On the day of the wedding, the bride of Shanghai's most powerful family, the Gus, throws herself into the river.
To save her family from ruin, the illegitimate daughter Shen Ruowan is forced into a wedding dress and sent to marry into the Gu family residence.
Her new husband, Gu Jingchen, is cold as ice. He tosses her a contract and says, “You'll be free in three years.”
She thinks it's merely a transaction that benefits them both, unaware that his icy eyes have already engraved every smile and frown of hers in his heart.
When the truth comes to light and his former girlfriend returns, Shen Ruowan leaves without hesitation.
Thousands of miles away in Jiangcheng, she becomes her own guiding light again, opening a clinic and saving lives, no longer depending on anyone.
And at last, the once-untouchable Young Master Gu loses his mind.
He casts aside all his pride and travels thousands of miles just to win back the woman he pushed away himself. “Shen Ruowan, I'll spend the rest of my life repaying you for all the years I owe you.”
