Xue Ying was an orphan from Haicheng. When she first arrived at the Lin residence as a child, snow as thick as goose feathers was falling over Bincheng, and she was still wearing a pair of pink sandals. She got into the Lin family only because she found the Lin family's second young lady, Dao Rou, in Haicheng after kidnappers had broken her leg. Xue Ying knew Dao Rou couldn't keep her in the Lin household forever, so she volunteered to become Dao Rou's maid in order to secure a place for herself.
As Xue Ying grew older, she became more and more beautiful, and increasingly resembled Aunt Wen, the head of the Lin family. But two test reports shattered Aunt Wen's hopes, and she grew to hate the girl who looked so much like her.
On a bright spring day, Xue Ying floated paper boats in a little pond, hoping they would drift to her birth parents. A paper plane floated over from the pond. Little Ci Ying saw Xue Ying crying and reached out with her short arms to hug her. Xue Ying quickly dodged, and little Ci Ying fell into the pond, soaking all the paper boats Xue Ying had folded.
When they met again, one glance was enough to last a lifetime.
The two held hands, and Dao Rou decided to become engaged to Ci Ying.
Love or hate, in the end, even the last flame had gone out.
