Ning Xu experienced three major turning points in his life by the time he turned twenty.

The first was when he was eight years old, and his parents tragically passed away during a research expedition. In the blink of an eye, Ning Xu and his sister, Ning Xing, became orphans.

Fortunately, they received a substantial compensation sum, which sparked a competition among their relatives to claim custody of the siblings. In the end, their paternal aunt secured their guardianship.

Initially, people speculated that the aunt took them in only for the inheritance and compensation. Even Ning Xu and Ning Xing almost believed this. However, despite these doubts, they were too young to do anything but live anxiously under her care.

To their surprise, life with their aunt turned out to be far better than expected. She provided for them, cooked hearty meals, and even bought them new clothes during the holidays. Over time, Ning Xu and Ning Xing realized that their aunt had no ulterior motives and truly cared for them.

As the years passed, the siblings also learned more about their family’s past. They discovered that their father had distanced himself from their aunt due to her sexual orientation, but their aunt had never wanted to cut ties. This newfound understanding brought them closer to her, and they grew to appreciate her even more.

The second turning point came when Ning Xu was sixteen, during the rise of esports. At seventeen, with his exceptional gaming skills, he quickly gained a large online following and was soon recruited by a well-known team. After obtaining his aunt's approval, Ning Xu dropped out of school to join the youth training program.
