[Angst first, then a satisfying payoff] [The whole family seeks redemption + the second male lead gets the girl + regret arc + real and fake heiresses]
As the apple of the Wen family's eye, Wen Nianchu was the most dazzling rose in Jing City.
That was until the Wen family's chauffeur died in a car accident. To assuage their guilt, her parents brought the chauffeur's daughter into their home and renamed her Wen Ruan.
From then on, her parents fussed over Wen Ruan every day, her brother beat her up for Wen Ruan's sake, and even her fiancé stood by Wen Ruan at every turn.
After Wen Ruan fled the scene of an accident, they even made Wen Nianchu take the blame.
The dazzling rose withered overnight. Completely disillusioned with them, she turned and walked away.
But who could have expected that her biased parents would beg her through tears to come home, while her cold, stubborn brother tried to win her over every day?
Even her aloof fiancé knelt outside her door, hoping they could start over.
But Wen Nianchu never looked back.
Later, her fiancé stood in front of her car, eyes red as he pleaded, “Nianchu, I was blind before. Give me one more chance.”
The car window rolled down, revealing a man's sinister, mocking smile. “Move along. She's your aunt by marriage.”
