Beneath the hustle of the metropolis unfolds the intricate tale of Yunxue Yao and Jiang Lingxiao. Yunxue Yao, a woman who dedicated thirteen years of her youth to a love that bore no fruit, ultimately chose to stand strong and wave goodbye after a profound awakening. She didn't just part with a fruitless relationship but resolutely called off an engagement. Her words scornfully judged her past: "Pathetic men are as common as strays; it's time to let go and move on!"

But Yunxue Yao's heart was no longer there, and her answer was laced with sarcasm and disdain: "Mr. Xiao, how have you become the very thing you despise?" The turning point in this relationship arrived when Jiang Lingxiao realized that his hatred for Yunxue Yao paled in comparison to the fear of losing her. He began to soften his stance, gradually lowering his demands: "Yao Yao, I only ask for reconciliation, not marriage." "Yao Yao, I only ask for marriage, not for you to have children." "Yao Yao, let's just have one child; I won’t ask for more..." Yet, each concession seemed to inexorably draw them closer together. And when Yunxue Yao discovered she was carrying their third child, her patience and rationality reached their limits. She confronted Jiang Lingxiao with fury: "Jiang Lingxiao, you despicable man!" Yet he defused her anger with a tender and cunning response: "Yao Yao, the 'little one' is in your belly, and I am your dear." This is a story about love and hate, letting go and holding on.
