In her previous life, Su Mingzhao was brought back to the Su family, only to become a foil for Su Lingyi, the fake heiress.
At the family recognition banquet, she was forced to accept an engagement to the Cheng family. Her relatives repeatedly demanded that she be sensible, until even her designs, reputation, and life were taken from her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the night of the banquet.
Everyone expected her to be grateful, give in, and marry Cheng Yuhuai.
Instead, Su Mingzhao rejected the engagement in front of everyone and turned to Cen Jichuan, the man they all feared.
They sealed an alliance with an engagement: she wanted to escape the Su family's control, while he needed her help to break open the Cen family's game.
The fake heiress played weak, the Su family played favorites, and her former fiancé schemed behind a polished facade.
Su Mingzhao didn't cry or beg. She simply reclaimed the evidence, piece by piece.
The original design drafts, a secretly filmed video, a charity gala, a missing phone, sealed surveillance footage…
In this life, she would be no one's daughter and no one's fiancée.
She would be Su Mingzhao, and nothing else.
