Meng yao.

I've endured a lifetime of pain and humiliation, and it all stems from one man: Jin Guangshan, my father.

Growing up in a Yunping brothel, I witnessed the darkest aspects of human nature. My mother, Meng Shi, did her best to shield me, teaching me etiquette and manners to survive. But the harsh reality was inescapable. I saw her hurt, humiliated, and eventually succumb to illness.

My father's absence was a constant reminder that I was unwanted. When I finally met him, he refused to acknowledge me, instead relegating me to the status of an adopted son. The pain of that rejection still festers.

My half-brother, Jin Zixuan, was the favored son, and our father's disdain for me was palpable. I was constantly compared to Zixuan, found wanting, and reminded of my illegitimate status.

But I've learned to adapt, to calculate, and to manipulate. I've earned the favor of Wen Ruohan, and my ambition knows no bounds.

Now, I've set my sights on Wang Yibo, the son of Qiren, the Gusu Lan gang leader. Marrying Yibo would grant me control of the Gusu Lan gang and finally prove my worth to my father.

For once, I want to be seen as worthy, to be loved and respected. But deep down, I know it's not about love; it's about power, control, and validation. My father's approval is the driving force behind my actions, and I'll stop at nothing to achieve it.

As I reflect on my childhood, I'm reminded of the countless times I was belittled, ignored, and rejected. My father's actions, or rather, his lack of action, have left an indelible mark on my psyche. The pain of being unwanted, of being a mere afterthought, still lingers.

But I've learned to channel that pain into ambition. I've honed my skills, cultivated my charm, and calculated every move to ensure my ascent. Wen Ruohan's favor has been a significant stepping stone, but I know that true power lies in securing the Gusu Lan gang.

Yibo, with his innocent smile and naive charm, is the key to unlocking that power. I'll stop at nothing to make him mine, to claim the Gusu Lan gang as my own. My father's approval, though it may never come, drives me forward.

The memories of my mother, Meng Shi, haunt me still. Her love, her sacrifices, and her eventual demise weigh heavily on my conscience. I know she wanted more for me, better for me. But life had other plans.

As I navigate the treacherous landscape of the gang world, I'm reminded of the harsh realities I've faced. But I'll never be a victim again. I'll never be powerless. I'll rise to the top, no matter the cost.

Yibo, unaware of the storm brewing around him, remains a constant focus. I'll woo him, charm him, and ultimately, claim him. The Gusu Lan gang will be mine, and with it, the respect and admiration I so desperately crave.

My father may never acknowledge me, may never love me, but I'll make sure the world knows my name. Meng Yao, the illegitimate son, will rise to greatness, no matter the cost.

And for that, Yibo is my key to unlocking the respect and admiration I so desperately crave. I'll do whatever it takes to make him mine.

The dimly lit bar, nestled within the opulent mansion, was shrouded in an air of somberness. Sean Xiao Zhan sat alone, his eyes fixed on the whiskey in his hand, as the weight of the day's events settled around him. The funeral ceremony had come to a close, and the mourners had departed, leaving behind an unsettling silence.
