Ji Qiu overhears her arranged fiancé Zhou Mingxuan and his mother plotting to marry her solely to seize the huge inheritance left by her late mother and save their debt-ridden Zhou Group. Her biased father and stepmother favor her elder sister Ji Yurou, who detests her own rural arranged fiancé Jiang Ze. They scheme to swap the sisters’ marriages, forcing Ji Qiu to wed the country boy instead. Ji Qiu pretends resistance but secretly agrees, desperate to escape her cold, unloving family.
Dressed in wedding robes, Ji Qiu is sent to Binhai Village. There she meets Zhao Fangfang, Jiang Ze’s childhood sweetheart, who reveals Ji Yurou’s wedding date with Jiang Ze was supposed to be early next year. Her family rushed Ji Qiu’s marriage to keep her out of Ji Yurou’s way, crushing Ji Qiu’s last hope for her household. Fueled by jealousy, Zhao Fangfang lures Ji Qiu to a remote, dangerous rocky shore and abandons her amid a storm.
Jiang Ze leads a search party after learning Ji Qiu is missing. As they spot a figure floating in the sea, a drenched, injured Ji Qiu stumbles over. Jiang Ze rescues her and recognizes her as the girl who gave him 100,000 yuan for medical bills five years ago, though Ji Qiu has no memory of him. Later, Ji Yurou is devastated to discover the rural man she rejected is actually the billionaire hidden tycoon behind Binhai Village. Ji Qiu and Jiang Ze fall in love, launch a business together, and develop numerous scenic resorts like Binhai Village.
