Si Hongqi's grandfather was able to cut his ties in time from the other members of the councils that worked together with him that was why he wasn't captured by the current King, Han Qinshan.
When Si Enlin, Si Hongqi's father, became the leader of the Shadow Army, instead of taking his old man's steps, he focused on building the Si family business in the mainland instead. He didn't want to have any conflicts with both the Han family and the Lu family.
Because of his decision, the old man focused on the future leader of the Si family, Si Guanlin until… They saw more potential leadership in Si Hongqi.
Ever since childhood, the Si brothers had always been competing with each other. When Si Hongqi met Lu Mengjie, everything changed for him. Because of her, his view on life changed as well.
