Zhou Sheng himself had cut-off all ties with the Li family and when his father and elder brother had cursed him a fool and a white-eyed wolf for helping outsiders to destroy his own family, he had wondered if the people he had treated as his own had really ever known him or if he had ever really known their blackened hearts.
The last straw for him had been when his father had callously evicted him from the Li Residence when he had gone for Princess's first death anniversary.
His entire life he had grieved for his best friend, grieved for the part his family had played in her demise.
The first time he had met her when she was running away from those kidnappers all those years ago; his heart had skipped like he had found the reason and goal of life.
He had always secretly wished to be the one to bring her utmost joy and happiness.
He had always wanted to be the one who she would grace with her heart-warming smiles.
