Synopsis

[Angst, Everyone Suffers + Revenge on Scumbags]

The moment Jiang Hanyan’s veil was lifted, her happy smile froze.

“You’re not Yun Lei. You’re Huo Yusheng...”

From that moment on, driven by the deep-seated resentment he had harbored ever since his twin brother, Huo Yunlei, framed him in their youth, and convinced that Jiang Hanyan had caused his first love, Tang Yueran, to become paralyzed, the young master of the Huo family, Huo Yusheng, married the woman who was supposed to become his sister-in-law in his brother’s place, and subjected her to inhuman physical and emotional torment.

A twist of fate and a tangled, ill-fated bond. Though Jiang Hanyan survived a brush with death, she was even forced to make her own child pay with its life for Tang Yueran’s child... In the end, to protect the Jiang family and keep the people who loved her safe, she could only obediently return to Huo Yusheng’s side.

She didn’t even want to admit that the secret longing buried in her heart came from the fact that Huo Yusheng had the same face as the man she loved most.

What she knew even less was that Huo Yusheng, who had planned to marry Tang Yueran once she had repaid everything she owed, had already fallen for her at first sight.

Consumed by despair, she was forced to end her life with a silk sash.

But whether in love or hate, in life or death, she was destined never to escape the web of love he had woven around her.

“Flowers that grow high above the ground are meant to be plucked, tucked into a pocket, and slowly crushed...”

The truth came to light... Regretful tears slipped from Huo Yusheng’s eyes, behind the bloodstained gauze.

“I was blind, and this is what I deserve... Hanyan, can you forgive me?”

“No... Huo Yusheng, I will never forgive you. Not in this life or the next, not ever.”
