Without the Yang Family, Weng Tongming wouldn't be who he is today. However, his desperate attempts to save Yang Cuimei's life were not solely out of gratitude towards the Yang Family; he and Yang Cuimei genuinely had deep feelings for each other.
They knew each other since they were very young. At that time, Yang Cuimei was still a young lady of great wealth, whereas Weng Tongming was merely a young apprentice at a pharmacy. Yang Cuimei didn't look down on Weng Tongming because of his low status; instead, she took the initiative to approach him. Their feelings were pure and innocent from the start, just like something described in a romantic novel.
"Cuimei, please wake up. You always said you wanted to travel the world. Before, I always said I was too busy to take you around. Now, I promise, if you wake up, I'll take you to travel the world immediately."
Speaking emotionally, Weng Tongming was brought to tears.
