Song Ci, a college student from a modest background, dies after drowning while rescuing a child from a wishing pond. She awakens in a hospital bed in the body of Jiang Wanting, the pampered only daughter of the wealthy Jiang family. Jiang Wanting has suffered selective amnesia following a similar drowning incident. Song Ci quickly adapts to her new identity, discovering she is now a millionaire with a seven-digit bank balance and access to a luxurious lifestyle. The Jiang family, particularly her mother Lin Xinya and grandfather, treat her with immense care, a stark contrast to the neglect she experienced in her previous life with her remarried father.
Jiang Wanting’s original life was marked by a scandalous relationship with Lin Zhongye, an illegitimate son of the Lin family who sought her wealth. Jiang Wanting decisively cuts ties with him, kicking him when he attempts to restrain her, and informs her circle of friends that she is changing her ways due to her memory loss. Meanwhile, the Jiang family has arranged a childhood engagement between Jiang Wanting and Shen Zui, the fourth young master of the powerful Shen conglomerate. Shen Zui is a top-tier celebrity who recently caused a media storm by publicly announcing his fiancée, resulting in the loss of over a million followers and the termination of several brand endorsements.
The two families arrange a formal meeting where Jiang Wanting and Shen Zui meet for the first time. Jiang Wanting, secretly a devoted fan of Shen Zui, is starstruck by his appearance but maintains her composure. The Shen family, led by the matriarch Grandmother Shen, is pleased with Jiang Wanting’s polite and elegant demeanor, which contrasts with rumors of her previous spoiled personality. The families decide that Jiang Wanting should move into a villa across from Shen Zui’s residence to build their relationship before marriage.
Jiang Wanting moves into the Shen family villa, where she lives with Shen Zui and the household staff, including the observant Nanny Rong. Their cohabitation is initially distant, as Shen Zui is busy with his career and often absent. However, a thunderstorm prompts Jiang Wanting to seek comfort in Shen Zui’s room, leading to an intimate moment where they accidentally kiss. Jiang Wanting, emboldened by her feelings, attempts to escalate the interaction but retreats in embarrassment when Shen Zui responds with playful dominance. Shen Zui finds her reactions amusing and begins to view her as more than just an arranged match.
As Shen Zui prepares to film a new anti-drug police drama titled "Carrying Forward with a Heavy Load" alongside top actress Zhao Xizi, Jiang Wanting supports him from afar, purchasing大量 merchandise and following his career updates. The story highlights the gradual thawing of the relationship between the two, as Jiang Wanting navigates her new identity as a wealthy heiress and a celebrity’s fiancée while dealing with the lingering threats of her ex-boyfriend and his accomplice, Liu Yiwen. The narrative sets the stage for a romance built on mutual discovery, with Jiang Wanting embracing her new life and Shen Zui slowly opening up to her.
