Selfish For Once

After losing everything, fourteen-year-old Wu Sowei believes his life has already reached its end.

Once an ordinary boy with loving parents, fate strips him of the only home he has ever known, leaving behind nothing but grief, quiet endurance, and memories too precious to forget. For years, he convinces himself that surviving is enough-that children like him are not meant to ask for happiness.

Then, on an ordinary winter day, everything changes.

Without warning, he is welcomed into one of the most influential families in the country-the prestigious Wang family. A world of warmth, elegance, and unwavering affection unfolds before him, so different from the life he once knew that it almost feels impossible to believe.

As he learns to navigate an unfamiliar home, a prestigious academy built for society's elite, and relationships that slowly reshape his understanding of family, Wu Sowei must confront the scars left by loss, guilt, and years of believing he was always meant to stand outside looking in.

Some wounds cannot be healed by time alone.

Some homes are not found by birth, but by the people who choose to stay.

And perhaps, just perhaps...

Love was never something he had to earn.
