Synopsis

Ren Guang Xi (Vanness Wu) is a law student whose mother is the dean of his college. He had a difficult childhood and takes out his anger on the world by bullying others and taking advantage of his mother’s position. Liang Mu Cheng (Ady An) also had a rough past, but still strives to protect her stepmother from learning that her mother's boyfriend sexually harasses her; Liang applies to college to escape this abuse.

Guang Xi and Mu Cheng meet over a dispute about a car. Guang Xi believes that Mu Cheng is manipulative, and he swears to make her show her true colors. Guang Xi then makes a bet with his friends that he can get Mu Cheng to kiss him within 24 hours. He asks Mu Cheng out, and her stepmother forces Mu Cheng to go on the date since she fears that Guang Xi can shut down the school canteen, which she co-owns. Mu Cheng has her own problems with the date since Guang Xi had threatened to have her best friend, Hua Tuo Ye (Chris Wu), expelled from the school because he gave Mu Cheng a book from the school library.

Guang Xi wins his bet, and Mu Cheng goes home to her stepmother, who encourages Mu Cheng to sell her body. She also mocks Mu Cheng’s desire to play the piano again. Mu Cheng rushes out of the house in anger and runs to the college. She finds a piano in there and plays Air on the G String by Bach. Guang Xi, asleep in the room, hears her and is reminded of his father, who committed suicide years before. He forces Mu Cheng to stop and accuses her yet again of being manipulative. He then attempts to make Mu Cheng strip, but stops when she starts to cry.

Guang Xi asks her to start playing the piano for him every night. Mu Cheng’s stepfather learns about the arrangement and takes advantage of it. When Guang Xi is away, he goes into the music room and attempts to rape Mu Cheng, but is caught by Mu Cheng’s stepmother and Guang Xi. Mu Cheng’s stepfather tries to blame it on Mu Cheng, but Guang Xi knows that he is lying and the school gets involved. Because there is no evidence to prove Mu Cheng innocent or guilty, a Truth Investigation Court is held at the school to find justice. Guang Xi represents Mu Cheng as her lawyer. Tuo Ye finds evidence and presents it to the court, which helps to win the case.

Problems arise when Guang Xi's mother doesn't approve of her son's relationship with Mu Cheng, and she forces an arranged relationship between Guang Xi and He Yi Qian (Ann Hsu). Guang Xi later finds out that he has a tumor in his brain that has been affecting his behavior. At this point, the chances of survival are very low unless he undergoes a new surgical procedure pioneered by He Yi Qian’s father. However, in order to have the operation, he has to leave Mu Cheng and marry Yi Qian. He refuses, but Mu Cheng finds out and, wanting Guang Xi to have the life-saving operation, she leaves him, later finding out that she is pregnant with his son.

Six years pass by and Mu Cheng lives a quiet life with her and Guang Xi’s son, Xiao Le. During the operation that saved his life, Guang Xi lost his memory and doesn’t remember Mu Cheng at all. He is now engaged to Yi Qian and has become a successful lawyer. Guang Xi starts to regain his memory after taking on a case where he defends his client from rape charges. After winning the case, he hears his client speaking about the victim offensively and begins to remember what happened with Mu Cheng. Infuriated, he becomes violent with his client and, as a consequence, is sentenced to 240 hours of community service in the same town that Mu Cheng and Xiao Le are living in. He builds a strong bond with Xiao Le, and Mu Cheng is reminded of why she used to love him.

After ten days of community service, Guang Xi leaves and returns to his normal life. On his wedding day with Yi Qian, he finds an SD card in his bracelet that had been with him for six years. The card contains photographs of him and Mu Cheng, which cause him to regain all of his memories. After realising that Xiao Le must be his son, and remembering Mu Cheng leaving him, Guang Xi becomes bitter and vengeful, telling Mu Cheng that she must marry him or else he will take away Xiao Le.

While on a trip with Guang Xi, Mu Cheng discovers that Tuo Ye has been accused of killing a gang leader. She and Tuo Ye’s mother beg Guang Xi to defend Tuo Ye, and he agrees reluctantly. He finds the real murderer, a girl who was kidnapped by the gang and was abused via unwanted use of drugs. Guang Xi intends to divorce Mu Cheng, as he believes that she is in love with Tuo Ye, but Tuo Ye tells him the truth about why Mu Cheng left him. However, Guang Xi still sends Mu Cheng divorce papers, but their son forces them to reveal their true feelings.
