[Angsty romance + marriage first, love later + a long road to winning his wife back + showbiz]
The heroine suffers in the first half; the hero suffers in the second.
She is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, yet the least favored. He is the CEO of a publicly listed group. When she first met him as a girl, she never imagined this man would entangle himself with her for the rest of her life.
They meet again as adults. She is tall, striking, and elegant, yet only a little-known actress with a career going nowhere. He wields absolute power and dominates the business world. He makes her pay for the sins and resentments of the previous generation, raising her to become a top-tier star before claiming her as his own. He takes from her greedily, leaving her heartbroken and tormented time and again, in tears and pain.
One morning, after a night spent pleasing him, Yu Yisheng finally leaves this land. What she doesn't know is that after she is gone, he drops everything and searches the world for her, nearly driven mad.
“You have the wrong person, President Chu. Please move aside.”
“You're the one I'm looking for, Mrs. Chu.”
[The hero's goal is revenge, and he has no idea he's fallen for her. He'll have to suffer before he can win her back.]
