----------
"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 response to Dylan's apology was a soft chuckle from Liliana. Turning her head away from the front mirror of the car, she glanced at her brother. He was sitting behind the wheel.

The passing lights from the lampposts poured over into the car, casting a glow on their silhouettes.

"I'll be upset if I hear you apologize again," Liliana amusedly scolded Dylan, "You've been repeating it more than ten times already."

Dylan's gloomy expression sank further. He unconsciously tightened the grip on the steering wheels. His veins popped on the back of his hands.

"Still... I'm actually ashamed to face you now, Sister Lili."

Liliana was distressed hearing how sullen Dylan's voice was. She had always known him as a ball of sunshine. Thus, this minor change flooded her heart with discomfort.
