Gave my all, even my life, for the Gu family. Reborn, cut ties — now they kneel and beg

Gu Yan was reborn. The very "family" that had once driven him into a living hell stood right before him. In his past life, he had yearned for familial affection; he had made endless concessions and endured everything, offering up his sincere heart only to have it trampled upon. Even as he sacrificed everything—including his life—for the Gu family, they never showed him a shred of warmth, their eyes fixed solely on that "replacement" younger brother. Upon opening his eyes to this new life, he decisively severed ties with them and walked away from that toxic household. No longer hiding his true capabilities, he single-handedly built a business empire. When the members of the Gu family came begging at his doorstep, filled with regret, Gu Yan’s gaze was icy: "I don't know you. Get lost." As the Gu family's business empire crumbled, his mother knelt outside all night, pleading for an audience. His father and younger brother blocked the entrance to his company, weeping and wailing. Sitting in his office, Gu Yan watched the scene on the surveillance monitor and took a calm sip of tea. "When you threw me out to die back then, why didn't you ever consider... that one day, I might come back alive?"
