Shen Xiyue and her mother Xu Chuntang depended on each other for survival. Gifted and intelligent, she was admitted to the world's top university and could have had a bright future. But on that day, Xu Chuntang—who worked as a nanny at the Bai family—accidentally dirtied the shoes of the Bai family's daughter, Bai Jiaojiao. She was brutally tortured to death, her bones crushed. Bai Jiaojiao's fiancé, Yan Mingchen, was a powerful tycoon who held immense sway in Hong Kong's elite circles. With the Yan family's backing, Bai Jiaojiao was willful, arrogant, and unrestrained, treating human life like dirt. To avenge her mother, Shen Xiyue disguised herself as the daughter of the Huo family and seduced Yan Mingchen—the man Bai Jiaojiao loved most. She used Yan Mingchen to start retaliating against the Bai family. Yet amid the entanglement with Yan Mingchen, Shen Xiyue gradually lost her heart to him.
