After a project honed through ten years of painstaking effort wins an award, Xu Nanqiao's hard-earned credit as first author is handed by He Jingxing to Lin Shuyue, his beloved first love who has just returned from abroad, right there on the awards stage. For this project, Xu revised nearly a hundred versions of the proposal and even missed her chance to accompany her father through his final moments. Their long-standing promise to marry once the project won an award has also become an empty promise. He Jingxing casually brushes everything aside, claiming he is simply being considerate of his beloved first love. With her heart finally broken, Xu Nanqiao announces in front of everyone that she is leaving the project team, ignoring their attempts to persuade her and his subsequent pleas and offers of compensation. Leaving the entanglements of the past behind, she takes her considerable talents overseas for a new position, cuts off ten years of love and obsession, and begins rewriting her own story of glory in a new world.
