Prologue

  There are three dreams in life: one is about oneself, two is about the past, and three is about the future.

  Qin Di also had three dreams. In the first dream, he was in a desperate situation, and the culprit was arrogant and complacent in Qin Di's dream, with no power to resist, his eyes only had deep resentment and hatred.

  "It's all right, everything was planned by me, it was I who wanted to frame you and your mother, it was I who wanted to provoke Qin Di to go on a killing spree in the Qin family... But what does that matter? Who would believe now that this wasn't done by you and your mother? More than ten lives were lost right before our eyes, and what Old Master hates the most is the internal strife within the Qin family. And this time, all those who died are members of the Qin family!"

  The chief culprit, with a sinister cold smile, was crystal clear in Qin Di's dream: "Let me tell you, the old man is very angry, and the consequences will be severe. All that awaits you is being expelled from the Qin family."

  "You're despicable! You, — shameless!"

  "Despicable! Shameless! Hmph! What's it to you?" The ringleader sneered, "As long as I can drive this cheap woman and this wild seed out of the Qin family, what's the harm in being despicable and shameless?"

  "You don't even think about it, you're such a lowly woman, and yet you're worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Qin family?"

  "You cheap woman gave birth to a bastard, is he worthy of the surname Qin?"

  "If it weren't for Old Master protecting you, I would have secretly taken action and cleaned up the Qin family's door long ago!"

  "Heh heh, now it's not even necessary for me to lift a finger. The old master will drive you out of the Qin family himself... Heh heh, do you think anyone will still protect you once you're out of the Qin family? His father? Ha! He probably wants you dead more than I do... Once you're out of the Qin family, all it takes is one word from me, one move of my finger, and you'll be finished... It's your own fault, you mother and son are just too ignorant of the times, making it easy for me, Ling Er."

  ……

  The second dream, a mother and son, trembling with fear, knelt in front of an old man, their faces filled with anger, hatred, humiliation, and resentment.

  "A life for a life, I am willing to pay with my own life for my daughter!"

  Her mother's eyes were filled with overflowing love, yet so firm, and that eternal gaze, in Qin Di's dream was so clear, even if it was just a dream, Qin Di could feel the heart-wrenching pain.

  I'd rather die for my son!

  She was so decisive and firm.

  ……

  The dream suddenly broke off, a blank space, but soon, the third dream emerged, that was the last scene...

  "Since the old man spared your life, and your mother is willing to die for you, but I want you to spend the rest of your life at the lowest level of society, being trampled by others. I want to make you feel guilty, living a lifetime of regret and suffering."

  A hand gently pressed against Qin Di's forehead, the scene froze, and a heart-wrenching pain tore through his body...
