【A resilient, clearheaded heroine who doesn't lose herself in love; a composed, devoted hero. Both are each other's first and only; the second male lead has to grovel to win her back】
When Zhou Yitang was eighteen, her uncle's family threw her out, while the childhood friend she'd grown up with got engaged to her cousin.
Six years later, she returns to Haicheng for her grandmother, determined to focus on her career. But Jian Lin, a forceful rich heir, barges into her life and stirs feelings in Zhou Yitang she has never experienced before.
She hesitates and struggles, but in the end, she falls for him during a grand public confession that becomes the talk of the whole city.
Just as Zhou Yitang is congratulating herself on having found the right man, a truth that cuts to the bone slowly comes to light.
After they get together, Jian Lin often wears a melancholy look, and he always stops at the crucial moment when they are intimate. The reason behind his strange behavior is finally laid bare one rainy night, when she sees him passionately kissing another woman.
It turns out everything was an elaborate revenge plot devised by Jian Lin. His devotion was false, his love was false, and only his hatred was real.
After his mother died, Pei Yanzhi became the one his father considered an unwanted burden.
Those days were dark and bleak, but Zhou Yitang was like a bright sunflower, bringing a glimmer of light into his life.
Pei Yanzhi worked hard to make himself strong, and after six years, he finally reclaimed everything that had originally been his.
Then fate brought him and Zhou Yitang together again, but it seems he has come too late…
He watches her fall in love with another man, then sees her left battered and broken.
This time, Pei Yanzhi finally steps up to her and offers her everything he owns, saying just one thing:
“Zhou Yitang, marry me!”
