A Long Time Ago:
Yuan Ning hated the weight he endured. As the eldest son of an esteemed and famed family, he was born with a tremendous amount of expectations—a name to live up to. His surname, Yuan, had multiple meanings: Round object, round coin, money.
His family name meant and revolved around money, which suited their profession as rulers of a banking empire. His family are debt collectors; they were supposed to be callous, apathetic—nonchalant. And Yuan Ning was all of those things, as his father wanted him to be, and yet it didn't satisfy him.
