The Li Group had always been one of the most powerful companies in the capital.
For outsiders, it was a perfect empire.
But Li Xinyue knew the truth.
A beautiful building could still have cracks hidden beneath its surface.
And those cracks were caused by the people closest to them.
She sat inside her office, looking through old company records.
Every page brought back memories.
In her previous life, she had trusted these people.
She believed they cared about the Li family.
But when the Li Group faced its greatest crisis, those same people were the ones who pushed the family toward destruction.
Her eyes stopped on one name.
Li Haoran.
Her uncle.
The person who always smiled warmly in front of her.
The person who secretly wanted control of the Li Group.
In her previous life, she never noticed his schemes until it was too late.
But now…
She knew everything.
“Miss Li.”
Chen Wei entered the office.
“You have been reviewing documents for hours. Are you sure you don’t want to rest?”
Li Xinyue closed the file.
“I have rested enough.”
Her voice was calm.
“I wasted too many years.”
Chen Wei looked at her with surprise.
There was something different about the young heiress.
Before, she was beautiful but careless.
Now, she carried a confidence that made people naturally respect her.
“Prepare a list of all major projects approved in the past three years.”
“All of them?”
“Yes.”
“Especially the ones that lost money.”
Chen Wei understood immediately.
She was investigating.
At the same time, inside the Li family’s private residence…
Li Haoran placed a cup of tea on the table and smiled.
“Xinyue has suddenly become interested in the company.”
His wife looked worried.
“Do you think she noticed something?”
Li Haoran’s smile disappeared.
“Impossible.”
“That girl has always been too trusting.”
He believed Li Xinyue was still the same spoiled heiress.
He did not know that the woman he was facing now had already lived an entire lifetime.
That evening, Li Xinyue returned home.
The Gu mansion was quiet.
Without Gu Zhen, the huge house felt strangely empty.
She stood near the window, looking at the city lights.
She remembered the past.
How many nights had Gu Zhen returned home and found her ignoring him?
How many times had he wanted to talk to her, only to leave silently?
Her heart hurt.
“General Gu.”
A servant approached.
“Madam, General Gu sent a message.”
Li Xinyue immediately turned around.
“What did he say?”
The servant smiled.
“He asked if you had eaten dinner.”
Her eyes softened.
He was still thinking about her.
In her previous life, she never knew how precious that was.
“Tell him I ate.”
She paused.
Then added:
“And tell him…”
The servant waited.
“Tell him to be careful.”
Far away, Gu Zhen received the message.
The battlefield was quiet.
He looked at the words on his phone.
Tell him to be careful.
A small smile appeared on his usually cold face.
The soldiers beside him looked shocked.
Their commander…
Was smiling?
“Commander, is something wrong?”
Gu Zhen put away his phone.
“No.”
But his expression softened.
“My wife is waiting for me.”
That night, while Li Xinyue was sleeping peacefully…
A hidden figure entered the Li Group building.
A confidential document disappeared from the company archives.
Someone was moving faster than she expected.
Li Xinyue had changed the future.
But the future was changing too.
And this time, her enemies would not wait for her to discover them.
