[Reborn revenge and comeback + treasure appraisal + exposing the fake heiress + ambitious heroine building her career]
In her previous life, Jiang Wu was branded a wicked fiancee, made to take the blame for the Jiang family, and pushed aside so the fake heiress, Jiang Wan, could take her place. In the end, even the jewelry studio her mother had left her, along with her mother's designs and a fragment of her medical lineage, were stolen. Only as she lay dying did she learn that she had been a discarded pawn on someone else's chessboard from the very beginning.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day of the engagement-breaking banquet. The guests waited for her to beg Lu Chenzhou not to leave, while Jiang Wan stood beneath the lights, looking fragile with her mother's necklace around her neck.
Jiang Wu took off her ring and said only, "We can end the engagement, but let's settle the accounts first."
After the jade pendant her mother left her awakened, she could tell real antiques from fakes and see through feigned illnesses and lies. Jiang Wan faked being sick, and Jiang Wu exposed her in front of everyone. The Jiang family tried to swallow her inheritance, so she reclaimed it, item by item. Everyone said she was nothing without the Lu family, so she turned around and founded Mistborn Jewelry, making Gu Shiyan, Xiao Linbai, and Qin Guanlan play by her rules.
Later, Lu Chenzhou came after her, eyes red. "Jiang Wu, give me one more chance."
She closed her ledger and looked at him coolly. "Young Master Lu, you still haven't paid me back."
The aloof young master Lu, who had stood by and watched, finally came to her with red eyes, begging her to look at him one more time.
