[Down-and-out heiress + bidding until the auctioneer turns on every light + long-planned scheme + the second male lead takes the spotlight]
In college, Jiang Huaiyu had forcefully taken her now-husband for herself and paid off his first love with ten million yuan.
But after three years of marriage, the Jiang family fell into ruin, and karma came back to hit her hard.
At an auction, her husband and his first love drove up the price of Jiang Huaiyu’s mother’s keepsake to an absurd level, forcing her to bid until the auctioneer turned on every light in the room.
Only when another man appeared like a god to save the day did she manage to reclaim her mother’s keepsake.
Jiang Huaiyu’s heart turned cold. She smiled at her husband and said, “We’ll settle this in court. I’m divorcing you.”
…
Rumor had it that Fu Huaizhou, the illegitimate son of the most powerful family in the land, was ruthless and had no interest in women. Yet at a charity gala in Yunjing, he was seen with his arm around an elegant woman.
The woman wore a figure-hugging red gown that showed off her porcelain skin and graceful neck, like a rose blooming in the darkness.
She was none other than Jiang Huaiyu, the fallen heiress of the Jiang family.
Fu Huaizhou held her close. “Allow me to introduce my wife.”
Her ex-husband, who had squandered his fortune and no longer had the standing to enter the gala, could only watch their happiness from the shadows in the distance.
