Three years ago, an accident led Shen Nian to sleep with the wrong man.
After that night, she thought she had simply lost control once. She never imagined he was Lu Zhixing, the true power behind the Lu family.
She chose to run, leaving the city with a secret. She gave birth to her daughter, Yueyue, alone, changed her name, and buried everything deep in her new life.
Three years later, she returned to the country.
On her very first day back, she was drawn into the Lu family’s world again.
And the man who had never truly disappeared from her life reappeared, too.
He didn’t question her or expose her. He only looked at the child, silent in a way that made her uneasy.
Because that face could never fool anyone.
Shen Nian thought she could keep hiding.
But as he drew closer, step by step, she realized:
Some secrets, once seen, can never be hidden again.
And some people don’t just “meet” again. They “settle old scores.”
