Jiang Sijun, the queen of Asian haute couture, took charge of a top fashion empire at just 28, only to become embroiled in a plagiarism scandal at the height of her success. Facing malicious smears from a rival, a relentless media siege, and a precipitous stock-price collapse, she has no choice but to shift the spotlight with a carefully planned "proposal."
"If they want gossip, let's give them something even bigger to talk about."
Han Muyan, her childhood friend, appears to be her financial advisor, but behind the scenes he holds the strings of capital. As the crisis escalates, he drops his gentle facade: "Cut off his funding. I want to make sure he can't even get through the doors of the stock exchange."
And Jiang Jinjun, her nominal "older brother," gave up his medical career to protect her dreams, willingly becoming a pawn in her business empire. Between the three of them, is it family, love, or a tangle of interests?
As betrayal and conspiracy follow one another, she wields design as her blade and capital as her shield, carving out a path through the bloody storm of the fashion world.
"I forged this throne of thorns with my own hands, and only I can hold it."
