[Pampered Wife, Punish the Scumbag, Find Someone New, Never Look Back, Romance-Focused] Her mother was gravely ill, and it was Madam Huo who paid to save her life.
There was only one condition: she had to stay with Huo Jingyan, satisfy him, and keep him from fooling around outside, because those other women were dirty.
So she went from being the daughter of a housekeeper to the little servant closest to Huo Jingyan, and the cheapest one at that.
For eighteen years, from elementary school until she went abroad.
But then he said he was tired of her, turned around, and put his arm around a younger, more delicate new flame, humiliating her in front of everyone.
This time, she didn't beg pathetically. She stood up and left, then disappeared from City A that very night.
In a private room, he casually stubbed out his cigarette in front of his friends. "Eighteen years and I still wasn't tired of her. You'd have to try it yourself to understand."
Everyone bet she wouldn't last three days.
He sneered. "She can't live without me. She'll come crying back and beg me before long."
But three days passed, then three weeks, and she was still nowhere to be found.
In the third month, he finally called her in the dead of night, still speaking from his usual lofty position. "Jiajia, if you're done playing around, come back. I won't hold it against you."
There was a brief silence at the other end.
Then a man's low, husky chuckle. "Mr. Huo, she's in the shower. Calling so late, do you really not know she's in my bed?"

Le Sijia is the woman Sheng Xu has kept in his heart, his unattainable first love. Back then, he was only the son of a nouveau riche family, and had endured nothing but disdain as a boy. She was the only one who showed him warmth. But her eyes were fixed solely on the young heir of the Huo family.
Later, he learned he was the eldest son of the Sheng family, switched at birth. At last, he had the standing to face her, only to discover she'd already gone abroad to live with that man.
When they meet again, she's just broken up with him and is drunk, insisting on taking Sheng Xu back to her room... This time, Sheng Xu is determined to win the place in her life he deserves.
