In his previous life, he was gentle and refined, giving her everything he had, only to end up with his family ruined and destroyed. "So what? What does that have to do with me?" Su Yue finished scrubbing the chamber pot in her hand. In this life, he decided he would not be shackled by emotions. He was determined to restore his family’s legacy and never let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself. "You shouldn't be attached to me. System, could you please go find Yan Qitang instead?"
