Shu Yingxia was adopted by the Zhou family and lived with them for ten years.
The Zhous were a wealthy, powerful family that cared deeply about status, and Shu Yingxia endured countless cold stares.
Only Zhou Yuchuan stood firmly by her side, reminding her again and again, “You’re not an orphan. You still have me.”
He spoiled her endlessly.
On cold winter nights, he would leave her a bag of chestnuts roasted in sugar by her bedside.
During her period, he would leave homemade brown sugar and ginger tea there, too.
On her eighteenth birthday, he even hired a citywide drone display to confess his love to her.
After years of knowing and loving each other, Shu Yingxia thought she and Zhou Yuchuan would stay together forever.
But a month before their engagement, Zhou Yuchuan brought home a mistress.
The woman barged into their home, slept in Shu Yingxia’s bed, and mocked her as an orphan nobody wanted.
Shu Yingxia thought Zhou Yuchuan would stop her.
Instead, he merely said, “Xiaxia, she was just joking.”
Zhou Yuchuan said he only wanted to let loose for one last month before getting married, and that afterward he would devote himself to building a life with Shu Yingxia.
He never believed she would leave him.
For ten years, she had held back her sharp edges for his sake, given up her dreams, and made him her whole world.
How could he possibly let go of a girl that devoted?
It wasn’t until Shu Yingxia made him the subject of a social news story at their wedding that Zhou Yuchuan was completely stunned.
…
Later, people said the Zhou family heir cried until his eyes were swollen overnight, then locked himself in the bridal suite day after day, refusing to see anyone.
Meanwhile, at an auction hosted by the Shu family in the capital, Shu Yingxia had just bought jewelry worth forty million.
Dressed in the latest red gown and wearing jade jewelry around her neck, she dazzled everyone. She was the eldest daughter of the Shu family, the one everyone was eager to curry favor with.
When others brought up her past,
Shu Yingxia smiled calmly. “Oh, him? Sorry, we don’t know each other.”
It's very interesting, I like the heroine's character.
