Rebirth Gone WRONG.
Reborn to that same night, that night that changed everything her 17 year old brain could understand. She opens her eyes to darkness, fear clawing at her chest—this time, she does not scream.
she remembered everything.
In her past life, she was the disgrace of the Her family—vicious, desperate, greedy and blinded by love for the wrong man, became the villainess of her own story. She clawed her way through a wealthy, polygamous household filled with scheming stepmothers and venomous siblings, only to fall deeper into ruin. Betrayed, abandoned, and ultimately silenced… her life ended in blood and regret.
By the hands of the last piece to her perfect life.
Now, fate has dragged her back to seventeen.
This time, She will not chase love. She will not beg for approval. And she will never become that pathetic girl again.
With memories of the future and a strange ability she soon discovers, she begins to rewrite everything—avoiding old traps while quietly building power under a new identity no one can trace.
But changing fate comes at a cost.
Because the man who destroyed her life… is still waiting.
Cold, untouchable, and dangerously obsessed, Lu Jingyan was the shadow she could never escape in her past life—the one who watched her fall, then ended her without hesitation.
In this life, she avoids him.
But He notices.
She ignores him.
He becomes interested.
And before she realizes it, she has already stepped back into his world.

The dining hall was silent, the clink of porcelain the only sound echoing across the long table.
Shen Ruyi picked up her chopsticks lazily, her gaze flicking toward the man seated at the head, beside her. She remained calm and composed.
Their eyes met.
She smiled.
It was deliberate and provoking.
“President Lu,” she said lightly, tilting her head, “staring at me like that… are you afraid I’ll poison your food?”
A faint ripple of tension spread across the room.
“Try it,” Lu Jingyan said, voice low, almost bored. “And see what happens.”
As if on time, their cultery touched as they both reached for the same piece of shrimp. Recalling the event form her past life, she decided to act first.
"Im aware you cant wait to have me tonight" she drops her chopsticks and pick up another one as if the previous was infected - "but atleast have some diginty about it. Dont shamelessly try to steal my saliva"
His gaze sharpened.
“What did you say?”
She met his eyes without fear.
“I said,” she repeated slowly, “dont shamelessly try to taste my saliva.”
Those words were first said by him in her previous life. But she decided to act first in this life, she however missed to recognise his blazing glare and white knuckles.
A dangerous silence followed.
Lu Jingyan stood abruptly, his chair scrapping loudly on the floor after him.
The air shifted instantly.
“You’re not leaving this house today,” he said flatly.
The words fell like a verdict.
Shen Ruyi’s smile disappeared.
“Excuse me?” she snapped, rising to her feet. “Who do you think you are to decide that for me?”
He didn’t answer.
Two men stepped forward immediately.
“Miss Shen,” one of them said politely, already reaching for her arm.
Her expression darkened.
“Don’t touch me.”
Her chair scraped loudly against the floor as she struggled, anger finally breaking through her composure.
“Lu Jingyan!” she shouted, her voice sharp, furious. “Have you lost your mind?!”
He watched her without moving.
Calm and Indifferent.
“Take her away.” came the following order
“Let go of me!” she snapped, trying to pull free as they dragged her back. “You think you can control everything?!”
His lips curved faintly.
“Not everything,” he replied.
His gaze locked onto hers—dark and dangerously.
“Just you.”

In a world where power is everything and fate refuses to loosen its grip, Shen Ruyi must outplay enemies, survive a man obsessed with owning her.
But escaping him might be impossible.
