In the remote Linglong Mountain Village, the emotional entanglement of the three members of the Jiao family once became a hot topic among the villagers. These three people - elder brother Jiao Shenlong, younger brother Jiao Shenrui and sister-in-law Li Cuihua, their fates always seem to be closely linked, but they are full of twists and turns.
Jiao Shenrui and Li Cuihua grew up together since childhood and have a deep relationship. They played together by the stream in the mountain village, climbed the mountain behind the village together, and made a vow to never leave each other. However, fate always plays tricks on people. Just when Jiao Shenrui decided to propose to Li Cuihua, hoping to spend the rest of his life with her, his brother Jiao Shenlong suddenly intervened.
Jiao Shenlong, the eldest son who has been silently guarding the family, is also deeply in love with Li Cuihua. His heart is full of struggles and contradictions, he neither wants to hurt his brother, but also does not want to give up on the woman he loves. In the end, under the shackles of feudal etiquette, he used his position in the family to forcibly break up Jiao Shenrui and Li Cuihua, and married Li Cuihua as his wife.
Jiao Shenrui's heart was broken, and he couldn't accept this cruel reality. But in the end, under the arrangement of his brother, he was forced to marry a girl in the town, trying to heal the pain in his heart with a new marriage. However, his heart could not be removed from Li Cuihua.
After marriage, Jiao Shenlong was obedient to Li Cuihua, trying to move her with his sincerity and love. However, Li Cuihua's heart was like a cold stone, no matter how hard Jiao Shenlong tried, he couldn't melt the ice in her heart. There was only Jiao Shenrui in her heart, she turned a blind eye to Jiao Shenlong's efforts, and was depressed all day long.
Jiao Shenlong's heart was full of pain and helplessness. He understands that he can't get Li Cuihua's heart, but he can't let go of her to pursue his own happiness. This kind of entanglement and pain made him gradually become irritable and paranoid, and his love for Li Cuihua also became a deformed possession.
However, fate did not let them go. Jiao Shenlong suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. Although Li Cuihua has no love for Jiao Shenlong, as a wife, she still takes care of him with all her heart. In the process, she also experienced great struggle and suffering in her heart. She has never been able to let go of her feelings for Jiao Shenrui, but she can't leave her seriously ill husband alone.
Jiao Shenlong finally failed to survive this serious illness, and he passed away with regret and unwillingness. His death plunged the Jiao family into great grief, but it also brought new hope to Jiao Shenrui and Li Cuihua. They finally have a chance to re-examine their feelings and lives.
After Jiao Shenlong's funeral, Jiao Shenrui's daughter-in-law could not bear the heavy agricultural work and the hardships of life, so she left the mountain village with a business owner. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Jiao Shenrui, but it also made him re-examine his life and feelings. He found that he couldn't forget Li Cuihua deep down in his heart, and Li Cuihua gradually recognized his heart in the process.
As time passed, the relationship between Jiao Shenrui and Li Cuihua gradually warmed up. They support each other and face the difficulties of life together. After all kinds of twists and tribulations, they finally understand that each other is the true destination of each other.
