On the night she was born, Aurora Thorn was discarded like a mistake. Because she was a girl. While her wealthy family celebrated the arrival of a long-awaited "son," Aurora was abandoned in the wilderness and left to die, her existence erased by a grandmother obsessed with preserving a family legacy. But fate had other plans. Rescued and raised by a brilliant yet reclusive heart surgeon, Aurora grew up far from wealth and privilege. Gifted with an extraordinary mind, she became a medical prodigy whose talent far exceeded her years. Surrounded by love, integrity, and hard work, she built a life of her own without ever knowing the truth about her birth. Until one day, everything changes. As Aurora rises through the world of medicine, hidden secrets begin to surface. A powerful family built on lies. A stolen identity. A fortune that was never meant for the boy who inherited it. And a truth buried for decades that could destroy an empire. But reclaiming what was taken from her is not Aurora's only battle. The world beyond her small mountain town is far darker than she imagined. Betrayal, jealousy, greed, and danger lurk behind smiling faces. As enemies emerge from every direction, Aurora must rely on her intelligence, resilience, and the lessons taught by the man she calls father. She was abandoned. She was forgotten. She was never supposed to survive. Now, the girl they threw away is coming back. And this time, she won't be ignored. --- **A story of revenge, hidden identity, family secrets, medical genius, and a heroine who refuses to break.** **For readers who love strong female leads, emotional family drama, and satisfying revenge with a touch of romance.**

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Lin Yu fell in love with Chen Yichen the moment she met him - the heir of the powerful Chen family, known for his brilliance, wealth, and heart of ice. Everyone warned her he was emotionless, that no one could ever touch him. But Lin Yu believed love could melt even the coldest heart. When Chen Yichen's grandfather took a liking to her and suggested marriage, Yichen agreed-but only on his own cruel terms: "If you marry me, don't ask for love. Don't expect warmth. You'll get my name, nothing more." Lin Yu accepted, hoping that time would change him. Two years of marriage, countless silent dinners, and endless nights alone-yet Chen Yichen's heart never softened. When Lin Yu finally saw him being gentle with another woman, she smiled bitterly and said, "Let's divorce." But during their cooling-off period, Yichen begins to see what he ignored for too long-the woman who once stood by him with quiet strength and unwavering love. Now it's his turn to chase her. But will Lin Yu still be waiting for him, or has her heart already turned to ice?

Lin Qian once thought the man she wanted would be handsome and formidable, able to "create clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another turn" in the business world, causing her to look up to him in admiration. There would be nothing he could not accomplish. But when she finally met the one that fits this, she realized how much she liked his impassiveness, his quietness, his persistence, and his loyalty. She liked him to the point that she was willing to be with him, to stand side by side with him in this callous business world that is full of bloodshed. To be reckless in these years of our life, irrespective of the future. An encounter, ordinary and dull like flowing water, produced the most dramatic and best years for him and her. -------- NOT MY WORK!!! Author: Ding Mo; 丁墨 Translator: Qidian International
