Jiang Renxing's wife, Zi Yu had just birthed her child, and was pronounced dead by the midwife.
"My lady…"
"This can't be."
Zi Yu's maid servants wailed at the news of their mistress's death.
Jiang Renxing could only stand like a statue by the bedside of his wife. His eyes red-rimmed with the tears he was trying to hold back.
Madam Wang was beside him as well, carrying the new born baby in her arms, as she too mourned the passing of the lady of the house while also trying to pet the crying baby.
Hearing the baby's cries, Jiang Renxing turned to look at the baby. His eyes locked onto the baby's face, and his clenched his fists as unpleasant memories resurfaced in his head.

Jiang Renxing stood atop a hill, gazing down at the serene Crystal Cove Lake. The water's calm surface reflected the vibrant hues of the surrounding landscape.
