He is Xiang Yingshang, the world’s richest man with assets worth hundreds of billions. The name “Lord Shang” stands for ruthless cruelty and absolute authority. Everyone in the underworld says, “No one dares speak to him while standing,” yet he gives all his tenderness to Lin Xingmian, the youngest daughter of the Lin family.
She is Lin Wumian, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Lin family. Her grandfather carefully raised her to be her eldest brother’s “shield,” and she now controls the family’s core business, “Heart’s Sorrow.” She is widely regarded as Asia’s haughty legend. She and Xiang Yingshang grew up together, and she loves him openly, but she sees the truth clearly: the whole world knows that Xiang Yingshang’s heart belongs only to her younger sister, Lin Xingmian.
She once thought that if she became strong and outstanding enough, she could one day take her sister’s place. Then came the kidnapping. Their enemies forced the Lin and Xiang families to choose between them, and both families chose without hesitation to save Lin Xingmian. Watching Xiang Yingshang gently lift her frightened sister into his arms, his eyes filled with a tenderness and affection she had never seen before, Lin Wumian finally faced reality: the obsession she had carried for years was nothing but a laughable irrelevance to him. Her existence had always been no more than a background figure he could ignore.
When her love turns to ashes and her pride is ground to dust, Lin Wumian puts all her foolish longing behind her and rises from the depths of despair. The man who once treated her as worthless will eventually taste the bitterness of regret after losing her, and it will be too late to make amends.
