Li Xiwen was once the heiress to Haining's largest pharmaceutical group, Li Pharmaceuticals. When she was 18, her mother suddenly died of an illness. On her deathbed, she insisted that Xiwen get engaged to Qi Xiaohai and forbade her from seeing Zhou Shuo, her childhood friend, ever again. Unable to bear his wife's death, Xiwen's father was devastated. Later, the company went bankrupt and he was sent to prison. From then on, the Li family was torn apart, and Qi Xiaohai mysteriously vanished after getting engaged to Xiwen.
Later, Li Xiwen stumbled upon clues suggesting that her mother's death was suspicious, and that her father's imprisonment and the company's bankruptcy were not as simple as they seemed. Determined to uncover the truth and get her father out of prison, Xiwen received unexpected help from a mysterious stranger. She gradually fell for him, but her existing engagement kept her from confessing her feelings. Just as she was about to uncover the truth, the trail suddenly went cold. With no other choice, Xiwen married Zhou Shuo, her devoted childhood friend. She knew that the responsibilities weighing on her had long since robbed her of the right to live as she pleased. From then on, she could not be with the one she loved, and the one who loved her was not the one she loved.
