[Female lead's comeback + regretful pursuit + awakening of supernatural abilities]
When she learned that her fiancé, ten years her senior, was a double amputee, her older sister fled the marriage. The Lin and Huo families were on the verge of becoming enemies before they had even become relatives. To protect the company's interests, the Huo parents decided that their younger daughter would impersonate her sister and get engaged to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue had never felt much for his fiancée, but he noticed that the young girl had suddenly changed. Before the engagement, she had been a bright red rose; afterward, she became a silent plum blossom. He grew more and more curious about her change, and the better he got to know Huo Jia Guo, the more helplessly he fell under her spell. Then one day, he realized he had fallen in love with her. By then, Jia Guo had already lost hope and left him.
Huo Jia Guo was frail from birth. Her parents were busy building their business and had no time to care for a sickly child, so she grew up with her grandmother in Yaohua Village. As time passed, she gradually discovered the village's secret: its spirit maidens could commune with spirits. Afraid she would never escape the mountains, Jia Guo ran away from her grandmother. She made it to the big city as she had hoped and lived with her parents, but no matter how hard she tried, she could never win their love. Later, she met her first love, Pei Yin Nian, and finally found the love she had longed for. But that love was short-lived. After Pei Yin Nian died, Jia Guo lost heart. Then she met Lin Yue, her older sister's fiancé. As they spent each day together, Jia Guo fell in love with him, but soon her true identity was exposed, and she could only leave Lin Yue in despair.
