Her birth mother was killed by her treacherous father, and her maternal grandfather was imprisoned. Xie Qingtang was burdened with a deep-seated vendetta, ready to leave the mountain to save her loved ones and seek revenge. Yet, she had no money, no power, and no status—how could she carry out her plan? Stroking her chin in contemplation, Xie Qingtang decided to seek out her supposed childhood fiancé. Her fiancé was renowned for his stunning looks and immense wealth, standing as the most outstanding and domineering president in the nation—perfect in every way, except for one fatal flaw: he was about to die at any moment. Xie Qingtang exclaimed in shock, "Wait! Don't cremate him yet—I think he can still be saved!" Using her unparalleled medical skills, she pulled her fiancé, believed to have been dead for half a day, back from the gates of the underworld. Delighted, she waited for the ailing tycoon to reward her, fully prepared to break off the engagement, take the money, and make her escape. But to her astonishment, she found herself unable to leave.

Hearing this, Xie Qingtang lifted her head, looked at the guard, and smiled with curved eyes. “The Gu family? Then I’m in the right place. My fiancé is a member of the Gu family!”
The two guards were taken aback, their expressions turning stern. One of them said, “Come on, miss. I’ve seen plenty like you trying to cozy up to the Gu family. Not one of them has succeeded, and all of them left with more trouble than they bargained for. You look young, probably still in college. Take my advice: focus on your studies and stop dreaming about marrying into wealth!”
So… they’d mistaken her for a sparrow trying to become a phoenix?
Xie Qingtang’s delicate oval face scrunched up with a hint of helplessness in her voice. “Gentlemen, my fiancé’s name is Gu Xiujin. Even if I don’t get to marry into a wealthy family, I at least need to come in person to break off the engagement, don’t you think?”
