A carefully orchestrated car accident killed her father and drove her mother mad. Entrusted to her uncle's care, she suffered endless humiliation. Ye Zhixia's life was filled with misery.
After earning her doctorate in medicine, she became the live-in doctor to Shen Hanchuan, the richest man in Beicheng, working part-time to exact her revenge. She used her position to seduce him, but after a passionate night together, she realized she had fallen deeply in love with him.
He, however, was convinced that she was only using him as a tool for revenge.
“Take this money. If it's not enough, I can give you more!”
Humiliated and furious, she bit her lip and retorted, “What do you take me for? Can't you see that I love you?”
He leaned toward her, a hint of contempt in his cold gaze. “As far as I know, plenty of women who seduce men of their own accord say they love them afterward. Women always need an excuse for their desires.”
She left in a fury.
Later, to reclaim her mother's belongings, she was forced to agree to marry another man. When Shen Hanchuan found out, his love turned to hate, and he tormented her in every way.
Then he discovered she was the little girl he'd saved all those years ago. The person he'd been waiting for had been right beside him all along. He began to pursue her instead, even risking his own life for her...
Life is long, and all she wants for the rest of it is to hold his hand.
