Jian Xiaoxing transmigrates into a novel set in an 1980s factory town, where she becomes a supporting female character. To ease her uncle's burden, she secretly gets engaged to the male supporting character, Shen Ze, hoping to secure a job at a chemical plant.
Shen Ze is the plant's deputy director, devoted to his work. He believes he needs only a marriage in name and doesn't deserve happiness.
The novel's heroine, Li Weihong, returns reborn and discovers that she's merely a fake heiress raised by a powerful family. Knowing Shen Ze will become a man of great distinction, she decides to steal him away and repeatedly plots against Jian Xiaoxing.
At a dance, Li Weihong tries to make Jian Xiaoxing embarrass herself in public, only for several men to compete for the chance to dance with her...
At work, Li Weihong lays a trap to make Jian Xiaoxing fall into it, but ends up being dragged into a little room by Zhang Wei, the man destined to be hers...
After using up every trick in her arsenal, Li Weihong meets a miserable end.
When Jian Xiaoxing's true identity is revealed, everyone is stunned. It turns out she's the real heiress from a prestigious family.
After weathering countless trials, Shen Ze pins Jian Xiaoxing against the door, his tall frame enveloping her from every side.
Jian Xiaoxing covers her chest, her eyes glistening: Director Shen, men and women should keep their distance.
Shen Ze twirls a lock of her hair around his finger, blushing: Honey, how about we make our marriage public...?
