Happy Ending | One True Couple | Age Gap
"Your birth chart brings misfortune to your family. Send her away."
With those words, Shen Jiarou fell from being the Shen family's second daughter to a wild girl in a fishing village.
Fifteen years later, she was brought back because they "didn't want outsiders to laugh at them again."
From the prestigious girls' school to the University of Hong Kong, she earned enough scholarships, because they were her only way out.
Zheng Tingjun returned from London, born to a powerful family. He never thought he would give a second glance to an illegitimate daughter like her.
Until that breathtaking glimpse.
At the banquet, crystal chandeliers cascaded overhead, and the champagne tower sparkled. Yet Zheng Tingjun's thoughts kept wandering. Someone raised a glass and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zheng, waiting for someone?"
He didn't answer. He set down his glass and turned into the depths of the corridor.
Later, he seized his chance to propose, only for her to ask, "Mr. Zheng, what makes you think I'll say yes?"
He looked down at her, a hint of a smile on his lips. "Because you can't escape."
Their wedding took up half the headlines across Hong Kong Island. Some said she was lucky, others said she had secured her future by getting pregnant. But no one saw that she was already brilliant and strong in her own right.
