The day she was sent to prison, Shen Tanqing asked Lu Chenglin, "Did I paint that picture?"
He smiled and replied, "So what if you did? No one will believe a poor orphan like you."
Ten years later, she was released.
Her former fiancé had become a tech tycoon, and her former best friend was living her life as a socialite.
They thought the one coming back was a fallen bird from a cage.
Until the day of Lu Chenglin's company's IPO celebration, when the mysterious controlling shareholder appeared...
Dressed in black, her hair pinned up like a cloud.
In front of everyone, she used the five tones of the guqin to crack his core algorithm, then played the complete recording of the painting's creation from ten years ago.
"No one in this world can steal what's mine."
"Not my life, not my painting, and not your entire Lu family's street."
Later, Lu Chenglin knelt in the rain and begged her to turn back.
Holding an umbrella, she answered with the calmness of someone commenting on the weather:
"Turn back? My path has always led forward."
She is a flower that bloomed inside a prison, turning ten years behind bars into a schoolhouse.
The guqin, ink wash painting, code, and capital are all blades she wields for revenge.
No romance, no love story, only the people who kneel and beg her to spare them a glance.
And the entire Shangcheng, which she conquered with her own hands.
