[The heroine falls in love after marriage + the male lead has been plotting for a long time + the second male lead faces a regretful chase]
Wen Yi'an had spent twenty-four years as the eldest daughter of the Wen family before discovering she was a fake heiress.
After learning the truth about her birth, her betrothed, Lu Zhiheng, broke off their engagement in the middle of the night.
At the same time, Shen Yanzhou, the decisive heir to Shen Group, suddenly returned from abroad. He came to her with the token of the childhood betrothal their families had arranged years ago and said he wanted to honor their engagement.
Wen Yi'an thought Shen Yanzhou was simply looking out for her as his “little sister,” but then he told her:
“From now on, think of me as your husband.”
“That includes everything married couples do. We have to do that, too.”

Later, Lu Zhiheng came to win her back with flowers in hand. He said to Shen Yanzhou, “You only married her because of that childhood engagement. How much do you really care about her?”
Shen Yanzhou replied simply, “First come, first served. I was here first.”
That evening, Wen Yi'an found a photo album in a desk drawer. The handwriting on the backs of the photos grew from youthful to mature:
Wen Yi'an, 14. Good luck on your high school entrance exams.
Wen Yi'an, 18. Congratulations on growing up.
Wen Yi'an, 26. I'm back.
