Ming Xiaoxiao took on all the burdens of family life for him. She raised their child, cared for his parents, and used her dowry to help him start a business, letting him pursue his career without worries. In return, he told her that without his assistant, she would have nothing. Zhao Beize looked down on her, calling her a housewife who could only get by on his support. He admired career-driven women who could build a future alongside him. Ming Xiaoxiao promptly divorced him and took charge of the Ming Group. She had grown up in a business empire, personally raised by her maternal grandfather, the founder of the Ming Group, and her mother. She had chosen family life for a time, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t make it on her own.
