The fate of a hopeless romantic is to be framed by a scoundrel and his illegitimate daughter, then lose her family and everything she holds dear.
On the brink of death, Lin Zhiwei finally learns that love and family were nothing but a means to an end.
When she opens her eyes again, she is back on the day her family pressures her into a marriage alliance to save them from ruin.
To hell with marrying into a wealthy family, and to hell with that scoundrel who still pines for his first love!
Reborn from the ashes, she watches the schemers and fiends with cold eyes.
With one hand, she exposes her hypocritical fiancé’s plot to take over her family’s business. With the other, she crushes her tea-sipping younger sister’s dreams of stealing the spotlight.
And while she’s at it, she uses her memories of her past life to plan her next moves, buy up land, invest, and quietly make a fortune.
The family that once cast her aside now begs her to return and take charge.
The rivals who once looked down on her now kneel and plead for mercy.
Just as she reaches the top of the rich list, the mysterious heir to the Zhou family of Hong Kong Island corners her backstage at an awards ceremony and says in a low voice:
“President Lin, we’ve been working together for a while. Don’t you think it’s time we discussed… a more personal reward?”
