Fortunately, Jing Yuanxi awakened early. Initially, she tried to negotiate, stating that she only wanted a formal marriage, a union between the Han and Jing families, and didn't need feelings. Han Shixu, however, angrily accused her of being blinded by power, willing to sell her own marriage. Later, she returned from the legendary Black Triangle, and the entire trading sea area came under the Jing family's control. While everyone else was forced to end the engagement, the usually aloof Han Shixu humbly begged her to continue the marriage when no one was around.
