【Long-planned revenge + the second male lead wins + angst first, then catharsis】
On her daughter’s birthday, Ji Mingshu catches her husband cheating with the woman he’s always loved. She slaps them both.
In return, he demands that she apologize to his beloved online for thirty days.
For the sake of securing investment, Ji Mingshu swallows her pride and apologizes to the entire internet.
【I misunderstood you today and lost control, lashing out at you. Please forgive me, Miss Cen.】
【Thank you for staying by my husband and daughter when I wasn’t there for them. You felt even more guilty than I did as their wife and mother, yet I misunderstood you and hit you. I’m sorry.】
…
Thirty apologies are enough to make Ji Mingshu’s heart go cold.
She decides to divorce him, only to discover that even the daughter she has loved for four years is his and his beloved’s.
Her biological daughter stopped breathing the day she was born.
Even the research institute she founded with her own hands is about to be handed over to someone else by her husband.
At last, Ji Mingshu comes to her senses.
She no longer wants to be Mrs. Shen, and she no longer wants the daughter, either.
From now on, she is Ji Mingshu and nothing else. She’ll make them pay twice over for all the betrayal and pain they’ve inflicted on her.
In Shen Xiaoheng’s eyes, Ji Mingshu is a dependent vine who can’t live without him.
He never expects her to leave just like that this time.
She even abandons the research institute, leaving behind nothing but a divorce certificate.
The next time he sees her, she’s a leading researcher at the Beijing Pharmaceutical Research Institute, in charge of a classified national-level project. His beloved can only work as her assistant.
She has also gone from being an unwanted heiress in a wealthy family to a top-tier heiress adored by everyone.
At that moment, Shen Xiaoheng panics.
He finds Ji Mingshu and gets on his knees, begging her to come back.
Ji Mingshu: “Sorry, I’m allergic to scumbags.”
A powerful man from Beijing’s elite circles stands beside her and declares his claim: “This is Mrs. Shen. Keep your demons away from her.”
