"Entering the Gu family was the beginning of my nightmare. Because I am an illegitimate child, born of low status, and because I am disabled, I have no use. So everyone in the Gu family despised me and never treated me kindly."
"When I first went in, I was both cautious and terrified, living in constant fear every day.
