Pei Yuan returns to life carrying thirty years of regret. In his previous life, he waited humbly and devotedly, only to end up in a marriage that existed in name only. In this life, he comes to his senses and decisively ends a relationship that was never right for him. Facing rumors, criticism, and attempts by elders to mediate, he refuses to grovel or seek approval any longer and turns instead toward the Xihe Textile Factory. By putting things in order, resolving unpaid wages, and modernizing production, he steadily rises through hard work to become the factory director. Only after losing Cheng Shuang, the factory beauty, does she finally realize her mistake. She struggles to catch up with him and win him back, but his love has long since run dry. There will be no rekindling of their broken relationship. They both let go of the past and pursue their own careers and lives.
