In this chapter, we learn that Cai Ming-liang has fallen in love with a woman named Song-wan, and that she is the daughter of a wealthy and famous family. The two of them have been married for many years, and they have a son, Cai-Ting-liang, who is the grandson of one of the family's wealthiest and most famous members, the late King Siang. The King's wife, Siang's elder sister, is also a member of the Siang family, and Siang is the eldest son of the King. Siang, however, does not want to marry his daughter, because she is not rich enough to support a family of her own. Instead, he wants to marry the woman he loves, and he wants her to have a child with him so that she can support her own family. He also wants to have another child with her, so that they can have a family together. He wants to be married to her, but she refuses to have any children with him. He tells her that he will let her go, and she agrees to let him go.
