She wasn’t breaking off an engagement. She was setting a carefully planned revenge into motion. Gu Manxi, chairwoman of the Gu Group, appeared cold and aloof, but inside she carried an unsolved mystery surrounding her parents’ car accident. When the Lu family’s marriage invitation came like a sharp blade, she didn’t back down. Instead, she wielded elegance as a weapon and began uncovering the truth one step at a time.
At the engagement banquet, she snapped the jade necklace in front of everyone, letting its beads roll away like a severed snake. But in secret, her fingertips had opened an invisible breach. The chip hidden inside the jade necklace matched the memory card from the day of her parents’ accident, and the “11.7” engraved on the back of an earring matched the date on the card exactly.
The System quietly bound itself to her, and the mission began. Using the “Azure Phoenix Protocol” as her hidden thread, she incorporated unique elements such as biological resonance, scent tracing, and physical keys into her revenge. Every move was as precise as a blade.
From her elegant counterattack at the engagement banquet to the launch ceremony at the Haiqiong shipyard, she wielded “olfactory judgment” as a weapon, driving her enemies to collapse amid familiar scents. Lu Yanzhou thought he had victory in his grasp, never realizing she had laid a trap at every turn.
“The Azure Phoenix has not fallen. The spark still burns.” Gu Manxi made her scars her proof and revenge her offering, pushing the Lu Group step by step into the abyss. This was no simple revenge, but an elaborate counterattack, with intelligence as its blade and heartbeats as its lock.
When the System announced, “Calibration complete. No unlocking required,” she finally understood: true power had never lain in the System. It had always been within her.
