Zhang Shengming had enjoyed smooth sailing for twenty years. He never imagined he would one day lose everything so completely.
Overnight, the inheritance went to someone else, his beloved turned away, and all his glory was stolen by a “big brother” who had appeared out of nowhere. He was left to wander the streets.
A gentleman may be killed, but never humiliated!
He decided to take a dangerous gamble and seduce his big brother's immediate superior. Fortune finally seemed to favor him: Gu Fengyuan's gaze lingered on him, and before he knew it, he had fallen deep.
Until he saw the old photograph tucked away in the depths of the study.
The young man in the photo had a strikingly familiar face. The two of them were pictured with their arms around each other, yet the date on it was from before they had ever met.
