Shen Junguang has secretly loved a man for years.
When he's developing new medicine, she spends a fortune tracking down rare medicinal ingredients for him.
When he's seriously ill, she works on herbal remedies for him despite being sick herself.
She thinks their love is mutual, so she gathers the courage to confess her feelings. He turns her down without hesitation.
After her confession is rejected, her family forcefully arranges a betrothal, compelling her to marry a complete stranger.
Shen Junguang fights at every turn to break off the engagement, not hesitating to offend the powerful and influential.
At home, she refuses to back down, repeatedly defying her elders and even getting confined to the house.
After one failed attempt after another, she gradually runs out of strength. She waits quietly for the wedding, determined to say goodbye to the man for good.
Until, on the night before the wedding, Shen Junguang sees the man climbing over the wall into her room.
Xie Muchao has kept a low profile and stayed in his place for years. He never imagined that a highborn young lady like Shen Junguang could be so shamelessly persistent.
After he rejects her confession, she only doubles down on her advances.
Later, when he hears she's engaged, he gradually realizes his feelings have changed, but it's already too late.
Then his true identity is revealed, and hatred comes between them. She has no choice but to honor her engagement.
The usually restrained and level-headed man ignores all propriety, climbs over the wall on the night before the wedding, and demands, "Go ahead and marry someone else. I dare you."
