That morning, a heavy snow fell, with large, fluffy snowflakes drifting down.
Ahri could no longer hold on and collapsed outside a very luxurious high-rise building, from which the scent of rouge still wafted.
A gentle and graceful woman, holding the hand of a five- or six-year-old boy, walked over gracefully. Her gaze fell on Ali, and her voice was as gentle and soft as the rain in Jiangnan, "Girl, are you alright? Get up quickly, don't sleep here."
The woman wanted to help Ahri up with the little boy so they could take her away from there.
However, at that moment, a group of people rushed out of the building. They surrounded Ah Li, as well as the gentle woman and the boy she was holding hands with.
One of the middle-aged women, dressed in a flamboyant manner, scrutinized Ah Li with sharp eyes, her voice shrill and grating: "Ru Jun, what are you trying to do?"
"Mother."
Junru looked at the madam, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.
She looked at Ahri, who was delirious. Her once stunning face was now as pale as paper. She knew she couldn't get her away from here.
The brothel madam walked up to Ah Li, raised her hand and pinched Ah Li's chin, "Looking so down on her luck, I didn't expect her to be so good-looking."
Ahri glanced at the madam, and finally seemed unable to hold on any longer, fainting in the arms of the woman who was supporting her.
The madam wanted someone to take Ah Li back to the building, but Ah Li held tightly to Jun Ru and wouldn't let go.
The madam had no choice but to let Junru go back to the building with her, and even had someone help support Ah Li.
Junru called out to the boy to follow, but Ah Li held her waist tightly, and she sighed helplessly.
The building in front of me is called Zangxianglou, a brothel, a place of pleasure.
The building was filled with the fragrance of perfume. As night fell and the lights flickered, songs drifted through the air and dancers swayed gracefully. The smiles of the beautiful women were as dazzling as fireworks, yet sometimes so fleeting as to break one's heart.
Zangxianglou is a place full of desires and temptations. Here, many people temporarily forget the troubles of the world and immerse themselves in the wonderful world of singing and dancing.
When Ahri regained consciousness, the original owner of the body appeared before her eyes.
The original owner shouted with resentment, "Did you see that? Did you see that? It was this woman, and her son, who dragged me into this terrible place!"
Ah Li was confused. "You mean, Junru dragged you into this?"
Just now, Junru wanted to take her away, but the madam suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
The original owner screamed shrilly, "If it wasn't her, who else could it be! She was unlucky in love, believing in so-called true love in this bustling place, and even had a child with someone! Now that she's old and faded and nobody wants her, she's set her sights on me! She's a vicious woman! A vicious woman who harmed me!"
At that time, the original owner was brought into the building. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't. The madam locked her up and didn't give her food, trying to make her obey.
Junru would secretly bring her food and make her agree to save her life first, and then they could discuss the rest later.
Later, she resigned herself to her fate, saying that she was wrong and that she was willing to follow the madam's arrangements.
The madam was delighted and spent ten years cultivating her into the most famous courtesan in the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion.
For the past ten years, Junru has remained in the building. Because she has a child, fewer people are looking for her. In order to wait for that man, she has not bothered to dress up and has always dressed very simply.
However, when the original owner was put on a red card, someone bid the highest price to have her virginity taken.
The man who took the picture of the original owner was a sadist; he tormented her all night.
Once the original owner was able to get up and leave the room, she saw Junru accepting money from the madam. The madam even said, "If you hadn't brought that person into the brothel, this person wouldn't have given me so much money."
Hearing this, the original owner felt hatred! She thought about how she had wanted to die back then, but Junru persuaded her to agree first, only to find that this person was in cahoots with the madam!
Why! Why did this person treat her like this! Why did they deceive her like this! Why did they lie to her!
The original owner launched a series of revenge attacks against Junru, and she had people deliberately bully Junru's child, Jun Linhe.
Because Junru is beautiful, Jun Linhe is also very handsome; he is an extremely beautiful boy.
Many people in the building had seen him before and knew he had a head of thick, black, flowing hair that hung naturally straight down. His eyebrows were long and curved, like willow leaves. His lips were thin and slightly pursed, both reserved and alluring. His face was sharply defined, and his posture was very upright, like a thousand-year-old jade tree.
He was only sixteen years old, which makes one imagine how brilliant he would be when he grew up.
Whenever the girls in the building saw him, they couldn't help but want to go up and chat with him, wanting to use the gentlest words to tease this boy who seemed to have stepped out of a painting.
Junru always kept him indoors to read, not letting him come out, because she was worried that his appearance might cause trouble.
However, the original owner deliberately tricked him into coming out and even let him meet several men who were into homosexuality.
Jun Linhe ran back into the house, and the men barged in...
When Junru found out, she was in trouble herself; she was being targeted by the customers who had always liked her.
Because the original owner told them, "Don't be fooled by her simple appearance now. As long as she has money, she can have many affairs with you."
On that day, neither Junru nor Jun Linhe could protect themselves and both suffered inhuman treatment.
Ah Li looked at the unbearable scene before her, her gaze turning cold as she asked the original owner, "Why don't you ask Junru why the madam gave her money, and why she accepted it?"
The original owner shouted with intense hatred, "That was the money I got from selling my virginity!"
With a wave of her hand, Ah Li appeared before her and the original owner of the body, along with the madam, Junru, and a very handsome man. He brought money to redeem Junru from her servitude and to take back his and Junru's child.
The madam was asking for exorbitant prices, and the handsome young man didn't have enough money, so he went to raise more, but he also left a considerable amount behind.
Knowing she couldn't keep Junru, the madam did Junru a favor by giving her some of the money the man had brought, saying, "Don't blame me, madam, I'm just testing this man for you."
Junru looked at the money in her hand, her heart filled with mixed feelings, unable to calm down for a long time. Finally, the man came back to pick her and her child up.
The madam pulled her aside and said, "If you hadn't brought him into the building, he wouldn't have given me so much money."
The handsome man was the son of a wealthy merchant. That winter, he was traveling without a servant and was robbed by bandits. Hungry and cold, he collapsed in front of the Cangxiang Tower in the snow and met Junru.
