The protagonist, Xia Qiqi, erupts in a fierce argument with her mother for secretly using her hard-earned 5000 yuan to buy expensive sneakers for her brother, Xia Yuhao. Not only does her mother show extreme favoritism towards her brother, but she also tries to force Xia Qiqi to marry an older, wealthy executive, planning to deduct the money from the bride price. Xia Qiqi firmly resists, calling it "selling her daughter," and is ultimately driven out of the house by her angry mother and brother. In her despair and helplessness on a rainy night, the male protagonist, Chi Ruoyu, appears in his car and shelters her from the rain, foreshadowing future events.
