Set in the world of rouge making during the Republican era, the story follows the romantic entanglements between the second young master of Lang Manor and the mysterious Gu Haitang.

Gu Haitang (Li Yitong) is a beautiful young woman of marriageable age. In search for her father's whereabouts, she arrives in Kunyang and encounters Yue Xuan (Deng Lun), the Lang Family's second son. An argument between them gets them comfortably acquainted with each other. Gu Haitang finds work at the Lang Family's rouge making factory and catches the eye of Yue Ming (Ying Haoming), the family's eldest son. In order to make her his bride, the Lang Family tricks Haitang into a fake wedding and when she finds out that she had married Yue Ming, she becomes hateful towards Yue Xuan for deceiving her.

Promising to cure Yue Ming's face in exchange for her divorce papers, Haitang gains her freedom. Yue Xuan is racked with guilt over his actions and comes to realize that he loves Haitang. He starts to pursue her once more but their love is both passionate and painstaking. After Yue Ming recovers, his obsession spirals into hatred.
