......
Before marrying Xia Weiyi's father, Zhou Ting had been Xu Mao's mistress and had given birth to a daughter, Xu Ziqing.
However, due to the reputation of the Xu Family and his own future prospects, Xu Mao could not divorce Xu Zhiye's mother to provide Zhou Ting and her daughter with a legitimate status.
Zhou Ting waited for over a year, realizing that marrying into a wealthy family was hopeless; she then fostered Xu Ziqing to a friend's family and returned to her free single life.
At that time, Zhou Ting was in her twenties, gorgeous, and had a great figure, not looking like a woman who had given birth at all.
It was during this period that she met Xia Yu, Xia Weiyi's father, at a friend's gathering. Xia Yu was a promising young man who managed a subsidiary company, and Zhou Ting felt he could be a reliable man to lean on, while Xia Yu fell in love with her at first sight.
