In a mother's body, usually one twin would be thin and the other would be strong.
Coincidentally, Lian Xin was the stronger of the two children. Almost all the nutrition in the mother's body was given to Lian Xin.
Lian Xin was a very normal child, and Willow was born very thin and weak. As soon as he was born, his breathing was as weak as a cat's.
Lian Xin's mother chose to bring Willow, this thin child, out of the palace. She instructed a few trusted guards to bring Willow out of the palace and kill him.
When the guards saw that the child was so young and thin, they couldn't bear to do it.
So they decided to put the child in a wooden basin. Whether he lived or died was up to the heavens.
The guard returned with bloodstained clothes to report. Therefore, Lian Xin's mother had always thought that Willow was dead.
When Lian Xin was thirteen years old, someone who claimed to be from the Demon Palace wanted to see her.
