In the bustling city, skyscrapers towering into the clouds stood as symbols of commercial prosperity and concentrated power.
Situ Lingyan, the emperor of the business world, looked down upon the city like a god.
His gaze was cold and merciless, as though nothing in this world could touch his frozen heart.
Situ Lingyan sat in his luxurious office, idly twirling a gold pen in his hand as his thoughts drifted back to the night a year ago that had shattered his heart.
Back then, he was just a young man with a dream, deeply in love with a woman named Fu Xianling.
But when he was at his most helpless, Fu Xianling, afraid he would never amount to anything, resolutely ran off to become his father's concubine.
In a single night, Situ Lingyan's world fell apart.
From then on, Situ Lingyan turned his grief and anger into strength and set about transforming himself.
With extraordinary intelligence and unyielding perseverance, he carved his way through the business world and eventually became its emperor.
Now he had endless wealth and power, but his heart remained lonely and cold.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, Leng Xiyu was going through a turning point in her own life.
A year ago, she discovered her fiance was seeing her best friend. In a fit of rage, she injured her friend, causing her to miscarry.
She paid a heavy price for it, being sent to prison and spending a long, grueling year behind bars.
I love reading these kinds of novels featuring strong female protagonists.
