Ye Qingyu's mother's home, a week later. Ruoyi stood at the door holding a box of pastries, the kind she always brought whenever she visited. It was a habit she had kept for three years, even though she and Ye Qingyu were no longer together. "Ruoyi?" Mrs. Ye opened the door and froze when she saw her, a flicker of guilt she couldn't hide crossing her face. "Auntie, I just came by to see you," Ruoyi said, forcing a smile. "I know things between Qingyu and me are over, but I still think of you as…-

The international airport, two days later, at the international check-in area. Ye Qingyu stood in the check-in line, his suitcase beside him, his face gaunt from two sleepless nights, his mind spinning because he still couldn't reach Ruoyi. "Ye Qingyu!" The familiar voice behind him made him spin around. Ruoyi stood there, panting as if she'd run a long way, her hair a mess, her eyes swollen from crying. "Ruoyi..." He let go of his suitcase and stepped toward her, then stopped halfway, not knowing what…

Frankfurt University Hospital, eighteen months later. In the hematology waiting room, Ruoyi sat with a book in her hands, but her eyes kept drifting to the door of the testing room, where Ye Qingyu was having his scheduled bone marrow test, the most important checkup since his final round of chemotherapy. The past eighteen months had been anything but easy. There were nights he ran a high fever from the side effects of chemo, and she stayed up until dawn pressing cold towels to his forehead and holding…

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…-

After leaving the Gu family's old house, Wanning didn't say a word. She sat in the car, gazing out the window. Gu Zeyan didn't press her. Only when the car stopped in front of the project office did he speak. "Do you want to know what happened back then?" "I do." "Then tonight I'll take you somewhere." "Where?" "Your mother's old house." Wanning turned to him. "You know where it is?" "I do." "How?" "Because six years ago, your mother asked me to keep something for her." He took a key from the…

On her first day in the fifty-story glass tower of the Hongsheng Group, Tang Xiaoyue gripped the strap of her handbag until her fingers turned white. No one in that vast lobby knew that behind her crisp office suit and calm face lay a plan she had been nurturing for three whole years. She hadn't come for the generous salary. She hadn't come for the prestige of this top corporation. She had come for a single name: Xie Chengyan, the youngest CEO in Hongsheng's history, the man the media called "the machine…-

That night Xiaoyue barely slept. She lay in bed with the file Chengyan had let her take home beside her pillow, but she didn't dare open it again. She was afraid. Afraid that the more she read, the more she'd realize that the world she had believed in for twenty-six years was only a thin shell. The next morning she went to work determined to hand in her resignation the moment she saw someone from HR. But when she reached her desk, she stopped short. On it sat a small wooden box, carefully wrapped in a…

After that sleepless night, Xiaoyue decided to follow the trail herself instead of waiting for anyone to feed her information. She quietly requested a copy of her birth registration from the district archives and compared it with the records from the hospital where she was born. The discrepancy was obvious from the very first line. The date of birth on her birth certificate was off by three months from the hospital records. The father's name on the civil registry was also a complete stranger's. Not Tang…

Xiaoyue left Hongsheng that same afternoon, taking nothing with her but the silver bracelet and the top-secret file. She rented a small room on the outskirts of the city and cut off contact with everyone, including Madam Zhou. Only one thought filled her mind: Xie Chengyan had been using her from the start. Approaching her, keeping her close, even publicly declaring her his fiancée. It was all part of a plan to find evidence against the Tang family, or worse, to cover up his father's crimes. Just as she…
