She thought marriage was armor. She never imagined it would be a poisoned blade.
Ten years ago, Su Yue and Qu Yuanting built a business from nothing, growing it from a rented apartment into an industry leader. She thought they were comrades fighting side by side, a couple weathering every storm together.
Then her mother-in-law handed her a pregnancy test: a boy, seven weeks along.
That woman wore her pajamas, used her perfume, and slept in her bed. Her husband didn't even know he'd slept with the wrong woman.
She took off her wedding ring, left a divorce agreement behind, and began a life of her own. She thought leaving meant it was over.
But fate has never been kind to good people.
Her ex-husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness, his company was being taken over by trusted insiders, and their daughter's future was in jeopardy. She had no choice but to return to the place where her love had been buried and stand beside him, with little time left, to defend their last stronghold.
And the man she had first loved twenty years ago, carrying unspoken regrets and a long-overdue promise to protect her, stood before her once more.
Two men: one owes her a lifetime, the other has waited half a lifetime for her. But she is no longer the woman who once waited to be loved.
When the splendid robes of marriage crawl with lice, when love is disfigured by schemes, she chooses to mend her own life with her own hands.
This is not a story about forgiveness. It's the story of a woman rebuilding herself from the ruins.
