The Warm Glow of Ashes

In her previous life, Shen Zhiwei was the cherished legitimate daughter of the prestigious Shen family. She trusted wolves in sheep’s clothing and gave her heart to the wrong man. Her devoted fiancé, Pei Jingchen, joined forces with her smiling, treacherous stepmother, Su Wanqing, and her hypocritical, fragile stepsister, Shen Ruoyao. Together, they drained the Shen Group from within and without, drove her father to his death, destroyed everything she had, then imprisoned and tortured her before pushing her from a high-rise, leaving her to die with a heart full of hatred. Only as she lay dying did she learn the truth about the man she had treated like a monster and repeatedly avoided: Lu Chengyu, the powerful, aloof, taciturn head of the Lu family. He had silently protected her all her life, even sacrificing half his life to save her, only to die at the hands of her enemies. Reborn in a single moment, she returned to the age of eighteen, before any of the tragedies had begun.
