The First Young Madam of a Prestigious Family

A scandalous, rapidly spreading online video of her posing nude made her famous, but also plunged her into a nightmare unlike anything she had ever known. Her father got into trouble, and her husband returned with her best friend, telling her, “Nianjin, I love her. Let's get divorced!” His abandonment turned her into a laughingstock in the business world of City W! Drunk and utterly hopeless, she was ready to leap from the eighteenth floor and end her young life, when a devastatingly handsome man walked into her life. He said to her, “Suicide is an act of cowardice.” “Marry me. I'll help you get revenge on them.” “Why?” “Because I can't stand them either.” She stared coldly and mockingly into his beautiful, unfocused eyes. “And what makes you think you're up to it?” “Just wait and see.” The man gave a helpless laugh, then left in utter frustration. A few days later, she delivered a thick stack of documents to the office of a senior official. That was when she learned that Qin Shaotian was the future heir to the Dongfang Group. His powerful connections made her turn and flee, but he caught her hand and said firmly, “Do I still have the power to deal with people I can't stand?” “I can't have children.” “That doesn't matter. We can do what people in the West do, or we can try IVF.” “Fine.” And so she chose a loveless marriage. He is a business titan. He is the most powerful man in City W, and its future top official. Though they have always been bitter enemies, they happen to share the same interests, even the same taste in women. He leaves her utterly broken, while the other man cherishes her like a priceless treasure... Two men, one in business and one in politics, scheme and struggle against each other. In the end, it's impossible to tell who will win... The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The mastermind manipulating everything finally steps into the light. It turns out it was all just an enticing trap. * “Sweetheart, how about that one?” The man's long, elegant finger points to the most dazzling and expensive diamond ring in the display case. “Miss, your husband has excellent taste. This is a limited edition,” the saleswoman says with a bright smile. “It's very expensive!” “It's fine. Don't try to save money on me,” the man says with a fond smile, kissing her. When the saleswoman takes out the ring and slips it onto her finger, she turns around and clearly sees the couple behind them choosing rings. Her face turns ghastly pale. She is so embarrassed she wants to dig a hole and crawl into it. * At an elegant banquet, she wears a beautiful evening gown, looking like a fairy as she leans against the man's chest. “Darling, the baby kicked me again.” “If it's a boy, I'll beat him up when he comes out,” the man says with a fond laugh in her ear. Not far away, her ex-husband stands with his new wife, listening to their conversation. His face suddenly turns ashen with shock. He can hardly believe his ears. Didn't she have a condition that made her infertile? How could she be having a baby? He says, “Niannian, the butler said you wanted to live a secluded life, so I built you a ‘Jin Garden.’ From now on, our children will grow up here. I'll cherish you and our children for all eternity.” He says, “Niannian, the butler said you like watching fireworks, so I bought some for you to enjoy.” But the fireworks he calls “some” are enough to light up the sky all night.
