At her engagement party, Su Qingyue looked at her gentle, considerate fiancé and her beaming best friend. Memories surged over her like a tide, not of a hopeful future, but of the horrific end of her previous life: after five years of devotion, her family fortune was stolen, her father was driven to his death, and she herself died tragically in the street. The culprits were the very couple standing before her.
“I’m calling off the engagement.”
She tore away their masks of kindness in front of everyone, exposing their collusion and schemes to steal her family’s assets. Then she ripped off her expensive dress, threw it in the scumbag’s face, and walked barefoot out of the hotel. This time, she would live for no one else. Love may let you down, but money and fists won’t.
Armed with memories of her previous life, she strode into the turbulent business world. Everyone laughed at her naivety, waiting for the heiress to come crying home. Instead, she moved decisively into every new opportunity, turning her rivals’ schemes into stepping stones. Her ex and his new lover joined forces to strike back? She answered with a devastating business blow. The family company was beset by problems inside and out? She swiftly purged the parasites and took firm control of the board.
But as she defied fate, the course of her life began to crumble. New enemies surrounded her, company secrets kept leaking, and her father’s old illness flared up again from worry. More troubling still was the mysterious investor who always appeared in times of crisis, yet whose loyalties remained unclear. What was his real goal?
This is a revenge story with no way back. There will be no love to save her, only the empire she builds with her own hands and the family she must protect.
