After the death of Jocelyn's mother, her father brings home his mistress who then becomes Jocelyn's stepmother. Gradually, she becomes the least favorite person in the family. Her stepmother is mean and her younger sister always bullies her, taking away everything that belongs to her. Meanwhile, the family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her father being a gambler and her stepmother and sister being spendthrifts. At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family. She just wants to get away from this ridiculous wife-picking affair, but fate seems to be leading her towards… The first time they meet, Jocelyn has a one-night stand with Master Aren. The second time they meet, Master Aren gets out of the car in front of Jocelyn's family and grabs her wrist. &quot; Do you think you can run away from me again?” Later, Mr. Brown announced that his future wife will be—Jocelyn.

Aren picked up the napkin beside him and elegantly wiped his mouth. A thought flashed across his eyes as he said seriously to his grandmother, "Three days later, I'll hold another banquet and invite the media over!"

"Good, good, good! This is terrific!"

Grandma Brown was extremely happy. She nodded excitedly at the two of them. "Our family is not short of money. We have to make this banquet a little grand. When the time comes, Grandma will prepare with you. I guarantee that the banquet will be glorious!"

Initially, she thought that her grandson would not get married until next year. She did not expect to see him announcing his marriage this month. At this rate, a wedding wouldn't be far away. This was really something worth celebrating.

At the dining table, Madam Brown found Jocelyn more and more pleasing to the eye. She kept praising Jocelyn for being good-looking and ladylike. The amiable smile on her face made Jocelyn extremely shy.
