"He's the General's son, and I'm the President's daughter."
Qi Jingren wasn't exactly spoiled, but she had been cherished dearly since childhood. Her mother died in childbirth, so Mo Jin always felt indebted to them, and for all these years he has been making amends. The way he compensated her was by giving Qi Jingren everything that was best, including the presidency.
Qi Jingren's mother, Qi Lian, was the daughter of Mo Jin's deputy general. Gentle and virtuous, cultured and reasonable, she was with Mo Jin for many years and never once asked to marry him, remaining quietly as the woman behind him.
Mo Jin initially saw Qi Lian as a stand-in for his late wife, but eventually, he emerged from his grief and came to love Qi Lian, forming a family with her.
The happy days did not last long. With the arrival of Qi Jingren, Qi Lian approached the gates of death and died on the operating table without catching a glimpse of her daughter.
