Xie Fanxing, the heiress of Hangzhou’s Yong’an Real Estate, is trapped in an arranged marriage to Liang Yushan of Haisheng Decoration. The engagement is a business alliance established by their grandfathers. Liang Yushan is unfaithful, openly carrying on an affair with Xie Fanxing’s university roommate Zhou Feier. After catching them in bed at her own apartment, Xie Fanxing calmly records the evidence and decides to break the engagement.
Three days after returning to China from a short trip to Thailand, she meets with Liang Yushan’s mother Huo Jintang, presenting proof of the infidelity. Huo Jintang agrees to dissolve the engagement after Old Master Liang’s seventieth birthday banquet to avoid public scandal. At the banquet, Xie Fanxing arrives in a red qipao, enduring gossip from wealthy wives. Liang Yushan appears with Zhou Feier, who has staged a fake hit-and-run accident to frame Xie Fanxing. Liang Yushan accuses Xie Fanxing of orchestrating the attack and demands to break the engagement to marry Zhou Feier. Old Master Liang is furious, beating Liang Yushan with his cane. Huo Jintang and Liang Yuxin defend Xie Fanxing, exposing the manipulation. The banquet descends into chaos.
In the midst of the turmoil, the arrival of Huo Qingzhou is announced. Unbeknownst to Xie Fanxing, he is the man she spent a passionate night with in Thailand, mistaking him for a male escort. Huo Qingzhou is the true prince of the Huo family, head of HX Group and vice president of Huo’s Tingheng Company. He is a former military captain who retired early, a reclusive billionaire. He has been searching for the woman who left him, and now he steps into her life with full force.
The story centers on Xie Fanxing’s empowerment. Suffering from childhood psychological trauma, she is slow to trust but fiercely independent. She refuses to be a victim of the arranged marriage. She survives the broken engagement, uses her own investments and savings to rebuild her life, and retaliates against every injustice. Liang Yushan and Zhou Feier face consequences for their scheming. Xie Fanxing’s resilience attracts Huo Qingzhou, who pursues her relentlessly. Despite the age gap of six years and the difference in their status, their bond deepens. Huo Qingzhou supports her unconditionally, protecting her from salvage attempts by the Liang family and her own father, who wants to use her for business gain.
As the engagement dissolves, Xie Fanxing stands firm. She does not beg or yield. Huo Qingzhou, once a charming but hot-tempered lover in Thailand, now reveals his true identity. He pursues Xie Fanxing with patience and devotion, determined to be her only man. The story is a double-clean pure love with an older male lead, where the female lead retaliates on the spot and the male lead is entirely love-obsessed. They become each other’s first and last love, navigating the treacherous waters of family betrayal and corporate rivalry. In the end, Xie Fanxing chooses her own path and finds true love with Huo Qingzhou, the man who fell for her at first sight and waits for no one else.
