The Sickly Villain Only Wants to Survive

"Quick, call the doctor! The young master is coughing up blood again!"

"Bring the mouthwash!"

"Change all the bed linens!"

"Where's the alcohol disinfectant?"

"Get the air purifier..."

In a villa in Xuancheng East District, the servants are bustling about early in the morning under the butler's direction.

The commotion in one bedroom creates chaos throughout the entire villa.

The source of the disturbance is a pale, sickly-looking young man.

He has slightly long hair and light-colored eyes; his delicate features display a languid aura due to his lack of vitality. Dressed in pajamas that resemble a patient's gown, he leans against the headboard, trying to regulate his breathing, which is slightly disturbed from coughing.

The servants leave the room one after another, but a few people remain around the bed.

Zhu Tong lifts his eyelids and looks at those gathered at his bedside.

His father, his stepmother who married his father after his real mother's death, and a slightly older half-brother brought by his stepmother are present.

She treats the servants generously and cares for Zhu Tong and his sister; over the years, they have shown no signs of their true intentions.

Did you think they wanted to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere?

They only seek something greater.

After Zhu Tong's death, Qin Junhong would take advantage of the situation, playing the role of the elder brother beside Zhu Tong's twin sister, ultimately drugging her and turning their relationship intimate.

Zhu Tong: "..."

His fists clenched.

He shot a cold glance at Qin Junhong, then looked down, saying, "I've already died once."

Zhu Shoushan: "..."

Suddenly stumped.

The memory of the doctor delivering the critical illness notice just a couple of nights prior is still fresh.

Seeing that Zhu Shoushan was moved, Zhu Tong seized the moment, "In my life, I have only two regrets. One is regarding my maternal grandfather. He had only one daughter, my mother, who passed away before she could repay him. Now I..."
