Stella Morton left home for love, but was deceived by Louis Graham, who concealed his identity.They falsely registered their marriage. In order to "test" whether Stella is worthy of him, Louis, instigated by Vera Brooks, fabricated the illusion of his son's serious illness, causing Stella to run around raising money for medicine for five years. Stella returned home early after saving enough money, only to realize that her marriage certificate and medical records were all lies, and that the five-year fatigue made no sense.
