SYNOPSIS:

  "The world is not a lovely place,? which is why we yearn for all the wonderful things it has to offer. This is what 'Fight for all that's beautiful in the world' stands for." - Lu Mengjie

  *******

  Because of how intense the glow was as a shooting star passed by, people began making their wishes. They had no idea that even that star had once lost her way while travelling alone in the dark. She fell over and over again, each time rising back up and carrying on with her wounds. She continued to fly, doing her best to glide through the cold and lonely night.

  One day, a tragic accident happened. Lu Mengjie woke up with no recollection of her identity or anyone around her. Without her memories, she was like a blank canvas. She woke up in an unfamiliar place, only to be filled with the curiosity of who she was…… that was until the Devil from her past finally appeared.

  He was known for his ruthlessness, a cold Devil. He only cared for himself and no one else. He was a selfish tyrant walking freely in this world he saw as hell.

  Even after understanding all the evilness in him, Lu Mengjie chose to see the good inside him, ignoring all the danger he could bring. She believed and wished for the better, giving him the chance to view the world in a different way and that he was also someone capable of being loved.

  Join Lu Mengjie as she unravels the mystery of her accident and the enigma that surrounds the Devil in her memory. Their love will be tested. Lives will be lost. Love conquers all but will their love be strong enough to withstand what's coming their way?——

  EXCERPT:

  The man that Lu Mengjie humiliated earlier was now surrounding her with his friends.

  "Hey miss, come with us quietly if you don't want any trouble," one of the men warned.

  "Why should I come with you?" She raised a brow and even crossed her arms. "Can you please move aside?"

  The man who tried to hit on her earlier glared angrily at her. He rashly grabbed her wrist.

  Lu Mengjie's brow twitched because of the pain. "You know I can scream, right?"

  He snickered. "Go on, try screaming. Let's see if-"

  "Darling!" She shouted, catching him off-guard.

  One of the men instinctively covered her mouth and even by doing so, she remained calm. Instead, she turned her gaze to the man who was now walking back their way.

  Yong Liwei only noticed that she wasn't following him anymore when he got on the elevator car so he went back to check on her only to see her surrounded by men. His eyes darkened at the sight of the other man's hand covering her mouth, and another man, holding her wrist.

  The group was surprised. They never expected that she would have a companion with her.

  The man who was holding her wrist, pulled her towards him which made his friend let go of her in an instant. He glared back at Yong Liwei. "What are you looking at? Scram! She is my girlfriend!"

  "Girlfriend?" He raised a brow, amused. He drew his eyes back at the woman who just rolled her eyes in disgust. "Is my wife cheating on me on our first day of marriage?"

  Wife…… The men were all surprised at how he addressed her. She was married?

  "No way I'm cheating on you!" She suddenly acted all weak. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she looked at him. "Husband, they are bullying me! This man was trying to hit on me earlier and I rejected him so now he's trying to get back! Huhuhu!"

  The temperature around them suddenly dropped. The men felt like they were teleported to Mt. Everest with a snow lion sending fear in their bodies as it slowly approached them. Their faces went ghastly as if blood was drained from their bodies.

  On the other hand, Lu Mengjie's expression was different. She was smiling and her eyes were shining, sparkling brightly like stars as she watched him approached them with elegance. The majestic air around him made them feel like they were in the presence of a king, a king who was about to slay his enemies on the battlefield. Such presence was overwhelming. He resembled someone and she couldn't help but compare them both.

  "I don't like dealing with troublesome things but when it comes to my wife, I cannot overlook something like this." He stopped right in front of them. He reached out his hand, waiting for the other guy to release her. "Either you release her and give her back to me, or tomorrow you'll be seeing your father's company go down, Lian Liu."

  The guy flinched, both in fear and surprise when he heard his name from the man's mouth. Lian Liu was well-known in the entertainment circle thanks to his father. Their business was going well ever since his father was able to get their company in partnership with the Nebuloud Property Group Incorporation, one of the largest real estate investment trusts and one of the largest shopping mall operator in Asia.

  "Y-you're bluffing!" Lian Liu stuttered. He was oblivious on who the other guy was. "How can you even do that when you're not Yong Liwei?"

  The other man narrowed his eyes. "Then why don't I give your father a call? Let's see if I'm this 'Yong Liwei' you knew." He took out his phone from his pocket.

  The moment Lian Liu saw him take out his phone, he couldn't help but release Lu Mengjie's wrist. His face was pale as sheets as if he has seen a ghost. No one knew how Yong Liwei looked except for his father and some other business leaders. A small guy like him wasn't blessed to even catch a glimpse of him since that guy was known to have a low profile. What if this guy was a friend of Yong Liwei or maybe even the man himself? It would be too risky to take that chance.

  Lu Mengjie massaged her wrist. She looked at the bruise that formed because of the tight hold of Lian Liu. She ?r??n?d, "seriously. You should treat a woman better. No wonder women as smart as me runs away from you."

  The guy clenched his fists tight. He gritted his teeth and wanted to retort but he was in the presence of someone he didn't know. He glanced at his other men and ordered, "This is a waste of time. Let's go!"

  But before they could even take a step away, Yong Liwei's icy voice was heard. "Wait a minute."

  They all turned to look at him only to see the dark expression on his face while he was staring at the bruise on the woman's wrist.

  "Kneel and apologize to my wife."

  Yong Liwei landed his eagle-sharp eyes at them. He was like a predator, ready to jump and attack. "Kneel."

  The sudden pressure that was coming from him made them want to do it but their pride held them up. There's no way they were going to kneel and apologize!

  "Do I need to repeat myself for the third time?"——
