At the Altar, I Left Him for His Enemy

Sloane, the heir to a century-old Napa winery, has deeply loved her childhood sweetheart Tristan since childhood, and has been using money and her family's resources to help his company, only to be long subjected to his humiliation, control and abuse. On the eve of their wedding, Sloane clashed with Mallory, Tristan's secretary and secret mistress; without asking for the facts, Tristan publicly humiliated Sloane and even threw her into the icy lake as punishment. Rhys, the CEO of an international hotel group who has secretly loved Sloane for years, risked his life to rescue her. After this life-or-death experience, Sloane finally saw Tristan's true colors, and her heart stirred for Rhys, who had saved her at the cost of his own life. On the wedding day, she publicly tore up her engagement to Tristan, turned around and married Rhys, his biggest business rival, and showed affection with Rhys. However, Tristan was convinced that Sloane was just jealous and would come back to beg him sooner or later, so he continued to belittle her, only to watch her withdraw her support and truly fall in love with Rhys. As Tristan's company teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, he tried to reconcile with Sloane. At this time, Mallory suddenly became pregnant with another man's child; she lied that the baby was Tristan's and framed Sloane by faking a miscarriage, only for her pregnancy scam to be exposed publicly by Sloane and Rhys. The deceived Tristan lashed out at Mallory, and in desperation, Mallory accidentally killed him. In the end, Sloane gained both career success and true love with Rhys, completely freed herself from the shadows of the past, and embraced her own new life.
