[Wealthy-Family Revenge + Husband Fakes His Death + His White Moonlight + Rival Takes His Place + He Begs Her to Return, but She Won't]
On their third wedding anniversary, Jiang Mingyue receives not a surprise from her husband, but news of his death.
A yacht explosion. No body recovered.
She forces herself to arrange his funeral and keeps vigil in the mourning hall for three whole days, only to receive a video before the funeral procession.
In the video, Gu Chengze, who was supposed to have perished beneath the sea, is alive and well on a street overseas. He bends his head to protect his pregnant white moonlight, wearing a tenderness Jiang Mingyue has never seen before.
Only then does Jiang Mingyue realize that the so-called accident was nothing more than a carefully planned fake death orchestrated by Gu Chengze.
He left her with 3 billion in debt, allegedly illegal projects, and a company on the verge of bankruptcy. His plan was to let her shoulder it all for him, then return with his white moonlight and child to take over the Jiang family's business.
Everyone assumes Jiang Mingyue will fall apart.
Instead, she turns off the video and straightens her husband's portrait with her own hands.
"If he wants to be dead so badly, then he can stay dead."
That very day, Jiang Mingyue freezes their joint assets, submits evidence that Gu Chengze faked his death to commit insurance fraud, and takes over the Gu Group as its largest creditor.
In the last row of the mourning hall, a man slowly rises and hands her a share acquisition agreement.
Lu Chenzhou, the sworn rival Gu Chengze spent ten years trying and failing to defeat, and the one person the entire Gu family would least want to provoke.
"Mrs. Gu, shall we work together?"
Jiang Mingyue removes her wedding ring and tosses it into the incense burner.
"Mr. Lu, starting today, there is no Mrs. Gu."
