On the night she marries into the family as a substitute bride to bring good fortune, Gu Qingying receives a written agreement: no public acknowledgment of their relationship, no going up to the third floor, and an automatic divorce after three years. Everyone laughs at her as the unwanted daughter cast aside by the Gu family, married to a sick man who won’t live three years. Even the servants dare to serve her cold leftovers.
She signs with her head bowed, playing the timid substitute. But no one knows that behind an old computer late at night, she is Zero, the hacker who makes the dark web tremble; a mysterious doctor who can bring the dead back to life; and Ms. S, the woman European conglomerates have been desperately searching for.
Then the Mo Group faces a devastating crisis, its technical team begs for the decryption key, rival companies are crushed by mysterious investors, and the male lead’s chronic illness is cured by a masked doctor. Every clue points, impossibly, to the “bride brought in to bring good fortune,” meek as a lamb and confined to the guest room.
Mo Tingchen tears up the divorce agreement and corners her in front of the servers flickering in the basement. A storm unlike any before churns in his eyes. “My wife, just how many secret identities do you have?”
She simply wipes the blood she got on her hands while saving him and looks up with a faint smile. “Mr. Mo, how about we start by discussing your family’s laboratory and its connection to my mother’s death?”
Unmasking her secret identities is only the beginning. Her true purpose in returning is to tear through the darkness of a wealthy family’s false virtue.
