Xiao Miaomiao, a woman who had spent a year recovering her health after a difficult medical history, receives a clean bill of health from her doctor and prepares to start a family with her husband, Hong Wenbin. Her plans are shattered when she discovers Hong Wenbin at a hospital, intimately supporting his pregnant mistress, Liu Yueyue, his former university girlfriend. Hong Wenbin had deceived Xiao Miaomiao for years, maintaining a facade of protective abstinence while secretly fathering a child with Liu Yueyue. His true intention was to manipulate Xiao Miaomiao into raising his illegitimate son, thereby securing her family's wealth for his own child.
Xiao Miaomiao immediately hires an investigator and a lawyer, Zheng Yan, and enlists the help of her cousin, Jiang Chen, the CEO of Jiang Group. She records Hong Wenbin confessing his scheme to make her infertile and raise his son. Armed with evidence, she confronts Hong Wenbin at his company. Jiang Chen reveals that Xiao Miaomiao is his cousin, a fact Hong Wenbin deliberately ignored because he considered her unworthy. Faced with the threat of public scandal and legal ruin, Hong Wenbin signs the divorce agreement, surrendering half of his assets to Xiao Miaomiao.
Xiao Miaomiao returns to her natal home, the Xiao family, only to find her father, Xiao Lin, and stepmother, Lin Yushuang, treating her with cold indifference. They had planned to sell her to an older wealthy man, Mr. Mei, before she married Hong Wenbin, and now they want her to use her divorce settlement to secure a business cooperation for the Xiao Group. Xiao Miaomiao exposes their past adultery and the illegitimate birth of her half-siblings, Xiao Yuyan and Xiao Xiangyu. She reveals she has already sold her shares in the Xiao Group to Jiang Chen, transferring control to the family's rival. Enraged, her father attempts to assault her, but she threatens to expose their secrets, forcing him to back down.
Leaving the toxic family home, Xiao Miaomiao faints from exhaustion and is rescued by Ouyang Xuan, the elegant wife of Li Jingcheng. Li Jingcheng is the wealthiest man in the city and the heir to the Li Group, but he has been in a vegetative state for six months after an accident. The Li family, desperate for an heir to continue their lineage, had consulted a monk who predicted a "noble person" would bring them hope. Ouyang Xuan identifies Xiao Miaomiao as this person. She proposes a transactional marriage: Xiao Miaomiao will marry the comatose Li Jingcheng, bear him a child, and in return, she will receive five percent of the Li Group's shares and the services of the family's renowned imperial chef.
Xiao Miaomiao, motivated by a desire for financial security and a child she can rely on, agrees. She marries Li Jingcheng the same day she divorces Hong Wenbin. Consummating the marriage while he remains unconscious, she ensures her position in the Li family. The Li elders, particularly Ouyang Xuan and Grandma Li, welcome her warmly, viewing her as a blessing. Xiao Miaomiao settles into her new life, focused on becoming pregnant and securing her future, completely detached from her past betrayal and her neglectful biological family.
