Jiang Wang's stepmother, named Song Ruyi, lived as a widow in the town. Alone with her daughter, she struggled to support a nearly bankrupt herbal medicine shop, unable to sustain the business.
Later, through business contact, she became acquainted with an outstanding young man from the Lin Family, named Lin Zhenglun. Zhenglun helped her considerably, and gradually the two of them developed feelings for each other.
In terms of seniority, Zhenglun could be considered my cousin. He had no talent for cultivation, but he had a great talent for business. My Lin Family, being one of the major families in Wangjiang City, entrusted him with our herbal medicine business.
Lin Zhenglun and Song Ruyi fell in love and eventually decided to marry. Although our family patriarch was unhappy that she was a widow, he accepted it reluctantly due to Zhenglun's deep feelings.
