Xiao Zhan was never meant to be part of the Wang family's world. The son of the family's loyal servants-Mr. Wang's driver and his wife, the cook-his life was one of quiet simplicity. His parents' love story began when his mother came to work at the mansion, and it flourished in the service of the wealthy household.
But their story, and his, was shattered in a single, devastating car accident. The only miracle was the unborn child his mother carried, who survived against all odds.
Taking pity on the orphaned infant, Mr. Wang brought Xiao Zhan into his own home, raising him as a second son. However, not everyone shared his compassion. Mrs. Wang, Susan, sees the boy as a constant, bitter reminder of her husband's loyalty to his servants, a rival to her own Son for his affection and attention.
Years later, the Wangs' mischievous and spoiled son returns home after a life of leisure abroad. He expects to find everything as he left it. Instead, he discovers a stunningly beautiful "servant" living under his roof-a young man his own father insists he must now call "brother."
But Cai Xukun doesn't want a brother. He sees a threat. An interloper who has stolen his father's love and a piece of his rightful place in the world. Obsession and hatred become a dangerous cocktail as he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the very person he's determined to destroy.
