Shen Qing grew up wild and free on her own in an orphanage, living life on her own terms. But at eighteen, her biological parents found her and brought her back to the Shen family.
To preserve the family affection she had never known, she subdued her temper and became cautious and eager to please.
Yet the Shen family always thought Shen Qing was an embarrassment, nowhere near as good as their fake daughter. They even let the fake daughter’s clumsy frame-up get Shen Qinghuan locked away in a psychiatric hospital, where she endured inhuman abuse.
After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Shen Qing abandoned all hope of family affection. She would repay every wrong and avenge every grudge.
Later...
Her biased parents: “Qingqing, we were wrong. Can you forgive Mom and Dad one more time?”
Her cold older brother: “Qingqing, can you give your big brother one more chance?”
Her scheming second brother: “Qingqing, I really didn’t mean to do those things before!”
Her hot-tempered third brother: “Qingqing, don’t go. I swear I’ll make it up to you!”
Her fickle fiance wept: “Qingqing, I’m sorry. Can we start over?”
Shen Qing sneered. “Too late! You’re all trash. I don’t want any of you!”
The trash panicked. “Shen Qing, without us, you’re just an orphan with nothing!”
Shen Qing turned and nestled into a man’s broad, warm embrace, smiling faintly. “Who says I have nothing? I have the greatest love in the world!”
Only then did everyone realize that Lu Zhenian, the aloof and solitary head of the Lu family, had secretly been in love with Shen Qing for more than a decade!
