Even though the feudal society has passed, those people in the wealthy families still judge a woman by the man at her side.
They label women as dependents; if you have the slightest bit of beauty, they accuse you of climbing the ranks through your looks, and if you have any cunning or capability, they slander you behind your back. Only if you become a king and completely trample them underfoot will they bow down to you and respect you greatly.
Liao Feiyi is the best example in this city.
A woman born in poverty who is revered as Miss Liao by numerous magnates and aristocratic families in C City is an honor given to her by Gu Jiangnian, yet once Gu Jiangnian withdraws, this honor will be no more.
The Cai Family in C City follows the path of building achievements and establishing careers, staying uninvolved with the grudges and affairs of the wealthy elites.
