    The male and female leads grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and naturally, they got together. However, the male lead cheated on her with a woman who hurt the female lead. The female lead was deliberately raised to be unloved by her biological father because her mother abandoned him. The story begins with the female lead losing money, her husband forcing her to divorce him, and her father running away with the money. She's left with nothing, but fortunately, pregnancy allows her to rebuild her life and regain hope. The male lead only comes back to her after his rebirth, but how could the female lead love him again? They've both grown up. Although they remarry, for the female lead, everything is only for her daughter; even her son is less important (to her, he's just a tool). After arranging everything for her daughter, the female lead divorces him. The male lead knows he can't keep her and can only let her go.
