In City A, Mingde Private Middle School is an elite academy where all the students are either from wealthy families or are outstanding students.

A corner of the campus,

A girl with a slightly round face, speaking with dissatisfaction, questioned the handsome boy in front of her:

"Gu Beicheng, I heard your fiancée is coming back to China soon, and the whole school is talking about it. Have you thought about what will happen to Shanshan?"

Yan Shanshan, whom she mentioned, stood right behind her. The girl was pure and beautiful, with eyes full of affection, like a jasmine flower blooming in the morning.

Yan Shanshan gripped the girl's sleeve tightly, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, "An Qing, stop talking. Anyway, wealthy families like theirs only care about social standing."

"What am I compared to the young lady of the Shen Group? A handbag she casually buys is worth a year's living expenses for me. They're not wrong; I was just indulging in wishful thinking."

Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to hold back her tears. Her pitiful appearance made Gu Beichen feel heartbroken.

Gu Beichen has a handsome face and a somewhat unrestrained smile. He is tall and slender. He unbuttons the top two buttons of his school uniform shirt, revealing his collarbone. He drapes his coat over his shoulders and puts his hands in his pockets. This posture cannot hide his innate aristocratic temperament.

He looked at Yan Shanshan, both angry and heartbroken, and said, "Shanshan, what kind of person do you take me for? Since I said you're my girlfriend, then you'll only ever be my woman. I won't even give a second glance to those other low-class women!"

Yan Shanshan turned her face to one side and gently bit her lower lip. "That's true, but you're still someone else's fiancé. I don't want to be seen as a third party."

Upon hearing this, Gu Beichen gradually approached Yan Shanshan, his face showing both shyness and anger, and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely break off the engagement with that woman."

That was just a childhood betrothal; she went abroad when she was three, and I don't even know what she looks like now.

What if she's ugly? Just looking at her makes me sick, let alone want to be with her! Besides, why should my life's most important event be tied to someone I don't like at all?

Gu Beichen's friends, Yan Siming and Su Jingyu, chimed in, "That's right, she's just a fiancée he's never met. Yan Shanshan, don't you understand Beichen's feelings for you?"

Last time it was your birthday, Beichen spent a whole month's allowance on that necklace for you. He didn't go to his favorite Western restaurant again that month.

Yan Shanshan's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, her anger subsiding a little. She gave Gu Beicheng a playful glare, naturally having no doubt about his feelings for her.

However, Yan Shanshan still had some reservations.

She lowered her head and said, "But you mentioned breaking off the engagement to Auntie last time, and she punished you for it. Otherwise, I think we should just call it off. Your fiancée, that young lady, is more worthy of you. I'll grant your wish..."

As Yan Shanshan spoke, she looked at Gu Beichen, her eyes glistening with tears, her eyes conveying her reluctance to part.

Gu Beichen looked at Yan Shanshan with heartache, stepped forward and hugged her, gently comforting her, "Silly Shanshan, I don't want anyone but you. I can't get through to my mother. When Shen Chumo comes back, I'll talk to her myself and make her obediently break off the engagement, otherwise..."

Gu Beichen's eyes suddenly turned fierce. "Don't blame me for using underhanded tactics."

"Beicheng, don't do this. She is, after all, your fiancée."

Gu Beichen scoffed, "Her? She's not worthy of being my fiancée!"

Gu Beichen lifted Yan Shanshan's chin with one hand and said domineeringly, "Shanshan, you are the only woman I recognize in this life. Stay obediently by my side, do you hear me?"

Yan Shanshan blushed and buried her head in Gu Beichen's arms.

Yan Siming and Su Jingyu exchanged a glance, silently mourning for Shen Chumo, who hadn't shown up yet. It seemed she was in for a rough time after provoking Gu Beichen's fiery temper.

Airport in City A

A young girl walked slowly towards them from a distance. She was tall and had an outstanding presence.

She was pulling an elegant suitcase as she slowly walked towards a black sedan, stopping gracefully in front of it.

What is striking are her long, slender, and fair hands, as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade.

Then, she gently removed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright and captivating eyes, with a faint smile in them, like spring flowers in bloom, mesmerizing and enchanting.

"Uncle Wang, it's been a long time." The young girl parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.

The man referred to as Uncle Wang was none other than the Shen family's butler.

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, momentarily lost in thought, his breathing becoming rapid.

The girl's long, slightly wavy, ink-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, resembling seaweed dancing in the wind, full of life and vitality. Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, clear and transparent, with sparkling starlight in her light brown pupils, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, captivating all who beheld them.

Her soft, full red lips were like ripe cherries, and her delicate, exquisite nose was like a finely crafted work of art, gracefully set on her fair and jade-like face.

Add to that her beautifully smooth cheeks and flawless, delicate face, and she was undeniably a stunning beauty, a woman of unparalleled beauty who could topple kingdoms.

Butler Wang looked astonished and asked incredulously, "Miss Chu Mo?"

Shen Chumo nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Uncle Wang, don't you recognize me? Didn't my uncle show you my picture?"

Butler Wang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, Master Shen already showed it to me."

He pondered to himself, truly not expecting this. Although he had indeed thought Shen Chumo was quite beautiful when he saw the photos, photos are lifeless; a beautiful woman in a photo may be beautiful, but she lacks soul.

However, when he saw her in person, he found that she was a hundred times more beautiful than in the photos! The cold, impersonal camera simply could not fully capture Shen Mo's unparalleled beauty.

At that moment, passersby unconsciously fixed their gazes on her, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

"so beautiful."

"Where did this fairy sister come from?"

"Is this person someone who stepped out of a comic book?"

As the crowd grew larger, it looked like a riot was about to break out.

Butler Wang made a quick decision, asking Shen Mo to get into the car before driving away, leaving behind a group of people still staring longingly at the rear of the car.

Along the way, Shen Chumo silently looked at the scenery outside the window, but in reality, she was chatting with the system in her mind.

"Tuanzi, is your mission in this world to break off your engagement with the male lead, Gu Beichen? And also to prevent the Shen family from going bankrupt?"

A sweet, childlike voice rang in Shen Chumo's mind: "Yes, Momo, the male lead Gu Beichen and the female lead Yan Shanshan are already together."

Shen Chumo, Gu Beicheng's childhood fiancée, became an obstacle to the male and female leads getting together.

In the original story, after the original owner returned to China, Gu Beicheng demanded that the engagement be called off, but she refused. As a result, Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan experienced many breakups and reconciliations, and went through many relationship crises.

Therefore, after Gu Beichen took over the Gu family, out of revenge, he directly bankrupted the Shen family.

Unable to bear the blow, Shen Chumo committed suicide.

So, Momo, as long as you annul the engagement, the male and female leads can be together smoothly, and the Shen family won't suffer Gu Beicheng's revenge. That way, both tasks will be accomplished.

Shen Chumo nodded: "It sounds pretty simple."

Judging from the original storyline, the Shen family was initially on par with the Gu family in terms of strength, neither being more powerful than the other.

So what exactly caused the Shen family to gradually decline, and how did the Shen family's great ship completely sink just one year after Gu Beicheng took over the Gu family?

Is this what they call the male lead's halo?
