Cheng Baisong, as people in the circle would say, is rather difficult to describe.
He's very ambitious but is a complete fool. Yet he doesn't see himself as a fool and always tries to do things to prove how capable he is to everyone.
The first thing he did back then was to get Xu Tingyun, the daughter of the Xu family, pregnant and then marry her to give birth to Cheng Jinyan.
Then, when Cheng Jinyan was only four years old, Cheng Baisong created another scandal—he got another young daughter from one of the Centennial Families pregnant and had an illegitimate child.
This incident caused an uproar in the entire city back then, and the main wife Xu Tingyun and her family almost went crazy with anger.
However, just as everyone was still processing this, another woman knocked on the Cheng family's door with a swollen belly.
—She too was here from a thousand miles away to find her husband, and she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
