Yun Chu and Huo Yanzhou were childhood sweethearts and have been married for three years. After Huo Yanzhou's first love and white moonlight, Xie Anning, returned to China with her five-year-old son, Huo Yanzhou lied about a business trip to actually accompany their mother and son, even chartering the Bund to celebrate their birthdays. Upon discovering the truth, Yun Chu was in agonizing pain and requested a divorce, but was refused by Huo Yanzhou on the grounds that the Yun family owed him one billion. Yun Chu sold her mother's ancestral jewelry to gather the one billion, gave up the marital home to Xie Anning and her son, and went abroad alone for advanced studies. Huo Yanzhou chased her abroad trying to win her back, but Yun Chu's mind was made up, and she was determined to end this loveless marriage.
