Summary

At eight, An Weixue is driven from home by her father and his mistress Yao Danfeng. After her mother dies in grief, she returns to the border city of Luocheng full of hatred, assumes a false name, and infiltrates her father's nightclub, Sleeping Moon Tower, starting as a drink server while waiting for a chance at revenge. She risks rescuing a girl forced into the trade, offends the powerful, and in a moment of danger becomes entangled with Pei Jingkang. Their names echo the line "the humiliation of Jingkang is still unavenged," and their identities and family grudges are revealed layer by layer amid intertwined love and hate and brewing conspiracies. In the end, An Weixue chooses between truth and forgiveness, reaching an ending where she and Pei Jingkang stay together.

Editor's review

A typical women's modern wealthy-family revenge romance. The opening's nightclub infiltration and origin mystery grab attention, with revenge and romance advancing in parallel, tight pacing, and effective twists and emotional tension. Suited to readers who prefer revenge satisfaction, long-suffering heroines, and devoted male leads. Weaknesses are that the nightclub and wealthy-family tropes feel formulaic, some plot points rely on coincidence, and logical fine-tuning is average.
