The Xia family, with a girl in a wedding dress, is being rudely pushed to the ground by another girl. The one in the wedding dress is Miss Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu), the second young lady of the Xia family. The one pushing her is her sister, Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi has a prior engagement with the second young master of the Leng family, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo). However, Leng Zhixing had a car accident six years ago that left him disabled, and he has been in a wheelchair ever since. It is said that he can no longer function as a man. Therefore, Xia Jingxi does not want to marry him and face a lonely life. Xia Miaomiao is an adopted daughter of the Xia family, and the family plans to marry her off to preserve their business. Otherwise, the Xia family's business will have to close down.

Xia Miaomiao's wedding is quite desolate, with no one to send her off. When she reaches Leng Zhixing's room, it's empty. Hearing a sound from the bathroom, Xia Miaomiao goes in to check and accidentally slips, falling into the arms of Leng Zhixing, who is taking a bath.

Leng Zhixing is indifferent to the woman forced upon him by his grandfather, considering her a gold-digger after the Leng family's assets. Consequently, he keeps Xia Miaomiao at a distance, not even allowing her on his bed. Leng Jiaxuan, Leng Zhixing's third brother, has always been in conflict with him. Leng Zhixing knows that Leng Jiaxuan is somehow connected to the car accident six years ago. Grandfather insists that Leng Zhixing firmly secure the position of the president of the Leng Corporation. This infuriates Leng Jiaxuan, who marries Xia Jingxi, who has been with him since the age of eighteen. Leng Jiaxuan claims that she is entirely his, from head to toe. Leng Zhixing is disgusted by this, especially when it comes to Xia Miaomiao.

Leng Jiaxuan transferred his anger to Leng Zhixing for marrying his woman. Consequently, he angrily overturned Leng Zhixing's wheelchair, leaving him in a helpless state on the ground. Upon returning to his room, he found Xia Miaomiao reading. Leng Zhixing unleashed a barrage of accusations at Xia Miaomiao, criticizing her for having a rich emotional life and attracting men at the age of eighteen. Despite Xia Miaomiao's distress, Leng Zhixing did not allow her to explain and promptly expelled her from the room.

As Xia Miaomiao walked away, tears streaming down her face, she couldn't comprehend why Leng Zhixing had spoken to her in such a manner. After crying for a while, she realized that Leng Zhixing was not a normal person, and there was no point in arguing with him. As the sky darkened, the street suddenly filled with noisy footsteps. Xia Miaomiao was unexpectedly pulled into a corner by a masked man, causing her fear. The man tightly covered her mouth until the pursuers passed by. Afterward, he revealed himself as Leng Zhixing, handed her a business card, and instructed her to contact him if she ever got hurt.

After the man left, Xia Miaomiao thought he resembled Leng Zhixing, but his agility contradicted Leng Zhixing's condition. Indeed, the masked man was Leng Zhixing. He had gone out to investigate Leng Jiaxuan, and upon returning to his office, he ordered his subordinates to bring back his wife. However, they informed him that his wife was at a bar having a date with Leng Jiaxuan. Infuriated, Leng Zhixing, upon seeing the photos taken by his subordinates, laughed instead of getting angry. He then commanded them to promptly investigate who exactly he had married. In the end, Leng Zhixing learned that he had married Xia Miaomiao, the adopted daughter of the Xia family and a medical graduate student.

Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) slept on the sofa in the bedroom at night. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) had a nightmare, reliving the scene of his car accident. Seeing his unease, Xia Miaomiao hurriedly came over to comfort him. However, Leng Zhixing tightly held her hand, and she had no choice but to sleep beside him. In the morning, Leng Zhixing was surprised to find Xia Miaomiao had slept through the night, taking care of him. He apologized to her and, as Xia Miaomiao checked his pulse, she discovered he suffered from severe insomnia. She suggested making more medicine packs next time.

Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to attend a birthday celebration where he would meet his grandfather. Grandfather was delighted to see that Leng Zhixing had finally married Xia Jingxi according to his wishes. He intended to gift her 5% of Leng Group's shares. However, Xia Miaomiao revealed the truth that she was a stand-in bride. Grandfather, enraged, fainted when Leng Zhixing showed him pictures of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan having fun together.

Xia Miaomiao promptly administered first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather was out of danger. The doctor praised Xia Miaomiao for her accurate judgment of the situation, foreseeing a promising future for her. Grandfather informed Leng Zhixing that only the two of them were left in the Leng family and whoever could handle Mosnian of the Empire Group would be entrusted with the presidency of Leng Group. Hearing that Mosnian always wore a mask, making dealings difficult, Xia Miaomiao, on the side, revealed the business card she received from the masked man that night.

Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) escorted Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) back to school. Shixiong Yuhang had always liked Xia Miaomiao, but she informed him that she had already married Leng Zhixing, making a relationship with him impossible. Yuhang, upon hearing that Xia Miaomiao had married her cousin, immediately planned to talk to her about it, not wanting her to be held back by someone with a disability. Leng Zhixing happened to come to the school to pick up Xia Miaomiao and completely ignored Yuhang, taking her back home.

That night, Xia Miaomiao studied hard. She aimed to enter the pharmaceutical research institute of Leng Group based on her own abilities. Leng Zhixing suggested that she didn't need to work so hard, and to spare her from unnecessary effort, he fell asleep with Xia Miaomiao's English-Chinese dictionary as his pillow. Watching him sleep with his eyes closed, Xia Miaomiao found it adorable.

Leng Jiaxuan plagiarized Leng Zhixing's plan and discussed cooperation with Mosnian. Grandfather, upon learning of this, scolded Leng Jiaxuan severely. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to accompany him on a business trip. Leng Jiaxuan sent someone to assassinate Leng Zhixing, but thanks to Leng Zhixing's subordinates arriving in time, they rescued him and Xia Miaomiao. On the way, Leng Zhixing experienced post-traumatic stress disorder from his car accident. Xia Miaomiao hurriedly accompanied him to the hospital for an examination, but Leng Zhixing was fine. He even gave Xia Miaomiao a vegetable garden, suggesting she could come there in her free time to grow flowers and vegetables.

Upon learning about Leng Jiaxuan's attack on Leng Zhixing, Grandfather became furious and scolded Leng Jiaxuan harshly. In a fit of whimsy, Leng Jiaxuan actually pushed Grandfather down the stairs.

Leng Jiaxuan took advantage of Grandfather's unconsciousness and used a prepared will to make him press his fingerprint on it. Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) learned about Grandfather falling down the stairs suddenly and hurriedly came to the hospital with Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu). After the doctor's treatment, Grandfather's life was no longer in danger, but he remained unconscious, and when he would wake up was uncertain. Leng Zhixing knew that Leng Jiaxuan must be behind this conspiracy and warned him not to engage in wrongdoing again, or he wouldn't be lenient.

Leng Jiaxuan, eager to advance the cooperative project in Gaojia Village, ordered his subordinates to proceed with it regardless of any obstacles. Xia Miaomiao came to find Leng Zhixing, informing him that her mother's grave was in the project area in Gaojia Village. She hoped Leng Zhixing could stop Leng Jiaxuan from digging up her mother's grave. Leng Zhixing told her not to worry and took her to the site to assess the situation. On the way, Leng Zhixing asked about her mother's situation. Xia Miaomiao showed him a photo of her mother and explained that her mother suffered from a mental illness. Six years ago, she ran out, caused a car accident after hitting someone else's car, and died.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhixing was shaken to the core. When he saw the photo of Xia Miaomiao's mother, his heartbeat accelerated, and he trembled uncontrollably. He ordered the driver to stop the car and sternly told Xia Miaomiao to get out. It turned out that six years ago, Leng Zhixing's parents were the ones killed in the car accident caused by Xia Miaomiao's mother, and he himself injured his leg in that accident. Despite Xia Miaomiao's persistent phone calls, Leng Zhixing decided not to answer anymore. The realization that her mother was responsible for the death of his parents made him believe that they could never be together.

Yuhang, seeing Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) in such distress, comforted her and shared that his cousin, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo), used to be quite normal. However, his temperament changed drastically since their parents' car accident six years ago. Feeling the need to clear things up, Xia Miaomiao decided to meet with Leng Zhixing.

Unintentionally, she overheard a conversation between her father and Leng Jiaxuan, where they argued about uneven profit distribution. Leng Jiaxuan casually mentioned the incident from six years ago when Gao Xiaolan (Xia Miaomiao's mother) caused the accident that killed Leng Zhixing's parents. Xia Miaomiao learned that her mother died in a conspiracy, and her adoptive father had been using her all along. Now aware of the reason for her breakup with Leng Zhixing, she resolved to investigate the conspiracy behind the car accident and help him uncover the truth.

Xia Miaomiao called Mosnian, expressing her desire to meet him. Upon meeting, she shared her plans to become the general manager of the Xia family's company and also assist Mosnian in obtaining benefits from Leng Group. Wearing a mask, Leng Zhixing agreed, and a deal was struck. Returning home, Xia Miaomiao found her father welcoming, but her mother accused her of getting too close to Mosnian, especially considering she was Leng Zhixing's wife. During dinner, Xia Miaomiao proposed working at the Xia family's company, surprising her father.

At the Xia family, a girl in a wedding dress, Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu), was being forcefully pushed to the ground by her sister, Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi and the second young master of Leng Group, Leng Zhixing, had a prior engagement, but due to Leng Zhixing's disability from the car accident six years ago, he was unable to perform his marital duties. Xia Jingxi didn't want to marry him and live as a widow, so the family decided to have Xia Miaomiao marry him instead to save the family business. Xia Miaomiao's wedding was desolate, and when she reached Leng Zhixing's room, it was empty. She heard a sound from the bathroom, entered to check, and accidentally slipped, falling into Leng Zhixing's arms while he was bathing.

Leng Zhixing was indifferent to this forced marriage, believing Xia Miaomiao married him solely for the assets of the Leng family. Consequently, he kept her at a distance, not even allowing her on the bed. Leng Jiaxuan, Leng Zhixing's third brother, engaged in constant rivalry with him. Leng Zhixing knew that Leng Jiaxuan was implicated in the car accident from six years ago. Grandfather urged Leng Zhixing to secure his position as the president of Leng Group. This angered Leng Jiaxuan, who was resentful about Leng Zhixing inheriting the position. He informed Leng Zhixing that he had married Xia Jingxi, who had been with him since the age of eighteen, claiming everything about her belonged to him. Leng Zhixing, upon hearing this, grew even more disgusted with Xia Miaomiao.

Xia Miaomiao approached her father, Xia Zhengnan, expressing her desire to work at Xia Corporation. Xia Mother initially objected, believing Miaomiao, as a recent graduate, couldn't contribute much to the company. Xia Father suggested she start from the grassroots level. However, Miaomiao pointed out that when she married into the Leng family, they helped Xia Corporation during a crisis by purchasing 15% of its shares. Now, she wanted to become the general manager of Xia Corporation. Xia Jingxi protested, asserting that Miaomiao, as an adopted daughter, had no right to compete with her. Xia Zhengnan intervened, emphasizing that the person who secures the position of general manager would be in charge. Remembering that Leng Zhixing had once offered her the Asia-Pacific agency rights for the luxury brand HE as part of their breakup, Miaomiao realized she had to accept this gift from Leng Zhixing.

The university alumni association held a meeting at Du Siyu's vacation resort. Du Siyu intercepted Miaomiao and humiliated her, warning her to stay away from Lin Yuhang. Unwilling to back down, Miaomiao warned Du Siyu not to be too arrogant, or she would face embarrassment. Du Siyu, feeling both embarrassed and angry, conspired with a few close friends to teach Miaomiao a lesson.

Leng Zhixing, upon hearing that Miaomiao attended the university alumni association meeting at Du Siyu's resort, had a foreboding feeling. He immediately wheeled himself out to prepare for the situation. Leng Jiaxuan, angered that Leng Zhixing had married his woman, vented his frustration by overturning Leng Zhixing's wheelchair. Leng Zhixing fell to the ground in a miserable state. Upon returning to his room, he found Miaomiao reading. He unleashed a barrage of scolding, accusing her of being emotionally rich and attracting men since the age of eighteen. Despite Miaomiao's distress, Leng Zhixing didn't allow her to explain and promptly kicked her out.

Xia Miaomiao, representing the outstanding graduates, was tasked with delivering a speech at the alumni association. As she was about to prepare, Du Siyu's friends deceived her into the kitchen. Du Siyu swiftly pushed Miaomiao into the kitchen's freezer, locked the door, and set the temperature to several degrees below zero. Miaomiao urgently pounded on the door, but since it wasn't cooking time, no one heard her. She attempted to make a call, but the phone was damaged due to the cold. Soon, Miaomiao found herself freezing inside, and her limbs were becoming numb.

At night, Xia Miaomiao slept on the living room sofa. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing had a nightmare about his car accident. Concerned, Miaomiao rushed to comfort him. However, Leng Zhixing tightly held her hand, and Miaomiao ended up sleeping by his side. In the morning, Leng Zhixing, realizing that Miaomiao had spent the night taking care of him, apologized for his behavior. Miaomiao, while checking his pulse, discovered his severe insomnia and suggested preparing more herbal packs next time.

Leng Zhixing asked Miaomiao to attend a birthday celebration at the Leng family. Grandfather, delighted that Leng Zhixing had finally married Xia Jingxi as he wished, intended to gift her 5% of Leng Corporation's shares. Miaomiao had no choice but to reveal the truth. Learning that Miaomiao had been a substitute bride, Grandfather got angry. Leng Zhixing showed him a photo of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan engaging in inappropriate activities, causing Grandfather to faint. Miaomiao administered first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather's condition stabilized. Grandfather praised Miaomiao for her accurate judgment and foresaw a bright future for her.

Grandfather informed Leng Zhixing that only the two brothers remained in the Leng family. Whoever could handle Mo Sining of Di Hao Group would be entrusted with the position of Leng Corporation's president. Hearing that Mo Sining always wore a mask, making it difficult to deal with, Miaomiao, on the side, handed Leng Zhixing the business card given to her by the masked person that night.

Leng Zhixing quickly arrived, asking Lin Yuhang about Miaomiao's whereabouts, assuming she had left to find him. Leng Zhixing received a data tracking message from Luo Tian, revealing Miaomiao's location in the freezer. He immediately put on the mask, pretending to be Mo Sining. Leng Zhixing reached the freezer, broke in, and found Miaomiao unconscious. He carried her out.

Arriving at the hotel reception, Leng Zhixing was told there were no rooms available, as the staff had been warned by Du Siyu not to allow Miaomiao to stay. Du's chairman scolded Du Siyu and quickly arranged a room for Leng Zhixing. Leng Zhixing left the place in Luo Tian's care and swiftly took Miaomiao to the room. Du's chairman worried about Mo Sining's knowledge, but Du Siyu remained oblivious to the trouble she had caused. The chairman collapsed due to anger, and Leng Zhixing undressed to warm Miaomiao with his body. As Miaomiao regained consciousness, she acknowledged the truth and realized they couldn't be together. However, Leng Zhixing expressed his inability to leave her, and they reconciled, embracing each other passionately.

Xia Miaomiao instructed her subordinates to remove Xia Jingxi's belongings from the general manager's office. Enraged, Jingxi was about to confront Miaomiao when Xia Zhengnan entered and sternly rebuked Jingxi. Angered, Jingxi stormed out. Seeing Miaomiao, Xia Zhengnan immediately changed his tone, praising her for her significant contributions to the Xia Corporation. He mentioned that he had long intended for Miaomiao to join the company but respected her dedication to traditional Chinese medicine research.

Inwardly, Miaomiao thought that if she hadn't discovered Xia Zhengnan's hidden secret, she might have believed him. Xia Zhengnan informed Miaomiao that Xia Corporation would host a charity gala, urging her and Leng Zhixing to attend. He also requested Miaomiao to invite Mo Sining, to which she readily agreed.

Jingxi sought out Leng Jiaxuan, asking for his help in regaining the agency rights for HE, her favorite brand. Leng Jiaxuan informed her that as long as the old man (referring to their grandfather) was alive, true decision-making power could only be obtained by occupying the position of chairman. This, however, required a significant amount of money, and he suggested that Jingxi seek Xia Zhengnan's assistance. That night, Jingxi sneaked into Xia Zhengnan's office, hoping to find a solution.

Meanwhile, Miaomiao discovered clues about the car accident from six years ago. Xia Zhengnan had been transferring money to an account under the name Liu Xiaoshan. Leng Zhixing immediately ordered Luo Tian to investigate. Xia Zhengnan, upon learning about the inquiry into Liu Xiaoshan, ordered his silence. Luo Tian tracked down Liu Xiaoshan, and Leng Zhixing rushed to find him. However, Liu Xiaoshan had gone into hiding to escape Xia Zhengnan's pursuit.

Taking advantage of Grandfather's unconscious state, Leng Jiaxuan used a prepared will to obtain his fingerprint. Leng Zhixing learned about Grandfather's sudden fall down the stairs and hurriedly brought Miaomiao to the hospital. After medical treatment, Grandfather's life was out of danger, but he remained unconscious, and the timing of his recovery was uncertain. Leng Zhixing suspected Leng Jiaxuan's conspiracy and warned him not to engage in wrongful deeds again, threatening that he wouldn't be lenient next time.

Leng Jiaxuan, eager to advance the cooperation project in Gaojia Village, instructed his subordinates to proceed regardless of the circumstances. Miaomiao approached Leng Zhixing, revealing that her mother's grave was in the project area, and she requested him to prevent Leng Jiaxuan from digging up her mother's grave. Leng Zhixing told her not to worry and took her to the site. During the journey, Leng Zhixing inquired about Miaomiao's mother. Miaomiao showed him a photo and explained that her mother suffered from a mental illness, and six years ago, after causing a car accident while fleeing, she died.

Leng Zhixing, upon hearing this, was shocked and visibly shaken. He ordered the driver to stop the car and sternly told Miaomiao to get out. Unbeknownst to Miaomiao, six years ago, Leng Zhixing's parents were the ones killed in the car accident caused by Miaomiao's mother, and he himself was injured, resulting in his leg impairment. Miaomiao had been calling Leng Zhixing, but he decided not to answer. The revelation that her mother was responsible for the death of his parents made any possibility of a relationship between them impossible.

Xia Miaomiao was busy at work when her secretary rushed in, looking flustered. The secretary informed her that there was a problem – a beauty salon under Xia Corporation had quality issues. Customers had complained about the use of fake and substandard products, resulting in disfigurement. The situation was escalating, and Miaomiao quickly directed the secretary to handle the aftermath, compensating where necessary and taking corrective measures. Meanwhile, Xia Jingxi, sitting at her desk, reveled in the situation, playing with a neutral pen, curious to see how Miaomiao would resolve the crisis.

In the evening, Xia Miaomiao continued working overtime to identify the root cause of the problem. After a night of investigation, she finally found the cause. Leng Zhixing, who was away on a business trip, couldn't reach Xia Miaomiao but suddenly saw the news about her facing trouble. He hurriedly returned to Jianghai City with Luo Tian.

A relative of a patient was holding a dagger, forcing an employee of Xia Corporation. Xia Miaomiao approached to pacify him, but he quickly turned the knife towards her. Xia Jingxi walked down the stairs, further inciting the agitated relative. Miaomiao informed him that the issue stemmed from product development at the Leng Group. When the relative recalled how Jingxi had identified herself as the wife of the Leng Group's president, he turned the knife towards Jingxi.

Yu Hang, seeing Xia Miaomiao in distress, comforted her. He explained that Jingxi's behavior changed dramatically after their parents' accident six years ago. Xia Miaomiao felt the need to meet Leng Zhixing and clarify matters. However, she unintentionally overheard a conversation between her father and Leng Jiaxuan. Xia's father and Leng Jiaxuan argued over uneven distribution of gains, and Jiaxuan casually mentioned the car accident six years ago involving Gao Xiaolan. Xia Miaomiao learned that her mother died in a conspiracy, and her adoptive father had been manipulating her all along. She now understood the reason for the breakup with Leng Zhixing and was determined to investigate the conspiracy behind the accident.

Xia Miaomiao called Mo Sining, expressing her desire to meet him. In their meeting, she revealed her plan to become the general manager of Xia's company and help Mo Sining secure the interests of the Leng Group. Leng Zhixing, masked, agreed to the deal. Xia Miaomiao returned home, where her father warmly welcomed her, but her mother accused her of getting too close to Mo Sining, considering she was Leng Zhixing's wife. During dinner, Miaomiao proposed working at Xia's company, surprising her father.

In another scene, Xia's second daughter, Xia Miaomiao, wearing a wedding dress, was violently pushed down by her sister Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi and the second young master of the Leng Group, Leng Zhixing, were initially engaged, but due to Zhixing's disability after a car accident six years ago, he was now wheelchair-bound and unable to function as a man. Therefore, Jingxi didn't want to marry him and preferred to stay a widow after marriage. Xia Miaomiao, being the adopted daughter of the Xia family, was prepared to be married off in her place; otherwise, the Xia family business would have to close down.

Xia Miaomiao's wedding was desolate, with no one to send her off. Upon entering Leng Zhixing's room, she found it empty. Hearing sounds from the bathroom, she entered and accidentally slipped, falling into the arms of Leng Zhixing, who was taking a bath. Leng Zhixing was indifferent to his forced wife, considering her marriage a scheme by her grandfather to exploit the Xia family's assets. Therefore, he wanted Miaomiao to stay away from him, not even allowing her on the bed.

Leng Jiaxuan, Leng Zhixing's third brother, always engaged in covert conflicts with him. Leng Zhixing knew that Jiaxuan was implicated in the car accident six years ago. Grandfather wanted Leng Zhixing to secure the position of CEO in the Leng Group, making Jiaxuan resentful. When Jiaxuan informed Leng Zhixing that he had married Xia Jingxi, who had followed him since she was eighteen, Leng Zhixing felt even more disgusted, especially towards Xia Miaomiao.

Leng Zhixing was worried about Xia Miaomiao, so he hurriedly returned to handle the situation. To ensure Miaomiao's safety, he, without regard for his own safety, wheeled in his wheelchair to shield her. The assailant's dagger cut Leng Zhixing's arm, but Miaomiao rushed forward to check, and both the assailant and Xia Jingxi fled in fear. Miaomiao hurriedly bandaged Leng Zhixing's wound. Leng Zhixing asked how she knew the issue was with the Leng Corporation's products. Miaomiao, being part of Leng's medical product research team, explained that the preservative in the product significantly exceeded the standard and was practically poisonous. Leng Zhixing, filled with resentment, remarked on Leng Jiaxuan's madness for profit, stressing the need to act promptly and not tolerate his misdeeds.

Luo Tian arrived, surprising Xia Miaomiao as he was Mo Sining's subordinate. Luo Tian concealed the truth, stating that Mr. Mo was concerned about Xia Miaomiao's well-being, prompting him to come. They took Leng Zhixing to the hospital for treatment, with Leng Zhixing instructing Miaomiao to wait for him. In the grandfather's hospital room, Leng Zhixing assured the still unconscious grandfather that he would protect the Leng Corporation.

As Xia Miaomiao wheeled Leng Zhixing out of the hospital, a man cleaning nearby unintentionally called her Gao Xiaolan. Startled, Miaomiao questioned him about her mother. Leng Zhixing detained the man, insisting on learning the truth. The man revealed he was Director Wang from the mental hospital. Gao Xiaolan, when admitted fourteen years ago, was mentally sound. However, six years ago, someone took her away, and since then, anyone who had contact with Gao Xiaolan received money to leave the facility.

Xia Miaomiao proposed to her father, Xia Zhengnan, that she wanted to work at Xia Corporation. Initially opposed, Xia's mother argued that Miaomiao had just graduated and was not capable of contributing to the company. Miaomiao countered, revealing that when she married into the Leng family, they purchased 15% of Xia Corporation's shares to help it through a crisis. Now, she wanted to be the general manager of Xia Corporation. Xia Jingxi objected, considering Miaomiao an adopted daughter, but Xia Zhengnan intervened, stating that with the upcoming entry of the international luxury brand HE into the country, Xia Corporation needed to secure the agency rights.

Remembering when Leng Zhixing broke up with her, Miaomiao recalled him handing over the Asia-Pacific agency rights for HE. Xia Zhengnan, realizing the importance, instructed her to accept Leng Zhixing's gift. At the university alumni gathering in Du Siyu's vacation village, Du Siyu confronted Xia Miaomiao, warning her to stay away from Lin Yuhang. Xia Miaomiao, not backing down, warned Du Siyu not to be too arrogant, or she would face embarrassment. Feeling embarrassed and angry, Du Siyu discussed plans with her close friends to teach Xia Miaomiao a lesson.

Leng Zhixing, hearing from Luo Tian that Xia Miaomiao was attending the alumni gathering, felt a sense of foreboding and immediately went to prepare. Leng Jiaxuan, infuriated that Leng Zhixing married his woman, overturned Leng Zhixing's wheelchair in anger. Returning to the room, Xia Miaomiao was reading when Leng Zhixing began berating her, accusing her of being emotionally complex and attracting men at eighteen. Despite Miaomiao's defense, Leng Zhixing didn't allow her to explain and angrily kicked her out.

After listening to Director Wang's account, Xia Miaomiao felt deeply saddened by the inhumane torment her mother had endured. Leng Zhixing tenderly held her hand, comforting her and promising to protect her in the future. Today was the day for the Leng Corporation to hold a shareholder meeting to elect a new chairman. Leng Jiaxuan, full of confidence, waited in the hall early, condescendingly telling Leng Zhixing that he could now return home to treat his legs. In addition to dividends, he would also provide him with pocket money out of brotherly consideration. Accompanying Leng Jiaxuan, Xia Jingxi proudly informed Xia Miaomiao that she was the true chairman's wife.

Leng Zhixing paid little attention to him, coldly reminding him not to be too confident in life. In the meeting room, Leng Jiaxuan distorted the truth, accusing Leng Zhixing of putting profits above everything else and causing great harm to users by using substandard products. He claimed credit for resolving the media hype by using his connections and saving the Leng Corporation from a negative impact. Leng Zhixing played the video from that day for the shareholders, but due to Leng Jiaxuan's prior manipulation, when the final votes were cast, Leng Jiaxuan received 19 votes, while Leng Zhixing only received three. Leng Jiaxuan, in his arrogance, prepared to take office.

However, the grandfather's voice came from outside the door, and Xia Miaomiao wheeled him in. He had already awakened, angrily rebuked Leng Jiaxuan, and announced that Leng Zhixing was the new chairman of the Leng Corporation. As an outstanding representative of the graduating class, Xia Miaomiao was chosen to speak at the alumni meeting. When she went to prepare, Du Siyu's friends deceived her into the kitchen. Du Siyu quickly pushed her into the freezer, locked the door, and set the temperature to dozens of degrees below zero. Xia Miaomiao urgently pounded on the door, but since it wasn't cooking time, no one heard her. She tried to make a call, but the phone was frozen. Soon, Xia Miaomiao was freezing inside, and her limbs were about to stiffen.

Xia Miaomiao slept on the living room sofa at night. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing had a nightmare about his car accident. Seeing him uneasy, Xia Miaomiao hurriedly came to comfort him. He tightly held her hand, and Miaomiao had no choice but to sleep beside him. In the morning, Leng Zhixing found Xia Miaomiao had slept on his bed and apologized for it. Miaomiao, checking his pulse, found severe insomnia and suggested preparing more herbal packs next time. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to attend a birthday celebration where he would meet Mo Sining. Grandfather was pleased to see Leng Zhixing finally marry Xia Jingxi according to his wishes. He intended to give Xia Jingxi 5% of Leng Corporation's shares, but Xia Miaomiao revealed the truth.

Learning that Xia Miaomiao was a substitute bride, Grandfather became furious. Leng Zhixing showed the video of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan enjoying themselves to Grandfather, who fainted on the spot. Xia Miaomiao provided timely first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather was out of danger. The doctor praised Xia Miaomiao for her accurate judgment and predicted a promising future. Grandfather told Leng Zhixing that now, with only the two brothers in the Leng family, whoever could handle Mo Sining from the Dehao Group would be appointed as the chairman of the Leng Corporation. However, hearing that Mo Sining always wore a mask, making him difficult to approach, Xia Miaomiao pulled out the business card given by the masked person that night.

During the last visit to his grandfather, Leng Zhixing found that the grandfather had already awakened. To avoid alerting the enemy, they devised a strategy to let Leng Jiaxuan freely perform. With Xia Miaomiao consistently using acupuncture and massage to care for the grandfather, his legs quickly recovered. Infuriated, Leng Jiaxuan stormed out of the office building. Xia Jingxi and Xia Zhengnan were waiting, and Xia Jingxi was disappointed to learn that Leng Jiaxuan had not taken over as chairman.

Accompanied by Director Wang, Luo Tian pointed out the person who took away Gao Xiaolan. Director Wang identified Leng Jiaxuan and Xia Zhengnan, adding that one person was absent that day. Leng Zhixing received a call from Luo Tian, assuring Xia Miaomiao that he would handle everything. He apologetically confessed to Xia Miaomiao that he was, in fact, Mo Sining, a fact she had suspected. Xia Jingxi returned home in tears, demanding that her parents swap her and Xia Miaomiao back. After all, Xia Miaomiao was just a substitute bride, and the name on the marriage certificate belonged to Xia Jingxi. Her mother advised her kindly, but Xia Zhengnan shook his head, stating that it was her and her mother who had forced Xia Miaomiao into the marriage in the first place.

Leng Jiaxuan found Xia Jingxi, telling her about the substantial funds in his overseas account and suggesting they get married immediately. Xia Jingxi, however, rejected him and threw herself onto Leng Zhixing's wheelchair, pretending to be wronged. Leng Zhixing disdainfully pushed her away, discarded the blanket even, and left in his wheelchair. Leng Zhixing and Xia Miaomiao resolved their misunderstandings and opened up to each other. When Xia Miaomiao woke up and saw Leng Zhixing looking at her affectionately, she couldn't help but kiss him. Leng Zhixing handed her an envelope, and upon opening it, Xia Miaomiao found her appointment letter as the CEO of HE in the Asia-Pacific region. She asked Leng Zhixing how he knew she wanted this position, and he explained that he overheard Leng Jiaxuan and Xia Jingxi discussing it.

Xia Miaomiao shared her plans with Leng Zhixing, expressing her desire to investigate the secrets of the car accident from back then. Leng Zhixing supported her in whatever she chose to do. Xia Miaomiao asked Leng Zhixing why he still used a wheelchair when his legs were healed. He replied that it was to deceive Leng Jiaxuan. On the day of the announcement of the CEO of HE in the Asia-Pacific region, Xia Miaomiao pushed Leng Zhixing in. Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan had already arrived, with Xia Jingxi looking confident. Leng Zhixing didn't expose her, only instructing Xia Miaomiao to push him into the conference room.

HE's Chief Designer, Wade, announced that Xia Miaomiao was appointed as the CEO of the Asia-Pacific region. Xia Miaomiao confidently went to the main seat to speak. Furious, Xia Jingxi was scolded out of the room by Xia Miaomiao. Following Xia Zhengnan's earlier intentions, Xia Miaomiao secured the general agency for HE for Xia Corporation and rightfully became the general manager of Xia Corporation. Leng Zhixing escorted Xia Miaomiao back to school. Senior brother Yuhang had always liked Xia Miaomiao, but she told him that she had married Leng Zhixing, and it was impossible between them. Yuhang, upon learning that Xia Miaomiao had married his cousin, immediately wanted to have a clear conversation. Leng Zhixing, coincidentally visiting the school, ignored Yuhang and brought Xia Miaomiao back home.

Xia Miaomiao worked hard to review her lessons at night. She aimed to enter the pharmaceutical research institute of the Leng Corporation based on her own abilities. Leng Zhixing told her that she didn't need to work so hard and, to prevent her from exerting herself, decided to sleep using Xia Miaomiao's English-Chinese dictionary as a pillow. Xia Miaomiao watched him sleep with closed eyes, finding him adorable. Leng Jiaxuan plagiarized Leng Zhixing's plan and discussed cooperation with Mosning. Grandfather scolded Leng Jiaxuan severely upon learning of the plagiarism. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to accompany him on a business trip. Leng Jiaxuan's attempt to assassinate Leng Zhixing was thwarted by Leng Zhixing's subordinates, saving him. While returning, Leng Zhixing experienced post-traumatic stress disorder from the car accident. Xia Miaomiao rushed him to the hospital for an examination, where it was determined that he was unharmed. He even gave Xia Miaomiao a vegetable garden, suggesting she could come there in her free time to tend flowers and vegetables.

Upon learning about Leng Jiaxuan's attack on Leng Zhixing, Grandfather erupted in anger and scolded Leng Jiaxuan harshly. Leng Jiaxuan, in a fit of whimsy, even pushed Grandfather down the stairs.

Xia Jingxi, taking advantage of her convenient position in the Xia family's public relations department, secretly manipulated the media, creating a public opinion storm online. She falsely claimed that Xia Miaomiao had schemed her way into the position of the wife of the chairman of the Leng Corporation, causing discussions throughout the company. Unable to bear it any longer, Xia Miaomiao slapped Xia Jingxi in public and warned her not to act recklessly again. After seeing the news, Leng Zhixing intentionally posted pictures of himself and Xia Miaomiao on the internet, showcasing their affection and causing public opinion to shift in favor of Xia Miaomiao.

Upon returning home, Xia Jingxi received a scolding from her father, Xia Zhengnan. Frustrated, she left home. Leng Jiaxuan crouched in a corner and called Xia Zhengnan, demanding to settle scores; otherwise, he would reveal what he knew to Leng Zhixing. Although Xia Zhengnan verbally agreed to Leng Jiaxuan's request, he secretly sent an assassin to kill Leng Jiaxuan. Leng Jiaxuan narrowly escaped and decided to take matters into his own hands, preparing to disclose everything to the public.

Leng Jiaxuan found Xia Jingxi and warned her. If she didn't cooperate with him, she wouldn't get anything from the Xia family. He then revealed all of Xia Zhengnan's secrets to Xia Jingxi, who was shocked by the revelations. Xia Miaomiao ordered her subordinates to remove Xia Jingxi's belongings from the general manager's office. Xia Jingxi, humiliated, was about to confront Xia Miaomiao when Xia Zhengnan arrived. He sternly reprimanded Xia Jingxi, who angrily left the house. Seeing Xia Miaomiao, Xia Zhengnan immediately changed his tone, praising her for her significant contribution to the Xia family. He claimed that he had always intended for Xia Miaomiao to join the Xia family but respected her wishes, especially since she had been dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine research.

Xia Miaomiao couldn't help but think that if she hadn't discovered Xia Zhengnan's dark secrets, she might have believed him. Xia Zhengnan informed Xia Miaomiao that the Xia family would be hosting a charity event soon and suggested that she and Leng Zhixing attend together. He also asked her to invite Mosning. Xia Miaomiao agreed readily. Xia Jingxi sought out Leng Jiaxuan, asking for his help in regaining the agency rights for HE, her favorite brand. Leng Jiaxuan informed her that the old man was still alive, and only by truly assuming the position of chairman could he have a say. This required a significant amount of money, which he knew Xia Zhengnan had. He hoped Xia Jingxi would assist him.

During the night, Xia Jingxi infiltrated Xia Zhengnan's office to access the computer. Meanwhile, Xia Miaomiao also discovered clues about the car accident six years ago. Since then, Xia Zhengnan had been transferring money to an account belonging to someone named Liu Xiaoshan. Leng Zhixing immediately instructed Luo Tian to investigate. Learning about the investigation, Xia Zhengnan ordered Liu Xiaoshan to be silenced. Luo Tian found Liu Xiaoshan's whereabouts, prompting Leng Zhixing to seek him out. However, Liu Xiaoshan, evading pursuit from Xia Zhengnan, had gone into hiding.

Taking advantage of his grandfather's unconscious state, Leng Jiaxuan used a prepared will to have his grandfather leave a thumbprint on it. Leng Zhixing learned of his grandfather's sudden fall down the stairs and hurriedly went to the hospital with Xia Miaomiao. Although the doctors treated his grandfather and averted immediate danger, he remained unconscious, and when he would wake up was uncertain. Leng Zhixing knew that Leng Jiaxuan must be behind this conspiracy and warned him not to continue his wrongful actions. Leng Jiaxuan, eager to advance the cooperation project in Gaojia Village, ordered his subordinates to proceed regardless of the circumstances.

Xia Miaomiao approached Leng Zhixing, informing him that her mother's grave was at the Gaojia Village project site. She hoped Leng Zhixing would stop Leng Jiaxuan from disturbing her mother's resting place. Leng Zhixing advised her not to worry and took her to the site to have a look. On the way, Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao about her mother's situation. She showed him her mother's photo and explained that her mother suffered from a mental illness and died in a car accident six years ago after running into another car. Upon hearing this, Leng Zhixing shuddered, and when he saw Xia Miaomiao's mother's photo, his heart raced, and he began trembling. He ordered the driver to stop and sternly told Xia Miaomiao to get out of the car.

Six years ago, it turned out that Leng Zhixing's parents were the ones hit and killed by Xia Miaomiao's mother in a car accident, and he also injured his leg in that crash. Although Xia Miaomiao had been calling Leng Zhixing, he decided not to answer. With her mother responsible for the death of his parents, he believed that he and Xia Miaomiao could never be together.

Xia Zhengnan is planning to hold the Xia Charity Gala, and Xia Miaomiao is pushing Leng Zhixing to attend with her. When Xia Zhengnan inquires about Mosning, Xia Miaomiao informs him that he is unavailable. Xia Jingxi rushes in like a mad person, attempting to assault Xia Miaomiao. Xia Zhengnan quickly intervenes and pulls her away. Xia Jingxi, furious, reveals that Xia Miaomiao is Xia Zhengnan's illegitimate daughter. Shocked, Xia Miaomiao urgently asks Xia Zhengnan if it's true. Xia Zhengnan angrily scolds Xia Jingxi for spreading nonsense. Witnessing Xia Jingxi crying and causing a scene, Xia Jingxi's mother quickly takes her away.

At this moment, a man with a hat walks in, looking at Xia Miaomiao and commenting that she looks exactly like Gao Xiaolan. Xia Zhengnan, alert, watches him closely. The man takes off his hat, startling Xia Zhengnan, and says, "Aren't you supposed to be long dead?" He bitterly reveals that Xia Zhengnan, to protect his reputation and business, had him sabotage the car's brake pads and put Gao Xiaolan in the car. The result was a tragic accident, with deaths and severe injuries. To silence him, Xia Zhengnan ordered his house to be burned down. His wife and child perished in the flames, while he survived but became a living corpse. Liu Xiaoshan finishes speaking, grabs a dagger, and rushes towards Xia Zhengnan. Leng Zhixing quickly shields Xia Miaomiao, and the man stabs Xia Zhengnan in the chest.

Xia Zhengnan is urgently taken to the hospital. In his dying moments, he requests to see Xia Miaomiao. Busy with work, Xia Miaomiao is suddenly informed by her secretary that there is a problem. The beauty salon under Xia's name has faced quality issues, with customers complaining about the use of counterfeit products that resulted in disfigurement. Xia Miaomiao hurriedly arranges for her secretary to handle the aftermath, compensating where necessary.

Smirking at her workstation, Xia Jingxi is delighted. She plays with a neutral pen and wonders how Xia Miaomiao will handle this situation. Xia Jingxi calls the media, stating that she wants tomorrow's news to be about Xia Miaomiao causing customer disfigurement due to her lack of business competence. She demands the removal of Xia Miaomiao from her position as the general manager.

In the evening, Xia Miaomiao continues to work overtime, investigating the cause of the problem. Unable to reach Xia Miaomiao, Leng Zhixing, who is away on a business trip, suddenly sees the news and learns about Xia Miaomiao's trouble. He quickly returns to Jianghai City with Luo Tian.

A patient's family member, wielding a dagger, is forcing an employee of the Xia family's company. Xia Miaomiao approaches to pacify him, but he quickly puts the knife to her neck. Xia Jingxi comes downstairs, further instigating the agitated family member. Xia Miaomiao informs him that the problem lies with the product development at the Leng Corporation. Revealing herself as Leng Corporation's president's wife, she points the man's anger towards Xia Jingxi. Remembering that Xia Jingxi had identified herself as the president's wife when she approached him, the man turns the knife towards Xia Jingxi.

Seeing Xia Miaomiao (Guo Jiayu) in such distress, Yu Hang comforts her. He mentions that his cousin used to be normal until six years ago when their parents had a car accident. Xia Miaomiao feels the need to meet Leng Zhixing (Xie Yibo) and clarify matters. While eavesdropping on her father's conversation with Leng Jiaxuan, Xia Miaomiao accidentally discovers that her mother died in a conspiracy. She realizes that her adoptive father has been using her all along. Understanding the reason for the breakup with Leng Zhixing, she decides to investigate the conspiracy behind the car accident and help him uncover the truth.

Xia Miaomiao calls Mosning, expressing her desire to meet him. When Mosning meets Xia Miaomiao, she shares her thoughts. She wants to become the general manager of Xia's company and help Mosning secure the interests of the Leng Corporation. Wearing a mask, Leng Zhixing agrees, and a deal is struck. Returning home, Xia's father welcomes her warmly, but her mother accuses her of getting too close to Mosning, especially since she is Leng Zhixing's wife. During dinner, Xia Miaomiao proposes joining Xia's company, leaving her father momentarily stunned.

In the Xia household, a girl in a wedding dress is violently pushed to the ground by her sister, Xia Jingxi. Xia Miaomiao (Guo Jiayu) is in the wedding dress, and Xia Jingxi is pushing her. Xia Jingxi and Leng Zhixing (Xie Yibo), the second son of the Leng Corporation, have a pre-arranged engagement. However, Leng Zhixing became disabled in a car accident six years ago, and he has been in a wheelchair since. It is said that he cannot perform as a man anymore. Therefore, Xia Jingxi does not want to marry him, fearing a lonely life after marriage. Xia Miaomiao, an adopted daughter of the Xia family, is prepared to be married in her place; otherwise, the Xia family's business will have to close down.

The wedding ceremony for Xia Miaomiao is very quiet, with no one to see her off. Upon reaching Leng Zhixing's room, she finds it empty. Hearing sounds from the bathroom, she enters to check but accidentally slips and falls into the bath where Leng Zhixing is bathing. Leng Zhixing is cold towards the wife forcibly given to him by his grandfather, thinking that she married him solely for the assets of the Leng family. Therefore, he keeps Xia Miaomiao at a distance and even refuses to let her onto the bed.

Leng Jiaxuan, the third brother of Leng Zhixing, has always been in a power struggle with him. Leng Zhixing knows that Leng Jiaxuan is involved in the car accident from six years ago. Grandfather wants Leng Zhixing to secure the position of the chairman of the Leng Corporation, which angers Leng Jiaxuan. He tells Leng Zhixing that he has married Xia Jingxi, who has been with him since she was eighteen, and everything about her belongs to him. Leng Zhixing, hearing this, feels even more disgusted with Xia Miaomiao.

When Xia Zhengnan was on the brink of death, he requested to see Xia Miaomiao. He apologized to her and entrusted Xia Corporation to her care. He also asked her to take care of Xia Jingxi. Xia Zhengnan handed the key to the Xia Foundation's safe to Xia Miaomiao, mentioning that another key was with Leng Jiaxuan. He urged Xia Miaomiao to find a way to retrieve it. His words, including the request for Xia Miaomiao to call him "dad," were overheard by Xia Jingxi.

Xia Jingxi meets Mosning to discuss cooperation. She knows that Mosning likes Xia Miaomiao and claims to have a plan to bring Xia Miaomiao to his bed. In return, she wants Leng Zhixing. Mosning asks why she doesn't consider him, and Xia Jingxi truthfully admits that she is afraid of Mosning's face. Mosning, unperturbed by Xia Jingxi's straightforwardness, readily agrees to cooperate with her.

While Xia Miaomiao is busy, Xia Jingxi insincerely brings her chicken soup, advising her to take care of her health. After drinking a few sips, Xia Miaomiao feels dizzy and faints on the table. Xia Jingxi enters with her men, takes Xia Miaomiao away, and confiscates the key that Xia Zhengnan gave her. When Xia Miaomiao wakes up, she finds Mosning standing by her bed. Startled, she screams, but Mosning still approaches her. Unbeknownst to them, Xia Jingxi, hiding in the shadows, takes photos of them in bed.

Concerned for Xia Miaomiao, Leng Zhixing rushes back in his wheelchair, encountering this situation. To ensure Xia Miaomiao's safety, Leng Zhixing, disregarding his own safety, uses his wheelchair to block the man. The man's dagger scratches Leng Zhixing's arm. Xia Miaomiao rushes forward to check on him, and the man and Xia Jingxi flee in panic. Xia Miaomiao quickly tends to Leng Zhixing's wound.

Leng Zhixing asks her how she knew that the problem was with the Leng Corporation's product. Xia Miaomiao reveals that she is part of the Leng Corporation's medical product research team and that the preservative in this product significantly exceeds the standard, making it essentially poisonous. Leng Zhixing expresses his hatred for Leng Jiaxuan's insane actions for the sake of profit. Luo Tian arrives, and Xia Miaomiao is surprised because Luo Tian is Mosning's subordinate. Luo Tian, covering up, says that Mosning is concerned about Xia Miaomiao, so he came to check on her. They take Leng Zhixing to the hospital, and Leng Zhixing asks Xia Miaomiao to wait for him. In his grandfather's hospital room, still in a coma, Leng Zhixing promises to protect the Leng Corporation.

As Xia Miaomiao pushes Leng Zhixing out of the hospital gate, a man cleaning calls her "Gao Xiaolan" unintentionally. Startled, Xia Miaomiao urgently asks how he knows her mother. Leng Zhixing seizes the man, demanding that he reveal the truth. The man is Director Wang from the mental hospital. Fourteen years ago, Gao Xiaolan was admitted as a normal person, but six years ago, someone took her away. Since then, anyone who had contact with Gao Xiaolan received money and was required to leave. Xia Miaomiao confronts her father, Xia Zhengnan, about entering Xia Corporation. Xia Mother initially opposes it, arguing that Xia Miaomiao has just graduated and can't contribute much. Xia Father suggests starting from the grassroots. Xia Miaomiao proposes that when she married into the Leng family, they bought 15% of Xia Corporation's shares to help them through a crisis. Now she wants to become the general manager of Xia Corporation. Xia Jingxi protests, but Xia Father explains that with the entry of the international luxury brand HE into the country, Xia Corporation must obtain the agency rights. Whoever becomes the general manager will have control. Xia Miaomiao recalls that when she broke up with Leng Zhixing, he gave her the Asia-Pacific agency rights for HE, considering it breakup compensation. Now, she must accept this gift from Leng Zhixing. The university alumni association is held at Du Siyu's vacation resort. Du Siyu intercepts Xia Miaomiao to humiliate her and warns her to stay away from Lin Yuhang. Xia Miaomiao retaliates, warning Du Siyu not to be too arrogant, or she will end up in an embarrassing situation. Angered and embarrassed, Du Siyu discusses with her close friends a plan to teach Xia Miaomiao a lesson. Concerned about Xia Miaomiao, Leng Zhixing returns hastily. When he hears that Xia Miaomiao is attending the university alumni association at Du Siyu's resort, he has a foreboding feeling. He rushes there in his wheelchair to prepare. Leng Jiaxuan redirects his anger, accusing Leng Zhixing of marrying his woman. He overturns Leng Zhixing's wheelchair. Leng Zhixing falls, and when he returns to his room, Xia Miaomiao is reading. Leng Zhixing immediately scolds her, accusing her of being emotionally rich and attracting men at the age of eighteen. Xia Miaomiao, feeling wronged, is not allowed to explain, and Leng Zhixing angrily kicks her out.

The subordinates reported to Leng Zhixing that Xia Jingxi wanted to see him, but Leng Zhixing refused. Xia Jingxi handed over some photos to Leng Zhixing's secretary, prompting an immediate change of mind from Leng Zhixing. Upon meeting Xia Jingxi, Leng Zhixing inquired about her intentions. Xia Jingxi elaborated on the matter involving Xia Miaomiao and Mosning, emphasizing that Xia Miaomiao had betrayed him. She claimed to genuinely love Leng Zhixing and expressed her desire to take care of him. Xia Jingxi informed Leng Zhixing that she had obtained the key to the Xia Foundation's safe and could help him find Leng Jiaxuan, uncovering evidence of their involvement in harming Leng Zhixing's parents. Leng Zhixing's demeanor softened towards Xia Jingxi, instructing his subordinates to arrange a room for her to stay in.

The next day, Xia Miaomiao sought out Leng Zhixing to explain the previous day's events. Leng Zhixing forcefully pushed her aside and, instead, intimately embraced Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi felt triumphant, taking a photo of the two and threatening to post it online. Leng Zhixing, however, responded gently, saying she could do as she pleased. Xia Jingxi proposed marriage to Leng Zhixing, and he agreed. When the news spread, Lin Yuhang, furious, confronted Leng Zhixing, admonishing him for betraying Xia Miaomiao. Leng Zhixing insisted they had a prior engagement.

Feeling pleased, Xia Jingxi urged Leng Zhixing to quickly arrange the wedding. Leng Jiaxuan, hidden away, learned of this and seethed with anger. When Xia Jingxi handed the wedding invitation to Xia Miaomiao, the latter displayed unusual excitement. Upon hearing Director Wang's account, Xia Miaomiao was deeply saddened by the inhumane torture her mother had endured. Leng Zhixing comforted her, promising to protect her in the future.

On the day of the shareholder meeting to elect a new chairman for the Leng Corporation, Leng Jiaxuan arrogantly told Leng Zhixing that he could now return home to treat his leg. He even promised to give him pocket money out of brotherly love. Accompanying Leng Jiaxuan, Xia Jingxi proudly declared herself as the true chairman's wife. Leng Zhixing paid little attention, coldly reminding him not to be too confident.

In the meeting room, Leng Jiaxuan distorted the truth, accusing Leng Zhixing of endangering users for profit. Leng Zhixing played the video from that day for the shareholders. Due to Leng Jiaxuan's prior manipulation, the final vote gave 19 in favor of Leng Jiaxuan and only three for Leng Zhixing. As Leng Jiaxuan smugly prepared to take office, Grandfather, who had regained consciousness, entered. He berated Leng Jiaxuan and declared Leng Zhixing as the new chairman.

As an outstanding representative of the graduates, Xia Miaomiao was tasked with speaking at the alumni association. However, she was lured into the kitchen by Du Siyu's friends, locked in the freezer, and the temperature lowered to sub-zero. Xia Miaomiao desperately pounded on the door, but it wasn't cooking time, and no one heard her. Her attempts to call for help were thwarted as the phone froze. Soon, Xia Miaomiao felt her limbs becoming icy, on the verge of freezing.

Xia Miaomiao slept on the sofa in the bedroom that night. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing had a nightmare, reliving the car accident. Concerned, Xia Miaomiao approached to comfort him, but Leng Zhixing tightly held her hand. She had no choice but to sleep beside him. In the morning, Leng Zhixing, realizing what happened, apologized to Xia Miaomiao. She had taken care of him all night, and he expressed gratitude. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to attend an event also attended by Mosning. Grandfather was pleased to see Leng Zhixing marrying Xia Jingxi and intended to gift her 5% of the Leng Corporation. Xia Miaomiao, however, revealed the truth about her identity.

Learning that Xia Miaomiao was a substitute bride, Grandfather became furious. Leng Zhixing showed Grandfather a video of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan together, causing Grandfather to faint. Xia Miaomiao promptly administered first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather was out of danger. Grandfather commended Xia Miaomiao's accurate judgment and predicted a bright future for her. Grandfather told Leng Zhixing that only the two brothers remained in the Leng family, and whoever could handle Mosning of the Emperor Group would become the new president of the Leng Corporation. Hearing that Mosning always wore a mask, Xia Miaomiao took out the business card given to her by the masked person that night.

Xia Jingxi defiantly took Leng Zhixing's wedding invitation to find Xia Miaomiao. Upon seeing it, Xia Miaomiao became extremely agitated. She threw the invitation at Xia Jingxi and told her to leave. Xia Jingxi, feeling triumphant, left the Xia residence, expressing disdain for the family now that she had Leng Zhixing.

Suddenly, Leng Jiaxuan grabbed Xia Jingxi, scolding her for lacking shame and hastily wanting to unite with Leng Zhixing. Xia Jingxi remembered Leng Zhixing's words that they needed to obtain the key and USB drive from Leng Jiaxuan before getting married for a happy life. During Leng Zhixing's last visit to his grandfather, who was already awake, they devised a plan to let Leng Jiaxuan perform theatrics without revealing the truth. With Xia Miaomiao's acupuncture and massage, his grandfather's leg quickly recovered.

Furious, Leng Jiaxuan stormed out of the office building, where Xia Jingxi and Xia Zhengnan were waiting. Learning that Leng Jiaxuan had not accepted the chairmanship, Xia Jingxi was thoroughly disappointed. Accompanied by Director Wang and Luo Tian, they identified the individuals responsible for taking away Gao Xiaolan. Director Wang pointed at Leng Jiaxuan and Xia Zhengnan, adding that the third person was absent that day. Leng Zhixing, receiving a call from Luo Tian, assured Xia Miaomiao that he would handle everything. Apologetically, he confessed to Xia Miaomiao that he was Mosning. Xia Miaomiao, having already guessed it, comforted him.

Back home, Xia Jingxi cried and caused a scene, urging her parents to exchange her with Xia Miaomiao, as Xia Miaomiao was just a substitute bride, and the marriage certificate had Xia Jingxi's name. Her mother advised her, but Xia Zhengnan shook his head, reminding her that they had forced Xia Miaomiao to be the substitute bride. Leng Jiaxuan found Xia Jingxi and informed her of his overseas account with a substantial amount of money, proposing an immediate marriage. However, Xia Jingxi pushed him away and threw herself onto Leng Zhixing's wheelchair, pretending to be wronged. Disgusted, Leng Zhixing pushed her away, leaving even the blanket aside, and wheeled away.

Leng Zhixing and Xia Miaomiao resolved their issues and opened up to each other. When Xia Miaomiao woke up and saw Leng Zhixing looking at her affectionately, she kissed him shyly. Leng Zhixing handed her a folder containing the appointment letter for the CEO of HE Asia-Pacific. Surprised, Xia Miaomiao asked how he knew she wanted this position, and Leng Zhixing explained he overheard Leng Jiaxuan and Xia Jingxi discussing it. Xia Miaomiao shared her plan with Leng Zhixing, expressing her desire to investigate the secrets of the car accident as the new CEO. Leng Zhixing assured her of his support. Xia Miaomiao asked Leng Zhixing why he still used a wheelchair when his legs were fine. Leng Zhixing replied that it was to deceive Leng Jiaxuan.

On the day of the announcement of the HE Asia-Pacific CEO, Xia Miaomiao, pushed by Leng Zhixing, confronted Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan, who appeared confident. Xia Jingxi taunted Xia Miaomiao, but Leng Zhixing only let Xia Miaomiao push him into the meeting room. Wade, the chief designer of HE, announced Xia Miaomiao as the new CEO. Xia Jingxi, infuriated, was scolded and expelled from the room by Xia Miaomiao. Following Xia Zhengnan's earlier suggestion, Xia Miaomiao secured the agency for HE for Xia Corporation and became the general manager of the Xia Corporation.

Leng Zhixing accompanied Xia Miaomiao back to school. Senior brother Yuhang always liked Xia Miaomiao, but she told him that she had married Leng Zhixing, making any relationship between them impossible. Senior brother Yuhang, upon hearing that Xia Miaomiao had married his cousin, decided to clarify the situation. However, Leng Zhixing, arriving at the school, ignored Yuhang and took Xia Miaomiao home. That night, Xia Miaomiao diligently studied, aiming to enter the pharmaceutical research institute of the Leng Corporation based on her merit. Leng Zhixing suggested she didn't need to work so hard and, to make her less stressed, slept with his head on the English-Chinese dictionary. Xia Miaomiao, watching him sleep, found him cute.

Leng Jiaxuan plagiarized Leng Zhixing's plan and negotiated cooperation with Mosning. Grandfather, upon learning this, berated Leng Jiaxuan severely. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to accompany him on a business trip. An assassination attempt on Leng Zhixing was thwarted by his subordinates, who rescued him. Leng Zhixing and Xia Miaomiao, on their way, faced the repercussions of Leng Zhixing's trauma from the car accident. Xia Miaomiao rushed him to the hospital, but Leng Zhixing was unharmed. He gifted Xia Miaomiao a vegetable garden for her leisure, where she could grow flowers and vegetables.

After learning about Leng Jiaxuan's attack on Leng Zhixing, Grandfather became furious and scolded Leng Jiaxuan. Leng Zhixing informed Xia Miaomiao that he would handle everything. He confessed apologetically to Xia Miaomiao that he was Mosning. Xia Miaomiao, having already guessed it, comforted him. Xia Jingxi rushed to find Leng Zhixing, presenting the obtained USB drive and key to him for recognition. Leng Zhixing, however, coldly pushed her away, stating that the game was over, and he would not marry her because he intended to spend his life with his wife, Xia Miaomiao. Leng Zhixing tightly held Xia Miaomiao's hand. Xia Jingxi, realizing her misunderstanding, left angrily. Xia Jingxi returned home, mentally disturbed. Leng Jiaxuan initially wanted revenge but, seeing her in a distressed state, decided against it.

Leng Zhixing tightly embraced Xia Miaomiao, stating that he couldn't let Leng Jiaxuan have access to that funding and do as he pleased. Initially, he didn't want Xia Miaomiao to be involved, but eventually, Xia Miaomiao suffered grievances. Nevertheless, he appreciated Xia Miaomiao's excellent cooperation and suggested she should learn acting. Unwilling to accept his current situation, Leng Jiaxuan decided to take a desperate gamble.

Using her influence in the Xia Corporation's Public Relations Department, Xia Jingxi manipulated the media covertly, creating a public opinion storm on the internet. She claimed that Xia Miaomiao had stolen the position of the wife of Leng Corporation's chairman, arousing discussions throughout the company. Unable to endure it any longer, Xia Miaomiao publicly slapped Xia Jingxi and warned her not to act recklessly. Seeing the news, Leng Zhixing deliberately posted pictures of himself and Xia Miaomiao on the internet, showcasing their affection, and public opinion immediately shifted in favor of Xia Miaomiao. Xia Jingxi returned home, where Xia Zhengnan scolded her. Furious, she left the house.

Leng Jiaxuan, in a corner, called Xia Zhengnan, demanding a settlement; otherwise, he would reveal everything to Leng Zhixing. Though Xia Zhengnan verbally agreed, he secretly sent assassins to kill Leng Jiaxuan. Leng Jiaxuan narrowly escaped and, determined, prepared to expose everything to the public. Finding Xia Jingxi, Leng Jiaxuan warned her. If she didn't cooperate, she wouldn't get anything from the Xia family. He disclosed all of Xia Zhengnan's secrets to her, shocking Xia Jingxi.

Under Xia Miaomiao's orders, her subordinates removed Xia Jingxi's belongings from the general manager's office. Xia Jingxi, seeing this, became infuriated. She was about to confront Xia Miaomiao when Xia Zhengnan arrived. He sternly reprimanded Xia Jingxi, who angrily ran out. Seeing Xia Miaomiao, Xia Zhengnan changed his attitude, praising her for her significant contribution to the Xia Corporation. He claimed he had always intended for Xia Miaomiao to join the company but respected her wishes, as she had been dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine research. Xia Miaomiao, knowing about Xia Zhengnan's shady secrets, pondered that she almost believed him. Xia Zhengnan informed Xia Miaomiao about the upcoming charity event hosted by Xia Corporation and suggested she invite Mosning. Xia Miaomiao agreed.

Xia Jingxi sought Leng Jiaxuan's help to regain the agency for HE, her favorite brand. Leng Jiaxuan informed her that the old man (referring to Leng Zhixing's grandfather) was still alive, and to gain the authority, he needed a significant amount of money. He knew Xia Zhengnan had it and hoped Xia Jingxi would assist him. One night, Xia Jingxi sneaked into Xia Zhengnan's office to open his computer. At the same time, Xia Miaomiao found clues about the car accident from six years ago, discovering that Xia Zhengnan had been sending money to an account named Liu Xiaoshan. Leng Zhixing immediately instructed Luo Tian to investigate.

Upon learning that Liu Xiaoshan was being investigated, Xia Zhengnan ordered to silence him. Luo Tian found Liu Xiaoshan's whereabouts, and Leng Zhixing came to find him, but Liu Xiaoshan had hidden to evade Xia Zhengnan's pursuit. Taking advantage of his grandfather's unconscious state, Leng Jiaxuan used a prepared will to get his fingerprint. Leng Zhixing and Xia Miaomiao rushed to the hospital upon hearing that the grandfather had fallen down the stairs. After treatment, the grandfather was out of danger but remained unconscious. Leng Zhixing warned Leng Jiaxuan not to cause trouble, or he wouldn't be lenient. Leng Jiaxuan, eager to proceed with the cooperation project in Gaojia Village, ordered his subordinates to proceed no matter what.

Xia Miaomiao informed Leng Zhixing that her mother's grave was in the Gaojia Village project area and asked him to prevent Leng Jiaxuan from digging it up. Leng Zhixing advised her not to worry and took her to the site. On the way, Leng Zhixing asked about her mother, and Xia Miaomiao showed him her mother's photo, explaining her mother's mental illness and the car accident six years ago. Leng Zhixing, upon hearing this, was shocked and felt his heart racing. He sternly told the driver to stop, instructed Xia Miaomiao to get off, and left her standing alone. Six years ago, Xia Miaomiao's mother had caused the car accident that killed Leng Zhixing's parents and injured his leg. Xia Miaomiao had been calling Leng Zhixing, but he decided not to answer. The revelation about her mother made any relationship between them impossible.

Subordinates hurriedly informed Xia Miaomiao that Leng Jiaxuan had placed explosives in the underground garage, intending for both Xia Miaomiao and Leng Zhixing to die together. Xia Miaomiao quickly ordered everyone to evacuate and rushed to the underground garage. Indeed, Leng Jiaxuan had set a timed bomb in the car. He approached Xia Miaomiao, intending to control her. At that moment, Leng Zhixing arrived, urging everyone to remain calm and not involve innocent people in their family matters. However, Leng Jiaxuan, in a deranged state, screamed that he had become a bereaved dog due to Leng Zhixing, and everyone, including his grandfather, treated him unfairly. He declared that if he couldn't live well, everyone should die together. Leng Jiaxuan ordered his men to brutally beat Leng Zhixing, attempting to cripple his legs again. Seizing an opportunity, Leng Zhixing pushed Leng Jiaxuan into the car and quickly opened the door, driving away. Everyone was safe, but Leng Zhixing and Leng Jiaxuan had disappeared.

Upon waking up, Xia Miaomiao discovered that she was pregnant. She bravely decided to give birth to the child and waited persistently for Leng Zhixing.
