The Lin Family was the preeminent clan in Wangjiang City, unparalleled and laughing proudly above all others, unlike in Fenglin City where the Wang, Fang, and Zhang San families were known as the major families. In Wangjiang City, the Lin Family stood alone in glory.
Especially after Lin Zhengren seized the title of champion in the tri-city debate, the family's influence reached its zenith.
Although later there was Zhu Weiwo's lone challenge that shamed the city, the loss of face wasn't limited to the Lin Family but extended to the whole of Wangjiang City. Therefore, the prestige of the Lin Family didn't suffer much.
When some people rise to glory, others fall into obscurity.
The more glorious they become, the more he plummets.
Having lost the easy profits of the family's medicinal material trade, Lin Zhenglun fell from the clouds to the dust overnight.
