Shao Hui felt like his world was crumbling down. He just wanted to bring his wife to the reality show, how come it suddenly turned into him getting a divorce? What was going on?
Seeing that Shao Hui looked genuinely panicked, Wen Gui set aside his worries. He thought that Shao Hui was trying to pull another prank on his daughter.
But now that he was certain that Shao Hui truly had feelings for Mo Qiang and wanted to stay with her out of his own willingness rather than security, Wen Gui was quite happy. In fact, he too didn't want to see a divorce happening in his family as the perfect family he dreamed of, did not consist of breaking ties and turning into strangers.
"I am not lying, you do not know this but because my wonderful, ambitious and beautiful daughter has caught the eye of the Empress. She now wants the third Prince to marry Qi Qi," Wen Gui threw the bomb at Shao Hui whose eyes widened as all the blood drained from his face.
Third…Third Prince? Was he, not the mer with whom Mo Qiang was obsessed? Even in his dream, he could tell that the person who was half responsible for ruining his life was none other than Fu Qi Hong!
Because Mo Qiang could not marry Fu Qi Hong, she cursed, beat and threw him out of her room many times. She had blamed him for taking the last slot of her official husband and ruining her life.
He still remembered the night of their wedding very vividly and everything that Mo Qiang had said to him.
*****
On the night of Mo Qiang and Shao Hui's wedding, the three moons were shining brightly. The small house at the Dead Star was lit up in vibrant red lights and Mo Yan had decorated the house with red fabric and couplets that flashed on the screen.
Each word that blinked on the screen was filled with blessing and love but none of that mattered to Mo Qiang who was getting drunk in her room.
"You…You will get drunk at this rate," Shao Hui who had taken off his veil tried to take the wine solution from Mo Qiang. He didn't know what was going on, as he just turned eighteen a few days ago and was told that he was getting married.
After he lost one of his eyes, Mo Yan rescued him and brought him to the hospital where an eye transplant was done and he was given the pupil of a donator. When he woke up, Mo Yan told him that if he wanted to survive then he needed to either marry her daughter or go to a social welfare centre.
She told him that his mother was demanding Mo Yan send him back to the Shao house as soon as possible and the only reason she hadn't forcefully taken him away was that Mo Yan's strength and valour was known to the entire Imperial Galaxy.
Mo Yan was able to protect him because Madam Shao was scared of her but without a proper reason an exile like Mo Yan could not save him. Shao Hui also knew this, and he also knew that if he was to go to the welfare centre, it wouldn't take his mother less than an hour to kidnap him and take him back home where his other eye would be plucked as well and he would be left to die.
Thus, Shao Hui who wanted to live agreed to marry Mo Qiang whom he didn't even know about anything.
However, he didn't know that Mo Qiang had someone in her heart as he thought that Mo Yan would never let her daughter marry someone she didn't like.
