In an unexpected violent incident, An Xia, a girl born in 1985 who was trapped in a forced marriage, was labeled as a "mistress" and suffered a double disaster in career and love - facing career difficulties, she is hopelessly in love with an uncle born in 170s. Love comes like a tide, and An Xia actively pursues it with all his strength, but his uncle Gu Zekai avoids and remains indifferent. An Xia became more and more courageous with every setback. She thought that she had the greatest weapon to conquer Gu Zekai - youth and beauty. However, she did not expect that this would become the biggest hidden danger in her pursuit of love.
It's not that Gu Zekai doesn't love, he just doesn't dare to love. He has experienced the trauma of love and the vicissitudes of career. For him, love is not a necessity of life, but a difficult game to challenge life in his spare time. The better she is, the more afraid he is. The more she shows love, the more he evades, the more she shows her longing for the future life, but the more he is disappointed and panicked about the future, afraid that he will not be able to afford the happiness she hopes for.
When the battle of love becomes a person's lone battle, does such a relationship have a future? Faced with the cruel reality, should we choose the "matching" marriage that everyone is optimistic about, or should we be alone on the road of "love first"?
Sometimes love that is not optimistic will bloom into beautiful flowers.
