Years ago, Rong Zhihan was rescued by Yun Rongyue during a grave injury, sparking love at first sight. He seizes the chance to marry her, but she has no memory of their fateful meeting—only fear and reluctant submission toward him. Spoiled from birth as the golden child, Rong Zhihan fumbles at showing affection, leaving their marriage a tangle of awkward silences. His mother scorns Yun Rongyue and schemes to wed the Song family's prized daughter into the Rong fold: she tricks Yun Rongyue into slipping Rong Zhihan an aphrodisiac, then shoves Song Qingyi into his bed. The plot crumbles when Rong Zhihan catches on. Undeterred, his mother and Song Qingyi hatch a darker ploy—handing Yun Rongyue over to a lecherous tycoon for ruin. Rong Zhihan bursts in just in time, but the ordeal costs Yun Rongyue her unborn child.
