Three years ago, single mother Tang Xiaoya's world fell apart when her best friend, Jiaojiao, died suddenly. Burdened by deep guilt and unanswered questions, she left her boyfriend Shen Yan, who was a police officer at the time, and raised Jiaojiao's daughter, Xiaobei, as her own. Their difficult but peaceful life was shattered when an insurance policy came to light.
With nowhere else to turn, Tang Xiaoya sought help from a lawyer. Old affection and misunderstandings remained unresolved as a custody battle for Xiaobei began. Then shocking new truths about Jiaojiao's death came to light. What had seemed like an accident concealed a vast conspiracy: Jiaojiao's husband, Zhao Fei, and his mother, Meng Hong, had carefully plotted her murder to claim the enormous insurance payout.
Determined to win custody of Xiaobei and bring Jiaojiao justice, Tang Xiaoya joined forces with Shen Yan. His expertise and reliability became her strongest support. The truth about why she had left him three years earlier, out of guilt, gradually surfaced, and the feelings they had buried flared up again amid the crisis, burning brighter than ever.
In the end, the evidence was conclusive, the criminals were brought to justice, and the long-hidden truth was fully revealed. Tang Xiaoya used her courage and wisdom not only to protect Xiaobei, but also to preserve her love with Shen Yan.
The writing is delicate and the story is fascinating. It is a good book worth reading.
