When he learns that Shen Tinglan's beloved first love is returning from abroad, he prepares divorce papers and plans to flee, only to be trapped in the city by bad weather. During his escape, he unexpectedly discovers that his father's car accident years ago was no accident and may have been connected to the Shen family. Abandoning his plan to leave, he secretly gathers evidence and uncovers that Shen Wendu, Shen Tinglan's father, orchestrated a murder to seize land. Gu Beici reports the crime, exposing the truth. Shen Wendu tries to buy his silence with money and reveals that Shen Tinglan married Gu Beici out of guilt and a desire to make amends.
