[COMPLETED] ---------- "For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered." Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough! "Divorce me this instant." What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery. "Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her. But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing. "I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!" Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again. ------------ WSA 2023 Entry: Billionaire/CEO/Mafia Exclusive cover by @khaizusan (Instagram) Tags: slowburn, weaktostrong, boss-subordinate, divorce Please note that the characters are not OP from the start.

"Under the starry night sky,
they poured countless lovely words,
out of their hearts yearning."
Meeting Liliana's eyes, Lucas curled up his lips. He started taking steps toward Liliana.
Through the small microphone clipped to the collar, his voice echoed gently as he reached out a hand toward her.
"Zhinü, my eternal love, for twelve moons, my heart longs for you."
Liliana blinked slowly. She wore a sorrowful expression before she replied to Lucas. Like him, she also began walking to him.
"Oh, Niulang, how I wish time stands still when we reunite."
In the midst of everyone's enlivened whispers, Liliana and Lucas who took the role of the weaver girl and the cowherd began making their way to reunite in the center of the bridge.
Their soft steps changed to hurried ones, showing how their patience to reunite wore thin the moment they caught sight of each other.
