Lu Yanxi, the cherished disciple of the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is young, talented, handsome, and destined for a brilliant future. Countless people secretly admire him. So when he announces that he is going to marry Ye Jin, many feel sorry for him, believing a widowed woman with three children is not worthy of him.
When faced with relatives who make things difficult for Ye Jin, Lu Yanxi says coldly, "My basic principle when it comes to taking sides is to side with family, not reason. If anyone bullies my wife, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Years later, when they have both reached the pinnacle of their respective fields, everyone finally understands: they have made each other better.

Reborn in the past, Liang Xiaoyu decides that this time she will marry Lu Yanxi. It doesn't matter if he's stiff, as long as he knows how to cherish his wife. She waits for the matchmaker to arrange their blind date.
But she waits and waits, only to hear that he and Ye Jin have gotten engaged.
