Gu Nian, the actual controller and sole heir of the Gu Group, hid her identity for her college sweetheart Shen Chuan, willingly living in an old residential compound for eight years and economizing to put him through his Ph.D. She gave her all, thinking it would trade for a pure love and marriage. However, Shen Chuan's mother, Wang Guifen, looked down on this working girl without family background from the very beginning, talking only about money instead of feelings—a million-yuan dowry, adding her name to the bridal home, and all daily expenses were piled on Gu Nian's shoulders. Shen Chuan remained silent about this, and Shen's relatives treated Gu Nian as an ATM to be wantonly exploited. Remembering their eight-year relationship, Gu Nian repeatedly endured and conceded.
