After accepting a commission, Shen Mei personally went into battle, married into the Gu family, and searched for evidence of her father's crime for Gu Jiu, the sole heir of the Gu family. However, on the first day she entered the Gu family, she was personally threatened by her employer. Shen Mei, who did not want to reveal her identity, concealed her purpose of entering the Gu family while dealing with Gu Jiu's father Gu Chixi while avoiding Gu Jiu's observation.
Unexpectedly, the more she investigated, the more familiar the information she dug out became. The familiar unfolding inadvertently touched her painful memories of the past, and Gu Jiu's pressing steps finally made it more and more difficult for her to resist.
Finally, after a careless mistake, she was caught by Gu Jiu and her identity was exposed. At Gu Jiu's request, she agreed to help the other party investigate the cause of death of the other party's mother. Originally, the relationship between the two should have stopped here, but the overly similar pasts still led them to be attracted to each other step by step, and they finally connected.
