The protagonist Lin Ce, 22 years old, graduated from an ordinary university. On his girlfriend's birthday, he wanted to surprise her with a gift he had saved up for three months to buy, but he bumped into his girlfriend being intimate with a rich second generation in a coffee shop. After his girlfriend saw him, not only was she not ashamed, but she mocked him in front of the whole cafe: "Lin Ce, is your monthly salary enough to buy my pair of shoes? Stop pestering me. An honest person like you deserves to be poor for the rest of your life."
