【Angst first, then catharsis + regret-filled pursuit】
Everyone thought Su Mian loved Lu Jingchuan with all her heart.
As the Lu family's perfect “all-purpose wife,” she cooked for him and put away every bit of her pride.
He brought home his lover to humiliate her, and she calmly prepared birth control pills.
He tore up her designs, and she silently cleaned up the mess.
Until he threw the one thing that could save her younger brother, a protective talisman, into a pot of boiling oil.
This time, Su Mian didn't cry.
In front of everyone, she plunged her hand into the boiling oil. Through the agony of her flesh being mangled, what she pulled out wasn't love, but the ten years of devotion he'd crushed.
“Lu Jingchuan, we're over. Starting today.”
She burned the photos of him as a boy with her own hands and signed the divorce papers without hesitation. Only when she disappeared with her suitcase did he realize that the woman whose eyes had always been fixed on him really didn't want him anymore.
He thought she loved him so much she couldn't live without him, but he didn't know that she had hidden her identity as the top designer “Main” and paved her own way to the top long ago.
He thought she was the one who'd killed his first love, and used every means at his disposal to torment and humiliate her. He didn't know that she was the only light that had saved him from the abyss all those years ago.
When the truth came out, the untouchable president of the Lu Group went mad.
He knelt outside her studio in the pouring rain, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, “Mianmian, can I give you my life in return? Please don't leave me...”
But another man, one who stood at the very top, had already given her all his love.
“Thank you, President Lu, for being blind enough to put this priceless gem in my hands.”
