Xie Ning, a woman who endured a traumatic childhood marked by abuse from her stepfather and relentless bullying from her stepsister Bai Ying, spent years building a successful career to escape her past. Her life was transformed by Lu Sibo, a philanthropist who sponsored her education and provided her with stability. Xie Ning fell in love with Lu Sibo’s younger brother, Lu Tingyan, a wealthy and powerful heir, and pursued him for a decade. She finally agreed to marry him, believing their union would bring her happiness after years of suffering. However, on their wedding day, Lu Tingyan failed to appear and instead sent a stuttering stand-in to perform the ceremony, publicly humiliating Xie Ning in front of hundreds of guests and paparazzi. The incident revealed that Lu Tingyan did not love her; his motive for the marriage was purely revenge.
Lu Tingyan confronted Xie Ning in the bridal suite, accusing her of causing the death of his older brother, Lu Sibo. He believed that Xie Ning’s decision to study abroad had driven Lu Sibo to search for her, leading to the fatal car accident that killed him. Consumed by grief and hatred, Lu Tingyan declared that the marriage was Xie Ning’s punishment and that he intended to make her life a living hell. Xie Ning vehemently denied any responsibility for Lu Sibo’s death, but Lu Tingyan refused to listen. Despite the betrayal, Xie Ning maintained her composure, smashing cameras to stop the photographers from capturing her humiliation and vowing to sue any media outlet that published stories about the incident. She later discovered that her stepsister Bai Ying had orchestrated the wedding disaster, seeking to destroy Xie Ning’s happiness out of jealousy, as Bai Ying had long harbored unrequited feelings for Lu Tingyan.
On their wedding night, Xie Ning rushed to a nightclub to help her best friend Song Ziyan, who had fallen ill due to an alcohol allergy. Lu Tingyan followed her, misinterpreting her actions and accusing her of seeking other men. He forcibly took her to a hotel room, where their intense confrontation revealed the deep-seated hostility between them. Lu Tingyan’s mother, Jiang Yuan, returned to China upon hearing of the marriage and slapped Lu Tingyan for marrying the woman she blamed for her eldest son’s death. Jiang Yuan demanded that Lu Tingyan ensure Xie Ning’s destruction, but Lu Tingyan insisted on handling the matter himself. He ordered Xie Ning to move into his luxurious residence, Shengshi Jindu, placing her in a guest room to monitor her closely.
Xie Ning moved into the Lu residence, where she faced the cold indifference of her new husband and the open hostility of his family. Bai Ying attempted to warn Lu Tingyan about Xie Ning’s alleged ulterior motives, but Lu Tingyan dismissed her, revealing a complex dynamic that suggested he was not entirely convinced of Xie Ning’s guilt. Meanwhile, Xie Ning discovered that Bai Ying was the source of the leaked photos and news stories damaging her reputation. She retaliated by hacking the source of the leak and sending a lawyer’s letter to Bai Ying. Xie Ning then confronted Bai Ying at her studio, threatening to expose her father’s criminal history if she continued her attacks. The confrontation established that Xie Ning was no longer the submissive victim she had been in childhood, but a formidable opponent willing to fight back. The story sets the stage for a prolonged battle of wits and power between Xie Ning and the Lu family, as she seeks to clear her name and uncover the truth behind Lu Sibo’s death while navigating a marriage built on lies and revenge.
