In the fourth year of Lin Nanqiao's secret crush on Pei Yan, he became engaged to her younger sister, Lin Yuyu. Not long afterward, she heard that Pei Yan had lost his sight in a car accident.
When Lin Yuyu got the news, she made a scene, crying, threatening to throw herself off a building, and insisting she didn't want to spend her life married to a moody, violent blind man. But even if they wanted to break off the engagement, the Pei family were powerful aristocrats, and the Lin family had no say in the matter. Only then did they remember Lin Nanqiao, whom they had always ignored.
Under pressure to repay a debt of gratitude, and driven by her own secret feelings, Lin Nanqiao agreed to care for Pei Yan for six months under Lin Yuyu's name. Once the two families ended the engagement amicably, she would receive a substantial compensation payment.
Blind Pei Yan shut everyone out. The once-proud darling of the heavens had become gloomy and dispirited.
After learning that Pei Yan might regain his sight, Lin Nanqiao hardened her heart. "Pei Yan, I'm not here to comfort you. I'm here to laugh at you. If you want revenge on me, you should at least get your eyes treated first. Otherwise, as a blind man, you won't even know what I look like."
Lin Nanqiao's words were cruel, but she stayed by Pei Yan's side every moment.
Pei Yan's attitude slowly shifted from "One day, I'm going to kill this woman" to "Once my sight returns, I'll marry her."
But when Pei Yan woke up after his final successful surgery, Lin Nanqiao had vanished without a trace.

Much later, Pei Yan pinned Lin Nanqiao between his arms, leaving her no way to escape.
"Mr. Pei, you've got the wrong person!"
Pei Yan wanted nothing more than to lock her up. "Lin Nanqiao, I was blind then, not stupid."
