Gu Zechuan is the only son of a crime boss.
A playboy who loves nothing more than winning people's sincere affection, only to trample it underfoot.
But at the age of twenty-four, he willingly gave up his wild ways and married Sang Yanning, who was only a waitress at the time.
Everyone said he loved her more than life itself, and Sang Yanning believed it too.
Desperate to earn his father's approval, she risked her life working for the Gu family, again and again teetering on the brink of death.
She thought that if she did all that, she and Gu Zechuan could be together forever.
Then, two months ago, Gu Zechuan's long-lost true love, Mu Wanwan, returned. She was gravely ill and had little time left.
Only then did Sang Yanning realize that their eight years of love had been nothing but an illusion.
She was nothing more than a pitiful stand-in.
But she refused to admit defeat.
Not until she saw her mother's corpse, covered in wounds from a wild animal's attack,
Did she realize she had lost completely.
