In her previous life, Shen Tingwan was Jiangcheng's gentlest heiress. She gave everything to help the scoundrel Lu Chengxuan rise to power, only to be set up by her half-sister Shen Tingyin and die in a sea of flames.
In the final moment, as the fire consumed her, she saw a man charging through the flames toward her. It was Si Hanshen, the most powerful young master in the capital, a man as cold and severe as frost, with whom she had never crossed paths.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back three years in the past, on the eve of her engagement banquet.
This time, she shed her gentle facade and became a rose bristling with thorns:
✔ She called off the engagement in front of everyone and slapped the scoundrel awake
✔ She tore into her scheming half-sister and exposed her stepmother's plot
✔ She reclaimed her mother's inheritance and built a business empire of her own
✔ She made everyone who had wronged her pay in blood
But why did the man who had died for her in her previous life keep appearing whenever she needed him most?
“Young Master Si, are we close?”
“No.” His gaze darkened. “But I've been waiting for you for two lifetimes.”
He cherished her with all his heart, protected her at every turn, and never asked why.
Until one late night, he pinned her against a wall, his voice low and husky:
“Shen Tingwan, I didn't get the chance to say this last time: I love you. This time, you won't get away.”
