On the day of her divorce, a photo of Gu Wan hauling a snakeskin sack while collecting scrap went viral, landing at the top of the trending list.
The whole internet mocked her: “Is Mr. Lu’s ex-wife so broke she has to live off garbage?”
Her former rival laughed at her: “Without Ting Shen, you’re worth less than a dog.”
Gu Wan calmly scanned the code to get paid, keeping her talents under wraps.
Nobody knew that:
The “broken bowl” she casually restored had Palace Museum experts begging to become her apprentices.
The “scrap metal” she bought for next to nothing sold for a fortune at Sotheby’s.
The stray cat she rescued held the AI core of a top hacker.
And the little dumpling she took in was a genius child who would turn the world upside down.
Then one day
A lost national treasure appeared at an international auction, with the restorer credited as Gu Wan!
The top hacker alliance worshipped her as a god and called her King!
The heir to a mysterious conglomerate clung to her leg and called her Mommy!
Lu Tingshen watched his ex-wife surrounded by world leaders on TV, then looked at his own son throwing a tantrum while clutching Gu Wan’s photo. He completely lost it.
With red eyes, he pinned her against the wall. “Wanwan, let’s get remarried! My company and my people can all be your scrap-recycling station!”
Gu Wan raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Mr. Lu, if I recycle you, do you count as hazardous waste or non-recyclable?”
The little dumpling held up a QR code and poked his head out. “Mister, want to pursue my mommy? Scan the code, get in line, and pay tuition first. Daddy Training Classes are enrolling now! (No dads or dogs allowed.)”
