[Reborn + marriage first, love later + two strong leads turning the tables + power and affection in Beijing’s elite circles]
In her previous life, Lin Wanqiu was sent by her family as an exchange “gift” to Lu Chenzhou, the notorious, volatile king of Beijing’s elite circles.
She lived in constant fear of making a misstep, yet in the end her family abandoned her, and she died miserably after falling gravely ill.
When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the day she was sent to the Lu family in their private car.
This time, she will no longer be a helpless vine for others to manipulate.
Under the man’s unfathomable scrutiny, she hooks a finger around his tie and smiles brightly. “Mr. Lu, shall we make a deal? I’ll clean house for you, and you’ll give me a brilliant future.”
At first, everyone in Beijing’s elite circles laughs at Ninth Master Lu for marrying a pretty ornament with nothing else to offer.

Using the memories of her previous life, she turns rocks into gold and shakes up the stock market;
The qipaos she designs take overseas markets by storm, becoming a calling card for Chinese culture;
And with an iron hand, she sends the uncles who framed him to prison one by one...
Only then do they realize that the woman Ninth Master Lu keeps pampered in his private villa is no canary. She is an eagle capable of soaring into the skies alongside him.
One night, he pins her against the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, the city is ablaze with lights; in the glass, he sees her reflection.
He kisses her earlobe, his voice husky. “Mrs. Lu, I’ve given you your brilliant future. Now, isn’t it time we talked about... my reward?”
