Shen Nanxing is betrayed by her fiancé, Gu Beichen, and her best friend, Meng Yao. In prison, she learns that Gu Beichen orchestrated the deaths of her twin children, making them fall from a high-rise. At death’s door, she remembers that their father was none other than Lu Hanyuan, a powerful figure in the capital’s elite circles. Gu Beichen framed the Shen family and destroyed everything she had just to take revenge on Shen Nanxing’s grandfather. Shen Nanxing uses the Turtle-Breathing Technique to fake her death and escape. Burning with hatred, she is reborn as Wall Street’s “female devil,” Bai Fuya.
Three years later, Bai Fuya returns with Goldstone Capital. She lures Gu Beichen into a trap, humiliating him repeatedly in public before using the Gu Group’s bankruptcy crisis to make him a pawn in her revenge. At the same time, she deliberately reveals items connected to Shen Nanxing, such as a bracelet and paintings, intensifying Lu Hanyuan’s pain and regret and forcing him to confront his true feelings. She drags Lu Hanyuan into a “wedding of the century,” using the Lu family’s influence to crown herself and taking control of Lu Hanyuan’s Nanxing Media, crushing his last hope of ever seeing Shen Nanxing again.
However, just as she publicly “tries” Gu Beichen and forces Lu Hanyuan to submit, Bai Fuya receives a mysterious warning: an even more powerful force, a “shark” lurking behind Gu Beichen, is pulling the strings. At the same time, she happens to bear a striking resemblance to the late mother of Lin Huailu, president of the reclusive Lin Group in the capital’s elite circles. The resemblance catches Lin Huailu’s attention, and a mysterious invitation and probing overtures from the Lin family soon follow.
By the end of the story, Bai Fuya succeeds in marrying into the Lu family, turning Lu Hanyuan into a “puppet” under her control and utterly defeating Gu Beichen and Meng Yao. But as she comes face to face with the Lin family’s deeper power and secrets, her path of revenge is only just opening onto a grander stage.
