Despite?being?a?well-behaved?and?obedient?girl,?Xi?Ruo?is?often?punished?by?Yue?Na?for?one?thing?or?another.?Meantime?Ling?Mu?Tian,?Yue?Na's?ex-lover,?returns?from?England?with?his?family.
雖然惜若生來乖巧聽話，約娜還是看她不順眼，時常借故打罵。與此同時，約娜的舊愛凌牧田，舉家從英倫搬回家鄉。
Soon?after?his?return,?Ling?Mu?Tian?opens?a?clinic?to?practise?western?medicine.?To?protect?her?business?and?past?secrets,?Yue?Na?meets?up?with?Ling?in?private?and?demands?that?he?closes?his?clinic?and?leaves?town.
回鄉后不久，凌牧田就開了一間診所行醫。擔心醫館的生意受影響，更害怕過去的瘡疤被重新揭開，約娜遂私下約見凌，要他即刻關閉診所，帶其家眷離開溪城。
Eight?years?later,?the?Ling?family?moves?back?from?Shanghai.?Ya?Kun,?who?has?completed?his?studies,?also?returns?home?with?the?serious?intention?of?marrying?Xi?Ruo,?after?finding?out?that?they?are?of?different?parentage.
八年后，凌牧田又舉家搬回溪城。剛在上海修完學業的亞坤，也興沖沖地趕回家，打算向惜若求婚。因為他已事前托人調查清楚，他們兩人其實并無血緣關系。
