"Marry me for three years, and as long as you do it, I guarantee your family will live in Cloud City in peace for a lifetime."
Shuyao clearly remembered the words he had said back then.
"You, a third-rate star from a humble background, what use are you besides your looks and figure? Being with Ji Linchuan is a bargain for you!"
At that time, Ji Linchuan's mother, Madam Ji, her mother-in-law, also looked down on her.
But under Ji Linchuan's insistence, they still got married.
For a while, she thought Ji Linchuan truly loved her.
Even though he once told her it was a transaction, women never shed tears until they see the coffin.
Until one day, she found a photograph in his wallet.
She had similar features and smile to the person in the picture; only that person was not her.
The back of the photo read, " Yurou, my love."
Those few short words pierced her heart like a needle.
Yurou was also the name Ji Linchuan called out every night when passion took over.
What he called stability was merely an occasional allowance.
Out of pride, she never asked him for living expenses.
Over the years, relying on the resources from Ji Group, she occasionally acted in some plays, presenting herself as the boss's cousin to the outside world.
With his occasional allowances, she barely managed to support herself and her mother.
She had always been obedient, striving to be a good wife in a wealthy family.
She never caused him trouble; even when he was cold and harsh towards her, she accepted it all with grace and kindness.
She thought she had another six months of beautiful time left.
But all of this was abruptly terminated by him.
A news headline on her phone caught her attention.
"Ji Corporation's president spends 50 million to sign top-tier IP 'Chunri Yao' for a smile from his beloved."
Shuyao's heart sank. So this was the newcomer he had just signed.
Today's reporters are truly meddlesome. It was merely a matter of signing a celebrity, yet they made it seem like a wedding.
The name of the newcomer made her heart sink: Wen Yuxi. It was identical to the name of the person behind that photo. Wen Yuxi had lazy, long curls that exuded a casual sensuality, and her purple off-shoulder gown accentuated her perfectly curvaceous figure, making her strikingly beautiful.
What she hadn’t known was that he used to be fond of this type. The man in the sharp gray suit stood tall and handsome, with a prominent nose and mischievous phoenix eyes that held a cold indifference. That was her husband, Ji Linchuan.
He seemed to be in a good mood. In his hand, he held a phone—one she had called.
Shuyao blinked, and after a long pause, her voice trembled slightly as she asked, “Ji Linchuan, where are you?”
There was a brief silence on the other end; he seemed displeased by her sudden inquiry but still replied dismissively, “Still busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Contact my secretary.”
He didn’t notice the hint of tears in her voice, but the way he looked at that girl from the side was genuinely tender—a look she had never seen before.
Shuyao quietly hung up the phone.
Wen Yuxi, the daughter of the Wen family, was also the niece of Elder Ji from Ji Group—a true highborn lady. She was not only beautiful but also talented in acting, having crowned herself as the Best Actress in the entertainment industry at such a young age.
The Wen family and the Ji family were well-connected; both were titans in the entertainment and investment sectors, formidable rivals in Cloud City’s upper class—nobility beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She later learned that they had been childhood sweethearts. Their romance was a match made in heaven, causing quite a stir in the city and inciting jealousy among many wealthy young ladies.
Fans shipping Wen Yuxi and Ji Linchuan on social media had already surpassed a million on Weibo. The tales of their love had spread throughout Cloud City; marriage seemed just a matter of time.
But who would have thought that she would suddenly leave without notice and go abroad, leaving Ji Linchuan alone? From then on, Ji Linchuan became engrossed in his career and distanced himself from women.
Except for her, she was not considered a woman; she was merely a tool.
Knowing that there was another person exactly like her filled her with fear every night. She feared that this person would return and tell her that she was just a substitute.
Eventually, the day that terrified her arrived. It turned out that last night, Ji Linchuan had gone to the airport to pick someone up, and indeed, the most unforgettable was still the white moonlight.
She remembered the moment he saw her face; his eyes were filled with affection and tenderness. At that time, she was young and naive, believing that it was love.
Later, she realized she was wrong; it was all just her one-sided wishful thinking.
