"The Irreverent Version"

The young heiress accidentally drops her destined match into a river. Sitting on the bank and weeping, she is approached by Hermes, who asks what happened.

After the heiress explains, Hermes fishes a cold-blooded, heartless villainess out of the water and asks, "Is this your destined match?"

The heiress says nothing.

Hermes fishes out a scheming fox-faced woman with an innocent look and asks, "Is this your destined match?"

The heiress says nothing again.

Hermes pulls out an aloof beauty, gentle and gorgeous, and asks, "What about her?"

The heiress still says nothing.

Hermes bears it, then bears it some more, before dragging up an arrogant, sharp-tongued female celebrity and asking, "This has to be her, right?!"

The heiress still doesn't utter a word.

Ever diligent, Hermes searches the water high and low, then hauls out a noble, perfect, flirtatious sort and asks, "This one must be..."

The heiress doesn't move.

At last, Hermes loses his temper and dumps all five women on the heiress. "I'm done with this! Here! Take them all! They're all yours!"

"The Serious Version"

One day, the notorious "useless" heiress Fang Jibai runs away from home, falls into the water, and loses her memory.

Her most pressing task is to recover her memories, which means she'll have to navigate the many women in the corporate conglomerate.

As she searches, she realizes that everything around her is bizarre. It seems she's tangled up in complicated relationships with everyone, each one impossible to unravel.

The person who saved her life seems to feel guilty toward her, and keeps inexplicably avoiding her.

Her late sister's girlfriend lectures her all the time, yet their relationship seems to cross a line.

Her nominal fiancee is hiding something about the truth behind her fall into the water and her memory loss.

As she searches, more and more beauties gather around her. One, two, three, four... Fang Jibai is at her wits' end. "Which one of them is my destined match?!"

The word "Quliang" refers to a crossbeam capable of bearing a heavy load, and to a person who is unyielding and steadfast.

On her journey to discover herself and uncover the truth, Fang Jibai gradually comes to understand that fate is made up of countless choices.

She must choose tomorrow, and choose to become that Quliang.

The surging tides of love and desire, the pain of affection, a will that soars to the heavens: she will become someone worthy of deciding her own fate.

This story teaches us:

Toy with people's feelings while wearing an innocent face, and you'll get kicked to the curb.

Get overconfident after an arranged marriage, and someone will steal your home.

Be too cold and heartless, and people will hate you.

Fight and snatch, and you can have it all.
