In the Empire Country, illegitimate children are indeed despised, no matter if they have done anything wrong. As long as they bear the label of an illegitimate child, they will be looked down upon.
But the Jian family is an exception.
The Jian family never despises or rejects illegitimate children.
Because Jing Shun is an illegitimate child.
Yet Jing Shun has never done anything wrong.
If it weren't for Jing Shun's lousy father breaking his promise, succumbing to family pressure, and abandoning Jing Shun's mother, then Jing Shun should have been a legitimate child of the Jing family.
It was Jing Shun's lousy father, a scoundrel, who gave up his loving girlfriend for a business marriage, which turned Jing Shun, who should have been a legitimate child, into a despised illegitimate child.
So what wrong did Jing Shun do?
He did not do anything wrong from the beginning to the end.
He just had bad luck, being born to a mother abandoned by his lousy father.
