He had always known he was a bastard, that there really wasn't room in his eyes for anyone else. If someone provoked him, he'd take his vengeance a hundredfold. He had always thought that he had been the best to Gu Lanshan, but he never imagined that he was actually the worst to her!
Her experiences were different from theirs. They were the true favored sons of heaven, whereas she... was nothing more than an adopted daughter, bought and brought into the family. She might look like a pampered princess, but in truth, her confidence was worlds apart from theirs, as distant as if separated by a thousand mountains and rivers.
Emotions surged from the depths of Sheng Shi's heart—irritation, regret, heartache—like waves crashing over him, one after another, until finally, he felt as if he had lost all his strength; he couldn't carry Gu Lanshan, nor could he continue to walk.
His heart felt as if it had been viciously torn in half, particularly painful.
