Shen Chuan poured seventeen years of heart and soul into raising his daughter Shen Ning to become talented, only to have her publicly destroy her examination papers and sever ties with him on the day the list of successful candidates was released. After losing her father's protection, Shen Ning was swindled of her family fortune by the prodigal Xiao Jiulang and burdened with heavy debts, finally coming to see the love her father hid behind his strictness. Shen Chuan traveled far to Jiangnan, picking up his craft and life anew; Shen Ning also awakened in desperation, personally sending the villains to prison and relying on her own ability to bear her faults. Before setting sail, her father paid off her remaining debts, leaving behind silver and a note: "A-Ning, you really have grown up." A father's love did not burn out, it simply transformed into a long wind, sending her on a distant journey alone.
