What I thought was love was actually a cage that imprisoned me. I couldn't break free, and I was no longer able to do so. —Ruan Nian]
—————
"Jun Shitian, look at yourself. You look like a piece of shit, and you dare to call yourself my brother."
The tiny pink child, wearing a fitted, gorgeous little dress, sarcastically addressed the slightly older child following behind her.
The child named Jun Shitian was dressed casually and looked just like the servants who walked by from time to time.
"Brother, I..." Before the child could finish his words, he was cursed by the little kid.
"Shut up, shut up. Who is my brother? I am the only son my parents have."
After saying this, he still felt unconvinced and kicked, beat and insulted the child behind him. The servants who were passing by stopped and moved away from the two of them.
That year, Jun Shitian was five years old and his younger brother was four years and one month old.
······
"Oh, who told you that the little follower following behind me is my brother? He is just a servant in the family."
The little boy, who had grown up a little, raised his chin and spoke disdainfully to his new friend about his biological brother.
Jun Shitian, who was standing outside the classroom door looking for his brother to take home, had numb pain in his eyes.
I clenched my hands into fists and didn't even notice that I was bleeding.
He just thought sadly that his younger brother, who always gave in to him, actually treated him as a servant.
For the first time, I didn’t listen to my parents and ran home to question them.
"Dad, why does my brother say that?" He is only nine years old this year. Even if he knows how to endure, he can't do it to his relatives.
The Jun family patriarch slapped Jun Shitian twice and cursed him angrily, "He's your brother, whatever he says is what counts, go away and protect him well."
At that moment, Jun Shitian experienced what it meant to have a cold and indifferent heart. Hadn't it always been like this over the years?
He was like an outsider, watching the happiness of their family of three and could only hide in the corner.
······
During the talent test, he kept praying that he must become stronger and stronger.
It seemed that God was still kind to him. He actually had earth spiritual roots. At that moment, the attitude of everyone in the Jun family towards him changed drastically.
Perhaps it was because his mentality was still unstable. After being bullied for so many years, when someone suddenly treated him well, he would let down his guard, causing him to lose everything again in less than three years.
What made him happiest during this period was actually hearing the head of the Jun family say that he had arranged a marriage for him and the eldest daughter of the Ruan family.
He once secretly glanced at the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. She looked like an angel, and her smile warmed his heart.
But happiness is time-limited after all. He was ambushed and became a disabled person.
When he met the girl who was a little angel in his heart at school, he was severely humiliated by her. At that moment, his world collapsed.
The kind little angel I thought of turned out to be just a vicious girl.
He ran out like crazy and somehow ended up in the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, where he saved a ghost.
The other party said that he could help him become stronger, and he agreed without hesitation.
Then he continued to work hard, reshaped his spiritual roots, and embarked on the path of cultivation again.
My character is no longer the same as the person who could endure, compromise and be soft-hearted.
After a few years of experience outside, when he felt he was ready to go back, he set out on his journey home.
He told himself that this time, he would not let go of any of those who had hurt him.
Along the way, he met the beautiful Bai Sufei and the hot Ye Mingyue. He felt great about being in the company of beautiful women.
The first thing he did after returning was to deal with the Jun family. He used his iron-blooded tactics to get the position of the young master of the Jun family.
He imprisoned the three heads of the Jun family, especially his younger brother, and locked him in a small dark room. No one spoke to him, which made him live in panic.
When passing by the garden, he saw a woman, and suddenly he saw the person whose smile warmed his heart.
He approached her deliberately, and then found that she was different from the girl back then. The girl back then was so hypocritical.
And she was so beautiful in front of him, making him feel so comfortable.
After dealing with the affairs of the Jun family, he went to the Ruan family. It was time to pay back for the bullying he had suffered in the past.
However, he wished he could turn back time so that he wouldn't make a decision that would make him regret his whole life.
He originally thought that there would be no one better than the three people around him, but when that fiery red figure appeared, he realized.
It turns out that my heart is not really closed, it can still beat.
Although it is so weak that it seems to be negligible, it does exist.
But what she said always made people angry and thought-provoking.
Whether in the past or now, she clearly told herself that she looked down on him and that he was weak.
He was not convinced. He had already reached the level of a saint, yet she still dared to look down on him.
The desire to conquer quietly emerged and made him unable to resist.
He originally wanted to cancel the engagement, but in the end he was too shameless to do so.
It was because of this that annoyed her that she cursed at herself and said that what she wanted was to be together for the rest of her life, which he could not give her.
What was I thinking at that time? Haha, it’s just a lifelong relationship with a partner, there is nothing he can’t give me.
It turns out that there are some things that really cannot be said, because saying them does not mean that they can be done.
He had decided not to give her a chance to refute and just go out, but it was obvious that she was very angry with him.
I taught myself a severe lesson and lost face again.
But this time he didn't feel angry, because he understood what she said and that he was really weak.
She has every right to be proud and arrogant. She deserves to be held in the palm of someone's hand.
He uttered some harsh words and left in embarrassment.
The truth is always unpredictable. He had just made a promise, but broke it completely in less than three months.
A pair of people for a lifetime. Now thinking about it, it was such a beautiful promise. Unfortunately, the person standing next to you can never be me.
In fact, he had already sensed the appearance of that man, and she had never existed in his world.
When she risked her life to save him, he actually still had a little hope in his heart, wondering if she liked him too.
But they all told him that she was dead, but he didn't believe it. He abandoned the Jun family and became Ruan Nian of the Ruan family.
Everyone said I was crazy. Yes, I was actually crazy. I felt grateful and thought that maybe one day I would open my eyes and see her again.
The wish came true and she did appear.
After all, the two straight lines cannot intersect, and her words are still so cruel, they are from different worlds.
The Ruan Xunmi in the past might have liked him, but not now, because he could never give her what she wanted.
How sad and pitiful it is that even after realizing it was a scam, they were still unwilling to get out of it.
He spent the first half of his life understanding a truth: it’s not that he can’t give, but that he is not firm enough and can’t give.
He did not choose to leave the Ruan family and still used the name Ruan Nian. Perhaps he already knew who Nian was referring to.
When a hundred years passed, he lost all his cultivation. On his deathbed, he left a message for Bai Sufei and Ye Mingyue, who had always stayed by his side but no longer had any hope.
I feel most sorry for you in this life. I hope you won’t meet me again in the next life.
Love is not as good as it was before, not as good as it was before.
