Cordelia, eldest child of the Gu lineage, spent a decade as a monk to honor her Buddhist beliefs and earn merit for her late mother. She supported two sons financially. On their graduation day, when her family planned to reclaim her, Cordelia arrived to pay respects. Aldric, arrogant and dismissive of his mother's piety, spat on her, belittled her poverty, and boasted about his wealthy girlfriend. Reginald attempted to intercede, but was scorned along with her. The crowd mocked her, leading her to despair and leave. Just as the Gu Group's vice president arrived to escort her home, a crisis arose: a missing shipment of valuable herbs.
