Dong Qiao was always a target of everyone’s curiosity. From childhood, she was the apple of everyone’s eye, but now that she had reached adulthood, no one could dare to make her the center of attention. Yet despite her reputation as the most elusive woman in all of Xingyuan City, Dong Qiao still felt a deep yearning for her past. She had always been drawn to the idea of tracing back the origins of her existence—perhaps that was why she chose the name “Dong Qiao.”
It wasn’t just about DNA. It was about remembering who she really was. For years, she had been pursuing her own path, but now that she had reached a certain age, she felt a heavy burden upon her shoulders. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was missing inside her.
And then there was YANG Qian. The daughter of a crime lord, she was everything Dong Qiao could ever have imagined in a lifetime—except for one thing: she looked nothing like her own father. Or rather, her own father looked nothing like her now. She had always harbored a deep-seated resentment towards the man who had raised her after her biological parents died in a tragic accident. Now that he was dead—or rather, was it him?—Dong Qiao felt a surge of emotions she couldn’t quite place.
Time was marching on, and with each passing moment, she felt further away from the truth. She had no choice but to follow her instincts, even if it meant diving into the heart of a conspiracy that could unravel everything they knew about their world.
Dong Qiao’s journey was one of relentless pursuit and forbidden love. It was a quest for answers, but also a battle against the odds. And as she delved deeper into the labyrinth of secrets, she couldn’t help but wonder: what would happen to her if she gave in to her heart? What kind of man—even if he were infinitely tempting—could ever satisfy the complexities of her soul?
This story was not just about catching a criminal. It was about unraveling the web of lies, and confronting the raw emotions that had always been hidden deep within. And in the end, Dong Qiao found herself standing at the precipice of her fate—whether she chose to claim it or let it escape her forever.
Will she find her father? Or will she be left with only the memories that shaped who she was meant to become?
Only time would tell.
