side story 8: gu yu's inner monologue

i'm gu yi, 20 years old this year, and i was born into the gu family, one of the top families in country M.

even though i was born into a family where there are endless open and secret conflicts like the gu family, before the age of ten, because of my grandfather's love and my parents 'protection, i have only heard about the evil of human nature from others and have never experienced it personally.

I'm the eldest grandson of the Gu family. I've been talented since I was young. In addition, I was the future successor of the Gu family and was favored by my grandfather. The people under me never dared to neglect me. My uncles and aunts were also very polite to me.

Before the age of ten, my life could be described as carefree.

But all of this changed when I was ten.

It was my tenth birthday, and the sun rose in the morning. It was a good day. However, in the afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, a strong wind blew, and it began to rain heavily.
