Three days later, Diệu Anh stood in front of the Tống Corporation tower, soaring over the heart of the city. She walked into Bách Việt's office on shaking legs, but with a steady gaze. "I want to know," she said bluntly, "why you disappeared back then. And why you've shown up now." Bách Việt sat behind his desk, a pain he couldn't name flickering in his eyes. "Back then, I found out who had framed your father. But I wasn't strong enough to stand up to him. I had to leave and quietly rebuild a…-

Bách Việt's plan was bold: Diệu Anh would pose as his new fiancée, move through high society, and find a way into the inner circle of the Hoàng Kim Group, where Hoàng Tử Phong held control. "We'll play a couple in love," Bách Việt explained at a secret meeting in his private villa. "Tử Phong is always on guard against me, but he won't suspect an ordinary girl at my side." Diệu Anh nodded, though her heart couldn't help stirring at the thought of pretending to be intimate with the man who…

In the days that followed, Diệu Anh and Bách Việt had to play a happy couple in public: attending parties together, appearing in the press together, even living under one roof to make their cover more believable. But the line between pretending and meaning it grew thinner and thinner. One rainy night, when Diệu Anh had a nightmare about her painful past, she broke down sobbing in her room. Bách Việt heard her, rushed in, and pulled her into his arms on instinct. "Don't be afraid. I'm here," he…

The evidence had been stolen, and every trace pointed to the only person with access to it: Diệu Anh. Hoàng Tử Phong quickly spread the rumor that she was a mole planted to sabotage Bách Việt's plan. At an emergency meeting with the leadership team, every suspicious glance turned to Diệu Anh. Even Bách Việt, though he tried to hold it back, couldn't keep a flicker of hesitation out of his eyes. "You suspect me too?" Diệu Anh asked, her voice choked, tears on the verge of falling. "I don't…

Diệu Anh woke up in a dark cellar, her hands and feet tightly bound. In front of her stood Hoàng Tử Phong, his eyes full of triumph. "Tell me where the evidence you found is, nicely, and I'll let you live," he growled. "You'll pay for what you did to my father," Diệu Anh shot back, showing no fear even though she was trembling inside. Meanwhile, Bách Việt discovered his trusted assistant's betrayal and realized he had been wrong to suspect Diệu Anh. He frantically mobilized every resource he…

The standoff ended when the police burst in and arrested Hoàng Tử Phong, along with all the evidence of his crimes that Diệu Anh had worked so hard to gather. After three long years, her father's name was finally cleared, and the Ngô family's honor and assets were fully restored. At the hospital, when Diệu Anh woke after those terrifying hours, the first person she saw was Bách Việt, his face haggard with worry, his eyes red from a sleepless night at her bedside. "I'm sorry," he said hoarsely,…

Qiushan Town, the twenty-third year of the Qinghe era. A carriage drew up before the Xue family's vermilion-and-gold gate, where two stone lions stood guard as solemnly as if they had been there for a thousand years. A young man in white stepped down, graceful in bearing but with eyes as cold as ice. This was Xue Yifeng, sole rightful heir of the Xue family, home at last after ten years of exile on the frontier. The servants on either side of the gate exchanged glances. No one dared to step forward and…-

News of Xue Yifeng's return swept through the Xue mansion like a cold wind. That night, in Gathering Clouds Court, where the Second Master lived, the lamps burned bright and the sound of arguing carried all the way to the yard. "We can't let him live!" A sharp, cold female voice rang out. It was Madam Xue, the Second Master's principal wife. "Ten years ago I thought he was dead. How could he possibly come back?" "Calm down, my lady." The Second Master rubbed his forehead, deeply worried. "He's the…

Late autumn had come to the city of Linjiang. The ginkgo trees along the streets had turned a pale gold, and their leaves drifted down onto the lake, sending out small rings of ripples. On the campus of Linjiang University, the afternoon bell had just rung when a girl in a cream sweater hurried across the square, clutching a folder. Her name was Su Wanning. Twenty-four, freshly graduated with a master's degree in communications, Wanning had come back to Linjiang after three years in Shanghai. She had…-
