Chang Pan had known since childhood that she was an adopted daughter, yet her personality remained spoiled and willful.

At fifteen, her adoptive parents’ biological daughter was brought back home, and she had no choice but to return to her birth mother.

From a rich second generation to a poor second generation, Chang Pan disliked everything about her new environment equally.

But she found she couldn’t bring herself to dislike Fang You.

An elder sister with no blood relation to her, the pillar holding up a broken household,

who, with a quiet and restrained charm, captured all of Chang Pan’s attention.

She realized that what she wanted most as an adult wasn’t the life of a wealthy second generation—

but Fang You.

Fang You’s life was one of endurance.

Enduring through elementary school, enduring through middle school, enduring until she could work.

Then, everything would be over.

She never expected that in the abyss of a life where there was nowhere further to fall, a flower would drop into it.

Chang Pan was her nominal younger sister, a responsibility that fate had bound to her and would not let go.

In the end, she would become that bouquet of flowers taking root in the abyss.

Enduring until the end brought no release—only a reunion after separation, where they relied on each other for life.

One-sentence summary: The little sister who fell from the sky isn’t very cute.

Ruan Yihan was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but unfortunately, she played her cards poorly. At twenty-five, she took over Yiyang Entertainment, but instead of expanding the business, she became a femme fatale, indulging in the allure of Qin Haiyao. Because of Qin Haiyao, she fell from grace, unaware that Qin Haiyao was the illegitimate daughter of the CEO of Nanyang Entertainment, who had been using, manipulating, and scheming against the Ruan family, ultimately leading to their financial ruin and death. At thirty, when Qin Haiyao kissed Ruan Yihan and tearfully said "I love you," Ruan Yihan understood everything. Heartbroken, she fell off a cliff and died, a tragic end. One might ask, given another chance, would Ruan Yihan still act the same way? But no one expected that Ruan Yihan would truly be reborn, reborn at twenty-five, the most vibrant and successful year of her life. Ruan Yihan looked at herself in the mirror and sneered. Blood for blood; she would never forgive Qin Haiyao. Their next meeting was at the party where they first met. Ruan Yihan pinned Qin Haiyao against the wall, glaring at her fiercely. Under the dazzling lights, Ruan Yihan saw tears glistening in her eyes. Now, looking at the woman she once loved most deeply, yet who had hurt her most, Ruan Yihan no longer wavered. She had clipped Qin Haiyao's wings, keeping her like a caged bird, forcing Qin Haiyao to watch as she personally repaid Qin Haiyao for everything Qin Haiyao had done to her, bit by bit. —How intense can love be, how deep can hatred be?
