There were two crucial "five years" in Li Mai's life.
In the first five years, she used all her strength to love a man named Zhou Songyan, but she only got him to leave without saying goodbye, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a heartbroken person.
In the second five years, she swallowed the bitter pill alone, crawling and wallowing in the mud of life, learning to support herself and her children.
When she was finally about to bury the past and start a new life, the man who had disappeared for five years re-entered her world with a completely different and superior attitude.
He is the mysterious prince of Beijing, the incarnation of capital who can turn his hands into clouds and rain.
When they met again at the wine shop, he mocked in public: "Li Mai, aren't you going to marry a rich man? Are you marrying yourself off?"
She forced a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your concern. It'll be over soon."
He thought she was still the vain woman who needed him to look down at her.
Little did he know that she was no longer the Li Mai she was five years ago.
Little did they know that there was already a bond between them that was constantly parting with each other.
When the truth is revealed, who will bear the pain and regret that gnaws at the bones and burns the heart? Where will this love and punishment, five years late, go?
