Twenty years ago, the man Zhou Yufang loved deeply married another woman. At that wedding, she smiled and sent blessings, but the seeds of hatred were planted in her heart.
Twenty years later, that woman's daughter Chen Xuerou became her adopted daughter, and she personally promoted her son Shen Ziheng's marriage.
This is a carefully designed revenge - she wants to raise her enemy's daughter into a docile lamb, and then personally deliver it into the mouth of the "devil" she created. She wants to use this girl's tears to pay tribute to her lost youth; she wants to use her pain to heal the scar in her heart that will never heal.
Shen Ziheng is the sharpest knife in this chess game. He was molded by his mother into a man who doesn't understand love, is cold-blooded, shrewd, and treats women like playthings. He agreed to marry Chen Xuerou only in exchange for the equity of Shen Shipping.
Chen Xuerou knows nothing. All she knew was that from the moment she stepped through the door of the Shen family at the age of eight, there was only one person in her world. She had been dreaming for twelve years and finally married the person she loved most. She thought this was the beginning of happiness, but she didn't know that she had just walked into a cage set by others.
On their wedding night, he turned his back to her and fell asleep.
Three months later, she saw him having sex with another woman.
And the "mother" she trusted the most was standing in the dark, smiling and waiting for the day she collapsed.
——When the truth was revealed, she realized that she was just a pawn from beginning to end.
But the most ironic thing is that she still loves the person playing chess even though she knows it is a game.
