For three years, Gu Lianhua, the hidden heiress of China's second-wealthiest family, devoted her life to a man she believed was her destiny. Stripping away her noble identity, she worked tirelessly in cafés and as a delivery girl, enduring scorn from her boyfriend Zhao Rui's family. By day, she scrubbed floors; by night, she hid her genius in programming and stock trading, amassing a secret fortune meant as a gift for their future together.
But love betrayed her.
Zhao Rui took a mistress-Shen Meilin, an illegitimate child of a distant branch who falsely claimed to be the Gu family's beloved granddaughter. When Rui and his family chose Meilin over Lianhua, discarding her with cruelty and humiliation, Lianhua's fragile devotion shattered.
What Rui did not know was that he had scorned the true Gu heiress. Behind her quiet endurance stood three fiercely protective brothers and a secret engagement to the heir of China's wealthiest Lee family. Lee Jianyu, broad-shouldered and powerful, had never forgotten the petite girl who defended him when he was a mocked, overweight teenager. He had waited years for her return-and now, he would burn the world to protect her.
From ashes of love, flames of revenge will rise. Rui, Meilin, and all who scorned her will regret their cruelty, as Lianhua ascends not only as the Gu heiress but as a queen of her own making.
At her side will stand Jianyu-the man who saw her when she was invisible, and loved her when the world turned away.
This is a tale of betrayal, hidden identity, vengeance, and love reborn.
