    Meng Xian was an orphan, controlled by human traffickers and forced into begging from a young age. After being rescued, she was sent to an orphanage, where she was adopted by Meng Qing, a teacher there. Meng Qing raised her from nothing, teaching her to read, to navigate life, and to live a normal life. She never married, raising her through middle school and university. For the first twenty-five years of her life, she made no wrong moves. From a young age, she was as insignificant as an ant, at the mercy of others, struggling to survive. In her teens, she chose Fu Cen from among everyone she knew; with his help and her own efforts, she climbed from the bottom to the middle class, gaining admission to Florence University and stepping into the elite. But what she wanted was far more than just knowledge and social status; she wanted to continue moving upwards. So she chose Bai Ying. The piano and ballroom dancing she had only begun learning in her teens, along with other upper-class pursuits, were merely stepping stones for her. Through Bai Ying, she built connections and patiently waited for her opportunity. She had won Bai Ying's heart, intending to use her and her network to climb the social ladder and escape her original social class. But then Bai Huo appeared, and a shortcut opened up before her. Blinded by the pleasures of love and an eager desire for gain, she didn't carefully consider her options before getting together with Bai Huo. Though despicable, it allowed her to finally enter the capitalist class. She hadn't expected Bai Huo to fall for her so quickly, so she adjusted her plans accordingly. Bai Huo was more powerful; being with him was entirely beneficial. Their marriage was a mistake from the start. She was wrong, he was wrong, and the marriage itself was a grave mistake. She was wrong to be blinded by status and power; wrong to marry Bai Huo knowing she couldn't give him the love he wanted; wrong to continue climbing the social ladder after marriage, always thinking there was plenty of time and neglecting her mother; wrong to be too greedy, wanting both the marriage's power and money, and also her old love and new flame. Of course, she wouldn't direct all her hatred and blame at Bai Huo; she only wanted a divorce, to escape this suffocating place. The first time she was about to divorce and leave, she was in a car accident and lost her memory. Bai Huo arranged for her to live in Xiaonanlou, whose exterior walls were mostly covered with climbing roses and hydrangeas. It was said that these were planted when the couple were in love, and this Xiaonanlou, covered in roses and costing hundreds of millions, was Bai Huo's wedding home for his wife. As her memory slowly returned, Meng Yin still tried to escape. She used the playboy Cheng Kai to bewitch him and get him to deliver messages. Meanwhile, her first love, Fu Cen, became a professor at a young age, his talent known to all; Fu Cen, who thought he would marry Meng Xian, had his girlfriend stolen by Bai Huo, but he waited for their divorce. After a long period of planning, Meng Xian managed to get Bai Huo to sleep a few more hours, finally escaping the gilded cage of Xiaonanlou. However, Bai Huo still found her abroad and, using Fu Cen as leverage, forced Meng Xian to return to Xiaonanlou. She lost her freedom again. Finally, she threatened suicide, forcing Bai Huo to let her go. Meng Xian chose freedom, and with the help of the Fu brothers, Cheng Kai still thought of her, while Bai Huo had been silently watching over her from behind the scenes, preparing to pursue Meng Xian again.
