In order to escape the control of his family, Pengmai got married to Shang Zhan, whom he had never met before, after being introduced by Wang Nian's friend Shang Yuanhong. Shang Zhan concealed his identity as the CEO and pretended to be an ordinary white-collar worker, testing and cynicizing Pengmai in every possible way. In the process of getting along, Pengmai mistook Shang Zhan for being an uneducated person who was greedy for pleasure. He and Shang Zhan kept having misunderstandings. Later, he "cured" Shang Zhan in order to help his best friend test medicine. The two went from tit-for-tat to secret feelings.
