Three years ago, she was the most downtrodden Mrs. Gu in Haicheng.
To raise money for her gravely ill father, Jiang Nian endured three years of Gu Xingzhou treating her as a stand-in for his first love, bearing every slight without complaint. Then, on a stormy night, Gu Xingzhou protected his beloved as she returned from overseas, slapped Jiang Nian in front of everyone, and personally shoved her into the cold rain.
A pregnancy test covered in mud finally extinguished her last hope.
“Gu Xingzhou, I've paid for these three years with my life.”
She jumped from a bridge and disappeared into the rushing river, leaving behind only the shattered remnants of her dignity.
Five years later, she returns as the venture-capital empress who controls a trillion-yuan empire, with a brilliant young hacker prodigy in tow.
At a banquet, the supporting female characters try every trick to embarrass her, only for her to toy with them as if they were in the palm of her hand. She's no longer the timid, refined young woman she once was. Now she can sway Haicheng's economic lifeblood with a casual gesture.
When they meet again, Gu Xingzhou's eyes are bloodshot as he pins her to a corner and pleads in a trembling voice, “Nian'er, come home with me. I'll give you my life.”
Jiang Nian calmly pushes his hand away, smiling with cool detachment. “Mr. Gu, excuse me. The men pursuing me are lined up all the way out to international waters. Who are you again?”
She was once a speck of dust in the abyss. Now she is a blazing sun in the heavens. In this game called love, this time it's his turn to kneel and beg for mercy.
Super beautiful, sad and touching
