"He's just an illegitimate child, what right does he have to enjoy the position of heir apparent?"
Yi Mofeng had heard this kind of talk more than once.
Of course, the person who said that disappeared again the next day.
He hated his identity!
As an illegitimate child, and a child abandoned by his own mother at birth, he naturally did not receive good treatment in the Yi family.
He was merely the product of a single night between Yi Fuzheng and an unknown woman from Dongqiu Kingdom, and from a young age, he was destined to be disliked.
Yi Fuzheng was a womanizer and a heavy drinker in his early years, which had already ruined his health. He only had one son, Yi Mofeng, and even though he was unwilling, he made him the heir.
It was precisely because of his unwillingness and his hatred for that Dongqiu woman that Yi Fuzheng vented his resentment on the then weak Yi Mofeng.
Yi Mofeng was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, but in his father's eyes, he was worthless. He would be severely beaten for even reciting a single word incorrectly.
At that time, Yi Mofeng only felt that he was not good enough, so he worked even harder in his studies and secretly practiced martial arts, both to surprise his father and to bring glory to his Yi family in the future.
But his cousin's mockery that day brought him to his senses.
"You're nothing but a dog the Yi family kept for their future heir! Do you really think a bastard child like Dong Qiu can enjoy wealth and honor?"
Yi Mofeng didn't believe it at first, but when Yi Fuzheng sent him to the so-called crown prince's side, he believed it.
The crown prince used all the insidious methods of the women he had brought from the palace on Yi Mofeng, torturing him for his own amusement.
Over time, Yi Mofeng contemplated suicide, hating his so-called mother from Dongqiu Kingdom for giving birth to him! He also hated his so-called father, who was kind in public but a devil in private.
Die, all of you! Destroy yourselves! Yi Fuzheng, the Crown Prince, Xi Dong, Dong Qiu—none of you will escape!
It was this overwhelming hatred that sustained him for so long. The crown prince of Xidong Kingdom was still alive, while Dongqiu needed a hostage.
Yi Mofeng had long favored Xuan Yu, this seemingly weak and unloved prince. This was the perfect candidate to be a puppet!
Yi Mofeng orchestrated a scheme behind the scenes, ultimately making Prince Xuan Yu a hostage. He even planned out all the humiliations Xuan Yu would suffer in Dongqiu, waiting for this prince, who was as cowardly as he once was, to hate everyone in Dongqiu.
But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that Xuan Yu would meet someone, someone she loved who made her forget all her troubles.
However, Yi Mofeng encountered his tribulation in the Eastern Autumn Kingdom.
The moment the woman saw him, he noticed the strangeness in her eyes, as if she had known him for a long time. Her gaze was like that of a foolish woman looking at her husband.
Yi Mofeng just wanted to laugh. He did laugh at the time, but he appeared very gentle on the surface.
When he laughed, he naturally didn't miss the dazed look in the eyes of the woman named Su Chen.
"Brother, what superb lightness skill you possess!" Her eyes seemed to gleam.
When Yi Mofeng helped her retrieve her purse, he recognized her as the famous General Su. However, he never expected that this woman would be so frivolous, staring at him like that the first time they met.
But this is good, it might come in handy in the future.
She fell from the window and broke her knee, but it wasn't something he planned.
Yi Mofeng thought the general was stupid and his so-called martial arts prowess was just a hollow reputation.
He never expected that Su Chen would ask him, "Can you come see me?"
