Contract marriage / a powerful man lowers his head and confesses his love / a love story entangled with schemes / running away while pregnant / old grudges in a new marriage / both leads are romantically inexperienced
Song Jizhi, the much-maligned femme fatale of the legal world, has played Jiang Yan'an's fiancee for three years, always keeping in line.
Until one day, he slides an envelope containing ten million yuan across to her: “This is our last meeting. Find yourself a new job.”
Song Jizhi twirls her hair and straddles his lap. “Mr. Jiang, the secrets I know about your wealthy family are worth far more than ten million.”
He grips her waist and kisses her fiercely. “Actually, they're worth more than that.”
She takes the money and leaves without looking back, only to get a call from her younger brother: “Sis, I hit someone with my car...”
The name on the electronic board outside the hospital's emergency room makes her blood run cold.
Gao Lingyin.
Jiang Yan'an's beloved foster sister.
His eyes turn bloodshot. “Song Jizhi, how could you... let your brother hurt her?”
She asks, “If I tell you I didn't, will you believe me?”
His answer is to walk away without hesitation.
Later, he sends her brother to prison and drives her into a corner.
Until she disappears completely.
Everyone says Jiang Yan'an relentlessly hounded Song Jizhi, turning a girl from humble beginnings into a flower of evil.
Only the two of them know that, despite all the chances she had, Song Jizhi never once chose Jiang Yan'an.
Five years later, she returns to Fancheng as his great-uncle's ex-wife, with a child in tow.
The powerful Jiang Yan'an lowers his head. Whether she is another man's wife or the child belongs to another man, he accepts them both.
All to ask her one question: “Why was it never me?”
She only answers, “I love you very much, but I have to survive.”
Even beneath a bright moon, Jizhi cannot find peace.
