Love is a very beautiful thing, but for ancient women, love was out of reach. Because they get married very early, most of them have never even met each other before getting married. After getting married, they can only live with their husbands as guests for the rest of their lives.
Such a marriage is very unfair. They cannot disobey their parents' orders, so they can only marry like this and are not qualified to pursue their own love. And at that time, if a woman boldly showed love to a man, she would be criticized for a long time.
Because everyone thinks that it is a shameful behavior for a woman to do this. But there is a woman who is not afraid of criticism from others and pursues her love bravely. This person is Kong Lingyi.
Miss Kong
Kong Lingyi was born in Shanxi in 1915. Her family was very wealthy, and she had no worries about food and clothing since she was born. Kong Lingyi's father, Kong Xiangxi, was the executive director of the National Government at that time and a wealthy businessman. Kong Lingyi's mother was Song Ailing, a well-known local noble. Song Ailing had a very noble status and held great economic power at the time. Kong Lingyi's parents were both outstanding, and their family was extremely wealthy, so they grew up wealthy.
Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing gave birth to 4 children together, but among these 4 children, only Kong Lingyi looks the most like Kong Xiangxi. The two of them are very similar not only in appearance but also in temperament, so Kong Lingyi He is also the most favored by Kong Xiangxi. Because of Kong Xiangxi's favor, Kong Lingyi developed the temperament of a young lady and spent the best food and clothing, so everyone called her Miss Kong. She is indeed a real eldest lady. She was born in this kind of family and has parents who love her. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the proud daughter of heaven.

She eats a bowl of bird's nest every day, and the snacks she eats must be imported from abroad. , have very high requirements for their own living standards. Kong Xiangxi would satisfy every request of hers, and also invited many people to teach her lady etiquette and various studies.
As Kong Xiangxi’s favorite daughter, Kong Xiangxi had high hopes for Kong Lingyi, hoping that Kong Lingyi could become an outstanding person like herself and achieve higher achievements. Kong Xiangxi is a very good politician who has studied in the United States. Naturally, he will not let his daughter become an ordinary lady.
Talk about marriage
Although Kong Xiangxi wanted his daughter to achieve political success, Kong Lingyi was not interested in this at all. What she liked was singing and dancing. Drawing and calligraphy. Kong Lingyi has a great love for art, and she doesn't take her father's words to heart at all. She has been pampered since she was a child, so she has a somewhat willful temperament. She rarely listens to others and likes to make her own decisions. She is a relatively independent girl.
After graduating from high school, Kong Lingyi went to Lujiang University. She was the only one of the four children who did not study abroad. When she was in school, Kong Lingyi lived in Soong Meiling's home for a while. The time she lived with Soong Meiling made her develop a deep relationship with Soong Meiling. Soong Meiling liked this clever and quirky little girl very much, so she was particularly concerned about her affairs.
After finishing college, Kong Lingyi gradually got older, and by that time it was time to talk about marriage. The Kong family is very famous. As the eldest lady of the Kong family, Kong Lingyi naturally has many suitors. As long as you marry the eldest daughter of the Kong family, it is equivalent to getting help from the Kong family. Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing loved Kong Lingyi so much that they could not just let her marry off casually. They must find a good husband for Kong Lingyi.
Knowing that Kong Lingyi was about to start talking about marriage, Song Meiling also quickly helped Kong Lingyi to look at her, and she must find a good husband for her.
Rejecting multiple men
Song Meiling introduced Hu Zongnan to Kong Lingyi. Hu Zongnan was a young and promising officer who had great power in the army and was deeply loved by Chiang Kai-shek. He was a general under Chiang Kai-shek. Hu Zongnan is very handsome and has a bright future. He is a perfect match for Kong Lingyi. But Kong Lingyi refused. She felt that such a person who led troops to fight could not give her happiness, and there would definitely be no topic for the two of them to be together. Hu Zongnan is a martial artist who only knows how to lead troops in war and does not understand what romance is.
Kong Xiangxi now understood that his daughter did not like this kind of martial artist, so he began to find other candidates for Kong Lingyi.
Not long after, Wei Lihuang appeared. Wei Lihuang was a general, but his wife unfortunately passed away many years ago. Everyone began to match up Kong Lingyi and Wei Lihuang, hoping to get them together.
But after Kong Lingyi knew that Wei Lihuang was much older than her and was widowed early in life, she immediately became unwilling. Wei Lihuang is more than 20 years older than her. How is it possible for her to be with such an old man? Kong Lingyi said that she could never marry an old man when she was so young and beautiful, and decisively refused.
Kong Lingyi wanted to find a young and handsome husband, so Kong Xiangxi fell in love with another person, Sun Tonggang. Sun Tonggang is an excellent pilot, and Kong Tonggang's brother is also a person with a high official position. If they get together, they will be of great help to the Kong family. So Kong Xiangxi introduced Sun Tonggang to Kong Lingyi. But Kong Lingyi was unwilling again. She believed that love was sacred and did not want to be a victim of her father's career, which would tarnish love.
Bold pursuit of true love
Kong Lingyi rejected so many outstanding men, which also made everyone wonder what kind of person this young lady likes. Just when everyone was very anxious about her marriage, Miss Kong suddenly fell in love with a man named Chen Jien. The two met at a dance, and soon fell in love.
When Kong Xiangxi found out, Kong Lingyi and Chen Ji'en were already very much in love. Kong Xiangxi ordered someone to check Chen Ji'en's background and found that Chen Ji'en's family was very poor. Such a family would not only be of no help to the Kong family, but might also require the Kong family to help their family, so Kong Xiangxi was very opposed to it. Despite his objections, Kong Lingyi would not listen to him at all and insisted on being with Chen Jien. Seeing Kong Lingyi's persistence, Kong Xiangxi could only pretend to agree first.
Kong Xiangxi asked Chen Jien to be sent abroad, thinking that this would cut off the contact between the two of them. But what they didn't expect was that Kong Lingyi actually pursued him to the United States. When they received the telegram, they were very shocked because Kong Lingyi and Chen Ji'en had already gotten married in the United States. Now that he had no choice but to object, Kong Xiangxi had no choice but to agree and immediately sent someone to deliver eight large boxes of dowry, hoping that his daughter would not be angry with him.
Kong Lingyi boldly pursued his love, and when others found out, everyone admired her very much. Because Kong Lingyi did something that many people did not dare to do at that time, and it was also because of this that he gained his own happiness.
