----------
"For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered."

Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. 

She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough!

"Divorce me this instant."

What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! 

On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery.

"Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. 

With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her.

But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing.

"I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!"

Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again.

Get Rid of Him

"The sanatorium looks good. Since Aunt's doctor said it's recommended, you can be at ease, Lili!"

Nadia's words brought a relief smile to Liliana's lips. She agreed with what her friend had just said.

Liliana was so preoccupied right now. Not a single day went by without her being busy.

After Liliana's meeting with Lucas a few days ago, she met with both Nancy and Nadia about the change of plan. At the same time, she checked with Mrs. Li about the sanatorium list.

The caretaker gave Liliana one. She was overjoyed to see there was a sanatorium close to where she used to live with her mother before, Springfield Town.

The assisted-living facility was known as Mist Vale Sanatorium. Even if Liliana was not able to rent the exact apartment unit before, she still planned to live there.
