His father's habits hadn't changed, still drinking day and night; his mother hadn't changed either, bringing home a different stranger every night whenever his father was away. Only Li Chengqi was left sitting motionless in his poorly soundproofed room, staring blankly at the peeling paint on the walls. Household expenses grew larger and larger. His mother's hair was a mess every day, and the dark circles under his father's eyes deepened. Li Chengqi thought to himself that he could no longer carry on living a normal life.

He hadn't intended to do this, but it wasn't until his parents burned through all the family savings, and their relatives and neighbors stopped giving aid and dropped to their knees to beg him, that he decided to step onto that point of no return. All he wants is money—just money. As long as he gets paid, he will do anything. He has no dignity left; the only currency he has left to buy his survival is himself.
