   In the capital city, everyone knew Lu Jingchen, the head of the Lu family, a man of high rank and unparalleled elegance, renowned for his aloofness and detachment from worldly affairs. Countless noble ladies had fallen for him, yet none could sway his heart. Then one day, a private portrait of the Lu family was quietly revealed. In the painting, a cascade of flowing black hair fell onto a brocade quilt, and a pair of slender hands intertwined, their fingers locked in a tender embrace. Instantly, the entire city was abuzz with excitement, eager to discover who this celestial beauty had captured the heart of this aloof and untamed woman. The mystery was finally solved by a white jade thumb ring. Qin Ruyan, the jewel of the Qin family pharmaceutical company, daughter of the late renowned physician Qin Zheng, and owner of the famous "Lingxi" embroidery workshop, stood amidst a grand fashion event, her finger gleaming with a light that perfectly matched the one Lu Jingchen wore! From then on, glimpses of the hidden beauty of Ninth Master's mansion were revealed: Before the morning dew had dried, he would gently tie her hair, inserting a jade hairpin at an angle, his movements practiced and tender, devoid of any of the sharpness he displayed in court. She would be at her desk sketching embroidery patterns, while he sat quietly to the side reviewing documents, the scent of ink mingling with the fragrance of silk threads, a scene of serene beauty. If she ever fell slightly ill, he would personally serve her medicine, testing its temperature and tasting its bitterness, his anxious expression surpassing even the turmoil of a vast empire. People said Ninth Master Lu was cold-hearted, but they didn't know that all his warmth was reserved for one person. The old servants in the mansion often heard Ninth Master whisper, gazing at his sleeping wife, his fingertips tracing the old marks on her wrist: "Eight years of loneliness, fortunate to be reunited. This warmth in my palm, now that I hold it, I will never let go, even in the netherworld."

   Reader note

   In her past life, Meng Xiumin was a "victim" crushed by the times and her marriage: she devoted herself to her husband's household chores and poured her heart and soul into her in-laws, only to be treated coldly during her pregnancy, deprived of the right to see her daughter one last time after childbirth, and even only realizing on her deathbed that the "adopted daughter" she treated as her own was actually her husband's illegitimate daughter with his first love. The novel's most moving aspect is its perfect fusion of the exhilarating feeling of "rebirth and triumph" with the warmth of "maternal redemption." When Meng Xiumin first held the frail Lin Nian in her arms, when she sewed new clothes for her daughter and taught her to call her "Mama," those stolen moments seemed to regain their warmth. Her strategic planning in the business world and her witty counterattacks in family power struggles reveal the astonishing power women unleash in adversity. The book offers both the exhilarating experience of "tearing apart a scumbag husband" and the delicate and moving bond between mother and daughter, while also subtly reflecting on societal changes and gender power dynamics. This is not a simple "parenting story," but a blood-soaked allegory about lies, awakening, and rebirth. It tells us that true redemption is not about making up for regrets, but about breaking free of shackles; true maternal love is not about blind sacrifice, but about protecting the truth with one's life. Open this book, and you will witness how a woman rises from the mud, using wisdom and courage to win back the life that is rightfully hers for herself and her daughter.

    "White Moonlight and Vermilion Mole" On the evening of the Autumn Equinox, a light drizzle fell in Jiangcheng. Lu Han stood before the French windows, gazing at the neon lights blurred by the rain, his fingers unconsciously tapping on his phone screen. The clock struck 8:47. The carefully prepared candlelight dinner on the table had long since gone cold; the three candles were half-burned, their wax dripping and congealing into twisted shapes on the silver candlesticks. "Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..." The mechanical female voice announced the failed connection for the umpteenth time. Lu Han took a deep breath, tossed his phone onto the sofa, and turned to walk towards the dining room. He picked up a decanter, poured himself half a glass of red wine, the deep red liquid gleaming coldly under the light. It was their two-year anniversary. He had taken half a day off, ordered 99 red roses from a florist, decorated the living room with balloons and ribbons, and prepared Chu Ruoyan's favorite French feast according to a recipe. The dark blue velvet box in his suit pocket had been there all day; the diamond ring inside was worth three months' salary. Lu Han took a sip of his drink, the bitter taste spreading across his tongue. He picked up his phone, mechanically scrolling through his WeChat Moments, when suddenly a photo pierced his eyes. Lin Xiaoyu's status update: "My white moonlight is back, someone's so happy they're practically bubbling over~" The accompanying photo showed Chu Ruoyan smiling and raising a glass at a bar. She was wearing a black backless dress he'd never seen before, her makeup much more refined than usual. Beside her, a man in a suit was leaning over, speaking to her, his arm casually draped over the back of the chair behind her. Shen Mo. This name was like a sharp knife, instantly piercing Lu Han's chest. Two years ago, when they had just gotten together, Chu Ruoyan had mentioned this person in a drunken state—her senior from university, whom she had secretly loved for four years. After graduation, he went to the United States, and it was said that she had gone to the airport to see him off, crying her eyes out. Lu Han's fingers trembled uncontrollably. He dialed Lin Xiaoyu's number, the background music almost shattering his eardrums. "Ruoyan is with you?" His voice was terribly dry. "Huh? Lu Han?" Lin Xiaoyu's voice came from near and far. "What did you say? I can't hear you—" "Is Chu Ruoyan with Shen Mo?" Lu Han almost shouted the question. There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. "Um... Ruoyan's phone died. She asked me to tell you... She might not be coming home tonight..." The dial tone exploded in his ears. Lu Han stood in the middle of the living room, suddenly finding the romantic scene he had carefully arranged utterly ridiculous. Roses, balloons, a candlelight dinner, and that laughable ring in his pocket. He mechanically walked to the dining table, picked up the plate of solidified pan-fried foie gras, and smashed it hard on the floor. The sound of the shattering porcelain plate was particularly jarring in the quiet room. At 1:58 a. M., The sound of the door lock turning woke Lu Han, who was pretending to be asleep on the sofa. Chu Ruoyan staggered in, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, the shoulder strap of her black dress slipping to one side. She was clearly stunned when she saw the decorations in the room and Lu Han sitting in the dark. "You're still awake?" Her voice was slightly hoarse from the alcohol. Lu Han stood up, his blood surging in his ears. "I'm waiting for my girlfriend to come home for our two-year anniversary." Chu Ruoyan's gaze swept over the cold dinner and the broken plates on the floor. Her lips trembled slightly. "I'm sorry, I forgot today was..." "You were having so much fun with Shen Mo that you forgot?" Lu Han held up his phone; the screen displayed the photo that pierced his heart. Chu Ruoyan's expression froze instantly. She took off her high heels, her bare feet touching the floor. "Xiaoyu told you?" She sighed. "Shen Mo just returned to the country and invited some old classmates for a get-together. I thought you wouldn't know them..." "Why didn't you answer the phone?" Lu Han interrupted her. "My phone's dead." Chu Ruoyan avoided his gaze and went straight to the bedroom. "I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower." Lu Han grabbed her wrist, the force so strong that she gasped. "You came back at two in the morning, completely drunk, with your 'white moonlight,' and you lied to me saying you were working overtime? Chu Ruoyan, what do you take me for?" "You're hurting me!" Chu Ruoyan broke free from his grasp, a coldness Lu Han had never seen before flashing in her eyes. "Lu Han, can you stop being so neurotic? I was just having dinner with an old friend!" "Old friend?" Lu Han sneered. "The 'old friend' you've had a crush on for four years, the one you still have photos of with on your phone? The 'old friend' you called out by name when you were drunk?" Chu Ruoyan's face turned pale instantly. "You went through my phone?" "Last year on your birthday, when you were drunk, you showed it to me yourself!" Lu Han's voice began to tremble. "Back then, you said it was all in the past, that the person you love now is me!" The air froze. Chu Ruoyan turned her face away, her long hair falling down to obscure her expression. "Lu Han," her voice suddenly became very soft, "we both need to calm down." Lu Han's heart sank to the bottom. He took the blue velvet box out of his pocket and opened it in front of Chu Ruoyan. The diamond sparkled coldly under the light. "I was planning to propose to you today." Chu Ruoyan stared at the ring, her expression complex and unreadable. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed her left ring finger, which was empty. "... I'm sorry." These three words were like a dull knife, slowly and cruelly cutting open Lu Han's heart. He slammed the box shut and turned to walk towards the door. "Lu Han! Where are you going so late?" Chu Ruoyan called after him. He didn't answer and slammed the door shut. The autumn rain was still falling, soaking his shirt and hair. Lu Han stood in the rain, feeling for the first time that two years of relationship could be so easily shattered by a suddenly appearing "white moonlight." Rain mingled with tears as he slid down his cheeks. Lu Han recalled that rainy night six months ago, when Chu Ruoyan worked until the early hours of the morning, and he braved the rain to pick her up. She threw herself into his arms, moved, saying, "The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you." Now, it was the same rainy night, the same waiting, but the ending was so different. His phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. Lu Han pulled it out; it was a message from Lin Xiaoyu: "There are some things Ruoyan will never tell you. Shen Mo was her first love in college, and they never truly broke up." Immediately following was a photo—Chu Ruoyan and Shen Mo kissing outside a bar. Lu Han stood in the rain, feeling the world spin. He finally understood that he had never been Chu Ruoyan's first choice, just a substitute to fill a void. And now, the real protagonist had returned, and it was time for him, the stand-in, to leave the stage. He took one last look at the place he had once called "home," then turned and walked into the rain. Behind him, the carefully chosen diamond ring lay abandoned on the floor of the entryway, like a discarded heart, shimmering faintly in the darkness.

Dusk falls like a veil, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a hazy golden glow over the campus. As students head home, a secret encounter unfolds quietly in the secret room on the second floor of the teaching building. Jiang Che, a young man in a pure white hoodie, leans against the doorframe, a faint smile playing on his lips, like a meticulously crafted ancient painting, yet imbued with a unique modern charm, instantly catching the female lead's flustered gaze.

Their daily interactions are so sweet they're heart-fluttering. When the female lead is troubled by her studies, Jiang Che transforms into a knowledgeable teacher, patiently explaining things; in his free time, he takes her to wander through the corners of the campus, like an ancient gentleman taking his beloved on a scenic tour. And under Jiang Che's protection, the female lead, initially panicked, gradually develops a dependence, and the feelings between them, like spring vines, quietly grow, weaving a unique romance.
