Li Shuyu and He Mingxuan grew up together. Li Shuyu had loved He Mingxuan since childhood, but he always treated her with indifference. When Li Shuyu was sixteen, she saved He Mingxuan. After losing both her parents at eighteen, she moved in with the He family. While He Mingxuan was at university, Li Shuyu used the debt he owed her for saving his life to stop him from getting together with Jiang Xue, and succeeded in marrying him. They have been married for three years. Although He Mingxuan is forced by his grandmother to come home every night, he usually waits until Li Shuyu has gone to bed before returning, then tries to leave before she wakes up the next morning. The two rarely see each other.
Over those three years, Li Shuyu gave up the dream and career she loved most to become a devoted housewife, but she still couldn't warm He Mingxuan's heart. Meanwhile, Jiang Xue, the woman He Mingxuan has always cherished, is about to return from abroad. Li Shuyu suddenly feels it's time to let go, and asks for a divorce…
After the divorce, Li Shuyu picks up the dream she once abandoned and devotes herself completely to her career. He Mingxuan, however, can't get used to it. He tries everything to make his presence felt and discovers what it's like to chase after his wife only to have her turn away…
