Lin Changqian spent the first half of her life walking on thin ice: mistreated by the Lin family, betrayed by the man she loved, and repeatedly targeted for murder while pregnant, she came close to death again and again. She thought her life was nothing but dust, until a seven-year-old boy she rescued from a kidnapping by human traffickers changed her fate forever.
He was the young master of one of Kyoto's most powerful families, missing for many years, and the strongest support she would ever have. Even more shocking, she wasn't an unwanted daughter of the Lin family at all, but the legitimate daughter of the Si family, lost to them for twenty years.
When she took the name “Changge” and stepped onto the international fashion week stage, shining brilliantly, a ruthless twin sister with a face identical to hers suddenly appeared, intent on stealing her identity, her child, and her life.
After enduring conspiracies, kidnappings, false accusations, and life-or-death ordeals, she finally understood: passionate love can wound deeply, but quiet, steadfast devotion is where one truly belongs.
She chose to marry the gentle Gongsun Maiyuan, who had been waiting faithfully for her, and found peace for the rest of her life.
Ming Dingzhi, who loved her deeply but could never protect her, could only watch their son grow up from afar. In the end, he gave his life to clear the final stretch of her road to safety.
In this life, she rose from the mire and became her own sun, finally treated with kindness by the world!
