Ma Yihe comes from a privileged family, but she resolutely breaks with her parents to elope with her online boyfriend, Liu Jiayang. This impulsive choice begins a difficult seven-year marriage. Her in-laws make life miserable for her at every turn, but blinded by love, she quietly endures it. However, when her sexist mother-in-law goes so far as to try to sell her only daughter as a child bride, Ma Yihe can no longer stand by and do nothing. She makes up her mind to move out of her in-laws' home.
Proud and concerned about appearances, she has never reached out to her family or childhood friends all these years. An accident brings her back into contact with one of those old friends, and through them she slowly reconnects with both families. Once devoted entirely to her family, she gave everything to her role as a housewife. But after enduring a series of upheavals, including her father's death, she finally awakens and resolves to live as her true self.
Her beloved husband, Liu Jiayang, is honest, kind, and responsible, but he has a secret. Their online romance was no accident: Liu Jiayang conspired with a classmate who disliked Ma Yihe to keep her from getting together with her wealthy childhood friend, Lu Yichen, who has always loved her deeply. After Ma Yihe returns from a class reunion, conflict erupts, and Liu Jiayang is consumed by resentment. As Ma Yihe struggles to find her own worth, how will Liu Jiayang keep his secret? Where will this dual struggle for a marriage and personal growth ultimately lead?
