At 32 years old, Fu Tianming is a heavyweight figure in the real estate industry of Shenzhen, known for his calm and strategic nature. He has emerged as a dark horse in recent years, amassing a fortune of over one hundred million in just a few short years. Five years ago, he divorced his wife and has not remarried since.
He and his ex-wife were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Their families have been fishing together since their ancestors' time, and later their parents started businesses together, maintaining a very close relationship. Naturally, they were betrothed from birth. This arrangement was not based on their own wishes; the stubbornness and capriciousness of family friends are something that those who have never experienced such friendship can never understand. He was her umbrella on rainy days, her coat on snowy days, and her emotional outlet. She was spoiled by both families from a young age, making her exceptionally willful and capricious. Therefore, he was not her first love, nor did she give him her first kiss. Yet he loved her deeply, watching her enter one relationship after another with different boyfriends, feeling only heartache and waiting. He waited for her to grow up, to feel his love, to recognize his goodness, and ultimately he waited until he could marry her.
However, their parents did not build any substantial family business, so when their daughter was born, he was still just a rising star in the business world relying on his own efforts. While he worked tirelessly to provide the life his wife desired, his vain wife began dating wealthy men and eventually ended up with one of them. When he found out, he did not blame her too much; even when she pointed at him and accused him of being "incompetent," "useless," and "a failure who cannot provide the life I want," he silently vowed to work hard to give her everything she wanted.
Yet he ultimately could not keep her or her heart. When he excitedly rushed home with the keys to their new villa to surprise her, she had already left him for the wealthy man, abandoning their sick daughter who was suffering from a fever. Unfortunately, their daughter passed away due to pneumonia from delayed treatment. He still vividly remembers seeing his daughter’s flushed face, her slightly open mouth, and her labored breathing. His daughter's eyes never opened again; she died without ever seeing the frantic and heartbroken expression on his face. Soon after this tragedy, his ailing parents passed away one after another, burdened with endless worry and guilt over their son.
These blows transformed this handsome and kind man into someone cold and ruthless towards women. He never gave any beautiful women seeking a "golden husband" an opportunity. No matter what strategies those privileged white-collar beauties employed, they could only admire him from afar; otherwise, they would learn what it meant to feel "bone-chilling cold." However, unbeknownst to others, he did have a lover; their relationship was limited to physical intimacy. Fu Tianming would only seek her out when he had special physiological needs, sometimes going months without visiting.
This woman is named Lina; she is a well-known socialite who is not only beautiful but also possesses exceptional social skills that have made many stars and tycoons fall at her feet. Yet she knows she cannot capture Fu Tianming's heart. Still, she has fantasized about marrying him; after all, they have known each other for two years and he has only sought her out as a woman. So she understands the importance of patience and never makes excessive demands. In fact, Fu Tianming is quite generous with her; he bought her this apartment and gives her several thousand yuan in pocket money each month. On her birthday, she receives even more gifts and money from him. He even allows her to keep another lover—Liu Qianqian's father, Pu Guoan—who is handsome but ruined his family due to gambling while pursuing this woman.
Pu Guoan met Anna at a business banquet and was immediately captivated by her seductive charm. He pursued her obsessively, even going to casinos to make money at the expense of selling everything he owned and betraying his devoted wife while abandoning his beloved daughter. Anna seemed touched by him and developed genuine feelings for him. After his downfall, she took him into her home—even leading him into the apartment that Fu Tianming had bought for their meetings.
Fu Tianming knows about this man's existence but perhaps because he never truly cared for Lina in his heart, he does not mind how she lives when he is not around. Even when Lina pleaded with him to help Pu Guoan with some small business ventures, he gave him one hundred thousand yuan.
