[Second Male Lead Takes the Lead] [Fallen Heiress] [Academic Comeback] [Long-Standing Scheme]
Zhuang Yitian's life fell apart when she was twenty-six.
Her father went bankrupt, their villa was seized, and she went from being the "eldest daughter of the Zhuang family" to the object of ridicule in her social circle.
Her boyfriend of seven years, Chen Yubai, never actually broke up with her, but he had not answered her calls in a week.
She ran into Ji Zhiyue at a government conference.
It took her three seconds to recognize him: the top student who always sat in the front row in high school, completely absorbed in his studies. His black-rimmed glasses were gone, and his school uniform had been replaced by a bespoke suit. His gaze no longer held the evasiveness of their school days. Now he watched her with an intensity that made her back stiffen.
He walked through the crowd and stopped in front of her.
"Zhuang Yitian."
"Do you still remember me?"
Of course she remembered.
But she had no idea he had been waiting ten years for this moment.
