the labor of ordinary people from other countries at low prices in international trade, and also to experience the thrill of being a lord and a superior person.
The Anubis family of F4 Chessia are the guardians of Shilan's safety, cleaning up the mess of the terrible social order under government administration.
The government is a sanctimonious leftist who wants to abolish the death penalty and make criminals live as comfortably as if they were in heaven.
They even considered installing televisions in the prison cells.
The Anubis family is not.
Their ruthless methods instilled fear in all criminals, deterring them from crossing the line.
Without them, ordinary people would live every day amidst a hail of bullets from homeless people and those seeking revenge against society.
Thanks to them, ordinary people can safely go to work and school without worrying about being raped and murdered by someone who suddenly appears.
Ordinary people who have unresolved conflicts, such as domestic violence, unpaid debts, rumors spread by ex-boyfriends, or uploading pornographic videos of ex-girlfriends as retaliation, can write to the Anubis family or call the hotline.
The Anubis family would send someone to handle it at eight o'clock the next morning.
The handling method was swift and decisive:
For domestic violence, hang the victim up and beat them even more severely. Beat them until they're lying on the floor looking for their mother.
If someone owes me money and doesn't pay, we'll enforce the judgment against them. We'll strip them down to their underwear, and they'll still have to pay me back.
He enjoys uploading other people's pornographic videos, hoping to become a gay porn star himself and indulge in the thrill of physical intimacy.
It's much more effective than relying on government officials to smooth things over.
And what about the nobility?
In Shengxi's view, although some of them did indeed have various bad habits of extravagance and debauchery, these were all remnants of the feudal system.
They themselves possess unyielding integrity and moral character.
Many of them, because they uphold their aristocratic pride and refuse to engage in gray-area industries that skirt the edges of morality, live even more pitifully in this money-driven world than nouveau riche without titles.
On the contrary, it is the lowly commoner merchants who, because of their poverty since childhood, have even less of a bottom line, selling inferior goods and even some food and medicine that can harm people's lives.
In Shengxi's view:
Among the nobility, there are many good people who value their reputation and frequently participate in charitable activities. Among the common people, there are also many wicked people who spare no effort to harm those at the bottom in order to climb the social ladder.
Can a person's goodness or badness really be distinguished by class?
After his views on the nobility changed, Shengxi discovered that the truth about his brother's death was completely different from what he had imagined, even subversive, shattering his worldview and the beliefs that had always supported him.
It turns out that the brother's death had nothing to do with F4. Not only that, it was also related to the impoverished people he had been protecting and helping.
The organization that killed my brother was a commoner group called the "Heavenly Society for the Divided and the Aided." The reason this organization killed my brother was simply to frame the nobles, incite conflict between the nobles and commoners, and get the incited commoners to turn against the nobles, so that they could reap the benefits.
Originally, the Heaven for All was founded by a kind-hearted aristocratic girl named Lucy Lillian Maria as a non-profit website to help marginalized and vulnerable groups seek redress and assistance. The website's name signifies that if everyone helps and supports one another, the world will become as beautiful as heaven.
Ironically, after Lucy established this wonderful website, sheltering many "refugees" and "people from the bottom of society" who had nowhere to go in reality, those who gathered on the website and complained every day began to direct their hatred towards the website's founder:
Didn't you say that we should help each other and provide relief together? Why don't you help us when we are suffering so much?
Soon, malice towards Lucy proliferated on the website like bacteria. As public opinion brewed and hostility accumulated, a terrifying argument emerged: Lucy, as a noblewoman, was inherently guilty. Therefore, whatever others did to her was justified.
The price she paid for simply creating this website is far from enough. She should pay much more to repay the fertile land they originally possessed, which was then plundered.
So they started opening Lucy's box.
Lucy, sensing the website users' malice, immediately stopped all her updates on social media, deleted all her accounts, and was escorted by bodyguards overnight to try to move to a safe place abroad.
However, it was too late. Because Lucy had previously done charity work, participated in volunteer activities where she worked for free, and had also exposed some personal information in order to better help the underprivileged.
So those who were separated by heaven and earth quickly found her.
As soon as they found her, they began to vent their anger, taking out all the malice they had suffered in life on this kind and warm-hearted girl.
When Lucy was finally taken to the hospital, her beautiful face had been slashed more than a dozen times, her bright blue eyes were swollen shut, her once sweet voice had been poisoned and rendered hoarse, and her legs had been cut off, leaving her completely disabled.
The lark who dreamed of becoming a singer stopped singing.
Beginning with the fall of a beautiful young girl, heaven and earth are separated, and a new terrorist force rises.
Its doctrine is that the existence of vested interests makes equality for all impossible. We must take radical measures to defend the beautiful world of equality for all.
Those who are more beautiful than us, we will ruin their beauty; those who are richer than us, we will destroy their wealth; those who are taller than us, we will cut off their legs, so that they may never stand again and never look down upon us.
Any advantage someone else has can become a reason for their persecution. Everyone must deeply repent for their own good fortune compared to others, even if it is only a tiny bit, and pay the price.
Unless they buy indulgences—
The beautiful must provide them with fresh flesh free of charge; the rich must devoutly offer them money; those who have value must sell their labor to them free of charge to offset the sins brought about by the advantages they were born with, thus achieving "freedom of life".
Otherwise, what awaits them is the misfortune of being ruined and rendered useless.
You've been born with so much, what's wrong with sharing some with me?
Initially, the Heavenly Society gained a large following among ordinary people with its slogan of "tearing this unjust world to shreds".
However, in reality, this was just a celebration of a bunch of ungrateful, cowardly, and treacherous rats.
Among the nobility, those who had shown kindness and helped them were cruelly murdered or crippled.
Among ordinary people, those who have worked hard and are doing better than them are maliciously slandered and defamed, and their addresses are even found and their families are killed.
Those netizens who were not as radical as them and did not approve of their actions, but expressed their opinions online, were also contacted by them, reported, and lost their jobs.
