Give Me Half a Lifetime of Recklessness

At twenty, Shen Yutang married Lu Siyan, the most distinguished man in all of Jiangcheng. She gave up her spot in a postgraduate recommendation program for him, cooked for him, and endured the cold stares of his family. She thought sincerity would be met with sincerity. At twenty-three, Lu Siyan's first love returned from overseas. He handed her the divorce papers himself, his tone flat. “Sign them. Don't make this uglier than it needs to be.” She signed. Everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself. But no one knew that after leaving the Lu family, Shen Yutang reopened a folder she had kept sealed for years. Inside was a secret capable of turning the entire Jiangcheng business world upside down. She was “J,” the mysterious figure who had turned down an offer from a top investment bank and disappeared three years ago. And as her identity was revealed layer by layer, the first person to lose his mind was the man who had pushed her away. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
