Gu Ran, a woman hailed as a prodigy and the beauty of Hai City, lives a life of betrayal and despair. For four years, she is manipulated by Han Muze and her cousin Gu Yao, who exploit her trust to drive a wedge between her and Fu Sijue, the man who loves her deeply. Blind to their schemes, Gu Ran sides with the deceitful couple, leading to the destruction of Fu Sijue’s empire and his eventual paralysis. In a cruel twist, Han Muze and Gu Yao reveal their true nature, having severed Gu Ran’s tendons and gouged out her left eye. Poisoned and abandoned in the snow, Gu Ran dies regretting her stupidity and her failure to love Fu Sijue properly. As she breathes her last, she prays to meet him in the next life.
Gu Ran awakens to find herself alive, back in time before the tragedy unfolded. She realizes she has been reborn, returning to the moment just before her fatal mistakes were made. Her body is weak from a recent illness, but her mind is sharp with the memories of her past life. She understands that Han Muze and Gu Yao are the architects of her suffering, and that Fu Sijue, despite being paralyzed and broken by her actions in the previous timeline, had loved her until his death. Overcome with emotion, Gu Ran weeps for the man she wronged, vowing to change her fate and protect him this time.
Fu Sijue, who had resolved to let Gu Ran go after she pushed him to his limits, is stunned by her sudden change in behavior. When she wakes from her fever, she clings to him, kisses him, and refuses to let him leave. Her affection is genuine and desperate, contrasting sharply with the coldness she showed him previously. Fu Sijue, though suspicious and hurt, cannot resist her. He watches over her as she recovers, noting that she seems like a different person entirely. Gu Ran, using her phone to communicate due to her sore throat, expresses her love and regret, promising to stay by his side forever. Fu Sijue, torn between his pride and his lingering feelings, agrees to trust her one more time, warning her that he will not tolerate another betrayal.
As Gu Ran adjusts to her new life, she reconnects with her true allies, including her senior brothers from the Barefoot Doctors sect and her hacker contacts. She learns that her uncle, the Gu family patriarch, is also part of the conspiracy against her. Determined to expose the truth and protect Fu Sijue, Gu Ran begins to investigate the events that led to her father’s death and her own downfall. She reaches out to her second senior brother, asking for specific pills to counteract the poison that was slowly killing her in her previous life. Meanwhile, Fu Sijue continues to manage his empire, dealing with cyberattacks and internal threats, all while keeping a close watch on Gu Ran. Their relationship begins to heal, with Gu Ran actively seeking to make amends for her past mistakes. She moves into Fu Sijue’s quarters, symbolizing her commitment to their future together. As they navigate the complexities of their past and present, Gu Ran and Fu Sijue form a partnership to dismantle the enemies who sought to destroy them both.
