It is common knowledge in high society that the royal family has a pair of twin sisters who do not look alike, and the older sister was born only a few minutes earlier than the younger sister.
Although they are twins, their circumstances are as different as their appearances.
The elder sister, Gong Xiangru, is a model socialite praised by everyone in high society. She is quiet and elegant, and has become the most ideal daughter-in-law candidate for many wealthy and noble families.
She began to formally engage in family affairs at the age of fifteen, and after coming of age, she joined the Gongzu family. In just a few months, she used her genius business acumen to secure several profitable projects for the Gongzu family.
In an instant, they became an outstanding new generation representative who was unparalleled in high society.
Under Gong Xiangru's dazzling aura, Gong Ning's existence seemed extremely obtrusive.
Everyone knows that Gong Ning, the third young lady of the Gong family, is born rebellious and willful.
Born into nobility, yet he was as unruly and rebellious as a wild child.
One is an outstanding role model praised and accepted by everyone, while the other is a rebellious and unruly person who makes people frown.
Despite being sisters who are incredibly close, their lives are worlds apart, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm.
Few people know that everything was fine until the two sisters were five years old.
Close girlfriends would sleep in the same bed, secretly hiding under the covers and telling each other childish and funny stories.
She would often wake up her big, round cat from its sleep on sunny days and run around the garden playing hide-and-seek with it.
Although the big cat, who was particularly tired during the day, was not happy, the two little people always had many strange little ideas to make the lazy cat youthful and lively.
Although the two little ones were only a short stature at the time, they were always like mischievous monkeys, turning the originally quiet Moonlight Garden into a scene of cats raging and dogs barking.
If only we had protected this lively scene with all our might back then.
Will those later tragedies, where everything has changed and people are no longer the same, still happen?
...
Thirteen years ago, Gong Shaoyan, the patriarch of the Gong clan, was betrayed by his confidant. In a fit of anger, the old man Gong suffered a heart attack and fell seriously ill.
The clan leader's trusted right-hand man, who had been trusted for most of his life and held most of the clan's secrets, betrayed him.
This means that the entire Gong family will face a life-or-death struggle.
The Miyako clan experienced its first large-scale internal strife since migrating to the United States. Coupled with the global financial crisis that swept the world due to the US subprime mortgage crisis at the time, the Miyako clan's already dire situation was further exacerbated.
Thirteen years ago, Gong Ning and Gong Xiangru were still innocent little ones who knew nothing, and were even waiting for their upcoming fifth birthday party with naive faces.
Unbeknownst to them, their grandfather, who had been in charge of most of the palace clan's affairs, had fallen ill, and all the burdens had fallen on their father's shoulders.
At that time, Lu Weixi's gentleness and grace were ingrained in her bones. Like most noblewomen in the world, she did not have a strong ambition. In fact, because of Queen Lancelot's pampered upbringing, she was not so assertive at heart, and was even a little weak.
So much so that when the royal family faced such a precarious situation, her first reaction was cowardice.
However, as a century-old family, its century of development and continuation has given it experience and trump cards to resist dangers, which are only used as a last resort.
At that time, the Gong family faced not only widespread economic paralysis, but also the constant danger of being kidnapped by the mafia.
After all, the royal family, which was in turmoil at the time, was located on the weakest link in the competition between various forces. They were a coveted piece of meat that everyone wanted a slice of.
In a desperate situation, Gong Xiaojing, who was appointed to the mission, dispatched a private plane to have his hidden guards escort Lu Weixi and the children back to Yuexi Garden in China.
Even though it was China more than a decade ago, it was still a minefield that the covert forces of various countries dared not easily touch.
Grandpa Gong was in a deep coma at the time and was in a secluded room in the Nan Family Hospital, where he was temporarily safe.
Gong Xiaojing watched the plane leave, the deep night around him gradually becoming imbued with his determination to fight to the death.
That time, the Gong clan was reborn from the ashes, rising strong once again to establish itself in the world.
However, those broken pieces have still not been recovered to this day.
There are three most beautiful phrases in the world: lost and found, long-awaited reunion, and a false alarm.
But they never made up.
Like a broken mirror, even if it is pieced together and glued back together, how can you remove the cracks?
It can't be removed; no matter how you disguise or cover it up, it will always leave a tragic mark.
Making up is easy, things are back to normal...
It's impossible!
If she could do it all over again, Gong Ning would rather not have boarded that plane, the plane that carried her to the beginning of her nightmare.
Do not have such terrifying memories, those purgatory-like memories that devoured her passion for a better life across lifetimes.
There are only a few mundane matters in the world, and seven or eight unpredictable things in life.
What she most wanted to forget, ironically remained vivid in her memory.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? It's just that Mom saved your sister first in the heat of the moment and didn't have time for you, so you were thrown off the plane? You were just the one who wasn't chosen. You still haven't gotten over it after all these years?"
Luo Shuang's slightly teasing voice instantly snapped Gong Ning out of her daze.
Her lips moved slightly, and a salty taste came from the corner of her mouth. Gong Ning blinked, and tears slid down her already tear-streaked cheeks again.
Yes, she was just a child who wasn't chosen!
If only it were that simple!
"It seems your investigation wasn't very complete or accurate. How do you know I was thrown down there?"
