When an old house catches fire, there's no saving it. Yinhua was born into a blended family. Each of her parents already had a child, and they needed a child together to hold the family together. Yinhua's birth violated the family-planning policy, so her parents were fined. And since Yinhua was a girl, they didn't like her much. In middle age, her father, Jia Dequan, fell in love and unhesitatingly abandoned his wife, leaving their once-comfortable home in ruins. As the family's fortunes rose and fell, Yinhua struggled through a difficult childhood. At work, she unexpectedly meets Yifeng, a rich young man who falls in love with her at first sight. Thus begins his arduous quest to win her over.
