They both are in love with Yan Hao, but Shao Qing learns that Jia An has been saying from childhood that she plans to marry Yan Hao.

But his life is suddenly thrust in a different direction when his father is shot to death over money issues, leaving Yan Hao to pay off his father's debt while also trying to establish his own company. Jia An stays by his side during this trying time, so Shao Qing feels she needs to be out of the picture. Ten years later, Yan Hao and Jia An are married and meet up with Shao Qing again at a school reunion. When Yan Hao sees Shao Qing again, he realizes that he is with the wrong woman.
