The Night Leaf

The night before her wedding, her world shattered.
Betrayed by her own sister and abandoned by her fiancé, who demanded her kidney as the price for his love, she thought her life was over. But she refused to be a victim.

At the altar, she made a bold move: she called off the wedding and declared she’d marry anyone willing to step up. To everyone’s shock, he—the richest and most powerful man in the city—stepped forward, claiming it was his “duty” to marry her.

Overnight, she went from a betrayed bride to the wife of her ex-fiancé’s uncle, turning the tables on everyone who wronged her. From navigating family drama to outsmarting scheming rivals, she rose to become the undisputed queen of both families, building an empire of her own.

Now, with a thriving career and a husband who adores her, she’s living her best life. But when her husband calls, begging her to come home because their twins are “starving for attention,” she knows her chaotic yet glorious life is just getting started.

From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Old Madam Gong had held on for two days, but eventually, she could no longer hold on and left this world.


Qiao Yi stayed with Lu Yanchuan to handle Old Madam Gong's funeral arrangements. During this time, the Gong Family also came to cause trouble twice, but they were all blocked by Lu Yanchuan outside.


Following Old Madam Gong's last wishes, after all usable parts of Old Madam Gong's body were donated, Lu Yanchuan scattered her ashes into the sea.


Even to a complete stranger, seeing a living person turn into a handful of ashes right before your eyes is unsettling.


Qiao Yi was already feeling suppressed just by helping Lu Yanchuan with the funeral arrangements, let alone Lu Yanchuan who had deep feelings for Old Madam Gong.


After sending off Old Madam Gong on her last journey, only Lu Yanchuan and Qiao Yi were left in the car on the return journey.
