In 1993, Zhan Qing, the son of a prominent Beijing family, is injured on a mission and brought home by a young widow from the countryside and her younger brother-in-law.
He thinks he's repaying her kindness by giving her money and a job, and taking her away from that merciless village.
Only later does he realize that he's the one who was saved.
He teaches her how to trade stocks, and she becomes a dark horse in the financial world.
He teaches her how to carry herself, and she becomes someone he can only aspire to.
The Beijing socialite heir Zhan Qing regrets one thing more than anything in his life: teaching Ye Xin how to leave him.
A story about a young widow and her younger brother-in-law climbing out of the mud, until she ultimately stands above the great families.
He offered her charity and pity; she taught him how to love.
