S City, a bustling metropolis teeming with countless treasure.
Countless young people, brimming with hope for the future, flock to this city. Some are drawn to its glitzy nightlife, others to its beautiful prosperity.
Sixteen-year-old Lu Zijin had just finished school and realized no one had come to pick her up. The lively school gradually quieted down as her classmates formed small groups to return home, leaving only her lingering near the school gate. Normally if her father couldn't pick her up, he would send a driver. But today, Lu Zijin waited and waited to no avail.
Once the school gate was devoid of all activity and the sky began to darken, a gust of evening breeze came. Standing there with her school bag on her back, Lu Zijin looked like an abandoned child, dressed in a clean school uniform, carrying a bag of books, the image of an innocent young girl.
She remained silent for a long time, seeing no one come to fetch her, she decided to walk home herself.
Their home was in a wealthy neighborhood not far from the school; every household there was inhabited by successful individuals. This, of course, included her father, Lu Zhaoping. Every decoration there was extremely luxurious. The facilities were world-class, but there existed a hint of indifference between the people.
However, Lu Zijin didn't feel the indifference at all. At this time, she hadn't experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Moreover, her family was harmoniously happy. Her parents were deeply in love and cherished her. Indeed, she was a little princess showered with love since childhood.
As if Mother Nature was in a bad mood, a heavy rain suddenly began to pour. Lu Zijin had no choice but to cover her head and run home. Soaked to the skin, she reached the front door only to find that it was half open and the house seemed empty.
An eerie feeling crept up her spine, making her feel anxious. Cautiously stepping in, she grabbed a towel to dry off before deciding to go find her father.
The house was eerily quiet. She didn't turn on any lights as she looked around, faintly hearing some strange sounds coming from the guest room on the ground floor.
The sounds were like groans, also like the painful noises of a woman. She was somewhat puzzled, and carefully approached the guest room. In the darkness, she saw the light from the room and moved toward it.
A beautiful woman had been living in this guest room for the past six months, brought in by her father unexpectedly. The woman was very kind to her, but for an inexplicable reason, Lu Zijin always felt a slight distance between them. Driven by curiosity, she walked towards the slightly ajar door where soft light was spilling out.
In an instant, Lu Zijin stood frozen. She completely didn't expect to see such a scene in the room.
A seductive woman was sitting on an middle-aged man, continuously making suggestive noises. This man, was none other than her father, the person who she believed loved his family and wife.
At the tender age of sixteen, although she only had a vague understanding of love, she knew what they were doing. Her admirable father was cheating on her mother with another woman, and what's more, this woman had lived in her house for half a year already.
Her body couldn't help but shudder, her eyes filled with tears, how could this be...
How could this happen... she couldn't believe it, this was impossible…
Lu Zijin shook his head and escaped from the door, running into the room to sob uncontrollably. What she saw today was completely beyond her imagination.
In an instant, the image of her father in her heart was completely shattered. It turned out that all her perceived family happiness was just a facade. Even on a hot day, she felt extremely cold, and everything was destroyed.
She ran out of the house, drenched in the rain, like a lost lamb, not even knowing where she was herself.
The sky had already completely darkened, and the streetlights around were on, along with all kinds of neon lights. Even in a rainy night, the city remained prosperous.
