Lin Zhixia, an immortal who has lived for six centuries, once saved a member of the Cheng family and helped the family rise to prominence. In gratitude, the Cheng family established an ancestral rule requiring every generation to provide for her. However, Cheng Yanqiu, the twelfth-generation heir, and his fiancée, Song Qingwan, regard Lin Zhixia as a parasite, force her to sign a humiliating agreement, and drive her out of the family home. At a shareholders' meeting, Lin Zhixia reveals that the land beneath the Cheng Group's skyscraper is subject to a century-old property right she holds, cutting off the foundation of the Cheng family's business. She then withdraws her support and causes Cheng Yanqiu's empire to collapse overnight. The Song and Wang families also suffer setbacks after looking down on her. Ultimately, the Cheng family's business crumbles, and Cheng Yanqiu is consumed by regret. With the Gu family protecting her, Lin Zhixia puts old grievances behind her and chooses a new path in life.
