The orphan Wan He lost her parents when she was young and was raised by an old woman. After the old woman passed away, she was cornered by villagers who coveted her property. She was forced to leave the village and venture into an unknown town alone.
When she first entered the town, she was ignorant and embarrassed, and was made things difficult for her by hawkers. Fortunately, the gentle and calm Shen Yanzhi came to her rescue and took her in to work in the study. He carefully taught her literacy and life, and became her guide in the darkness.
By chance, she met the frail and transparent Su Nianchen. The two had the same soul and became each other's comfort. However, they eventually passed away due to Su Nianchen's old illness, leaving endless regrets.
On the way, she met the wanton and arrogant prodigal Lu Jingye again. He introduced her to the pleasures of the world and gave her passionate companionship. However, he finally left calmly because he knew that she had someone in his heart.
After experiencing parting and suffering, Wan He lost her timidity and transformed from a lonely and helpless little girl into a courageous and independent woman. She finally understood her true feelings, stayed with Shen Yanzhi, kept her original intention, and lived the way she wanted.
