At eight years old, Ji Yi'an watched with her own eyes as her last remaining family member, her grandmother, was murdered.
Consumed by the flames, her grandmother's body was reduced to nothing. Snow fell in June, and her heart fell with it.
Kneeling before her grandmother's tombstone, she swore to herself: one day, she would take Ji Hengshu's head and avenge her grandmother.
Later, the Gu family took her in, and her personality changed completely. Gu Beichen brought light to her dark childhood.
At sixteen, Gu Yi'an met sixteen-year-old Xu Muan.
Xu Muan: "Hi, I'm Xu Muan, the 'an' in Gu Yi'an."
He became another ray of light in her life.
But because of her own inferiority and the secret in her heart, she let that light go.
She thought life would remain peaceful.
But in her second year of high school, fate played another cruel joke on her:
Her adoptive mother suddenly suffered a heart attack and died despite resuscitation efforts.
Her adoptive father couldn't accept it and took his own life.
Gu Beichen went to prison.
Gu Yi'an fell into despair once more, her heart turned to ashes. She fell gravely ill and never recovered.
Eight years later,
She made a powerful comeback and began her life of "fighting back."
At twenty-six, she met Xu Muan again.
The two reconciled and went on to live happily ever after, with no restraint between them.
