Only after her wedding photos were ruined by her fiance and someone else did Nan Zhiyi learn that Lu Yan loved her because he mistakenly believed she had once saved his life.
The real one was the true heiress, Pei Wan.
Pei Wan not only wanted to steal Lu Yan from her, but also wanted to take her bone marrow and her life.
The parents, second brother, and fiance she had loved for twenty years all turned against her, demanding that she atone with her life.
Everyone thought the fake heiress Nan Zhiyi would be utterly ruined after leaving the Pei family. Instead, her extraordinary medical skills stunned everyone, and she kept making them eat their words.
A mysterious power player also safeguarded her career and held up the sky for her.

Everyone said that Pei Xizhou, the capital's princely heir, was disciplined, refined, abstinent, and aloof. Little did they know he had a cherished darling in his heart.
To draw his darling into his arms, he shed his refined facade and laid a vast web of traps, vowing to make the little rabbit bear his mark.
He wanted her to go mad for him, lose herself in him, become infatuated, and surrender to desire.
In public, he was an aloof, indifferent, ruthless flower atop a lofty peak. In private, he knelt on one knee, cradled the girl's hand, and kissed its back. His eyes, held in check until they reddened, trembled as he coaxed her gently.

Later, the true heiress's fake leukemia was exposed. Her parents and brother regretted everything, and her former fiance was consumed by regret, kneeling with red eyes and begging for one look from her.
But a mocking laugh came from the mysterious power player's end of the phone. "She's exhausted from being with me and is sleeping soundly right now. Mr. Lu, don't let this cold war drag on too long, or someone else might get ahead of you."
