[Women supporting women + heroine’s revenge + rise to power + one-on-one romance + groveling pursuit]
Six years ago, just as Jiang Shengsheng’s mother fell gravely ill, the family business nearly went bankrupt. Her scumbag father cheated on her mother, and her brothers took his side. Her first-love boyfriend’s mother even used her mother’s illness as leverage, waving a check and forcing Jiang Shengsheng to take her mother abroad.
Six years later, her former boyfriend had become a trillion-yuan CEO, feared and courted by everyone, living a life of endless glory. She, meanwhile, had lost her mother and returned home gravely ill, seeking revenge and a chance to survive.
Back in her hometown, everyone mocked her for mistaking a fish for a pearl and losing her chance to become the CEO’s wife. He even paraded a string of stand-ins before her to provoke and hurt her, punishing her for cruelly abandoning him all those years ago.
Everyone watched for a laugh, waiting for her to break down.
But she stubbornly seized every opportunity, guiding him to uncover the truth for himself and making him feel consumed with guilt. She reclaimed everything that should have been hers, stepped on his shoulders, and became someone no one could afford to ignore.
Years later, the man, heartbroken with regret, looked at the charming and radiant CEO Jiang, his heart trembling.
“In my heart, Shengsheng, you have always been my one and only wife.”
Jiang Shengsheng smiled brightly without replying, then turned to look at the sun rising in the distance.
“Love shouldn’t be the only thing in our lives.”
