Before entering Beijing, although Song Yun also carried the tag of being from the main branch of the Song Family, it was only just a tag. As long as he hadn't officially entered the family registry, Song Yun couldn't be considered a true member of the Song Family's main branch, lacking inheritance rights. Although people might still value him, they wouldn't truly fear him. Nowadays, there are plenty of cases where things fall through. Who knows if entering Beijing necessarily means getting into the family registry?
But now, with Song Yun entering the family registry, it's akin to transitioning from a Crown Prince to a Regent. The Crown Prince doesn't have much real power, while the Regent has thorough control.
Sometimes, such a small title is enough to transform a person entirely.
This is why many people are so eager for these titles. If you don't step forward, you're a coward. Take one step forward, and maybe you're a hero.
Of course, with success, there will also be regrets.
