Shen Lanyi's biological daughter, Gu Hantian, was abducted as a young child and remained missing for many years. At last, a message from a rescue center brought news of her whereabouts, and Shen Lanyi finally found the daughter she had been separated from for so long. However, after years of wandering, Gu Hantian had been living under the name Xiaocao, surviving by collecting garbage and begging. Her clothes were dirty and worn, her personality timid, and she could hardly believe that she truly had a home. Filled with guilt, Shen Lanyi brought Xiaocao back to the Gu family, only to face rejection from her husband, Gu Chen, her mother-in-law, and her adopted daughter, Gu Tiantian. Gu Chen was convinced that Xiaocao's background was suspicious. Looking down on her for being poor and uncultured, he demanded that his wife send her away. Gu's mother believed that the girl's presence would bring bad luck to Gu Tiantian. Having spent so many years homeless, Xiaocao had developed an overwhelming sense of insecurity.
