Three months ago, on a Wednesday night, Dong Xiaoxiao discovered that her husband, Gu Yuan, who had always loved her deeply, was cheating on her.
That night, she neither cried nor made a scene. She took a scalding shower and changed into the silk pajamas he had specially commissioned for their wedding. He had said she looked best in white, like moonlight. Then she reached into the back of the bedside table and pulled out the bottle of sleeping pills.
But she didn’t die. Since she hadn’t, she might as well live well.
If there was nothing left in this world worth cherishing, she might as well flip the table. No one else deserved to get off easy.
She took out her phone and sent her best friend, Dou Lisha, a voice message:
“Shasha, set me up with someone. Clean-cut, handsome, and charming... I want him to know what it feels like to be betrayed!”
But although Dou Lisha arranged the date, the man who showed up wasn’t some sweet young thing. It was her husband’s uncle, Gu Huaijin.
The Gu family’s “little uncle,” rumored to be a debauched playboy who partied every night, pinned her against the wall of the private room, his breath scorching hot.
“If you want revenge, why not pick someone who’ll get you better results?”
“I’m even cleaner than he is.”
Only after a night of entanglement did Dong Xiaoxiao realize that this seasoned player in the game of love was unbelievably inexperienced.
And Gu Huaijin gazed at her with eyes deep as the night, as if they concealed a past he had kept to himself for years.
She thought this was merely a carefully planned act of revenge, the sharpest blade she could drive into Gu Yuan.
What she didn’t know was that she had long been the only piece on the board he had spent years arranging everything to win.
As old secrets from the wealthy families come to light and love and scheming intertwine again and again, how will this affair that began as revenge end?
And what sordid secret is hidden by the husband she once loved and now hates?
