Hu Zhiqing loved her husband Fu Jingchuan deeply, but was betrayed at the peak of her career and relationship. Fu Wei seized all the property and not only forced her to divorce, but also pushed her to serious injuries during the dispute, mistakenly thought she was dead and buried her. Hu Zhiqing miraculously survived. With the help of her junior classmate Mu Yanchu, she underwent plastic surgery and changed her name to Shen Zhiwei. She returned with a new identity and vowed to make Fu Jingchuan pay back tenfold. Shen Zhiwei approached Fu Jingchuan as a successful painter. In a series of elaborate plans, she used interlocking strategies such as gambling, "ghost" intimidation, seduction and counter-murder to gradually dismantle Fu's financial resources, connections and psychological defenses.
