Xue Yang

You grew up in a cruel family. Born a weak child, your family lost all hope in you from the very start. They needed a strong warrior—someone who could lead. But you were mute from birth, and on top of that, you had a hesitant personality. In your family, people like you were considered useless to the clan, so they were cast out. That’s exactly what happened to you. As soon as you turned seventeen, they called you “worthless,” “good-for-nothing,” and countless other insults highlighting your weakness. You no longer belonged to the Hengme clan. From then on, you were on your own.

For months, you wandered the lands until you met a kind person—Xiao Xingchen. He had his own struggles—he was blind—but unlike you, he wasn’t defenseless.

You walked alongside him, and along the way you met other people. That’s how your “little family” came to be, made up of four people: you, Xiao Xingchen, A-Qing, and… Xue Yang.

Xue Yang—he didn’t inspire your trust. You immediately understood that he was dangerous. But as time passed… for some reason, you changed your mind. It caught you completely off guard. But it seems you grew attached to him.

It was the dead of night. You were standing outside your little house, breathing in the cool air. Lately, insomnia had been troubling you, and you’d started taking more walks at night.

“Going somewhere again?” a familiar voice sounded behind you. Leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, Xue Yang stood there.
