For ten years, Shen Weixi has been known in their circles as the “perfect supportive wife.”
Her husband Lu Zhi's tech empire goes public to great acclaim, and the media praise him for marrying a wife who “never distracts him.”
Only Shen Weixi knows the truth:
She built 90 percent of Lu Zhi's business network herself, masterminded his key decisions behind the scenes, and even the “investment acumen” he prides himself on is nothing more than a plan she set in motion ahead of time.
Until the night of the celebration banquet, when she overhears him in the parking lot:
“Her? She's just a trophy wife we need to get rid of.”
With his young mistress in his arms, Lu Zhi plans to mortgage her mother's old house to buy an apartment for his new lover.
Shen Weixi takes off the pearl necklace he bought with his supposedly “uncanny taste.”
It was a memento of the first fortune she helped him make with insider information.
Three months later, Lu Zhi's empire begins to crumble in a chain reaction:
Patent infringement lawsuits, triggered betting agreements, his entire network turning against him, and evidence of asset transfers surfacing at the disciplinary inspection commission...
Eyes bloodshot, he storms into her art gallery. “Shen Weixi, was this you?!”
Standing before the new business empire she built with her own hands, she raises her glass with a smile:
“Mr. Lu, it's been ten years. Surely you didn't really think...”
“That a Stanford business school genius would be content to play nothing but your supportive wife?”
