Xu Shengyi has been drifting in the countryside for many years, until she was brought back to the Xu family for the sake of the second miss of the Xu family's future.
Everyone looks down on this third miss, but the ancient zither master knocks on the door at midnight to beg for a disciple, and it's Xu Shengyi's door he knocks on. As for the second miss Xu Miao, he throws eight words at her.
"Too ugly a disciple, I won't accept!"

Xu father suffers setbacks in the business world, offending a powerful family in the capital with both power and influence. He runs around everywhere begging for help and finally connects through relations to enter the big shot's home.
He sees his own youngest daughter sitting in the seat of honor at the big shot's house, while the big shot serves tea and water below!
***
Until the ninth young master of the Huai family in the capital becomes a visiting professor at the university, Xu mother thinks of her second daughter who once had a chance encounter with Ninth Master Huai.
"Miao Miao, you must seize this opportunity. You're good-looking, excel in studies, and are multi-talented. This Ninth Master Huai is here for you!"
Xu mother is right; Huai Jiuchen came only for one person.
It's the third miss, Xu Shengyi.
When Xu mother finally realizes her youngest daughter can bring her benefits, she hurriedly goes up to fawn over her, but Xu Shengyi slaps a letter of invitation in her face.
"You despised me for being unworthy to show in public, embarrassing you wherever I went. Haven't you already severed ties with me?"
