The young master Yuan Qing and his family accompanied four elderly people to live in seclusion in the countryside. Unexpectedly, they met Nangong Jingheng, who lived alone in the village, and they became husband. When the Yuanqing family saw that Nangong Jingheng was "frail", they took him into their hands and pampered him: there was a constant supply of delicious food, new clothes, and pocket money, and they never let him do any farm work. Nangong Jingheng, who has an indifferent nature, only showed some differences when he was in the same room with Yuan Qing. Under Yuan Qing's care, he gradually showed subtle emotions such as frowning, knocking on the table, counting chess, and planting flowers.
Although Yuan Qing felt that there was a generation gap between the two, they became more and more dependent on each other day after day. Even when she was pregnant, she hid it because she was afraid of worrying Nangong Jingheng, and silently shouldered the farm work with her family. It wasn't until he couldn't hide his pregnancy that he told Nangong Jingheng. After the child was born, Yuan Qing was afraid of disturbing Nangong Jingheng, so he left the child in the care of his family. However, an accident happened. Out of jealousy, a neighbor spread rumors that Nangong Jingheng had hurt his child. Yuanqing and his family misunderstood and alienated him. It happened that Yuan Qing went to the county to teach, and they got together less and left more. In the end, Nangong Jingheng returned all the gifts, chose to reconcile, and left quietly. Yuan Qing failed to find her all his life and died in depression, but unexpectedly returned to the beginning of his return to the countryside. Fate seemed to have given him a chance to start over.
