Huang's mother initially held a rather favorable impression of Yao Zijin, given that Yao Zijin came from a prominent high-ranking official family. She had secretly hoped that forming a marital alliance with such a family might benefit her son Huang Zhengyong's future development and pave a smoother path for him.
However, Yao Zijin's father resolutely opposed the match, insisting that the two families came from vastly different backgrounds and were socially mismatched, and that a forced union would only bring numerous unnecessary disturbances and troubles. Due to her father's fierce opposition, Huang Zhengyong's path to transitioning out of the military became increasingly bumpy and fraught with obstacles. Meanwhile, Yao Zijin also lost her original job and could no longer provide substantive help and support to the Huang family.
As time passed, Huang's mother's dissatisfaction with Yao Zijin gradually surfaced and grew increasingly obvious. She began to feel that Yao Zijin not only failed to bring any tangible benefits to the Huang family, but had instead become a stumbling block to Huang Zhengyong's military transition, hindering his future prospects. This growing resentment spread throughout the household, leaving Yao Zijin feeling deeply awkward, helpless, and trapped in an increasingly difficult predicament.
