After graduating from university, Ling Ziyi was sold to the Xie family by her mother, Fan Yimei, with a dowry of fifty billion, and married Xie Yixuan. Upon entering the Xie family's Blood Alliance Manor, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xie, treated her harshly, believing that she married for money. Mrs. Xie forced her to kneel and serve tea, then splashed the tea in her face. She even used "family law" to whip her. At first, Xie Yixuan also despised her. On their wedding night, he thought she was just a plaything sent to him, and treated her cruelly.
Throughout their marriage, Ling Ziyi and Xie Yixuan clashed constantly. She was framed by Chen Wanrong and locked in the same room with Wang Hanwen, where she nearly faced danger. At the crucial moment, Xie Yixuan came to her rescue. Afterward, Xie Yixuan's attitude towards Ling Ziyi gradually began to change, and he started to care for her safety.
At the same time, Xie Yixuan's ex-girlfriend, Ye Ling, returned to the country, sparking a series of emotional entanglements. Out of jealousy, Ye Ling deliberately set Ling Ziyi up, causing Xie Yixuan to misunderstand her. Ling Ziyi was heartbroken and decided to ask for a divorce. Though Xie Yixuan seemingly agreed, he began to struggle internally, realizing that his feelings for Ling Ziyi were more than just dislike.
Encouraged by Ke Xin, Ling Ziyi decided to fight for her relationship with Xie Yixuan. Meanwhile, Aunt Zeng, a close confidante of Mrs. Xie, was instructed by a mysterious person to disrupt Ling Ziyi's life and make her leave the Xie family. The story continues to unfold with increasing conflict and tension.
