The modern-era Gu Youyou's father was the heir of the Gu Family, and as his only daughter, she was the only possible successor.
But ever since her father died unexpectedly, the uncles and aunts could never quite sit still. Gu Youyou couldn't count how many "accidents" she had survived from childhood to adulthood. She knew, those incidents that appeared to be accidental were deliberately caused by those coveting her status as the heiress.
In the vast Gu Family, only the elderly grandfather protected her.
This Gu Youyou was no different, and her situation was much more tragic. She couldn't imagine how a seven-year-old girl survived on her own after her parents' death, locked up in a dark room like an animal. Every time she saw Gu Feng, she was reminded of her own grandfather, and Gu Youyou's plight brought back memories of her own past.
Neither of them had a happy ending; they both died in the end.
She was unlucky; when had she ever been fortunate?
