After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
As Ning Xi followed the elder into the banquet hall, everyone started whispering to each other.
"Who’s the girl beside Elder Ning? She came here dressed like that?"
"I heard the elder call her Xiao Xi just now, could it be...the adopted daughter, Ning Xi?"
"So that's her! It’s been five years and she's still like that, there's been no improvement at all!"
"Hehe, she’s still wearing pirated goods after five years. Has her taste in clothes not improved?"
…
Ning Xi had been going around to do some furniture shopping for the studio decoration with Gong Shangze and Little Treasure, so she had casually worn just a leather jacket with jeans, and tied a neat ponytail.
However, because all of the ladies there that night were wearing long dresses and high heels, she stood out like a sore thumb.
