Eighteen-year-old village girl Su Guifang gives herself to her boyfriend, Qiangzi, on the night before he leaves for university, trusting his promises.
For love, Guifang follows him to Jiangcheng, full of hope and ready to find work.
But after they arrive in the city, Qiangzi's selfishness, coldness, and repeated abandonment break her heart. She comes to her senses and decisively cuts ties with him.
Fortunately, Shen Yanqing, a young teacher at the University of Science and Technology, enters Guifang's life like a ray of light.
With his devoted help and gentle guidance, Guifang not only makes a fortune in Guangbutun's electronics boom, but the two also gradually fall in love as they support each other.
