Yu Se pinned all of her hopes on Jiang Sinan.
She attempted to use his gender to overthrow Jiang Muwan,
and to leave Muwan with nothing.
Did Jiang Sinan take her earnest and well-meaning advice to heart?
Not necessarily.
On the contrary, a phrase from Jiang Muwan emerged in Jiang Sinan's mind: "You are nothing but a tool for your mother to climb to a high position. Without this gender, you are nothing."
This was not the only time Muwan had spoken such words to her.
What's more, he could occasionally hear his classmates spouting such remarks.
He was unwilling to delve into whether it was just to protect his own mother.
But today, as his mother sat next to him, speaking earnestly and at length, an idea of seeking the truth sprouted in his mind.
This idea was crazy,
like a double-edged blade, razor-sharp at both ends—if not cutting himself, then cutting Yang Shan.
Before him was a mountain of knives, behind him a sea of fire; either path would lead to injury.
