When Yun Qian was forced to jump off a cliff, Xiao Tingye arrived in time to witness it.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tingye had become a successful, wealthy CEO in Yun City. He visited the Shen family to ask for Shen Jieying's hand in marriage, also to avenge Yun Qian. Yun Qian mistakenly thought Xiao Tingye had fallen in love with Shen Jieying and forgotten her, feeling heartbroken. However, she started to experience the kindness of Shen Jieying's two brothers (who treated her like a beloved pet). Yun Qian knew they were treating her well only because they thought she was Shen Jieying, but due to her difficult upbringing, she found herself somewhat addicted to this kindness.
