Originally, he had no intention of remarrying.
Although his wife had passed away, she left behind a charming son.
Ling Yue was the fruit of his and his wife's love.
He made a promise to his wife that he would take care of Ling Yue and raise him well.
But one day, his graduate advisor unexpectedly came to him and said that his daughter, Xie Wennan, had liked him for a long time.
His advisor said that his wife was critically ill with not much time left, and her dying wish was to see Xie Wennan get married and start her own family.
His advisor also noted that Ling Yue was still young and needed a mother.
Considering his busy work schedule and inability to spend enough time with his child, the boy needed a mother's care even more.
He didn't want to agree initially, but he was the prized pupil of his advisor who had been exceedingly kind to him.
His advisor pleaded persistently and, coupled with his budding affection for Xie Wennan, he eventually agreed to talk to her.
