In a cruel twist, he forced Fu Zhen to choose only one to survive. Shen Ning was ultimately abandoned and handed over to Li Ming's former lover, Zhou Hong. Harboring her own grudge against the Shen family, Zhou Hong renamed the girl "Shen Yan," meaning "the despised."

As Shen Yan reconnects with her past, long-buried secrets begin to surface, revealing the truth behind that fateful day.
