Rumors in the capital’s elite circles claimed that the young lady the Shen family had brought back from the countryside was uncouth and couldn’t even handle a knife and fork. She was destined to become nothing more than a pawn in a marriage alliance. At a Shen family banquet, everyone waited for a laugh at her expense, only to see the girl casually swirling a glass of red wine and smiling lazily at the wealthy socialites surrounding her. “I hear you want to teach me some manners?”
In the shadows, the head of the Fu family, rumored to be ruthless and cold-blooded, fixed his gaze on the lost imperial-green jadeite thumb ring on her wrist. His eyes darkened.
Later, the world’s hidden clans issued their highest-level bounty, searching for their missing little princess.
The entire elite world was in an uproar: the country girl they had scorned was the sole heir standing atop the world’s wealth and power.
