Zhan Ling’er and her family disappeared four or five years ago, but Ye Guangtao never gave up searching for her.
Over the past few years, Ye Guangtao has had several benefactors, and he has changed a great deal.
He has gained real authority at Jian Medical and partnered with a woman known as Sister Xiang to open a restaurant.
Young and successful, he has no shortage of female admirers, but he has always stayed true to his love for Zhan Ling’er.
When Ye Guangtao gets word of Zhan Ling’er, he buys a plane ticket abroad.
But to his surprise, Zhan Ling’er returns home alone. Her father, who once stood in the way of their love, has died in an accident overseas.
Zhan Ling’er becomes not only his girlfriend again, but also his colleague.
However, an ambitious boss’s son, a greedy business partner, an immature younger sister, an idle father, and a domineering, stubborn stepmother all drain Ye Guangtao’s energy.
Worse still, Zhan Ling’er is talented and beautiful, the center of attention wherever she goes, and it isn’t long before she attracts plenty of admirers.
Worried that waiting too long might lead to trouble, Ye Guangtao tentatively gets in touch with Zhan Ling’er’s relatives.
He never expects that his attempt to ask for her hand in marriage will bring her father’s creditors to their door.
Her father is gone, but does that mean she has to repay his debts?
The enormous financial claims are far beyond what Ye Guangtao can afford.
At this point, one of Zhan Ling’er’s suitors offers to take care of the problems for her.
Ye Guangtao has no choice but to reconsider their relationship.
He lives in a prosperous age, yet was born into a poor family.
Ye Guangtao devotes himself wholeheartedly, while Zhan Ling’er keeps herself above reproach.
Should he stay true to his original feelings, hold on to Zhan Ling’er, and fulfill his ideal of a love that makes them both happy? Or should he let her go so she can find a better future?
