After dating for ten years, Fang Qing gave up her design job and worked day and night to care for her boyfriend Liang Lei's ailing parents. Exhausted physically and mentally, she wanted to pay out of pocket for a caregiver, but Liang Lei refused. During an argument, Liang Lei bluntly stated that without a marriage license they weren't a married couple. Fang Qing had a sudden awakening and decisively packed her luggage and left. Returning to the workplace, Fang Qing fought hard to reclaim her career, only to be slandered and smeared by Liang's sister. She produced evidence, clarified the advanced payments through mediation, and restored the truth of the past with a recording. Facing Liang Lei's remorse and plea to reconcile, Fang Qing resolutely refused, partnered with a friend to establish a studio, and started a life of her own.
