Her husband and mother-in-law scheme to have her bear a child by sending her to another man. Kept in the dark, she gives birth to a boy ten months later. Her husband, however, has a second family and one lover after another, showing no interest in the son she bore and treating her with cold indifference. Four years later, she becomes entangled with the most envied man in the city. She keeps trying to run, but he closes in at every turn, leaving her nowhere to escape. Her son calls him Uncle, but he says, “Little guy, shouldn't you be calling me Dad?” She grits her teeth. “Yu Xiyao, stop talking nonsense.” He leans closer with a wicked smile. “Darling, don't you think your son's eyes and nose look a lot like mine?”
