At her engagement banquet, the “Miss Gu” who was raised by the family for twenty years is publicly revealed to have been switched at birth. Her engagement is called off, and she’s cast out of the wealthy family.
The whole city is waiting for Gu Shiwan to cry.
In her previous life, she did cry: she broke down in tears under the spotlight, helping the Gu family spin the story of the switched-at-birth scandal. Then she died mysteriously in a car accident on a rainy night.
This time, she opens her eyes that very night to find a call from an unfamiliar number on her phone: Huo Yanshen.
The Gu family calls him their “business rival” and “mortal enemy.” He’s a rising financial tycoon and a ruthless player in the world of capital.
The man’s voice on the other end of the line is calm. “Since the Gu family has cast you aside, why not join their opposition, through marriage?”
So, after the engagement is called off, she turns around and marries the Gu family’s enemy in a flash.
The whole city is waiting for her to cry, but she gets her marriage license first.
On the surface, it’s a marriage of convenience where they each get what they want:
She uses his power to go from the butt of the wealthy elite’s jokes to Mrs. Huo.
He uses her status to improve his image as a “ruthless capitalist.”
No one knows she has returned with memories of her previous life.
The car accident, the “special children” memo, that candlestick on the Gu Group’s stock chart, the money repeatedly flowing through shell companies...
This time, she has no intention of playing the story’s leading lady while others push her around. Armed with every old score, she’ll settle them one by one.
From the engagement press conference to turning the tide of public opinion, from firing back with a lawyer’s letter to playing a recording at the shareholders’ meeting,
from “the fake heiress was cast out” to “the capitalist’s wife flips the table herself,”
Gu Shiwan uses the memories of two lifetimes and the choices she makes in this one to tell everyone waiting for her to cry:
She’ll never put on a breakdown for anyone again, and she’ll never let anyone else decide how her story ends.
