[Sweet romance + revenge on scumbags + face-slapping + groveling redemption + real and fake heiresses + each other’s first love]
Jiang Yue Bai is the real heiress whom the Jiang family takes back years after she was born, but she’s the least welcome member of the family. Her parents and brothers all favor the fake heiress. Even her fiancé promises to spend his whole life with the fake heiress, leaving Jiang Yue Bai feeling like nothing but an unwanted extra.
Father: “We didn’t raise her ourselves, so of course she can’t compare to our daughter.”
Mother: “It’s embarrassing to take her out. If only she weren’t our real daughter.”
Younger brother: “I’ll never call you my sister. Give it up. I only have one sister.”
Older brother: “Jiang Yue Bai, you’re useless, a good-for-nothing. You’re no sister of mine.”
Fiancé: “I never loved Jiang Yue Bai. If I’d known it would come to this, I should have left her to die at the scene of the car accident.”
After she loses all hope, Jiang Yue Bai throws in the towel.
She tears into the fake heiress and kicks her fiancé to the curb. Whoever wants this pile of trash can take it. She doesn’t care.
But somehow, she accidentally catches the eye of one of the most powerful men in the capital.
At a party, laughter and clinking glasses fill the room outside. Her fiancé knocks at the door. On the other side, she’s held in his uncle’s arms, the two of them intimately entwined.
The man’s voice is low. “When are you going to make me official?”
Later, everyone is filled with regret, but Jiang Yue Bai no longer wants their meager scraps of affection. Before she knows it, someone has healed all the hurt and resentment in her heart.
Everyone gets sent to the groveling redemption bonfire, and not one scumbag is spared.
Jiang Yue Bai’s name comes from the line, “Only the autumn moon shines white upon the river’s heart.”
Gu Xilou’s name comes from the line, “When the wild geese return, the moon fills the western chamber.”
In a nutshell: A lovesick fool’s pursuit of his wife.
