After Meng Nanxi is released from prison, she recalls the wrongful conviction from three years prior: Avery Sadler accidentally killed her stepfather, and her husband Pei Yufeng perjured himself to frame Meng Nanxi for the crime to protect the mentally traumatized Avery Sadler. He also exposed Meng Nanxi's past of being assaulted, leading to her being sentenced to 15 years in prison. After her release, Meng Nanxi faces public mockery and collapses from vomiting blood, but Pei Yufeng accuses her of faking illness and refuses to pay for her surgery. Later, when Meng Nanxi installs cameras in the Pei residence to gather evidence, Pei Yufeng misunderstands her, assaults her, and spreads online rumors about her. When Avery Sadler provokes Meng Nanxi's grandmother, Pei Yufeng even stops emergency treatment, leading to the grandmother's death. Eventually, Pei Yufeng forces Meng Nanxi to sign a Divorce Agreement, claiming it is what Avery Sadler wants. Meng Nanxi signs the agreement, tears up their wedding photos, leaves with her grandmother's ashes, cancels her original identity, and prepares to take revenge on the pair.
