After Refusing to Be a Stepping Stone, I Shine Alone Plot:

Lin Wan was the 'invisible support' behind CEO Gu Jingshen—for three years, she covered his love scandals, cleaned up his project messes, and even took the heat for his family's arranged marriage. That is, until she caught him holding a new lover and mocking: 'Lin Wan is just a stepping stone; discard her when done.' Realizing her sincerity was merely a tool to him, she handed over evidence of Gu's commercial fraud that night, pushing him into the public eye. She then took over her mother's niche beauty brand. When the once 'shadow' became a new favorite in the fashion industry, and when Gu begged for reconciliation with tears, Lin Wan stood on the award stage holding the 'Annual Emerging Designer' trophy and smiled: 'I was never anyone's stepping stone—I am my own light.'
