Tang Hao was an honest man making an honest living, but despite all his honesty and kindness, life often looked the other way. Even when he stood up for a man in the streets, he ended up being beaten to a pulp and the man he stood up for? He disappeared. That left Tang Hao with nothing to prove and a hefty medical bill blowing through his savings. However, while he lay unconscious in the hospital, he could feel a warmth coming from the jade pendent he wore as it began to feed him with a trove of priceless information. Now discharged, and still armed with the same naivety and honesty, what will our village peasant do with this newfound power? Will he go on to conquer the hearts of a hundred women? Will he defeat the mightiest crime lords? Only time will tell, but for now, fate has many whimsical plans for Tang Hao.

At the peak of her career, A-list actress Song Ning announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry for love, shocking the nation. Everyone thought that she must have found her ideal home. That was why she was so determined. At first, Song Ning thought so too. For the rest of her life, she would not be a celebrity. She would only be a virtuous and virtuous woman who would take care of her husband and children at home. However, on the night before their wedding, she found out that her fiancé was having an affair with her best friend. Enraged, Song Ning found a random man to register their marriage at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She originally wanted to take revenge on her scumbag fiancé, but she did not expect that the man who registered his marriage with her was the heir of nation's largest financial group, Mu Chen. After they got married, Mu Chen doted on Song Ning and protected her in every way possible. He didn't allow anyone to bully her. Song Ning always thought that she would be happy for the rest of her life and live the best life she wanted. That's right, she got it. It was just a little different from what she had originally imagined. The person who gave her everything was someone else. Many years later… Song Ning looked at Mu Chen affectionately. "I'm really lucky. Thank God I met you and saved me from hell." Mu Chen smiled faintly. “Yes, thank God.” However, Song Ning would never know. Mu Chen wasn't talking about thanking God for letting him meet Song Ning. He was thanking God for letting Song Ning's fiancé cheated on her so that he would have a chance. There was no such thing as an accidental encounter. It was just a premeditated pursuit. That day, he waited for Song Ning outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for ten hours…

Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere verkündete die A-Schauspielerin Song Ning ihren Rückzug aus der Unterhaltungsbranche aus Liebe und schockierte damit die Nation. Alle dachten, dass sie ihr ideales Zuhause gefunden haben musste. Deshalb war sie auch so entschlossen. Das dachte Song Ning anfangs auch. Für den Rest ihres Lebens würde sie keine Berühmtheit mehr sein. Sie würde nur eine tugendhafte und tugendhafte Frau sein, die sich zu Hause um ihren Mann und ihre Kinder kümmern würde. Doch in der Nacht vor ihrer Hochzeit fand sie heraus, dass ihr Verlobter eine Affäre mit ihrer besten Freundin hatte. Wütend suchte Song Ning einen beliebigen Mann auf, um ihre Ehe am Eingang des Amtes für zivile Angelegenheiten zu registrieren. Ursprünglich wollte sie sich an ihrem dreckigen Verlobten rächen, aber sie hatte nicht damit gerechnet, dass der Mann, der seine Ehe mit ihr registrierte, der Erbe des größten Finanzkonzerns des Landes, Mu Chen, war. Nachdem sie geheiratet hatten, kümmerte sich Mu Chen rührend um Song Ning und beschützte sie auf jede erdenkliche Weise. Er erlaubte niemandem, sie zu schikanieren. Song Ning dachte immer, dass sie für den Rest ihres Lebens glücklich sein und das beste Leben führen würde, das sie wollte. Das ist richtig, sie hat es bekommen. Es war nur ein wenig anders, als sie es sich ursprünglich vorgestellt hatte. Die Person, die ihr alles gab, war jemand anderes. Viele Jahre später... Song Ning sah Mu Chen liebevoll an. "Ich habe wirklich Glück. Gott sei Dank bin ich dir begegnet und du hast mich aus der Hölle gerettet." Mu Chen lächelte schwach. "Ja, Gott sei Dank." Doch Song Ning würde es nie erfahren. Mu Chen sprach nicht davon, Gott dafür zu danken, dass er Song Ning treffen durfte. Er dankte Gott, dass er zuließ, dass Song Nings Verlobter sie betrog, damit er eine Chance bekam. So etwas wie eine zufällige Begegnung gab es nicht. Es war einfach eine vorsätzliche Verfolgung. An diesem Tag wartete er zehn Stunden lang vor dem Büro für zivile Angelegenheiten auf Song Ning...
