Mu Jinpei holds a fortune worth hundreds of billions and wields immense power in the capital market. No one knows the deep-seated grudge he harbors against the Ji family. After returning to the country, he carefully sets up a trap for Ji Xingyao and the Ji family business.

When the net finally closes, just as he intended, the Ji Corporation goes bankrupt.

Ji Xingyao wakes up from a dream-like illusion—turns out, Mu Jinpei had been seeking revenge on the Ji family all along. The love and marriage he gave her were all lies.

After the divorce, Ji Xingyao disappears without a trace. Mu Jinpei refuses to admit that the trap he set ended up ensnaring his own cold and ruthless heart.

His hatred for the Ji family was real, but so was his love for her.

Years later, Ji Xingyao receives a call from an unfamiliar number.
Mu Jinpei: “I know you’ll never come back. I won’t marry again in this lifetime, and you better not even think of remarrying.”
Ji Xingyao chuckled lightly: “You’re wrong. I will come back—just to show you what it means to live a life worse than death.”
Mu Jinpei (in a low voice): “Already felt it.”
Ji Xingyao: “Not enough yet.”

PS:

1. Female lead is a painter.
2. Over-the-top melodrama with a domineering CEO and a “chasing his wife through the pits of hell” storyline. Ends happily (HE).
