Affection Series #1 Serene Dubois is not your typical woman. After being the "butt of the joke," she made a vow to become fierce and courageous in order to triumph over the wrongdoings of her evil stepmother and sister. She endured for five-years. She bled for years. She eventually comes back as the ferocious, vengeful woman she chose to be. She made a commitment to herself that she would not revert to the Serene she had previously cast off, and there she met Juan Liu, the son of business associate of her father. The one man who was able to make her feel exposed and in an instant, she caused the wall to fall, exposing her innocent heart.
