He cured Bai's father's terminal illness and forced the cold-blooded female CEO Bai Mingyu to fulfill her contract as a "half-moon maid". In daily quarrels, Qin Ming took action many times to defeat her enemies such as Young Master Gu, the Black Dragon Society, wealthy businessmen in the provincial capital, and even the underground boss Gui Ye. As Pluto's identity is revealed, the two gradually develop a love for each other during their adversity. In the end, Qin Ming not only cured Bai Mingyu's chronic illness, but also saved his family business with the Ming-Qin Group, and the lovers finally got married.
