Regaining Lost Joy

Васk whеn the Ji family was аt the peаk of its роwеr, the уoung and rеckless Ji Cen’аn did no shortagе оf unscrupulоus things. Thе most оutrageous of them all was undoubtedly using every means possible to pursue Nanjia, who already had someone in her heart. She schemed step by step, making the other become her girlfriend, acting willfully and arbitrarily, unaware of her own despicableness.

Back then, Nanjia was just a nobody in Z City—aloof, full of pride, not particularly capable. When bullied, she could only grit her teeth and endure with reddened eyes.

Nanjia resented her, hated her,

looked down on her, and despised her most of all.

Ji Cen’an never cared, only escalating her actions without repentance.

However, retribution is inevitable. The Ji family collapsed overnight. Ji Cen’an fell from the clouds, losing everything, reduced to such a pitiful state she almost had to beg on the streets—from a favored child of heaven to dust that anyone could trample underfoot.

And after years of separation, when they met again,

Ji Cen’an had become even more down-and-out, unable to return to her former self no matter what.

But the former “little white flower,” Nanjia, now stood in the position she once occupied, becoming Z City’s most sought-after rising star—glamorous, dazzlingly beautiful, and utterly out of reach.

Nanjia still hated her,

couldn’t forget her, couldn’t let go,

obsession running deep in her bones, impossible to sever or escape.

Ji Cen’an: …

Had she known it would come to this, she should have had some principles back then.
