Yuxin never asked for a perfect life. Even the tiniest part of an old bread to stop her stomach for growling was enough for her. Enough to give her energy to continue living for a day, or two. Enough for her to fulfill her duties and chores that is given to her everyday, nonstop.
She always tried but her name will never changed, at least thats what she was told. The nickname that will eventually stick to her till the day she died, till the day her body buried in Xilanova's soil; the country that have prosperous land. And probably even on her gravestone, those name will always be there for her.
'The cursed child'. Her dad Jiangbin, was the one who named her that.
The male figure that slammed her door everyday, that ordered her to do all the housework and tend the farm till the dawn came.
Her life's miserable, but she can't do anything about it.
Ever since that day she lived for one sole purpose, to save the life of Jiangbin's beloved ones, his wife. Yuxin was even brought from a small town, Xilia, handpicked with a lot of effort and lab test.
She has one purpose, to give his wife a bone marrow transplant that his wife desperately needs in order to survive.
It wasn't Yuxin that Jiangbin needs, its solely her bone marrow. Only that. But Yuxin would never consented to all of that. if only her parents, her real bloodline parents had not gone bankrupt and ended up having huge debt to Jiangbin , she will not be here.
Everyday was so hard for her, the demand from Jiangbin to make sure she is able to give the best for his wife, was always too much.
Jiangbin wasn't as cold as he is now, but since that day happened, it is as if Yuxin was reborn as the cursed child.
The reason is because Yuxin body weight was not enough to classified herself as a donor. So Jiangbin fed her with all the things he could find in his farm and even from the food market to boost Yuxin's weight.
Yuxin was only there for a week, but it feels like hell, even worst when the news brought up that his wife had passed away on the 6th day of her arrival.
Not able to cope with the dead, Jiangbin put all the blame onto Yuxin. Had she have the perfect weight, his wife could still live. Had Yuxin stuffed her body with more foods his wife could survive. The cursed child who only come to the family for a week, its as if he exchange his wife's life with a mere low citizen like Yuxin. A bad replacement for his beloved wife.
Jiangbin was feeling so remorse, he should've not put Yuxin in his family register. He thought his wife probably needed Yuxin bone marrow again so he do whatever it takes to keep Yuxin's close in which he register Yuxin as his own family. He was furious that he ended up enslaved her, for his own benefits.
Yuxin couldn't run away, cause Jiangbin hold a special card, her parents life was on Jiangbin and his empire's hand. So all she could do was to live fulfilling the demand of Jiangbin.

"Hey, wake up!" the old lady shake Yuxin's body, hard enough to wake her up. Yuxin was still rubbing her tired eyes as the old lady speaks, "Master has summoned you."
Yuxin body quickly react as she quickly stands up, use her coat, and walk into his study room.
He taps his chin over and over again as he sees Yuxin, contemplating what to do with the woman who stood in front of him with her head low to the ground.
"Look at me, child" he orders, his voice was stern like always.
She gulp her own saliva as she lift her head up to see his face, 'what is it again this time' she wonder
