Zhang Lingyao is the illegitimate son of the Zhang family's leader Dangli and his nanny Shen Yuqiong. He was rejected by his father when he was born and was given the hateful name Zeng. His mother was placed under house arrest in a remote hospital. She only called him Lingyao and hoped that he would live a happy life. Later, at the forced request of his great-grandfather, the household registration book was officially changed to Zhang Lingyao, and he was established as the family heir.
The stepmother Jiang Lanruo has deep ambitions, and the eldest son Zhang Chengjing always holds grudges and plots to frame her. The second son Zhang Yixin is upright in nature and is prohibited from interacting with her by his mother, so he can only secretly accompany Zhang Lingyao.
Song Zhiyu, the second son of the Song family, has been stigmatized since he was ten years old: his brother Song Zhiheng's drowning in the swimming pool was actually a revenge attack by the manservant, who later absconded to the Zhang family to work as a driver. His mother, He Yunguang, was angry with him, so he had to pretend to be a cynical prodigal son, just to be comfortable.
The two met at a business dinner and fell in love secretly, but their families broke up and they were separated for five years. For five years, Zhang Lingyao maintained a marriage in name only, unilaterally adopted his adopted son Zhang Nianzhi, gained a small reputation, and never let go of Song Zhiyu.
The cooperation reunited five years later. Zhang Lingyao was blind and did not recognize Song Zhiyu (English name Sterling) who was already the person in charge of Party B. Song Zhiyu was frustrated by the cold response. Until he saw Zhang Nianzhi in person, he mistakenly thought that the other party had already started a family.
It wasn't until Zhang Lingyao poured out his five years of longing and difficulties after drinking that the two resolved their misunderstanding and got back together. When picking up the child, the principal made a "sound", which reminded Song Zhiyu of his confession and vows. Zhang Ling was embarrassed, but Song Zhiyu was full of doting.
In the end, the maid from back then revealed the truth, and they uncovered the conspiracy of the murderous male servant, stepmother Jiang Lanruo and Zhang Chengjing. Zhang Lingyao realized that inheritance rights were nothing more than personal possessions, so she chose not to take over the Zhang family, and started a business together with Song Zhiyu and Zhang Yixin. The three entered the business world side by side with a new attitude and became the most trusted business partners. Later, they took their grandfather and children to get married abroad, each started a group, and stayed together for the rest of their lives.
Purpose: Break away from the shackles of family, stick to true love, and work together to create a new situation in life
