Avery thought she married a struggling courier who loved her for who she was. Three years later a single tabloid photo blows that life apart: her husband, Shen Yan, is seen gifting a four‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar necklace to his glamorous ex. The truth shatters Avery—he never was who he pretended to be. Betrayed and humiliated, she walks out with nothing but pride and a stubborn resolve. Refusing to be the victim, Avery builds a new life from scraps: a tiny design studio, a stubborn partner who believes in her, and a talent that draws the attention of luxury brands. As she rises, Shen Yan’s carefully constructed empire unravels—his lies, his past, and the people he used as props come back to burn him. This is a story of public slaps and private strength, of clawing your way to success, and of serving cold, public justice to the man who treated love like a costume. Sharply paced, marketable, and full of payoffs: slaps, reveals, career wins, legal pressure, and ultimate reversal of power. From rent‑stinted apartments to red‑carpet vindication—Avery’s climb is one delicious, satisfying beat after another.
