Thunder and Shadows, Bright Days Through the Years

Nangong Ting’s life as the head of the Nangong family was a remarkable one. He enjoyed success in both his family and career, and spent the rest of his life with the woman he loved. He thought he would remain happy for the rest of his days, until his sixtieth birthday, when he learned that someone else was the mother of his only child with his beloved, Nangong Qing.

If Nangong Ting’s life were a domineering CEO romance, Helan Zhaozhao would be its undisputed wicked supporting actress. She was Nangong Ting’s childhood friend and the fiancée chosen for him in a family alliance. Once, Helan Zhaozhao was the apple of the Helan family’s eye, a little princess of high society, the celebrated star Zhaozhao of the entertainment world, and the future mistress of the Nangong household. But then her fiancé fell in love with someone else. For that woman, he destroyed her career, her reputation, and even her family. Before Helan Zhaozhao died in disgrace, she left a final message for the man she had once loved, one that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Nangong Ting died by suicide on the third day after his sixtieth birthday, setting himself on fire with hopes for the future. In a life controlled by others, he lost his one true love. Now that he has returned to the time before the so-called outsider took control, he will do everything he can to protect her and their child.

The male lead is not a scumbag. His thoughts were controlled by the female supporting character and the people behind her. He has only ever loved the female lead. In his previous life, even he couldn’t detect the mind control, since the villains had hidden it so well.
