[The forbearing and affectionate heirⅩambitious strong woman]
She used him to get the upper hand, but he pretended not to know. It wasn't until he died that she understood how expensive this "use" was.
Shen Yangling climbed from a small town to the top of the pyramid by turning Lu Yanchen into her "ladder to heaven." Calculate every step, use every resource, and calmly write her business myth.
He saw through all ambitions, yet he leaned in gently and became her most stable stepping stone.
On a rainy night, he asked hoarsely: "Can you climb high enough by using me?"
She fled.
Many years later, when she was standing at the top of her wealth, she received the news that he had died of illness.
In the villa in South France, the walls are covered with newspaper clippings of her life and a stack of IOUs that "do not need to be repaid."
The last one, written in trembling handwriting: "On a certain day of a certain year, Shen Yangling borrowed a hug from Lu Yanchen - but it was not fulfilled."
There is only one postscript: "You have borrowed my power in this life. In the next life, can I borrow a little of your heart?"
She calculated everything, but she failed to calculate that the deep love and compound interest that she did not dare to sign for had already bought her life.
