Yan Qiyi had always been a alone for as long as he can remember.

When he was adopted at the age of seven, the first words his new parents and elder brother told him were " You are just his substitute so don't covet his things" .

So when the real young master of the Chen family, Chen Ziqi returned, he wasn't disappointed because nothing ever belonged to him. He was just a substitute for him.

When all his friends began to alienate him, he didn't mind as they never saw him as 'Yan Qiyi' but as 'Second Young master of Chen family'.

It's was only once that Yan Qiyi coveted something, but he was doomed to be unable to get it from the start.

He was just a passerby in the novel from the start. A character that shouldn't covet the protagonist's things.
