[Cool, resilient painter vs. ruthless power player, a heroine who grows into her strength + an unhinged second male lead chasing her after losing her + an ascetic, guiding tycoon]
Lu Qingyan entered the Gu family with her mother as a child, and spent five years in a secret relationship with Gu Huaixi, the heir.
He spun an illusion of love for her, then destroyed everything she treasured for another woman.
That night, when she was humiliated beyond bearing, she finally gave up on him.
Everyone said that if Gu Huaixi so much as whistled, Lu Qingyan would come crawling back to him, wagging her tail.
Instead, she turned around, secretly pledged herself to a powerful man in the capital's elite circles, and quietly brought down the Gu family along the way.

Lu Qingyan's fiancé, Huo Shaoting, is rumored to be ruthless, a man who controls both the underworld and the legitimate world with one hand.
She knows that someone as illustrious as him could never be matched with a woman whose reputation is in tatters.
So she buries her ambition deep, talks business instead of love, and climbs higher by seizing the opportunities he places in her hands.
He gives a faint smile, waiting for her to reveal her fox's tail in this glittering world of wealth and fame, so he can claim her for himself.
But then she becomes a runaway bride. The proud power player loses his composure, while the treacherous man who betrayed her is left filled with regret...
