Twenty-six years ago.
The Yu family and the Li family had stood at the top of River Town as equals who moved heaven and earth in the city.
They had certainly been bitter rivals with no hope of conciliation, with even their children and grandchildren at each other throats.
Yu Qishan had led the family at the time, fighting the then head of the Li family both in the light and in the shadows. However, none of them had expected to find out one day that Yu Qishan's own daughter Yu Xiaoxiao was in a secret affair with Li Nanhai, son of Li Mingqi.
At the time, Li Nanhai was to be the next head of the family, and the noble families' dispute had grown violent.
The way Li Mingqi had separated the two lovers in his rage was immediately identical to Yu Qishan's own reaction.
Yu Xiaoxiao had been grounded, and Li Nanhai had been sent off to Europe.
