Single mother Liu Ruyan misses her long-prepared regular position defense in order to save Gu Shuyi, who is having a sudden illness, and is falsely accused of bumping into someone by Xu Jiaojiao and the receptionist. With her mother's surgery fees looming, she uses a jade bracelet as collateral and writes an IOU, refusing to trade marriage for a bride price. At her blind date in the evening, she mistakenly sits at the table of Gu Group CEO Gu Chenzhou, laying out her difficulties regarding her child, work, and family. Gu Chenzhou acknowledges her composure and proposes on the spot. Surveillance and work records restore the truth, and Liu Ruyan must prove in emotion, workplace, and commitment that what she chooses is shared responsibility rather than dependency.
