The stock price of Haitan High-Tech plummeted rapidly from its peak, leading a stockholder unable to bear the immense psychological pressure to commit suicide by jumping off a building. The accusations from stockholders put tremendous pressure on the young and beautiful stock analyst Xu Shan. Meanwhile, the suave chairman of Haitan Group, Chen Shaoze, was delivering a passionate speech at the completion ceremony of the water recycling phase one project, completely unaware that the Haitan Group headquarters was surrounded by a group of angry stockholders, nor did he know that Xu Shan was sitting in her office reviewing internal company documents... That night, Chen Shaoze's wife, Qiao Guanying, had a miscarriage, and his former lover, Xu Shan, suddenly went insane and was hospitalized... Haitan Group's vice president, Pan Shikai, was an adopted son of the Qiao family and harbored feelings for Qiao Guanying. As a purely business-minded individual, he was ruthless in the business world. For the sake of the company's interests and to prove his abilities, Pan Shikai took advantage of Chen Shaoze's preoccupation with the water recycling project and colluded with Qiao Guanying to illegally manipulate Haitan stock for substantial profits. The news of Xu Shan's madness elicited different reactions from everyone. The still-bedridden Qiao Guanying could hardly wait to have Pan Shikai accompany her to the hospital to investigate, only to find Chen Shaoze and Xu Shan together... To treat Xu Shan as quickly as possible, Chen Shaoze specially summoned his sister—psychologist Chen Xiaohui—from London to assist the hospital in her treatment. Chen Xiaohui's boyfriend, Guo Wei, was tasked with reporting the truth behind the stock market fluctuations, and inevitably, he aimed his pen at Chen Xiaohui's brother, Chen Shaoze... In a twist of fate, during her insanity, Xu Shan inadvertently uttered "Shaoze," which greatly surprised Chen Shaoze. He regarded it as a sign that Xu Shan was on the path to recovery. To facilitate her rehabilitation, Chen Shaoze insisted on bringing Xu Shan back to her home and arranged for her caretaker, Xiao Qin, to look after her. Qiao Guanying was filled with jealousy about all this, and she and Chen Shaoze frequently quarreled over Xu Shan... By chance, Chen Xiaohui obtained Xu Shan's old diary, through which she glimpsed the emotional history among Xu Shan, Chen Shaoze, and Qiao Guanying... Ten years ago, Chen Shaoze, Xu Shan, and Qiao Guanying were all students at Binjiang University, with Xu Shan and Qiao Guanying being close friends living in the same dormitory. Qiao Guanying, from a high-ranking family, was deeply infatuated with Chen Shaoze, who was, at that time, captivated by Xu Shan. After some time, Chen Shaoze finally won Xu Shan's heart, but from then on, Qiao Guanying viewed Xu Shan as a stranger. While Chen Shaoze and Xu Shan were immersed in their sweet world, an unexpected incident befell them... After it was all over, Xu Shan was sent back to the countryside, while the young Chen Shaoze ultimately chose Qiao Guanying to fulfill his life ambitions. Many years later, Xu Shan returned to Binjiang, and after an accidental encounter with Chen Shaoze, their old feelings reignited... but this time, their interactions were tinged with a sense of sorrow and regret. Chen Xiaohui heard from Chen Shaoze about the events surrounding that incident years ago, and combined with the suicide of a stockholder, she felt she had uncovered the root of Xu Shan's illness... At this point, Guo Wei was investigating Haitan Group, leading to frequent conflicts between him and Chen Xiaohui, who wanted to protect her brother... Chen Shaoze's water plant inadvertently released untreated water into the river due to workers' negligence, causing a certain degree of pollution. Accusations and pressures from various directions soon followed, and Pan Shikai seized the opportunity to convene an emergency board meeting... Meanwhile, Qiao Guanying became increasingly dissatisfied with Chen Shaoze's concern for Xu Shan, and one day, after getting drunk, she turned off her phone. After resolving the sewage crisis, Chen Shaoze returned home to find Qiao Guanying had not come home all night... Days later, Qiao Guanying quietly proposed a divorce. Qiao's father came from the provincial city to Binjiang and vaguely hinted to Chen Shaoze that there should not be any situations that displeased him concerning Qiao Guanying... Chen Shaoze and Qiao Guanying decided to continue maintaining their marriage, although both of them seemed overly cautious. Under Chen Shaoze's careful care, Xu Shan's condition gradually improved. A familiar song awakened all of Xu Shan's buried memories. But quietly wiping away her tears, Xu Shan made a decision—to pretend to be crazy... However, the observant Chen Xiaohui discovered the secret behind this, and after a conversation, she agreed to keep Xu Shan's secret. After continuous investigation, Guo Wei found that the stock market turmoil was indeed related to the internal affairs of Haitan Group. He wrote a preliminary report that sparked widespread effects, resulting in Pan Shikai and Qiao Guanying facing penalties from outside companies. By this time, Chen Shaoze was fully aware of Pan Shikai and Qiao Guanying's manipulation behind the scenes, but Pan Shikai had already set a trap to ensnare him. Moreover, since most of the illegally obtained funds had already been invested in the water plant project, Chen Shaoze, consumed with rage, could only pretend to be unaware of the situation... Just as Guo Wei was getting closer to the truth, a tragic accident occurred... The news of Guo Wei's death struck Chen Xiaohui like a bolt from the blue, leaving her trapped in prolonged sorrow. Just as she decided to leave, another incident made her think that Xu Shan's illness might not be as simple as she originally imagined... The news of Xu Shan's awakening stirred up quite a commotion among everyone. After much deliberation, the mystery behind Xu Shan's breakdown that night was finally revealed by Chen Xiaohui, but the outcome surprised everyone... Unable to endure Qiao Guanying's unreasonable behavior any longer, Chen Shaoze ultimately handed her the divorce agreement... A desperate Qiao Guanying, seeing that she could not turn back the tide, swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills... Since discovering Pan Shikai's manipulation, Chen Shaoze felt resentful towards him, subsequently devising a plan to force Pan Shikai out of Haitan. But Pan Shikai, unable to accept defeat and fueled by seeing Qiao Guanying's despair, joined forces with Chinese-Indonesian businessman Ji Chengzong to reclaim Haitan's power, ousting Chen Shaoze from the chairman position... Pan Shikai was determined to sell the water recycling project Chen Shaoze was responsible for to another company. Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Shaoze decided... The stock market experienced another turmoil, Pan Shikai was arrested, and Chen Shaoze emerged victorious. Qiao Guanying handed the signed divorce agreement to Chen Shaoze, while Xu Shan accepted Chen Shaoze's proposal, but in his overwhelming joy, Chen Shaoze failed to notice the shadows on Xu Shan's face... A grand wedding banquet began in the top garden... A melancholic flower drifted down from the rooftop... Xu Shan's leap from the building left Chen Shaoze despondent. Looking at the suicide note stained with Xu Shan's blood, a heartbroken Chen Shaoze picked up the phone to confess...
