In her previous life, Lin Wan was the Lin Group’s only biological daughter, but Zhao Yu, the illegitimate son of the Zhao Group, swindled her out of her money and seduced her for eight years. She was also jointly manipulated by Lin Wei, the adopted daughter she had raised as her own. In the end, Lin Wan lost her family and died a miserable death in the wilderness. Before she died, only Lu Ting, widely known as a playboy, braved the danger to gather her remains. That unexpected kindness was the sole warmth she felt in her final moments.
Reborn, she returned to the pivotal day Zhao Yu came to ask for her hand in marriage. This time, Lin Wan tore off the label of “hopeless romantic,” publicly produced evidence of their affair, and firmly rejected his proposal. She swore to make the cheating man and his mistress pay. Drawing on her memories of her previous life, she planned her moves on the business battlefield with precision, seizing patents and avoiding traps as she gradually drove Zhao Yu toward bankruptcy. She saw through Lin Wei’s act as a “grateful orphan,” exposed her greedy nature, and drove the ungrateful snake out of the Lin family for good.
As she got closer to Lu Ting, she discovered that the man hiding behind his “playboy” reputation was actually the decisive leader of the Dark Night Alliance. A piece of candy he had once offered her at an orphanage when they were children had stayed in his memory for more than a decade. He founded the alliance, pretended to be a womanizer, and enrolled at the same school, all so he could protect her in secret. After missing their chance in her previous life, they were honest with each other this time. Their relationship grew from one-sided protection into a love they both pursued, and together they faced the ultimate counterattack of an international criminal organization.
When the scores were settled and the schemes came to an end, Lin Wan not only protected her family’s honor but also stood at the top alongside Lu Ting. With her new life, she proved that being reborn was never about dwelling on the past, but about rewriting your fate and embracing the people who deserve you.
