Jiang Manyao and her fiance, Lin Hechen, have never met.
When the Jiang family falls into crisis, her parents ask her to seek Lin Hechen's help.
Lin Hechen is cold and indifferent toward her, and even wants to break off the engagement. Jiang Manyao makes some inquiries and learns that he has a first love he still can't forget.
Jiang Manyao figures the engagement is doomed.
She finds a photo of Lin Hechen's first love, only to realize the woman looks familiar.
She enlarges the photo and discovers that the girl in it looks just like her a few years ago.
So Lin Hechen's first love... is her?
Lin Hechen not only refuses to honor the engagement, but also introduces Jiang Manyao to his uncle.
Jiang Manyao is quite taken with Lin family's mature and charming younger uncle. Either way, they're both Lin men. What's the difference?
One day, she comes out of a hotel with Lin Hechen's uncle and runs into Lin Hechen.
Lin Hechen glares at them with bloodshot eyes, looking like he's gone mad.
After that day, word gets around that a full-on action scene played out in the Lin household.
Then she sees a man with blood at the corner of his mouth, bruises on his face, hair like a bird's nest, and a crooked tie.
Now that's what you call an action scene.
She hears that Lin Hechen was disrespectful to his uncle and got a thorough beating from his family.

Later, Mr. Lin and Ms. Jiang attend an important event together. The media ask Mr. Lin how he managed to win Ms. Jiang over.
Mr. Lin grins shamelessly. "I wore her down and had no shame about it. Most importantly, remember this: acting aloof is useless for a man. You'll never win your wife that way."
(The heroine takes things as they come. The hero doesn't care at first, but later pursues his wife frantically and gets jealous, with absolutely no shame.)
Theme: Acting aloof is useless. Sincere hearts deserve sincere love.
