Countless Secret Identities: After Retiring, I Became a Heiress

An accident twenty years ago left Zhao Xueqing, who should have been the heiress to a jewelry dynasty, stranded among ordinary people. She grew up under the care of night-market vendors. When she is finally found and brought home, she is met not with the warmth of family, but with the cold scrutiny of a wealthy clan, constant torment from Zhao Yuxuan, the “sister” who stole her place, and indifference from a grandfather who sees her as a stain on the family name.

Forced to join the design department of the family business, she starts at the bottom as an assistant, shunned by everyone and spending her days with dusty piles of discarded designs. No one knows that this quiet nobody is actually “Crescent Moon,” an anonymous designer whose dazzling talent has taken the jewelry world by storm. She conceals her brilliance and quietly gathers strength until a plagiarism scandal threatens the group’s very survival. Then she unveils her “Kintsugi” collection, stunning the industry and leaving everyone who looked down on her speechless.

But this is only the beginning. Open attacks are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to see. With the staunch support of her close friend Ming Yin and the special attention of Gu Yanchen, the mysterious head of the company, Zhao Xueqing navigates family power struggles and the turbulent business world. She wields traditional crafts, once dismissed as worthless, like a blade, and wears the resilience her humble upbringing gave her like armor. She must not only find a way through the treacherous family battle, but also breathe soul and warmth back into cold, lavish jewelry.

This is a battle over identity, belonging, and self-worth. Watch as a precious gem wipes away the dust, reclaims everything that belongs to her through ruin and rebirth, and ultimately becomes the light that defines the rules.
