As the heiress of an old-money family, An Zaiyi once had a life of boundless privilege. But fate had other plans. After her mother, who had been bedridden for years, passed away, her young stepmother swiftly seized power and ruthlessly stripped her of her right to inherit.
In this wave of power struggles and competing interests, An Zaiyi's opponent seemed all but invincible. Her cold, domineering stepmother, Yuan Yulin, was ruthless and ambitious, seemingly determined to uproot this threat once and for all.
After being blacklisted in her industry, having her assets frozen, and enduring a series of threats and temptations, An Zaiyi soon realized the root of the problem. In this seemingly one-sided power struggle, all she might need was a strong ally with whom she could form a mutually beneficial partnership.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Qiu Zhaoyuan, the daughter of an established plutocratic family who had been at odds with Yuan Yulin for years, was clearly the best choice for an alliance.
But... what would it cost to get Qiu Zhaoyuan to take her side?
