Shangguan You was not only the princess of the Shangguan Family but also of the Lin Family. This was because, for three generations, the Lin Family had only produced one daughter, Lin Mengjie. Lin Mengjie, in turn, had given birth to Shangguan You—another precious daughter. All other descendants were male. Consequently, daughters and granddaughters held a position of great importance in the Lin Family. Nowadays, even Lin Qingyu and Lin Wenhao, men who commanded respect and instilled fear within the mafia circles, would find themselves being thoroughly berated by the Lin family patriarch, often with a finger pointed right at their noses.
The men of the Lin family were known for doting on their female relatives; Lin Mengjie's brothers, for example, had adored their sister to the point of obsession. If it weren't for the events of sixteen years ago, Shangguan You wouldn't bear the Shangguan surname but would be called Lin Wenyu instead.
