Qiao Mu moved in with the wealthy Qiao family as a bastard at five, living on tiptoes and fearful of upsetting her stepmother and stepsister. The boy next door spoiled her like a princess, buying her cakes and candies, until he suddenly disappeared one day without explanation. Ten years later, he returns. Qiao Mu encounters him again at her eighteenth birthday party, does not recognize him, and wakes up in his bed the next morning. The affectionate big brother who doted on her has transformed into a man of cold power and dangerous intensity, and the series of events that follow suggest he is nothing like the boy she remembers. But beneath the ruthless exterior lies the same devotion that once bought her every sweet in the world. As Qiao Mu navigates the mystery of why he disappeared and who he has become, she discovers that the man who seems so different is still the one person who would burn the world to keep her safe. The sweet wife who thought she was forgotten was never forgotten at all.
