On the scheduled wedding day, Wen Xu, who had foolishly waited for eight years, was once again stood up by her fiancé Jing Ling. Heartbroken, she accepted the marriage proposal on the spot from Xu Jixia, her older brother's business partner who had been secretly in love with her for years, and they rushed to register their marriage. After finishing his business, Jing Ling hurried back only to be met with the news that Wen Xu was already married. Confronted at the Wen family's old residence, Jing Ling broke down in remorse, but it was no match for Wen Xu's detachment and Xu Jixia's protection. The eight-year debt was settled, and Jing Ling was completely out of the picture. Living together after marriage, Wen Xu came to realize Xu Jixia's decade-long hidden deep affection, and this warmth smoothed away her pain, opening up a healing romance of marrying first and falling in love later.
