Reckoning with Lies: Tess's Journey Back

Sheng Yankai's former girlfriend drugged him to force a marriage. He got out of the room and ended up spending the night with Lin Xiawei, a stranger. When the pregnancy surfaced, the ex paid a man named Wu Hao to claim the children as his. Lin gave birth to quadruplets. Three of them were disposed of by the ex and one was left with Wu Hao, who then moved in with Lin as her partner. He kept putting off the marriage registration for seven years while working on her mind, and when he finally had her house in his name he walked out, taking up with another woman. Lin runs a noodle stall and raises her daughter on very little. One day she helps an elderly man with dementia who has wandered off, and through him she meets Sheng Yankai, the head of a large corporation, who turns out to be the old man's grandson. He comes to repay her and finds himself drawn to her. He has spent years searching for the woman from that night, and he begins to wonder whether she has been standing in front of him.
