The burn scar on her arm was a brand left by him as he protected his substitute. Her mother’s dying regret was the bitterest chill in their marriage. In three years of marriage, Su Qingyuan came to understand Li Jinshen’s coldness and selfishness. In the name of love, he imprisoned her dreams and let his substitute withhold her living expenses, leaving her so helpless that she could not even save her own mother.
One bowl of hot soup extinguished the last warmth between them. One divorce agreement severed every tie. During the five years she spent in France, under Shen Muyan’s protection, she emerged from her cocoon and transformed from a caged bird into a coveted designer in the international jewelry world, writing a triumphant comeback with her “Trick” brand.
When she returned in a blaze of glory, the once-arrogant CEO was consumed by regret and his company stood on the brink of bankruptcy. The one acquiring the Li Group was none other than the man who had stood by her side. Her old love was like ashes after the fire had burned out. The scars remained, but they had forged her into a suit of armor.
This is a story of betrayal and redemption, of ruin and resurgence. Su Qingyuan proves through a lifetime of pain that only by leaving the wrong person can you find the right light. Whatever doesn’t break you will ultimately make you shine with an even sharper brilliance.
