Shen Zhaoning spent three years as Gu Jingmo’s secret wife, diligently playing the role of a decorative fixture in his wealthy family.
She shielded him from every storm, only to be repaid with one sentence: “You’re not worthy.”
When her mother was critically ill, she knelt outside the Gu family ancestral hall and kowtowed all night, begging for money to save her life.
Gu Jingmo walked past her with his returned white moonlight in his arms, not even sparing her a glance.
That night, Shen Zhaoning lost their child, and with it, every last bit of her softness.
She slapped a divorce agreement on the table and walked away, decisive and unhesitating.
Later, she built the entire Shen family pharmaceutical empire with her own strength.
When they met again at a banquet, he stopped her, eyes red: “Shen Zhaoning, you took my heart with you.”
She gave a light laugh and brushed past him. “Mr. Gu, you lost your heart a long time ago.”
