Lin Tingsong, originally named Chen Shi'an, was nearly assaulted by Chen Jiuzhou at the age of sixteen in Bingcheng, but was instead falsely accused. Her entire family sought refuge with the Meng family in the capital, where Old Master Meng helped her change her name. She secretly loved Meng Jingyan and left him a letter in his study. Later, she enrolled in the archaeology department at Peking University. When she stepped in to save the day at the university anniversary celebration, she reunited with Meng Jingyan, and the two fell in love. Meng Anqing pushed for a marriage alliance between the Meng and Shen families, while Shen Xingche repeatedly humiliated her. Because of the gap in their family backgrounds, she proposed breaking up. Meng Jingyan uncovered the truth about the old letter, won her back, and rejected the arranged marriage. Shen Xingche publicly exposed her past, but she admitted that she had been a victim and that none of it was her fault. Meng Jingyan stood up for her in front of everyone. The Shen family marriage arrangement was called off, Xu Zechuan repaid the money and apologized, and Shen Xingche apologized at her grave. Lin Tingsong finally let go of her hatred, transferred to cultural relic restoration, and set off toward the future with Meng Jingyan.
