In order to save her sister, Lin Che endured the humiliation and became the son-in-law of the wealthy Su family, losing all her dignity. Five years later, he received a mysterious jade pendant from his late ex-girlfriend Shen Qingyao, which contained the cultivation inheritance "Qianlongyuan". With this inheritance, he practiced quietly and began to secretly change his situation with his extraordinary abilities: saving his sister, accumulating capital, and fighting back against bullying. As his power grew, he was forced to get involved in the hidden struggle between cultivators in the city, and discovered that Shen Qingyao's death was not an accident, but related to a huge conspiracy involving ancient ruins. While protecting her family and dealing with internal strife within the Su family and powerful enemies from the outside, Lin Che must trace Shen Qingyao's footsteps to find out the truth, and emotionally face the complicated relationship with his current wife (in name only) Su Qingge and her unfinished feelings for her ex-girlfriend. In the end, between the city and the seclusion, she must find her own way to become a strong person and fulfill all her promises of protection.
