Sometimes, she remembered what her husband's loving mother had said, on their wedding day, to his new and loving wife.
"Such a dear little child he was, so soft and loving and honey-tongued. He could charm the birds, the flowers, the girls of the court. My son was the golden boy, and we gave hom everything. Everything.

Everything, and everyone. And what - and who - he didn't want, he discarded or destroyed. His loving mother had learned that too late.
His unloving wife pitied her mother-in-law's untimely death, and learned from it, and let Jin Guangshan have anything he wanted. And waited...
The Untamed - and yes, even that man was a child once
