    "A Heart-wrenching Love"—If your heart were ripped out, crushed, and then sewn back on, how would you cope? Jian Tong spent three years learning to crawl, but she couldn't learn to forget Shen Xiujin. The shackles of prison shattered her pride, while he, in a suit and tie, stood outside the iron bars, personally nailing the label of "murderer" into her spine. Shanghai's proudest red rose became the Shen family's most lowly cleaner. When everyone trampled on her blood, mocking "Miss Jian, you're so professional at cleaning toilets," the man who ruined her life spent a fortune on her at an auction: "Strip naked, let me see how much you're worth." "Mr. Shen, you'd trade your life for me." "You dare call yourself worthy?" A classic Jinjiang novel about a wife-chasing saga, a love letter written with shards of glass and heart's blood. He broke her wings but blamed her for not being able to fly, ripped out her heart but questioned why it was no longer burning hot. As Jian Tong crawled through the torrential rain, her crippled leg exposed, Shen Xiujin finally saw the inscription on the tombstone he had carved himself: "My beloved Jian Tong." "You're tainted." "It was Mr. Shen who personally splashed the filth." A scheme within a scheme, a tear-jerking, heart-wrenching love story. From heaven to hell in a single night, from bone-deep hatred to a lifelong, unforgettable love. Readers are advised to have a respirator ready before reading, because who can bear Shen Xiujin kneeling on shards of glass saying, "I'll give you back my knees, you give me back Jian Tong"? "You will always be my Miss Jian." "But my Shen Xiujin, died three years ago."
