----------
"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

"Lili... I love you. Will you let me into your heart?"

Akin to a gentle spring breeze, Lucas' words softly brushed the apex of Liliana's heart. Despite how mellow the sensation was, her entire body froze as if she was doused by cold water.

He... he said that... he loved her?

Tremors flared from Liliana's heart, traveling to her fingertips. Staring at the photo, her eyes stayed on the familiar cursive writing Lucas had always penned on any cakes.

'Will you let me into your heart?'

Despite being shrouded by anxiousness, Lucas still put a smile on his countenance. From where he stood, he saw Liliana's eyelashes fluttering. Her bangs slightly obscured the upper part of her face.

Did he screw up terribly by being honest with her today?
