Determined to change her fate through hard work, Lin Wan, born into humble circumstances, joins the prestigious Shengjing Group. Instead, she faces blatant discrimination, bullying, and the theft of her work. Just as she hits rock bottom, the group’s CEO, Lu Chengzhou, appears like a god and announces before everyone that she is the “one I’ve been searching for for ten years,” pulling her straight into the eye of the storm.
Everyone envies her for supposedly “marrying up,” but only Lin Wan hears his icy whisper in her ear: “Caught you. You’re the little fraud who took all my money and ran off years ago.”
Thus begins a hunt disguised as revenge. Lu Chengzhou keeps her trapped beneath his wing and in his sights, showering her with so-called affection until she becomes everyone’s target. The moment she begins to waver, he wounds her with the “betrayal” of their past. Torn between humiliation and a fluttering heart, Lin Wan vows to uncover the truth about what happened back then.
As layers of buried history peel away and the cruel truth comes to light, they discover that what stands between them is more than misunderstanding and hurt. It is also the cold wall of entrenched class divisions, and a faint glimmer of humanity struggling to shine through. When revenge’s disguise falls away, where can true feelings find a home? Will this grand affair, born in hatred, lead them to ruin, or help them rise from the ashes reborn?
