Ruan Nianzhi is the most pampered girl in the residential compound.
After her parents died while helping someone in danger, the adults arranged three childhood betrothals for her as a way of repaying their debt of gratitude.
In her previous life, when asked whom she wanted to marry, she blushed and chose Gu Huaizhi, the man she had long cherished.
Less than a year after their wedding, Gu Huaizhi died of an illness, and she remained a widow for him.
But ten years later, Ruan Nianzhi ran into him in Yunnan, where he was supposed to have been dead for years. He was enjoying a romantic evening with her longtime friend.
Only then did she realize that Gu Huaizhi had always loved someone else, and that his death was nothing but a carefully concocted excuse to elope with his true love.
Later, there was a car accident, and Gu Huaizhi died saving her.
