Shen Qingci spent three years hiding behind Fu Jingshen, going from a pampered young woman who never lifted a finger to a mere shadow with no claim to his name. When the divorce papers were placed before her, he offered thirty million to buy out her youth, explaining that “the Bai family’s heiress is carrying the Fu family’s child.” She smiled as she signed, tossed her wedding ring into an ashtray, and stepped into the dazzling world of antiques.
The woman Fu Jingshen had once dismissed as a clinging vine could spot a Republic-era forgery at a glance in Panjiayuan and see through a fake Qing-dynasty imperial kiln piece at an auction. When Shen Qingci made a dazzling debut as an antiques expert, Fu Jingshen finally realized what a priceless gem he had thrown away. Turning into a clingy suitor, he chased after her with his entire fortune in hand. “Qingci, I’ll give you everything. Will you marry me again?”
Shen Qingci brushed jade dust from her fingertips and curled her red lips into a faint smile. “Mr. Fu, I charge by the gram for my time.”
After fate took its twists and turns, she ran into the gentle and refined Wen Zhiyan at a teahouse. The moment their two halves of a crescent-shaped jade pendant came together, long-buried memories suddenly awakened: the man before her was the boy who had saved her life when they were young. Just as the two began planning their wedding, a call from the hospital shattered all their hopes. Wearing her wedding dress, Shen Qingci rushed into the emergency room. Seeing Fu Jingshen’s broken, battered body, she could no longer hold back her tears.
On the hospital bed, Fu Jingshen clutched her hand and pressed a diamond ring into her palm. “One last time… please.”
In the distance, Wen Zhiyan’s figure blurred into a silhouette in the morning light. Looking down at the diamond ring in her palm, Shen Qingci suddenly understood fate’s cruel joke: some people are the cinnabar mole in your heart, others are the white moonlight beyond your window. How was she supposed to choose the rest of her life amid the shattered jade and shimmering light?
