System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Ji Dong said these words in public.

The 260 fans in the live stream were all silent, and even the fans who had previously mocked him felt a chill run down their spines and dared not look Ji Dong in the eye.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Misfortune always seems to target those who are destined for hardship."

These words seemed to strike a chord with Ji Dong, and he cried.

Perhaps because this secret had been suppressed in his heart for too long, Ji Dong did not respond to Chen Xuan's words.

Instead, he continued with his childhood experiences.

"The next day my condition worsened and I fainted on the kang (a heated brick bed). When I woke up in the hospital, my aunt was watching over me. When she saw me wake up, she wiped away her tears and said that she would not go home anymore and would go live with her."

"My aunt didn't seem to want to tell me about my parents' death and burial, so I pretended not to know and stayed at my aunt's house. However, I dropped out of school before finishing junior high and left my hometown."

“My aunt is very good to me, but my uncle thinks I am a burden and often scolds my aunt because of me. I know I can’t be a burden to her, so I left early to work elsewhere.”

"Before leaving, I did something that outsiders would think was a terrible thing."

Ji Dong said calmly, "I dug up my parents' graves, dragged that beast out of the coffin, and pushed him into the river. He doesn't deserve to be buried with my mother!"

"Then I left my hometown. I cried when I boarded the bus because I knew that I would never have a home again."

“In the last few years, I worked in all sorts of industries. Because of my boldness and ruthlessness, I met a big brother who brought girls to work at KTV. Later, I followed him and eventually became a supervisor myself. At that time, I lived a life of debauchery and extravagance, and gradually lost my way and felt empty.”

"Later, something happened at the KTV. A customer beat up his men. I was their leader, so I stood up for them. I hit him with a stick, and he became a vegetable. I was also arrested."

"Four years later, I got out. I turned over a new leaf and never got involved in those shady industries again. As I grew past twenty-five and started working alone in a big city to support myself, I felt increasingly empty and lonely..."

“Every holiday, I have to ask for leave... not for anyone else, but just to avoid these holidays for family reunions, and to drown my sorrows and numb myself in alcohol in my dormitory.”

As Ji Dong spoke, his eyes grew increasingly dejected.

"Later, I developed depression and often had suicidal thoughts. Every time I was about to take action, my mother would appear in my dreams, crying and telling me to live well..."

"So after get off work, I would go for walks whenever I had nothing to do, trying to fill the emptiness in my heart."

"A person walks aimlessly through the bustling city, sometimes looking up at the tall buildings and the lights of thousands of homes... and then I start to cry, because among these thousands of lights, there is not a single one that is my home."

Ji Dong wiped away his tears, and his eyes immediately began to shine.

"Later, I met her, Xiaohui. I'm six years older than her. I don't know what she saw in me. When she pursued me, I was very resistant. I would even argue with her for no reason, telling her not to get too close to me, saying it wouldn't do her any good!"

“But she got into a fight with me. I didn’t actually do anything. I just helped her with some small things when she first joined the company. In my opinion, it was just something I did on a whim.”

"Yes, she's just as stubborn. The worse I treat her, the more determined she becomes... Brothers, put yourselves in her shoes. If I were you back then, without family, without relatives, having been to prison, and having been away from home for ten years without even a place to call my own, what would you have to offer for dating? What would you have to offer for marriage? And what would you have to offer her for a good life?"

"However, no matter how rational I am, I cannot ignore the desire in my heart. I am very lonely, and loneliness is too terrible. In the end, I couldn't help myself and accepted her confession."

"The moment I accepted her, I felt as if a surge of energy had been injected into my life. After years of confusion, I suddenly felt a renewed desire for life!"
