Fu Yancheng mistakenly believes that it was Gu Nian who abandoned him when he was on the brink of death five years ago. Upon their reunion five years later, he goes to great lengths to humiliate her. He hates her for being materialistic and opportunistic, yet he can’t help but be drawn to her. Meanwhile, Gu Nian believes that Fu Yancheng is the one responsible for destroying her family, and their misunderstanding causes them to grow apart emotionally.
As their relationship becomes increasingly twisted, Fu Yancheng becomes more obsessive and paranoid. After learning the truth, he forcefully keeps Gu Nian by his side. Gu Nian, desperate to escape, threatens to take her own life to avoid returning to him. Ultimately, with the help of Yu Cui, she fakes a car accident to leave him for good.
