Si Nian has always regarded Shen Yanru as her salvation, silently following him for years—until she witnesses him passionately kissing someone else. In that moment, she awakens and leaves without hesitation. Turning away, she “coincidentally” meets Gu Linchuan, the powerful head of the Gu family, and enters a whirlwind marriage. At first, Si Nian believes their marriage is merely a formality. Only later does she realize that Gu Linchuan has been waiting for this moment for ten long years.
