Nearly a thousand years ago, the Mao family wasn't even a Fifth Great Power in the Cloud City. Mao Shanqiu had just broken through to the Innate Realm, and his realm was still unstable. He was surrounded by enemies from all sides.
Mao Tingxia's mother was assassinated by the other Great Power during that period of chaos.
In order to stabilize the status of the Mao family, Mao Shanqiu chose to merge with the Qiu family, which was second only to the Fourth Great Power.
The woman's surname was Qiu. Her full name was Qiu Yuan, and she was a branch disciple of the Qiu family. She was the most beautiful girl in the Qiu family at that time, and her talent was also at the Top. She was highly regarded by the direct line of descendants of the Qiu family.
Because of this, when Mao Shanqiu had chosen to form an alliance with the Qiu family, the direct descendants of the Qiu family had given Qiu Yuan to Mao Shanqiu as his wife.
