The dizzying sensation of falling from a building has yet to fade when Fang Ting jolts awake at the end of a nightmare. She is back on the day Ding Yixie began harassing her, in 1987, after Fang Jinxin's death, when her family was on the brink of ruin. Reborn after Ding Xiaoxie pushed her off a high-rise in her previous life, Fang Ting vows to protect her family. She deftly steers clear of the four Ding brothers, sends her younger sister Xiaomin abroad to study, and helps her older brother Fang Zhanbo make a name for himself in the stock market. She believes that if she stays away from Ding Xiaoxie, she can rewrite her family's tragic fate.
But fate cannot be severed simply by running away. Ding Xiaoxie notices the fear and pity hidden in her eyes. The more she avoids him, the more he pursues her, and their destinies become entangled once more. Fang Ting struggles between hatred and fate, knowing better than anyone that the man who stands guard over her through the night will one day turn on her without mercy for the sake of the Ding family.
When the guns of vengeance are aimed at everyone, and the love between Xiaoxie and Fang Ting is torn between blood feuds and tender moments, Fang Ting stands at a crossroads. Can she escape the trap of fate, protect her family, and hold on to her heart? The tides of a turbulent era will sweep everything toward the altar, and that fall from her previous life seems never to have truly ended...
