"Zhou Qin secretly used his influence to help his girlfriend Yang Man achieve the title of Best Actress, only for her to publicly announce during her acceptance speech that her boyfriend was someone else and then send her agent to humiliate Zhou Qin with an offer of money. When Zhou Qin confronted her at the celebration party, both Yang Man and her new boyfriend mocked him. The new boyfriend even boasted that he had secured a role for Yang Man with a famous director—unaware that Zhou Qin had actually arranged it. The director’s arrival exposed their lies and publicly shamed them.

Still convinced Zhou Qin was merely acting, Yang Man continued to scorn him. Her new boyfriend, relying on his father’s status, tried to have Zhou Qin removed—only for his father to reveal Zhou Qin’s true powerful identity, humiliating them once again. At the same event, Zhou Qin unexpectedly met An Xian, to whom he was engaged by a family arrangement. She asked him to marry her and help her secure the inheritance of the An family. Remembering the gratitude his family owed her grandfather, Zhou Qin agreed. Determined to secure her status, Yang Man held a press conference to smear Zhou Qin’s reputation. In response, he exposed her past scandals online, ruining her career and public image. Refusing to accept defeat, she mistakenly believed Zhou Qin had been disowned by his family and tried to harass him again while he was selecting a wedding venue—only to be publicly humiliated once more. Even An Xian initially suspected Zhou Qin had fallen from grace, but after careful consideration, she chose to marry him regardless. After the wedding, her cousin Anna repeatedly provoked conflicts over the family inheritance. Zhou Qin helped An Xian overcome these challenges, and through their shared struggles, the two gradually developed genuine feelings for each other."
