Heartbroken, Huo Yanmei had slowly drifted apart from Lin Xuanji. When Lin Xuanji was caught up with Lu Jinwen, she made an excuse to meet Gu Tianling at the bar and spiked his drink. That was the night she slept with Gu Tianling.
It was that night, she had become pregnant with Gu Tianling's child, Gu Mohan.
Old Master Gu had strong regard for the bloodline and since the Huo family was a distinguished family in Karghalik, he allowed the marriage to proceed, despite Gu Tianling's strong objection. Ever since then, she knew that Gu Tianling despised her to the depths of her soul. Apart from that one drunken night, over the last 30 years, he had refused to touch her and barely tolerated her presence.
Although she had become Madam Gu, she lived like a widow.
