After the auction, Mrs. He decided to stir up trouble and asked Wei Fuyi in front of everyone, "Since Mr. Shen bought the most expensive diamond ring here, Mrs. Shen surely won't bring up divorce again."
Under the weight of everyone's differing gazes, Wei Fuyi looked away from the diamond ring on the display stand, named the "Pink Star," and turned to look at Shen Zhengyan, standing in the distance.
"Mr. Shen bought it for his first love, didn't he?"
"That's all right. I got divorced last month."
A few steps away, Shen Zhengyan was signing the bill with a black card in hand. He seemed to hear something and pressed his lips together.

After her stepsister stole her graduation project, Wei Fuyi, who had been docile for twenty years, went to a nightclub for the first time.
After drinking, dancing, and cursing out her stepsister's fiance, she was taken to a hotel by a man.
Three days later, the woman set to marry into the Shen family of Hong Kong City in an arranged marriage was changed from her stepsister to her.
Her intended was Shen Zhengyan, the most prominent corporate heir in Hong Kong City.
During their ten years of marriage, which began with a pregnancy, Wei Fuyi became the envy of everyone as Mrs. Shen, helping Shen Zhengyan take the family business to even greater heights.
Until one day, Shen Zhengyan brought home a young widow and arranged for her to live in the Shen family's mansion.
Not long after, while pretending to be drunk one time, Wei Fuyi overheard the story between him and the woman.

When Shen Zhengyan heard that Wei Fuyi had filed for divorce with the Hong Kong City court, he didn't take it too seriously.
He knew that Fuyi had done something outrageous back then to get revenge on her stepsister, but he never told her that before that night, he had no intention of marrying into the Wei family.
He liked her occasional rebellious streak. It made her seem alive.
But then his assistant told him that Fuyi had secretly taken their daughter abroad to study and contacted an ex-boyfriend living overseas to discuss dividing their assets.
Shen Zhengyan turned down a deal that was close to being finalized and appeared alone in front of his wife and daughter.

Ever since Shen Li'an could remember, she had been proud of her stern father and gentle mother. She had the best parents in the world.
Until rumors spread around school that her parents had divorced, her father had found a new love, and she would soon have a half-brother.
Li'an was angry and heartbroken. She rushed home to ask her mother if any of it was true.
But through the crack in the bedroom door, she saw her mother sitting on the bed in a silk camisole. Her father was slipping the famous pink diamond ring onto her mother's ring finger.
Her father seemed to say something. Her mother seemed to be sulking at him, turning her face away.
Before the door was blown shut by the wind, Li'an finally heard her father's low voice:
"Go have fun at the nightclub, but don't forget your wedding ring."
