Jin Wuduan once thought that nothing could be more exhilarating than knowing he was the illegitimate child of the Jin family. But everything that has happened now has completely slapped him in the face.

I was even more excited than when I found out that I was a illegitimate child of the Jin family...

He was reborn.

Underneath is a narrow and somewhat hard bed. The blanket on top of me has been divided in half by the person next to me, with a fist's distance separating us. Jin Wuduan can feel the warmth of his blood flowing beneath his skin.

The warmth that belongs to the living.

The person beside him had their back turned, sleeping soundly.

Jin Wuduan's throat trembled slightly as he closed his eyes and took a breath. Without needing to think much, he already knew who it was.

Sīnián.

The dumb wife, Si Nian, who had been let down by herself for decades, still remained by her side in the end.

In the brief moment when his thoughts gradually became clear, memories from two different lifetimes surged and entangled in his mind, causing Jin Wuduan's temples to throb painfully.

In the fragments of memory, the most frequent occurrence is the bittersweet memories of Siniang from beginning to end.

And the culprit that made him so pathetic is none other than himself.

Time began to reverse, reversing back to the childhood of the previous life.

Jin Wuduan's mother was the top performer in "Heaven on Earth", but she passed away shortly after giving birth to him, leaving behind only a name.

No reason.

It's as if he came to this world without reason, without being expected by anyone.

Jin Wuduan did not know who his father was, he could only guess that his last name was Jin.

Grown up in nightclubs since a young age, this child may not have learned much else, but has certainly learned a lot about the dark and sordid side of life.

Although Jin Wuduan relied on his mother's connections to make a living, that place was not exactly a charitable institution. Since he inherited his mother's beauty from a young age, his mother had planned to groom him to entertain guests.

Unexpectedly, Jin Wuduan, the eldest son of the family, became more unruly as he grew up. Additionally, his once delicate and charming appearance began to change due to the manifestation of his father's genes.

His beauty transformed into handsomeness, as his delicate frame gradually developed, revealing hints of the grace and charisma of adulthood.

Growing up in a chaotic environment, Jin Wuduan was able to handle a wine bottle and pour drinks for people even before reaching adulthood.

The old lady noticed that he was rebellious and that his appearance no longer met the standards of serving customers, so she stopped trying to make him serve customers and instead let him work as a bartender.

I hadn't expected Jin Wuduan to be so audacious, actually daring to sleep with the mistress nurtured by a local tycoon and even getting caught in the act.

Although the old lady apologized on his behalf, cleaned up the mess, and even compensated as a way of making amends, she still didn't have the guts to keep him around. She gave him some money and sent him on his way.

When Jin Wuduan was kicked out, he was only eighteen years old, just reached adulthood. Besides a handsome face and a pair of powerful fists, he had no other skills.

He couldn't even recognize all the words on the bus stop sign. He spent the money given to him by his mother carelessly, and ended up in a distressed state where he couldn't even afford to eat enough.

Jin Wuduan initially went to the school gate to deceive young girls to earn a living, but he had nowhere to live. It was already winter at that time, and with no other options, he even entertained the idea of committing robbery.

In the end, perhaps due to clear thinking, knowing that this is a society ruled by law, Jin Wuduan didn't want to freeze to death, nor did he want to go to jail. Just when he was idling away his days, he happened to encounter Sinian, who was selling grilled skewers on the street.

Three dollars each, five dollars for two.

Jin Wuduan bought a skewer for three yuan, and also bought Si Nian's lifetime.

A mute person, with an average appearance, what piqued Jin Wuduan's interest was his hermaphroditic body.

It was all just for fun, but I never expected that he would become pregnant.

The bond between father and son is nothing but a temporary impulse, much like him being a dispensable illegitimate child in the Jin family.

Returning to the Jin family, during those years of insufficient ambition and vicious power struggles, Siniang had always been by his side. Due to the past bond of hospitality, Jin Wuduan did not drive him away, but rather kept him as a plaything.

Later, when the Jin family learned about the child who was not supposed to come into this world, Jin Wuduan, under pressure, was compelled to marry Sinian.

At this point, Siniang and the child who had never received a proper glance from him became Jin Wuduan's...

The person I hated.

In the decades-long conflict within the Jin family, Jin Wuduan became increasingly despondent. Impulsively, he sought trouble with the eldest legitimate son of the Jin family, only to be mercilessly beaten by his own father.

In that moment, Jin Wuduan finally realized that the mantle of power in the Jin family had long been passed into the hands of his eldest brother. His only purpose for existing was to restrain his second brother.

A private child just like him.

Similarly...

Sad person.

The paragraph translates to: 'With a multitude of past experiences, a cycle of cause and effect, Jin Wuduan had no choice but to endure it all. However, Siniann consistently chose to stay by his side...'

To death.

It is laughable that Jin Wuduan abandoned his wife and children without cause, committing all sorts of wrongdoings. However, in the end, there was still someone by his side, preventing him from ending up in a state of loneliness and abandonment.

The past years were too long! Too bitter! Jin Wuduan didn't want to think about it.

He took a deep breath and reached out to tightly embrace Sī Nián beside him, silently saying, "Si Nian, I'm back. I know I was wrong, and from now on, I will treat you well."
