Summary
In her past life, Nova Donald was despised by Caleb Langdon, yet he had no choice but to marry her when his family fell on hard times.
Over the next twenty years, Nova helped him rise to prominence—she gave up her education for him, bore his children, and paved his way to success.
As his fortunes grew and his family business expanded, he turned around and brought his first love into his life.
In the end, Nova was imprisoned for life, and her children met a tragic end. Reborn into her high school years, Nova publicly calls off the engagement.
Caleb sneers dismissively, “Nova! I’ll be waiting for the day you come crawling back to me on your knees!”
Nova devotes herself to her studies, earns direct admission to a top-tier university, and after a stunning transformation, astonishes everyone.
Meanwhile, the Langdon family is on the brink of bankruptcy. Caleb, once the golden boy, has fallen into the gutter—not only growing sick of his first love but also being cuckolded.
When Caleb sees Nova getting engaged to his archrival, his eyes turn red with desperation. He drops to his knees in public to beg for forgiveness, only to be met with Nova’s merciless mockery:
“When I loved you, you couldn’t care less. Now that I don’t, you come crawling back. How pathetic.”
