Xie Zheng had tried to woo Lin Yan's mother in school years ago, but her mother hadn't really fancied young masters from wealthy families, as she believed that they were indolent and fickle-minded. Instead, she had fallen in love with Lin Yuetong, who came from a poor background.
Initially, her mother and Lin Yuetong had been happy. However, no one knew that Lin Yuetong had hidden his true colors so well.
After a period of time, Lin Yuetong's inferiority, selfishness and vanity were revealed, along with his thirst for success. He had begun to despise her mother, who had been born with a silver spoon.
Soon, her mother had discovered that Lin Yuetong was still deeply in love with his first love. However, his first love had been forced to marry a rich guy, which had resulted in Lin Yuetong's hatred and contempt for rich people.
To Lin Yuetong, her mother had merely been a tool used to attain success and wealth.
