Everyone in the Dong family looked down upon Nie Zhenbang, especially Dong Wan's parents who never spoke to him. The fact that their cherished daughter, who was considered as precious as a gem, had become someone else's lover was something the Dong family could not accept.

The head of the Dong family, Dong Xiangyang, was no exception. Around sixty years old, he was now a member of the Central Political Bureau and Vice Premier of the State Council. The second and third generation of the Dong family, though not despicable, were somewhat mediocre in ability. These inherent shortcomings had limited the development of the Dong family's offspring.
