After He Betrayed Her, She Shocked the World

On the day they divorced, Fang Yichen complained that Shen Jingshu’s bare face made her impossible to take out. He flung the divorce papers at her.

She didn’t ask for a penny. She took only the tiny life growing inside her, a secret no one knew.

Three years later, at the International Perfume Awards.

A fragrance named Bound stunned the crowd. Its top notes were cool, crisp cedar, like the resolute figure of him walking away. Its heart was a burning rose, the blood she had swallowed alone on the night she miscarried. Its base was aged sandalwood. The judges wept as they smelled it: “Only a love steeped in the deepest hatred could produce such longing.”

Everyone was wondering who the genius perfumer Dr. Chen could be.

No one knew that this masterpiece, hailed as a legend, had been created by a three-year-old girl.

Shen Zhiyi lay on the laboratory floor, using a dropper to precisely recreate the composition of the air on the day her father abandoned her mother. She held the test tube over her head. “Mommy, I’ve finished mixing the stinky man smell.”
