Song Yuan was taken by Jiang Xingyun to the Jiang family villa to meet Shen Meiyin, chairwoman of Mingda Group and mother of Jiang Zhuoyun. Shen Meiyin offered Song Yuan five million yuan to seduce her son Jiang Zhuoyun, who dreamed of becoming an artist. For her mother’s medical bills and the Song family’s debts, Song Yuan agreed to the deal, yet demanded ten million yuan instead.
After receiving Jiang Zhuoyun’s profile from Shen Meiyin, Song Yuan devised a full set of tailor‑made schemes for chance encounters. She successfully made Jiang Zhuoyun fall in love with her at first sight, and the two quickly plunged into a romantic relationship. Just as their bond grew deep, Shen Meiyin showed up and reminded Song Yuan that it was time to end this game.
Song Yuan thought everything would be over. However, overwhelmed by guilt and unwilling to be a burden, her mother left a suicide note and jumped off a building to her death. Afraid that Song Yuan would get back together with Jiang Zhuoyun, Shen Meiyin resorted to every means to ruin her life. Despite graduating from a top‑tier university, Song Yuan could not land a decent job in Jiangzhou. She ended up working as an artist’s assistant at an entertainment company, running errands and doing menial work.
Meanwhile, Song Yuan kept hiding for two years, living cautiously so that Jiang Zhuoyun would not track her down. Still, he found her. Jiang Zhuoyun forced Song Yuan into marriage in a high‑handed manner. As they spent time together, Song Yuan realized Jiang Zhuoyun’s true feelings for her were different from what he had claimed at first, and their affection for each other kept growing.
One day, Shen Meiyin sought Song Yuan out again. She revealed to Song Yuan that she was behind her father’s death and the fire that burned down the Song family home — and that Jiang Zhuoyun had known the truth all along. Shattered emotionally, Song Yuan did not know what to do.
Back at Qingshan Villa, Song Yuan confronted Jiang Zhuoyun and filed for divorce. Jiang Zhuoyun, for his part, resolved to restore fairness and justice for Song Yuan.
