The male lead, Gu Jin'an, grew up in an orphanage. For the first eighteen years of his life, he was a small-town exam ace, and his excellent grades won him a place at Huaqing University. There, he met the female lead, Li Zhao. At their first meeting, Gu Jin'an thought she was an exceptionally wonderful girl. From then on, a girl named Li Zhao lived in his heart. But she already had a senior by her side, Ye Xiuyuan, who was just as exceptional as she was. They had grown up together, and Gu Jin'an knew he wasn't worthy of her, so he quietly wished them well. At the same time, he worked and studied even harder, hoping he could help her whenever she needed him.
Four years later, thanks to his hard work, Gu Jin'an became a senior employee at Huaxia Group, one of the world's top 500 companies. That same year, Ye Xiuyuan went abroad to start a business, heedless of Li Zhao's wishes. By chance, Li Zhao and Gu Jin'an met again. She recognized the warm, sunny junior she had known years ago. Gu Jin'an resembled Ye Xiuyuan in some ways, and Li Zhao and Gu Jin'an entered into a marriage of convenience.
Over the ten years they were married, Gu Jin'an placed every good thing he could find before Li Zhao, but she remained distant and indifferent. After ten years of marriage, her first love, Ye Xiuyuan, returned to the country and met with her. Li Zhao went home and asked Gu Jin'an for a divorce. At the same time, Gu Jin'an learned from his medical report that he had late-stage pancreatic cancer. In a daze, he returned home and heard his wife ask for a divorce. Exhausted in body and mind, he finally let her go, and let himself go, too.
He never returned to the villa where they had once lived. Three months later, he died in beautiful Nalati. After the divorce, Li Zhao lived alone in the empty villa and never saw Ye Xiuyuan again. She knew she regretted it. She could no longer live without Gu Jin'an, and every day, memories of their life together came back to her without her even realizing it.
