Gynecologist Zhou Licheng unexpectedly performs surgery on his wife, Xu Manning, after she suffers severe bleeding. During the operation, he discovers that she has been having an affair with her dance student, Shao Wenjie, and that the child she is carrying is not his. At a birthday banquet, Zhou publicly exposes the truth. Later, Xu secretly transfers all the family's savings and sells their property, squandering the money on Shao Wenjie. Shao joins forces with a fraud syndicate to trick Xu into mortgaging her dance studio, leaving her with neither money nor property. Her father also dies because she cannot afford his medical treatment. Eventually, the fraud ring is arrested. Xu loses her child and her ability to have children, while Zhou finally lets go of the past and moves on to a new relationship.
