Lunar New Year of the Horse: The Wen Family's Pride Returns

On New Year’s Eve in the Year of the Fire Horse, Xia Zhiting had everything taken from her and was thrown out of the wealthy family. Her adoptive parents said, “You owe the Xia family. It’s time to pay us back.” Her fiancé, Wang Jingxing, put an arm around the real heiress. “Stop bothering us.”

Blacklisted across her industry and buried in debt, she thought the winter of her life would never end.

Then a convoy from the Wen family of Gusu drove into the alley. The famous elder, renowned throughout China, called out to her in a trembling voice: “Granddaughter.”

Meanwhile, at a prestigious Shanghai gala,

Xia Wei pointed to the painting in the center and questioned it in a sugary voice. “This style looks like plagiarism, doesn’t it?”

The spotlight suddenly swung toward the guest of honor.

Xia Zhiting slowly rose and took the microphone. Her voice carried throughout the hall. “Thank you for your interest in my ‘Thorns’ series. I created these works last winter, in the new year of the Year of the Fire Horse, when I lost everything and finally saw everything clearly.”

She glanced at the ashen-faced Xia family and the stunned Wang Jingxing, then announced with a smile:

“The Wen family’s ‘New Flame’ initiative launches today. Also, my legal team will soon release the findings of its investigation into Wang Group’s suspected plagiarism and copyright infringement.”

Back then, you crushed my dreams and called me a fake.

Now I have the backing of a family with a true legacy, and I’m rewriting the rules of the entire industry.
