[Reunited after years apart + mutual healing]
Shen Nian, the least valued stepdaughter of the second branch of the Shen family, is attending the birthday banquet of the Gu family's patriarch in Yunjing for the first time in eighteen years. She plans to do what she always does: stand in a corner, watch the drama unfold, and keep a low profile. But as she opens her mouth to take a bite of cake, she locks eyes with Gu Zeyun, the Gu family's most doted-on young master, who promptly declares her his fiancée.
*
Fortunately, Gu Zeyun isn't really interested in her. She makes it through four years as his fiancée in name only, until his first love returns from abroad. Just as she's about to make a clean break, Gu Zeyun proposes! She tries to run, only to run into Gu Yushen, the second young master, who's returned from overseas to seek revenge...
*
Gu Yushen wants to destroy the entire Gu family!
But shamelessly, he starts with Shen Nian, the person least involved and most innocent of all.
No wonder hatred has blinded him!
Gu Yushen tries to avoid her, to steer clear of her, yet can't help drawing near and falling in love with her...
*
Reunited after years apart, he falls in love with her all over again.
