When she was seventeen, Lin Zhiyi thought Shen Huaian was her world. The school sweetheart confessed her love under the camphor tree and played and sang love songs at the art festival. She gave up 985 for him, worked part-time to save money, stayed up late to write a business plan, and became pregnant with a child, thinking that love is a sacrifice without hesitation.
Until that rainy night. Seven months pregnant, she was lying in a rental house bleeding profusely. When she called his phone, what she heard was the hustle and bustle of the bar and the charming laughter of a woman: "Mr. Shen, Wanqing poured this cup just for you." After thirty-eight seconds, he hung up the phone. She called an ambulance alone, signed the consent form for surgery alone, and struggled alone in the delivery room until dawn.
After the divorce, she and her daughter lived in a village in the city, working three odd jobs to survive. The night her daughter was hospitalized with a high fever, she rummaged through her pockets to collect the medical expenses, and all she had left was a two-dollar lottery ticket.
Then, that lottery ticket won 3.5 Billion.
She didn't tell anyone. She just quietly bought the "Emerald Coast" hotel that her ex-husband was most proud of, and renamed it "Nian" - that was her daughter's name. When Gu Siyan, the school sweetheart who had a crush on her in high school, opened the door of her office, and when Shen Huaian discovered that the woman he regarded as an abandoned wife had become an industry legend, a hearty counterattack had just begun.
From a single mother who was stepped into the dust to a star that everyone looks up to - she spent half her life proving that a real princess never needs to be crowned by a prince. And the thirty-eight seconds of that rainy night will become the thirty-eight seconds that Shen Huaian will regret for the rest of his life.
