At seventeen, Nan Wanyin's life had been tightly bound by the words "family friends," "childhood betrothal," and "heiress to a wealthy family."
That changed on the first day of senior year, when her best friends showed her proof of Gu Jingzhou's infidelity. She tore up the script of their engagement with her own hands.
She thought this act of rebellion would only earn her family’s disapproval. She never expected Gu Wang, the "little uncle" who existed only in her memories, to barge back into her world.
He was Gu Jingzhou's uncle, the formidable Third Master Gu who could turn the business world upside down. At twenty-seven, he usually let silence speak for him, yet when classmates gossiped about her, he quietly stood outside her classroom.
When her family pressured her, he stood in front of her, his face cold.
When she was overwhelmed trying to learn the family business, he sent her annotated documents late at night.
Wen Yao, Qin Yan, and Jiang Haitang were her source of strength. They stood by her as she dumped the scumbag, shut down the rumors, and braved parties, and they studied finance with her late into the night in the classroom.
Nan Wanyin knew she didn't need to flee abroad. She would weather Nancheng's storms herself, and earn its glory herself.
On her eighteenth birthday, wearing a custom-made dress, she stood at a Nan Group press conference and smiled at Gu Wang below the stage. "Thank you for teaching me everything, President Gu."
He walked toward her against the light and drew her into his arms, his voice hoarse. "Niannian, I taught you because I wanted you by my side, not charging into battle alone."
This is a young woman's coming-of-age story, and a story of a man's fiercely devoted protection.
From school life to business battles, from seventeen to all the years ahead, he waits for her to grow up, and she stays with him for the rest of his life.
