[The groveling ex gets his comeuppance + the substitute turns her life around + two strong leads + a clever heroine]
On the day of the substitute wedding, Gu Huaishen tossed over a secret marriage agreement: no going public, no asking questions, no touching. “Everyone’s only in it for the money,” he said.
Shen Weilan signed without telling him that she was signing a contract, and securing the trump card she would need to turn the tables later.
His first love returned from abroad, the Shen family humiliated her, and the secret marriage reached its end. She handed him divorce papers and walked away. He tore them up and knelt in the rain, begging her to turn back. “Gu Huaishen, affection that comes too late is worth less than grass.”
She brushed past him beneath her umbrella without looking back.
During the post-divorce cooling-off period, she founded Lansheng Pharmaceuticals and snatched a Gu family project for herself. When the Gu family hit hard times, she swooped in at the last moment with an investment and saved the day. At the celebration banquet, he knelt before the entire industry and offered her half the Gu family empire.
“My life, my heart, my entire fortune, they’re all yours. Give me a chance to win you back.”
