    The female lead, Xu Yan, was once the pampered heiress of the Xu family, and childhood sweethearts with the male lead, Xiang Yilin. However, Xiang Yilin, seeking revenge for his parents' deaths, manipulated her feelings to ruin the Xu family and conspired with the real heiress to discredit her. Suffering from a miscarriage and a leg injury, Xu Yan divorced him and left, returning eight years later as an orthopedic surgeon. Xiang Yilin, on the other hand, had become a business tycoon, with a seven-year-old son, Xiang Siyue, by his side. Upon their reunion, Xiang Yilin only referred to her as an "old friend," but his heart was in turmoil. It turned out the boy was the child he had secretly saved years ago, and the wedding ring on his hand was a token of their love retrieved from the seabed. In those eight years, he had never truly let go of Xu Yan. Afterwards, this obsessive CEO became completely obsessed with pursuing his wife, having to conceal the child's true identity, fight off the troublesome real heiress, and deal with Xu Yan's suitors. The plot intertwines business intrigue with familial bonds, culminating in the iconic scene where Xiang Yilin kneels in public to repent, perfectly embodying the meaning of "regret." The female lead remains clear-headed and not swayed by love throughout, consistently upholding her principles despite the male lead's persistent advances. This dynamic of the male lead's deep regret and the female lead's cold indifference is incredibly satisfying to watch!
