To save her bankrupt family, Wen Shuyi took her runaway sister’s place and married Gu Chenzhou, the ruthless king of the business world.
A contract sealed their three-year marriage. He married her only for revenge.
On their wedding night, he sneered, “You’re just a substitute. Don’t dream of winning my heart.”
She lowered her head and knelt on the cold floor, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, Mr. Gu.”
He humiliated her in public, and she silently endured it.
He brought home the woman he loved, and she willingly gave up the master bedroom.
He scolded her for being too gauche, so she shrank into a corner, trying to make herself as invisible as possible.
Everyone said the second daughter of the Wen family was as lowly as dust, too afraid even to cry out loud.
Then one day, she vanished without a trace, leaving behind a signed divorce agreement and a single message:
“Mr. Gu, the contract has expired. I owe you nothing now.”
Later, the whole city was abuzz.
Wen Shuyi, who once didn’t even own a decent dress, became the most dazzling emerging artist at an international auction, with one of her paintings selling for a fortune.
He discovered the truth.
At the celebration banquet that night, Gu Chenzhou, eyes reddened, cornered her in the hallway. His voice was hoarse and trembling.
“Shuyi, come home with me... I’m begging you.”
But she linked arms with the elegant man beside her and smiled coolly.
“Mr. Gu, please show some respect. My husband might get the wrong idea.”
