After Guan Shu was gloriously laid off, she slunk back to her hometown with four-year-old Guan Qiaoyi in tow.
Her hometown, Boju Island, was an island in the southeast.
Its facilities were outdated, but its people were simple and honest.
Guan Shu had an elderly grandmother to care for and a young dependent at home crying to be fed.
Just as she was worrying about how to make ends meet, her rich ex-boyfriend appeared.
The good news: her ex-boyfriend had amnesia.
The bad news: he still remembered her despite the amnesia, and thought the child was his.
Guan Shu did her best to clear up the misunderstanding.
That was, until the handsome, wealthy man handed her every bank card in his wallet and said solemnly,
"Child support."
Guan Shu suddenly thought that some misunderstandings were actually rather beautiful.
There was no need to clear them up.

After spending some time with Jin Muyan, Guan Shu realized he had changed in certain ways.
For example, the pampered young master who had never lifted a finger in the kitchen now dashed around in the blazing sun to find ingredients for her just because she said she wanted to eat something.
And the proud, arrogant man who once never gave anyone the time of day was now gentle and considerate toward her.
At first, Guan Shu thought the change in his personality was caused by his amnesia.
Then, one afternoon,
while she was lying on a garden chair, enjoying the sunset, Guan Shu received a phone call.
When she answered, a man's voice, strange yet familiar, came from the other end.
"Guan Shu? This is Jin Muyan."
"?"
Guan Shu jolted upright as if rising from her deathbed. She looked back at the "Jin Muyan" still busy preparing dinner in the kitchen and was dumbfounded.

Jin Yanbai first met Guan Shu at the Jin family residence.
It was a rainy, overcast day.
At the time, she was still dating his twin brother.
