Plot

The drama centers on Gu Heming (顾鹤鸣), eldest grandson of the Gu family, who fell into a coma eight years earlier in a car crash while saving his wife Shen Xiwei (沈曦薇). The family matriarch, Fang Qingxue (方擎雪), left home in anger at her grandson's disappearance, and the three Gu brothers searched for him without success for eight years. Meanwhile Shen Xiwei, using the assumed name "Zhang Zhiqiang," cared for the comatose Gu Heming in the countryside and raised their dragon-phoenix twins, Gu Cheng (顾程) and Gu Yao (顾瑶), struggling to raise money for his medical bills.¹

Eight years later, Shen Xiwei brings the children to Beijing to raise money and unexpectedly rents a room in Fang Qingxue's courtyard house (四合院). The matriarch warms to her because the children closely resemble Gu Heming, not knowing that Shen Xiwei is her granddaughter-in-law. When Shen Xiwei is betrayed by her best friend while job hunting and falls into danger, the Gu family rescues her and her identity is revealed. Gu Heming wakes but loses his memory, and Su Wanqing (苏晚晴) poses as his fiancée to interfere. He eventually recovers his memory, recognizes Su Wanqing's true nature, and, with Fang Qingxue's support, holds a grand wedding for Shen Xiwei; Su Wanqing's attempt to disrupt it fails and her scheme is exposed.¹^•⁴

A press roundup described the story as one of perseverance and reunion, highlighting the heroine's endurance through hardship and betrayal and the family's reunion after eight years of separation.³
