For twenty years, Shen Yun Zhao has been the least favored adopted daughter of the Shen family, scraping by in the shadow of Shen Yuyao. Then she unexpectedly discovers that her biological father is none other than the family’s most feared rival: business tycoon Gu Huaizhi. The day the truth comes out, her adoptive parents and Shen Yuyao plot against her, strip her of what little value she has left, and throw her out of the house.
Just when she has nowhere left to turn, Gu Huaizhi appears out of nowhere and takes back the daughter who has been living away from him for twenty years. After reuniting with her birth family, Shen Yun Zhao transforms from a timid adopted daughter into the apple of the Gu family’s eye. Armed with the ticket to the business empire her biological father left her, she uses decisive tactics to enter the family’s inner circle and drives Shen Yuyao, the Shen family’s legitimate daughter who once looked down on her, to the brink of ruin.
Yet the struggle for power within the Gu family is far more brutal than she imagined, and her adoptive parents’ schemes are far from over. Just as Shen Yun Zhao thinks she can secure her place as heir, an even greater secret comes to light. Her origins are bound up in a blood feud and tangled interests spanning thirty years and two powerful families. Amid the shifting currents of aristocratic conflict, Shen Yun Zhao must use her intelligence and skill to reclaim everything for herself and her father.
