The heroine, Qian Qingfu, is proud and upright, with a strong sense of justice. Her one and only weakness is money. Born into poverty, she hasn't lost her imagination; she loves money as much as life itself and is dedicated to finding every legal, reasonable way to earn and save it.
Then, all of a sudden, a glittering golden opportunity falls from the sky, nearly knocking Qingfu senseless. The best part is that it pays well, requires little work, and is close to home...
After looking into it carefully, she realizes the opportunity is actually a trap! The one behind it is none other than Chu Yanyao, her graduate-school classmate, with whom she has a score to settle. This monkey... no, this wicked supporting female character has called in reinforcements: her dazzlingly brilliant, sharp-witted fox of an older brother.
Under the heroine's righteous rebuke, the older brother has a change of heart and tries to lure Qingfu into his trap with a hefty sum. But an honorable person earns money honorably. After much internal struggle, Qingfu chooses justice over money, and the two begin a battle of mutual sabotage.
But even the craftiest fox can't outwit a hunter posing as prey. Under the fox of an older brother's succession of schemes, the two are forced into one new encounter after another. Through misunderstanding, getting to know each other, and finally understanding each other, they gradually let down their guard and quietly influence and change one another. She loves money and is too proud to admit it, but learns to soften. He has always put profit first, but begins striving to empathize.
She discovers that he is the very "him" who has always meant so much to her throughout her life, while he discovers that she is the very "her" he has been searching for all along, hoping to repay. They both recognize the chivalrous kindness in each other's hearts beneath their imperfect exteriors, and the equality and strength they share in spirit. At last, they join hands, bring warmth and healing to each other's imperfect childhoods, and find true happiness together.
