Rumors rife in Riverfront City claimed that Lucy Grant of the Grant family and Dany Hayes of the Hayes family were a match made in heaven. As Riverfront City's most famous news anchor, Lucy was gentle, virtuous, self-disciplined, and polite—a proper lady from a distinguished family raised under three thousand house rules. At the helm of the Hayes family stood General Hayes, a man of icy composure, strict self-restraint, and unwavering authority in the military. Their powerful union was a perfect match, envied by countless onlookers. Yet even this seemingly flawless marriage began to fray. In the ninth year... Headlines blazed across newspapers once more: General Hayes caught kissing a college student. This time, Lucy did not threaten to break up the affair with tears, tantrums, or suicide, as she had the first time. Instead, she neatly clipped the page showing their kiss, handed it to General Hayes's assistant, and said calmly, "I will cover for him in front of the reporters and explain this 'misunderstanding.' As usual, I want the latest collection from Celestial Diamond at the State-owned Department Store counter..." Before she finished speaking, the assistant immediately laid out a jewelry set between them. It was exactly the design Lucy had requested. Clearly, General Hayes knew this routine all too well. And Lucy, in just half a year, had finally learned to secure the best possible deal for herself amid his infidelity. Ever since Nina Allen, the college student, had appeared, scandalous headlines had never stopped.
