Su Ruan was a wealthy heiress, innocent and hopelessly lovestruck. Her stepsister Su Manni and the scumbag Gu Yanze conspired against her, killing her parents, swallowing up her company, and leaving her to die on the street. Only in her final moments did she see the true faces of all those who had betrayed her, filled with regret and resentment. Reborn at eighteen, she transformed: gentle and perceptive on the surface, but calm and ruthless beneath, with a meticulous mind and a talent for turning others’ strengths against them. She understands business strategy, using her memories of the future to seize opportunities, and knows how to read and manipulate people. Her driving purpose is to protect her parents, make the traitors pay dearly, and realize her own worth.
Lu Shiyan is heir to a top-tier wealthy family. He appears to be a low-profile architectural designer, but in truth controls a business empire spanning real estate, dining, and new media.

This time, he makes his plans early and protects her, becoming the heroine’s “hidden backer.”
