The White Moonlight and I Are in Cahoots

Tang Ningyang clawed her way up from the bottom to become the richest man's fiancée. The first to come knocking were her parents, whom she had barely seen in over twenty years.

Her family knelt and begged her for money. Tang Ningyang looked at them with an apologetic expression. "Oh, what should I do?"

Everyone wished the wicked woman and the "cancerous tumor" of a tycoon a lifetime together, but Tang Ningyang personally sent the businessman to prison and took his place at the pinnacle of power.

Amid all the condemnation, the wedding went ahead as planned.

Her new love was Professor Lin Juechen, renowned for his gentle elegance.

Everyone assumed Tang Ningyang had used the most underhanded means imaginable.

But when Lin Juechen made his first public appearance, he took all the blame upon himself and declared firmly:

"She is the one I begged to be with."

When Lin Juechen was pursuing his doctorate, he once rejected Tang Ningyang, who was eight years younger than him, and warned her that too much ambition could lead her astray.

When they met again, she offered him a deal as if granting him a favor, with irresistible terms.

The man frowned, a trace of disgust in his eyes. Keeping his tone restrained, he asked her to get off him.

But when everyone had turned against her, she smiled and asked him, "Is it so hard to choose between exposing me and kissing me, Senior?"

Lin Juechen found he had no answer.

That very night, he proposed to her,

outside a rusted gate splashed with red paint on a snowy night.

"Since there's no way to have it all, I'll stay by your side."
