Ye Qing and Gu Yun had been in a campus romance for many years and were about to get married when Ye Qing's rival, Qiao Niannian, pleaded with Gu Yun's father to stop their union. When Gu Yun's father refused, Qiao Niannian, in a fit of rage, killed him and fled. Five years later, Ye Qing, now Mrs. Gu, learns from a doctor that she is suffering from terminal bone cancer. At the same time, Qiao Niannian returns to the Gu family, vowing to steal Gu Yun from Ye Qing. Qiao Niannian approaches Gu Yun and, using forged photos, frames Ye Qing's father for the death of Gu Yun’s father. As a result, Gu Yun and Ye Qing separate. But Qiao Niannian isn't done with Ye Qing. Upon discovering that Ye Qing is pregnant, she manipulates Gu Yun to keep Ye Qing in the Gu household, humiliating her. Worse yet, Ye Qing's sister, Ye Huan, becomes a vegetable due to Qiao Niannian's schemes. Fortunately, Ye Qing meets a doctor named Huo Yanxi, who secretly helps her, preventing Qiao Niannian from killing her.
