Gu Manxi's life in the original novel was too miserable.
She was so kind, and she deserved all the good things.
If Song Chen could protect Gu Manxi, Gu Chu could reluctantly call him father. If Song Chen couldn't protect Gu Manxi, there were plenty of men who wanted to be Gu Chu's stepfather, such as Cheng Qi, Fangzheng, and Lu Shanhe.
Gu Manxi's eyes reddened as she smiled and stroked her child's hair. "Chuchu... you're such a good girl."
A five-year-old child was so sensible that Gu Manxi's eyes welled up.
She had felt countless times that Gu Chu was a little angel given to her by the heavens. She had somehow changed her life and injected fresh hope into her once lonely years.
