Late at night, a torrential downpour blocked the road for Zai Chenfeng's car.
His assistant knocked on the door of a quaint little courtyard in the mountains.
A young woman came out. Dressed in mourning clothes, her face bare of makeup, she was gentle and reserved, and spoke little. Holding an antique lantern, she lit the way for the group, calming their restless hearts in the midst of the downpour.
Only later did Zai Chenfeng learn that her father had died that night.
He once asked her how she had stayed so calm.
Nian Weiyu filled a cup with tea and smiled slowly. "The Nian family is weathering a storm. Rather than sink into grief, I'd rather wipe away my tears and fight to survive."
Zai Chenfeng had everything a man could want: success, power, and a view from above of what others could never possess. He looked down on love and loss alike.
He never imagined that one day he would kneel before Buddha for Nian Weiyu, willing to give his life for her.

Nian Weiyu is the kind of woman you fall in love with at first sight.
She's beautiful, intelligent, quiet, like a gentle spring rain.
But don't make her angry, or she'll raise a pretty finger adorned with a jade bangle and give you a sharp slap, all while remaining perfectly composed.
Plenty of spoiled rich kids have experienced it firsthand.
They love the way she looks at them like trash. They love her elegance and captivating vitality.
Then one day, the mysterious head of the Zai family joins the chase.
His methods are underhanded, yet somehow perfectly reasonable.
He saves Nian Weiyu's little nephew.
Then naturally persuades Nian Weiyu to repay him by marrying him.
