Having endured humiliation, Lin Chen called off the engagement in public. With the help of his old classmate Su Wan, he exposed the Zhou family's rumors. The Zhou family emptied the bride price to pay off high-interest loans for their younger brother. One year later, Lin Chen broke free from the shackles of the bride price, running towards each other with Su Wan and reaping happiness.
