Trigger Warning for Sensitive Topics

Yuanzhou was the favorite child until Qinjuan was born, shifting the family dynamics. Initially, the family seemed perfect, with Yuanzhou feeling a mix of brotherly jealousy and pride towards Qinjuan. However, after their mother became pregnant again, their father changed, becoming abusive and taking his anger out on Yuanzhou and their mother. Yuanzhou endured his father's abuse, which in turn influenced him to bully Qinjuan non-brotherly. After the birth of their youngest sister, Chuntao, their mother died due to maternal complications, causing the family to spiral further into dysfunction. The father’s abuse intensified, and Yuanzhou tried harming Chuntao as a newborn. Eventually, authorities intervened, removing the father and sending Yuanzhou to rehab and then an adoption center, where he never found a home. Growing up without a stable family, Yuanzhou lived a rough life, eventually becoming homeless and mentally unstable. Over time, he spiraled into insanity, leading to a suicide attempt by drowning. He was saved by someone and woke up in Chuntao’s home, where she tried to care for him. Despite initial resistance and arguments, Yuanzhou and Chuntao discovered their sibling relationship. She insisted on caring for him, despite his warnings about his instability and potential to become a Tacet Discord. He confessed his dangerous condition and his paranoia about researchers wanting to test him, making Chuntao’s home a haven for him. Yuanzhou continued to live with Chuntao, doing simple chores in exchange for a place to stay. He refused to get a regular job, preferring to stay hidden and avoid detection. Despite his troubled past and instability, Chuntao remained determined to keep him safe, unwilling to lose another family member.
