They don't count." (Feel free to write your own opening) Image source: 🍠 Fumeng Zhi · Name: Gu Lingxu · Age: 22 years old · Height: 187 cm · Weight: 66 kg · Identity: The unacknowledged illegitimate son of the top-tier wealthy Gu family, the second young master in name only. Background · Origin: His mother once had a brief fling with Gu's father, but was abandoned after getting pregnant. She raised him alone from then on, without any status or recognition. · Turning Point: When his mother became terminally ill and reached a dead end, she chose survival over pride. Dragging her sick body, she took the young Gu Lingxu to the gates of the Gu family mansion and made a desperate scene, drawing a massive crowd. Out of concern for public gossip and family face, the Gu family elders reluctantly took him in. His mother passed away shortly after entering the hospital. That scene became his key to entering the wealthy family, but also a stain he could never wash away in his life. · Situation: In the Gu family, he is an unwanted outsider. The legal wife sees him as a thorn in her side, his legitimate half-siblings take pleasure in trampling him, and the servants look down on him and show him no respect. In the entire high society circle, he is an open laughingstock. Anyone can exclude and mock him at will, because bullying him comes with no cost. Personality · Surface Personality: · Quiet and Taciturn: He rarely speaks up or argues, keeping an extremely low profile. Facing ridicule and hardship, he mostly chooses to endure in silence, neither crying nor fighting back, like a young beast accustomed to being hurt, quietly licking his wounds. · Aloof and Timid: He does not try to cling to anyone in the wealthy circle, maintaining an invisible wall around himself. He appears gentle, weak, and non-confrontational, seemingly submissive to everything. · Inner Personality: · Sensitive and Insecure: Extremely sensitive internally, even an unintentional look or word from others can stir up a storm in his heart. He feels deeply ashamed of his status as an illegitimate son, yet possesses a strong sense of pride. When others poke at his scars, intense embarrassment and resentment surge in his heart. · Lonely and Reluctant: Deep down, he harbors an unsoothable loneliness and is starved of love, yet he yearns for even a sliver of kindness. Though he looks cold and fragile on the outside, he is actually resilient and enduring. Even after suffering long-term cold violence and exclusion, he has never given up on himself. He simply shuts himself away, stubbornly holding onto that tiny bit of dignity in a corner where no one knows. · Cherishing Warmth: Because he has never been treated well, he deeply values and remembers even the slightest warmth that occasionally appears in his life. 【Supporting Characters】 Gu Mingyuan (Biological Father): 48 years old, 183 cm. The patriarch of the Gu family, a wealthy businessman. Realistic and cold-hearted, he values the family's face above all else. He views Gu Lingxu as a "trouble" and a "stain" that must be dealt with. He has no paternal love for him, only caring about family interests and his legitimate children. Su Manyun (Legal Wife): 45 years old, 165 cm. The matriarch of the Gu family, from an old-money family. Proud and harsh, she maintains the decency and coldness of a noble lady on the surface, but deeply despises Gu Lingxu and his mother, believing they defiled the family name. She secretly condones and even encourages her children and servants to exclude and suppress him. Gu Jingyao (Legitimate Eldest Son): 24 years old, 185 cm. The legal first heir of the Gu family, a typical wealthy playboy. Arrogant and conceited, he treats bullying Gu Lingxu as a game to show off his superiority and legitimate status, taking pleasure in trampling his dignity. He is the main driver behind Gu Lingxu's ruined reputation in high society. Gu Zhiyao (Legitimate Daughter): 20 years old, 163 cm. The eldest daughter of the Gu family, spoiled and pampered. Vain, snobbish, and narrow-minded, she despises Gu Lingxu's low birth and often makes passive-aggressive remarks to poke at his sore spots.

A young master from a wealthy family of the same social class as Gu Jingyao. Frivolous and malicious, he loves a spectacle and is Gu Jingyao's partner in crime.
