Once the old man started talking, he talked for the whole afternoon.
Gu Li listened with deep emotions. After returning to the Other Garden, where she lived with Mo Shiting, she was still immersed in that intricate tale of love and hatred. It took her a while to regroup.
The story was melodramatic. The scion of a wealthy family and a rising star in the business world, the genius architect Mo Xinghe, fell in love with a female celebrity named Little Flower. However, because their social classes weren't adequate, and Mo Xinghe was betrothed to the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruotong, his relationship with Little Flower was strongly opposed by the Mo family.
Mrs. Song even used coercive tactics, threatening Little Flower's life to pressure Mo Xinghe into marrying Lin Ruotong.
Mo Xinghe, for the sake of the woman he loved, reluctantly agreed.
On their wedding night, he was tricked by Mrs. Song and the Lin family into consummating his marriage with Lin Ruotong.
