When Meng Ze was eight years old, he knew that his father had a mistress outside.
That mistress even bore a son, only one year younger than him.
One day, he hid in the study, listening to his parents' quarrel ring in his ears.
From that moment on, he realized how important power was to a person.
It was also from that time that he no longer resisted the arranged marriage with Ye Shaohua.
Many people thought she was flawless and envied him for having such a fiancée; however, Meng Ze never took Ye Shaohua seriously—she lived too falsely, so much so that she didn't seem real.
He also knew that Ye Shaohua truly liked him, and perhaps because of this affection, he never took her to heart from beginning to end.
It wasn't until her mother died, and she fell from grace.
Yang Qin rose to power.
Only then did Meng Ze shift his attention to others.
He knew his current fate; he and his mother could only stay in the Meng Family because of the marriage alliance with Ye Shaohu.
