In her past life, Sophia was stripped of her assets and strangled to death atop the Century Tower by her husband, Jack, and his mistress, Lexie. Reborn to the night five years earlier—when she had originally signed a nominee shareholding agreement—she immediately turned the tables: she slapped the scoundrel, froze all his accounts, exposed her sister-in-law’s fake pregnancy scheme, won over Jack’s trusted aide, purged eight corrupt executives, and forced out two bribe-taking board members. Alexander stood steadfastly by her side throughout, injecting capital and orchestrating a strategic offensive. In a desperate, last-ditch effort, Jack conspired with his remaining cronies to steal fabricated secrets and incite sixteen suppliers to terminate their contracts, only for Sophia to completely neutralize every move. Ultimately, Jack and Lexie were caught red-handed during a deal at the docks; the entire family was imprisoned, and Jack’s divorce claims were dismissed. Sophia took the helm of Seahawk, reaching the pinnacle of her career, and found a happy new beginning in love with Alexander.
