The betrayal on the night of her engagement cuts through three years of tenderness like a poison-coated dagger. When eight million in public funds vanish without a trace, and a forged signature plunges her into the abyss, Lin Xi finally sees the fangs of the man who shared her bed. The man who swore to protect her had already laid a trap, intent on swallowing up everything she and her father had left behind.
Under flashing police lights, she takes off her high heels and walks barefoot through a maze of mocking and pitying stares. The unfinished engagement ceremony beneath the spotlights is not the end. It is the first move in her game of revenge.
Her stolen dignity, her family's fortune seized, her trust trampled... Lin Xi clenches the wound in her palm, a wildfire blazing in her eyes. Chen Zimo, this hunt in the name of love is over. Now I make the moves.
When a hothouse rose of the past becomes a thorned blade, who will have the last laugh?
