For three years of secret marriage, I became the perfect shadow of Lu Tingxiao, the CEO.
His heart belonged only to the woman who had saved his life. I was nothing but a stand-in wife bound by contract.
The day his first love returned in a blaze of publicity, I handed him the divorce papers in front of everyone. “Mr. Lu, your stand-in is leaving the stage. I wish you both happiness.”
All I wanted was my freedom. I left with nothing.
He thought I wouldn’t be able to survive without him. He had no idea that the financial account I ran anonymously had already been shaking up the industry.
After the divorce, I became a livestreaming sensation, founded my own brand, and received the full support of Gu Qingci, a giant in the investment world.
When I backed him into a corner at the negotiating table as the CEO of a rival company, he finally realized the truth:
The first love he worshipped was an impostor.
And the ex-wife he had treated like trash was the true salvation he had spent years searching for.
On a stormy night, he threw away every shred of dignity and knelt outside my office building, live-streamed for the whole internet to see.
“Wanwan, I’ll give you my life. Please, just look at me once more.”
I turned and smiled at Gu Qingci, standing gently by my side. “Look at him. He’s like a dog.”
But when Lu Tingxiao took a fatal blow for me and lay dying, I realized that at the end of hatred, there was still love.
This time, should I rekindle an old love or set out for new horizons? In this tale of a man desperately trying to win his wife back, watch him burn with heartache as I rise to the top.
