[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.

When Liliana was still in the dressing room, she took some time to focus on the true purpose of the banquet. She looked at her own reflection in the full-length mirror, thinking how her appearance right now was her armor for tonight.
A white qipao full-length dress became Liliana's choice. The skirt gracefully twirled around her waist, following each of her movements.
"Fourth Young Miss, you're such a goddess! You'll surely charm everyone in the ballroom!"
The stylist's praise prompted a chuckle out of Liliana's mouth. Her lips were colored with a vibrant red shade.
"Hehe, thank you, Miss Nian. You've worked hard."
Liliana smiled while standing in front of the mirror.
Red lace adorned the quarter sleeves of the qipao dress, up to Liliana's shoulders and the Mandarin collar. The right part of the white bodice was embroidered with red plum blossoms. A red knot tassel dangled from the last flower.
