As I Knelt in Regret Beneath the Torrential Rain, I Was Already a Different Person

The Su family raised her as a useless nobody. To curry favor with the rich, they pushed her into becoming a substitute wife for Lu Shiyan, the richest man in the empire. During their three-year marriage, she was a shadow kept out of sight by the Lu family and a punching bag for the Su family. When her younger sister stole the money she needed to save her life, her parents looked on indifferently, and Lu Shiyan put his arms around his unattainable first love and asked for a divorce, Su Wan’s heart finally died. Driven from the house on a stormy night, she ran her fingers across an encrypted contact list and made a call. Her voice was icy as she said, “Initiate the plan.” The next day, an international hacker alliance crippled the Lu family’s systems, a mysterious organization seized control of the Su family’s lifeline, and a multinational conglomerate announced an investment in China. Every clue pointed to the abandoned Su Wan. When she stood before everyone as the master hacker, head of the organization, and leader of the conglomerate, those who had once trampled on her dignity panicked. Lu Shiyan was pinned to the ground by bodyguards, shouting in humiliation, “Wanwan, come home with me!” The Su family parents knelt in the rain, kowtowing as they begged for forgiveness. “Our precious daughter, Mom and Dad were wrong!” Su Wan looked down at them in her high heels, her eyes holding nothing but indifference. Once discarded, she was now the sky they could only gaze up at. Whether she softens during this groveling quest to win her back is entirely up to her mood.
