Lucas lost everything. His abusive father pushed his mother to the brink of death. His younger sister turned into a chip for blackmailing and lost her life. Left alone in the world without his loved ones, he decided to end his life to meet them in the afterlife.

Instead of dying, Lucas was born as a baby without his past memories in a world of cultivation. He had a loving family of mother and older sister. Even without his memories, as Lucas grew up, he knew in his heart that he had to protect his family from all the evils and strived to become stronger.

With his growth, Lucas occasionally started to see many heart-rending visions, which affected him greatly and affected the way he looked at others, including his family. The revelations shocked him. He couldn't trust anyone, even his once close family and friends.

What were those visions? How will Lucas cope with the unsettling revelations and his chaotic feelings?
Will he become estranged or strengthen his bonds with his family and friends and gain the love and warmth that he once longed for.

Read from the perspective of Lucas and join him on his journey of growth, acceptance and love.

***
The prologue of the novel (the first 2 chapters) is tragic and hard to digest but HOLD ON!
Do read at least the first 10 chapters before deciding to drop off.


Note: No Gender-Bender, Yuri, NTR and Rape.

Shards of the Broken Heart

The once haughty and confident Ishmael was brought to his knees as he, with a gory mess of his more than half-eroded head, suddenly kowtowed to Anais and cried.

"I admit defeat. It was my mistake to look down upon your excellency. You are indeed worthy of rank 1. But now, please help me. It's too painful. I don't want to suffer any more."

Anais, who was going to dodge away, was shocked by his behaviour. She then stopped distancing herself and studied his face briefly while keeping a little distance from Ishmael.

It was a very normal reaction as just a second before, her opponent was chasing her in anger and cursing that he would catch up to her and beat her to death for poisoning him; the next second, he was suddenly kowtowing.

Was he plotting something by acting weak?

But just a single glance at his face was sufficient to answer the question.
