Three years ago, Lin Yixun was the mayor's proud daughter—and the wife Leng Yixiu never wanted. Loving him cost her everything: her marriage, her family's standing, and the face she once knew. Now she sells liquor at a nightclub in another city, swallowing humiliation to pay her ailing mother's medical bills. Her only wish is to survive and keep the past buried. But the past finds her. Leng Yixiu is about to marry the woman he has always loved. He says his ex-wife's misery has nothing to do with him. Yet when he sees her dancing beneath a roomful of hungry eyes, he cannot simply walk away. His interference costs her the livelihood she fought to keep, and Lin Yixun refuses to accept anything he offers. A new job as a superstar's housekeeper promises a fresh start—until the arrogant, infuriating Ouyang Hao decides to make her life difficult. Caught between a cold-hearted ex-husband and a reckless celebrity, Lin Yixun must hold on to the little she has left. Once, she would have given anything for love. What will it take to make sure she never loses herself again?
