Before Ye Qiu had returned, Shangguan Hong received a notification from her family, informing her that she was to be married into the Yin family.
Originally, Shangguan Hong was thinking about how to make it clear to Yin Shaoxiong that it was impossible between the two of them, but unexpectedly, such news came from the family side, hitting her head like a bolt from the blue.
"I won't marry!" Shangguan Hong's first sentence was a refusal.
From the other end of the phone came the domineering voice of her aunt, "Shangguan Hong, you have no say in this matter unless you want to see the Shangguan family decline from now on and have the empire built by the old master fall into ruin because of you."
"The old master's doting on you is known to everyone in the family, but over the years, you've still lived according to your own will. Now, when the family is facing a crisis, what does personal sentiment count for in the face of great moral duty?"
