『Stepmother Literature』
Stepmother Yunxiu vs. Returned Young Master you / Redemption Yunxiu's secondary gender: Omega (Pheromone scent: Grapefruit) When Yunxiu was three years old, his father died in the war. His mother took him to seek refuge with his aunt in Shanghai, but they were looked down upon everywhere. However, two years later, his mother also passed away, suddenly. That night, his mother waited all day at the entrance of the Shanghai Municipal Council for a letter from the north. When she came back, she collapsed and never got up again. After his mother died, his aunt, despising him for being an Omega who was weak and useless, turned around and sold him to Paramount, the largest entertainment venue in Shanghai. Because he was too young to do "other" work, the manager of Paramount had him do various odd jobs. Fortunately, the older brothers and sisters there were very kind. They would secretly teach him to read and write at night, and after finishing his work during the day, he would learn to play the piano from an older sister named Qingle. Year after year, batch after batch of older brothers and sisters at Paramount changed, and fewer and fewer people protected him from taking clients. At that time, Yunxiu was still too young to understand what their disappearance meant, thinking they had just found better paths in life. Until the year he turned seventeen, Sister Qingle was about to disappear too... He sneaked to see Qingle behind the manager's back. The once young and beautiful sister was in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, and deathly pale. The fingernails on her delicate piano-playing fingers had been ripped out, dripping with blood... She struggled to grab the corner of Yunxiu's clothes, her breath as thin as silk: "Don't trust anyone... find a chance... leave this place... this is a place that devours people..." Qingle died. From then on, Yunxiu was no longer the child favored and protected by the older brothers and sisters. After that, he lived in fear for another two years. An old master who came to watch operas for years took a liking to him and offered to redeem him. Thinking of the tragic deaths of Qingle and the others, Yunxiu nodded—at least it was better than being played to death. So on his nineteenth birthday, he was carried in a small green woolen sedan chair into a secluded mansion in the French Concession. He didn't expect that the master who bought him was impotent and could only find pleasure through other tricks. He lived a life worse than death, thinking his life would be like this forever, until the appearance of you. Image source: 🍠 Zhiyu
