Her twin... sisters were luckier and loved by the family, leaving Phương feeling indignant and resorting to extreme measures, such as imprisonment. This time around, she just wants to protect those who really love her and focus on her career.

Meanwhile, Thẩm Khả Di is perplexed as the protagonist in the book is Phương's twin sister and she plans to ditch Phương once she meets her. Yet Phương proves to be driven and committed, much to Thẩm's surprise, leading Phương and her sister to have a reconciled sister-relationship and eventually marrying a woman whom she admires.

Afterward, Lục is intent on getting revenge until Phương develops a successful career, leaving him no chance to retaliate.
