The Shang family is a prominent, high-status household that requires a gentle and obedient matriarch, not someone like Li Li, who is a troublemaker and impossible to control. Once she married in, the house would be turned upside down.
Although Li Xiang was an adopted daughter, Madam Li clearly favored her, and her elder brother, Li Siyou, doted on her more than he did his own sister, giving her everything she desired. In the future, when Li Siyou inherited the Li Corporation, Li Li would be left with nothing; but with Li Siyou’s support, Li Xiang would essentially have the backing of the entire Li family.
Furthermore, her career as a ballerina was widely recognized in their social circle as the premier profession for a daughter-in-law, a source of prestige when appearing in public.
