Jianyu was abandoned by his girlfriend. The heart-torn man was about to commit suicide when he was rescued by the mysterious beauty Shangzhen. It turns out that Shangzhen wanted him to pose as her boyfriend to sabotage her ex-boyfriend’s wedding. It was not until Jianyu moved in with Shangzhen that he found out Shangzhen, who appeared to be a gorgeous woman could be such a shrewd. When Jianyu and Shangzhen weren’t enough for Shangzhen’s ex to call off the wedding, Shangzhen brought in her cousin Yongzhen, who was a trainer at a Tae Kwon Do training center. When Jianyu learned from Yongzhen that Shangzhen only turned into a shrewd after she was brutally betrayed by her ex-boyfriend Yangguo, the two wounded heart came together.
