Five Years Wasted, Married the Tycoon​

Synopsis

For five years, Shen Nianwei devoted all her energy to managing Jiangcheng’s branch for her boyfriend Lu Yanchen, hoping to be transferred back to Shenzhen and marry him. However, at the company annual meeting, Lu gave her long-awaited headquarters post to Lin Tingwan, a young new assistant who constantly fawned on him. He always excused his partiality, ignoring Nianwei’s sacrifices: countless cross-city trips, lonely sick nights and hard-won business achievements. On their five-year anniversary, he rushed off to comfort the faking-injured Lin mid-dinner, even carelessly ruined the hand-knit scarf Nianwei made for him. Completely heartbroken, Nianwei gave up waiting. She reached a private agreement with Chen Zhao, the powerful head of top-tier Chen’s Group, to hold a formal wedding to cut ties with Lu. At a luxury banquet, she appeared in a wedding gown, shocking Lu and Lin. Chen Zhao publicly claimed her as his legal wife, exposing Lu’s pettiness in front of all business elites and having the pair escorted out. It turns out Chen Zhao had silently protected Nianwei three years prior when she nearly died from alcohol poisoning fighting for Lu’s project, harboring unspoken love ever since. As Chen’s appointed executive director, Nianwei seized back company control. Lin’s scheme to tamper with core data was exposed, landing her a long prison sentence. Deprived of power, Lu was exiled to a remote branch after discovering all the tickets and medical records proving Nianwei’s forgotten devotion. Finally, Nianwei married Chen Zhao sincerely, embarking on a brilliant, cherished new life free from unrequited love.
