He Shu's best friend was betrayed and hurt by a cheating scumbag. Even after learning he came from an influential family, He Shu wasn't afraid. She was going to get even for her friend.
So at the scumbag's engagement party, He Shu disguised herself and played the pitiful white lotus to perfection, hitting him with three questions that went straight to the heart:
"You once said you'd love only me for the rest of your life."
"I'm carrying your child. What am I supposed to do?"
"I've tried to forget you, but I can't."
Naturally, the scumbag denied everything.
He Shu smiled confidently and rattled off a string of phone numbers, addresses, birthdays...
Scumbag: "Those are fake. None of them are mine."
He Shu was utterly unruffled. On the verge of tears, she said, "Oh, so you even lied to me about all of that!"
The scumbag hurriedly said, "They're all my uncle's. If you don't believe me, ask him. He's sitting right down there."
He Shu followed the direction of his finger and, sure enough, saw the face of the man she'd been secretly in love with.
He Shu: ...I got careless.
After the dust settled, there was still going to be an engagement, but the groom had changed.
Overjoyed, He Shu went to great lengths to make Shi Yuli fall in love with her.
Then she happened to learn that he had a moonlight in his heart.
She tried to find clues about this woman, but he kept everything under wraps.
Since that was the case, she knew she shouldn't force things. She decided to find a day to explain herself and call off their engagement.
Shi Yuli had been feeling completely baffled lately. He thought he understood how the girl he liked felt, but he kept getting it wrong.
The woman he had feelings for was hot and cold, impossible to read.
Where had he gone wrong?
One day, Shi Yuli, the CEO of Shiying Pictures, attended the company's annual gala. Asked about his relationship with his fiancee, he couldn't hide his smile. "We're doing great."
Off in a corner, He Shu gulped down a few mouthfuls of lemon sake. "Liar!"
"Of course I want her to become my wife soon. I've had a crush on her for a long time."
He Shu: "That scumbag will say anything to save face."
It wasn't until the Weibo account she'd maintained for years was verified as belonging to Shi Yuli, the group's CEO, that He Shu discovered:
The only post on his profile was a repost of something she'd written years ago: "Why doesn't he like me?"
His comment read: "I really like you."
He Shu: Well, what do you know?
Turns out I was the scumbag's moonlight all along.
