Everyone said that the Lu family saved Shen Zhiwu.
But she later learned that the "salvation" on that snowy night was just a game of chess from the beginning.
When she was seventeen years old, her father died mysteriously and her mother became seriously ill. She was picked up by the Lu family. The Lu family gave her a roof over her head, money for medicine, and dignity. They also gave her debt, silence, and the truth she could never tell.
She once regarded Lu Wenjing as her only light, bowed her head, was sensible, and liked him for many years.
It wasn't until the old recording was opened that she discovered: her father did not die out of disorder, her mother's medicine was not kindness but a rope, and she herself was just the most docile chess piece in the Lu family's old case and inheritance narrative.
Three years later, Shen Zhiwu returned reborn.
Following the recordings and old files left by her father, she tore apart the silence system of the wealthy family step by step, reversed the case for her father, cut off the shackles for her mother, and sought justice for her seventeen-year-old self.
And Lu Wenjing, who had hurt her the most with her coldness, finally fell from the altar.
Later, on a snowy night, he begged her with red eyes: "Zhiwu, don't let me go."
But Shen Zhiwu only looked at him and said calmly: "Lu Wenjing, I was saved by you, but I was not the person you bought."
