Cheng Nian's father was framed by a close friend, driving the company into bankruptcy and leaving it saddled with enormous debts. With no other choice, she returned to the hometown where she had grown up. Having fallen from her pedestal, she was ostracized by her classmates after moving back to Tonghua Town. During this low point in her life, she met Fang Yuanshen, a rebellious young man, and Jiang Jingqing, a gentle and refined one. Their story began there.
Many years later, whenever Cheng Nian thought back on those bleak days, she would smile and tell people, “Honestly, I don't think life was all that hard back then. Because Fang Yuanshen was there that year.”
