Shen Yunxi had always been invisible.
Born to a father who saw only power and profit, he was a tool to be used, not a son to be loved.
His mother had passed when he was too young to remember her, and in her absence, his father's cold, calculating nature became the only constant in his life.
He never cried for the love he was denied. He had learned long ago that tears only invited more pain.
Silence was safer.
Silence kept him hidden from a world that only seemed to break the delicate boy into something smaller.
His beauty, often remarked upon, was the only thing his father valued.
But beauty, in a world where survival was a game of cruelty, could be both a gift and a curse. It drew eyes, sure, but it also invited jealousy and disdain.
When the Emperor's men came, his father saw an opportunity.
The price was set-a price for his silence, his beauty, and the emptiness in his eyes that no one ever cared to fill.
In exchange for gold, Yunxi was sold.
And so, with no farewell and no understanding, he was taken from the only life he knew, a life of quiet suffering, to a palace where his voice would never be heard, and his silence would be his greatest asset.
But even silence has a price.
And Yunxi was about to learn that even the most broken hearts can be seen.
