Born into poverty in a rural village, Lu Xiaofan unexpectedly enters an elite family in the capital as the live-in son-in-law of a powerful official's household.

In this unfamiliar and ruthless world, the only person willing to reach out to him is his wife's older brother, Bei Luqing. One is a young man from the bottom, desperately trying to rise above his fate; the other is a cold, handsome golden boy standing at the top. But what happens when they both fall for the one person they should never love?
