They send Jin Xiaotian, an undercover cop, to follow her around. By a chance encounter, the two joins Chu Hongfei's son, Chu Hongjie, in his business project which takes them on a journey to Shangri-la, Li Xinyue's hometown. On the journey, Jin Xiaotian and Li Xinyue falls in love with each other but due to his identity as an undercover cop, Jin Xiaotian is reluctant to confess.
