Summary
Wen Nian was given a rare opportunity: a second chance at life, a gift from fate. In her previous life, she was an ordinary girl with lofty dreams, full of trust for her best friend and captivated by a man who became her enemy. Her misplaced trust and affection led to heartbreak; after her engagement was called off, she found herself in a downward spiral. Outwardly, she appeared to live a life of glamour, but deep down, she was filled with self-loathing.
Eventually, she was wrongfully accused and convicted for a crime she hadn’t committed, landing her in prison. During her time there, she still held on to remnants of her former attachment to her ex-fiancé. Tragically, her loyalty to him even caused the death of her own brother and drove her mother to a fatal breakdown in the hospital.
Under the influence of her so-called best friend, Wen Nian had entered the chaotic world of showbiz to impress the man she loved. Her image was carefully crafted to appeal to the public, but her heart was never truly in it. It was only in the confines of her prison cell that the truth became clear: her best friend had been secretly involved with her ex all along.
Wen Nian’s prison sentence was supposed to be ten years, but she was constantly told that she wasn’t up to standard. Her fate was bleak, and she ultimately met a tragic end behind bars. Yet, to her surprise, fate gave her a new beginning—a chance to start again.
Reincarnating back to her seventeen-year-old self, she knew this time would be different. With determination, she resolved to break off her engagement and steer clear of the man who had caused her so much pain. Her focus would be on protecting her family and building a simpler, more grounded life.
As she followed this new path, Wen Nian’s life began to transform. She eventually met someone new—a man who seemed unassuming but treated her with a warmth she had never known before. One day, while watching television, he casually pointed to a powerful figure on screen and introduced him to her with a smile.
“That’s my grandfather.”
“Huh?” Wen Nian was left speechless, shocked by the unexpected revelation.
