Li Lingchen, heir to the Li family, died in an unexpected car accident. Li Yu'an, the Li family's younger son, who had been living abroad, hurried home to take over the family business.
At the funeral, Li Yu'an met his elder brother's fiancee, Song Wei, for the first time.
Unlike the rest of the family, he sat at the back, watching coldly as the woman put on an act for everyone.
Sure enough, Song Wei, who had been weeping inconsolably at the funeral that day, appeared in his study that night with a smile in her eyes.
"My brother's dead. How can you still be his fiancee?" Li Yu'an couldn't even be bothered to raise his eyelids. He gave a cold laugh. "Or... are you hoping to join him?"

Everyone in Beicheng's upper circles knew that the deceased eldest son of the Li family had been engaged to a woman who then got involved with the younger son and had his child.
But in five years, no one had ever seen her at a single Li family event.
People whispered that the Li family had simply gotten rid of the mother and kept the child.
But only Li Yu'an knew the truth: Song Wei didn't love him. She was the one who didn't want him.
They met again at a recognition ceremony hosted by the Lu family.
Song Wei had become the Lu family's long-lost younger daughter, and now she had a fiance in name only by her side.
At the banquet, just as the Lu family was about to announce Song Wei's engagement, they suddenly couldn't find her.
In an unnoticed storage room on the first floor, Li Yu'an leaned down to kiss her by the ear, quietly begging her not to go out.
"Our son misses you so much. And... I miss you too."
