Xia Houzhe thought he couldn't avoid meeting Chu Ze, but he didn't expect him to arrive so quickly. Seeing Chu Ze, who appeared even more frail and thin as a sheet, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
When they were children, Chu Ze was tormented by medicine, and wasn't it the same for him in his pursuit of becoming perfect for Chu Ze?
He was two years older than Chu Ze. To suppress his growth, he continuously took those bitter and peculiar medicines to make himself appear younger. Under the hands of the peculiar people brought by Mr. Ning, his facial bones were forcibly shattered and reshaped, a pain that was unimaginable to others.
He lived like a trapped beast in the Shang family and wondered if he wasn't the same. Day after day of learning and heeding instructions, he had to pretend to be a filial son in front of Princess Consort Ji. Sometimes he even believed he was truly Chu Ze.
