Despite starting off as bitter enemies, they gradually developed feelings for each other. Cheng Ying, with her refined demeanor and beautiful voice, successfully made her way onto the Golden Stage. Despite Gao Wen Zhong expressing his love multiple times, Cheng Ying turned him down each time. Gao Wen Zhong was heartbroken when Cheng Ying started getting close to Ling Shi Wei, who was actually an enemy of Cheng Ying's family. After encountering her long-lost sister Mei Rou, Cheng Ying attempted to rescue her but tragically, Mei Rou was killed by Ling Shi Wei. Seeking revenge, Cheng Ying found herself in danger but was saved by an old friend. Rather than acting impulsively, Cheng Ying focused on gathering evidence against Ling Shi Wei. When Gao Wen Zhong discovered the truth, he selflessly assisted Cheng Ying in bringing Ling Shi Wei to justice. Gao Wen Zhong's genuine love helped heal Cheng Ying's past pain, leading them to eventually marry and live a simple and content life together.
