On the day Lin Qian goes to register her marriage to her boyfriend of seven years, she discovers he is still in the mandatory divorce cooling-off period.
And the person he's divorcing is none other than the junior schoolmate who has been clinging to him for three years.
Lin Qian chooses to break up.

After nightfall, Lin Qian is drugged.
Half-conscious, she begs a stranger for help.
The man's long-fingered hand grips her slender waist as he murmurs in her ear, “Big sister, long time no see.”
Lin Qian thinks their night of passion is just a coincidence.
Only later does she learn it was all part of the wolf cub's long-laid plan.

Until one day, people see Fu Zhou Bai's treasured Buddhist prayer beads
wrapped around the ankle of a woman no one recognizes.
Standing beside her are fraternal twins who look remarkably like Fu Zhou Bai.
