F Group had once been a commercial empire in Y City, fleeting as a passing cloud.
Qin Zu had once been glorious beyond measure. His photograph frequently graced the covers of financial magazines.
Back then, Qin Zu had everything—money, power, and countless stunningly beautiful women.
But Qin Zu was not satisfied with his life as it was. He wanted to become a king of a higher order, to make the entire world admire him.
Many women adored Qin Zu, among them the B-list actress Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian had studied performing arts since childhood. Her dream was to become the heroine of a romance novel—the woman of a domineering CEO.
Zhong Tian met with Qin Zu every week. Qin Zu took her to fancy restaurants, played twisted games with her in luxury hotels, and helped advance her career, elevating her from an obscure eighteenth-tier actress to her current status. She thought this was true love. Many women envied her.
Zhong Tian enjoyed this envy and admiration, because at her core, she was the same kind of person as Qin Zu.
Money. Fame. Beauty. And Qin Zu's favor. She was the "happiest" woman in the world.
Until one day, she suggested going to Qin Zu's home to play their twisted games.
Qin Zu coldly refused her. His reason: "I have a cleanliness obsession. I'm not used to having people in my home."
Zhong Tian's innocent face twisted, but she quickly regained her composure and cooed at Qin Zu: "Daddy, I just thought it would be more intimate at your place. Or is it that you've hidden a woman there?"
Qin Zu didn't answer. He left the hotel and went straight home.
He felt an immense pain and emptiness, as if he had drifted one step further from the goddess in his heart. It was as if he could never have her—only vent his desires to her photos and videos.
Zhong Tian received news from a celebrity friend that Qin Zu had a white moonlight he could never obtain. Her name was Su Die, daughter of BR Group chairwoman Su Yue—a financial princess even Qin Zu could never approach.
The friend also said that Qin Zu's home was filled with photos of Su Die, all taken secretly by Qin Zu while stalking her. She handed Su Die's photo to Zhong Tian.
Even Zhong Tian had to admit that Su Die was a stunning beauty.
Her beauty and status were things Zhong Tian didn't even have the right to look up to.
"Are you sure this is Su Die? This girl who gets bullied?"
"That's right. Your husband picks her up every day."
Those delinquent girls, eager to make quick money, sold Su Zhen's information to Zhong Tian, passing it off as Su Die's.
Su Die attended the elite high school next door. The one studying at the private arts high school was her biological sister, Su Zhen.
They all knew that Su Die was the true princess of BR Group, while Su Zhen was just the unfavored younger daughter. And bullying Su Zhen had already become the norm. The two looked identical. This actress wouldn't discover anything.
Zhong Tian's world collapsed. She confirmed that Qin Zu picked up and dropped off Su Zhen every day.
"This is his white moonlight goddess? I cannot lose my daddy. I will make this woman wish she were dead!"
When Su Mosheng and Lu Yu investigated Zhong Tian at a third-rate nightclub, she was no longer a top-tier innocent actress, and Qin Zu had lost his money and power, becoming a rat crossing the street.
"All of this is Su Die's fault! Aren't you two tall, rich, and handsome men also bewitched and seduced by that siren?"
"You're wrong. Su Die doesn't even know Qin Zu. The white moonlight Qin Zu truly loved back then wasn't Su Die—it was Su Die's twin sister, Su Zhen."
Hearing this, Zhong Tian's heavily made-up face twisted beyond recognition. Could it be that all these years of jealousy were wrong? The target she had wanted to take revenge on back then was still alive?
Her hatred and jealousy were like Qin Zu's empire—they appeared to radiate an artistic, exquisite beauty, but had long since become a wasteland of ruins.
