She was an ordinary designer who married Shen Yan, enduring cold treatment throughout their three-year marriage. When Gu Shanruo fell gravely ill and needed a kidney donor, Shen Yan told her there was no time to wait for a kidney and made her sign an organ donation agreement. When she walked out that door with the agreement, all she had left was her paintbrush and a bone-deep exhaustion. After the divorce, she stopped being a mere tool for commercial designs. Her private sketches were unexpectedly bought by her ex-husband's older sister, and a touring exhibition soon made her famous. But Gu Shanruo stole and published her signature work first, claiming its signature, story, and concept as her own. She had the original drafts and timestamps to prove the truth. In her response, she didn't need to play the victim; she simply let people see for themselves what was real and what was fake in the designs. He used to sneer that her designs were cheap and laugh at her for taking freelance jobs without ambition. Now, even if he got down on his knees, he couldn't take back her composure and self-respect.
