"Boom, boom, boom!" Inside a room of the Kuroto Family, the sound of thunderous explosions could be heard, making the maids outside freeze like cicadas in winter; they shivered, fearing they might become collateral damage.

"What's going on?" a calm male voice asked.

"Clan Leader!" the maids kneeled and said, "It's... Young Master Youshun, he..."

Before the maids could finish, another loud bang echoed from the room.

"You may leave," said Kurofuji Ryo, the Clan Leader of the Kuroto Family, frowning.

The maids quickly retreated. Kurofuji Ryo shook his head, a hint of disappointment crossing his face. He had thought his eldest son would have matured by now, but seeing this, how could he entrust him with any serious responsibilities?

"Damn it! Damn it!" Kuroto Youshun threw everything he could find to the ground, leaving a chaotic mess. Precious calligraphy and paintings, shattered porcelain, and broken fallen flowers littered the floor.

Having nothing left to throw, Kuroto Youshun clenched his teeth, his eyes red, "The old Undying of the Inoue Family, how dare you mock me so! I, Kuroto Youshun, swear an undying enmity against you in this life!"

The words of the Great Elder of the Inoue Family had quickly reached Kuroto Youshun's ears, infuriating him!

"I am clearly the eldest son, but why do you all belittle me so!" Kuroto Youshun clenched his teeth tightly, like an angry lion.

"Hmm, the eldest son of the esteemed Clan Leader of the Kuroto Family acting so disgracefully!" At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Kurofuji Ryo walked in, his face grim, "Is smashing things at home all you're capable of? If so, I'm truly disappointed!"

"Father!" Kuroto Youshun quickly kneeled, beads of cold sweat rolling down his face. He stammered, "Father, I'm sorry, I've disappointed you!"

If he disappointed his father, then he truly had no chance left! Kuroto Youshun was very clear on this.

"It's just a woman!" Kurofuji Ryo scolded coldly, "A man should not be distressed over losing a wife; to lose composure over a woman is simply a disgrace to our Kuroto Family!"

Kuroto Youshun clenched his teeth and said, "No, father, it's not just about a mere woman. I despise my own incompetence, having been mocked by someone from the Inoue Family, causing you to lose face, father. My sins are unforgivable!"

Hearing this, the expression of anger on Kurofuji Ryo's face softened a bit, "Is that really what you think?"

"Yes, father!" Kuroto Youshun said, clenching his teeth, "I should have been your pride, father, but now, I have become a reason for others to belittle you. My rage is precisely because of this! I have tarnished your reputation, and it is disgraceful as a son!"

Kurofuji Ryo's tone softened, "Nonsense, a man's true strength is hardly just about what others think. I am satisfied that you have this awareness, but if you want to be my pride, show some real caliber, not just throwing things around at home!"

"Yes, father!" Kuroto Youshun's heart relaxed slightly, at least now he had managed to somewhat redeem his image.

Kurofuji Ryo glanced faintly at Kuroto Youshun and said, "As for Inoue Sakura... don't worry, the moment she enters the Kuroto Family's door, she will be your woman. That's my promise to you!"

Kuroto Youshun's heart leapt with joy, but he did not show it on his face, "Father, since she wants to marry my brother, I will..."

"Haha, the people of our Kuroto Family are not simply married off to whoever they wish! Entering our Kuroto Family is already a great fortune for the Inoue Family, yet they dare to be so picky, it's simply delusional!"

There was a pause before Kurofuji Ryo spoke, "You don't need to worry about your brother's matters. I had already settled his marriage with the Little Princess of the Matsushita Family. Just focus on completing the task I gave you, and don't worry about the rest!"

After finishing his statement, Kurofuji Ryo looked deeply at Kurofuji Youshun, "If I see you losing your composure like this again, you know what the consequences will be!"

"Yes, Father, it won't happen again," Kurofuji Youshun said with his head bowed.

Once Kurofuji Ryo had left, Kurofuji Youshun lifted his head, his eyes flashing coldly, "No wonder, no wonder! So, Kuroto Youichi had already been promised in marriage to the Little Princess of the Matsushita Family… What a great father indeed!"

The power of the Matsushita Family was formidable, not even weaker than the Kuroteng Family. In comparison, the current state of the Inoue Family was completely at a different level!

This clearly showed that Kurofuji Ryo's care for Kuroto Youichi far surpassed what Kurofuji Youshun could expect!

...

The return of the Little Princess, Inoue Sakura, to Fusang quickly caused a sensation among the upper crust, and even more sensational was that the Inoue Family was preparing for an alliance through marriage with the Kuroteng Family.

"I didn't expect the Inoue Family's luck hasn't run out yet, with this marriage alliance, they could probably hold on for another decade or so!"

"A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. The Inoue Family isn't what it used to be, but their foundation is still not bad! Moreover, it is said that Inoue Sakura is an extremely beautiful woman, her mother, Inoue Kaoru, once known as the most beautiful woman in Tokyo, and her appearance is even more outstanding than her mother's. Lucky guy, that Kurofuji Youshun!"

"Whether it's fortune or misfortune, it's hard to say right now! Haven't you heard that a beautiful woman is a source of trouble? Moreover, that Little Princess from the Matsushita Family..."

...

In the end, Inoue Sakura was to marry Kurofuji Youshun, and after calculations, in four days it would be the perfect auspicious day. Therefore, both the Inoue Family and the Kuroteng Family began to prepare for the wedding intensively.

The marriage between the two great families was originally a very solemn and serious affair, but times had changed.

The Inoue Family was in decline, exactly when they needed the support of the Kuroteng Family. Facing the threat from the Dragon Group, the Kuroteng Family wasn't in the mood for lavish celebrations, especially since it was just Kurofuji Youshun's wedding, not Kuroto Youichi's, so the theme of this wedding was simplicity.

In the Inoue Family, Inoue Sakura sat blankly on the bed while a group of maids held up the wedding dress, "Miss Sakura, please try on the dress so that we can prepare for tomorrow's wedding!"

Inoue Sakura glanced around, her face showing a trace of bitterness, "Put it down, and leave me," she said.

The maid hesitated before replying, "Miss, you really should..."

"I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?" Inoue Sakura's voice grew cold, "Do you think that just because I am getting married, you can disregard me?"

The maids, frightened, quickly set down the dresses and backed out of the room.

Looking at the gorgeous dress on the bed, Inoue Sakura felt an immense pain in her heart. She had once fantasized about wearing a wedding dress and walking down the aisle with the man she loved, but now...
