A sad and touching story between Cheng Hao and a pair of twin sisters whose trajectory in life went into opposite extremes after they were separated due to their parents' divorce. When they meet again, they have to make a difficult choice between family and love.
Twin sisters Xia Bing and Xia Xue never saw each other again after being separated at a young age. Xue (Guan Ying) meets Cheng Hao (Hu Ge), a young man full of ideals, and they get married. Xia Bing (Sun Li) was not as fortunate having been abandoned by a heartless man. Nonetheless, she has successfully completed her degree in medicine.
Cheng Hao gets into an accident in his travel from Taiwan to Mainland China. Coincidentally, he is sent to the hospital where Xia Bing works. Suffering from amnesia, Cheng Hao gradually develops feelings for Bing. By the time his wife Xia Xue arrives, he is already deeply in love with Bing and has forgotten everything about his past with Xue.
Bing is devastated to learn that Cheng Hao is a married man and a father to a little girl. Fortunately, Wang Boshen (Yuan Hong) who has always been in love with her arrives in time to prevent a tragedy from happening. Xue is pained from the realization that her husband has changed beyond her recognition. At the same time, she learns that she has leukemia and the only cure is to find a match for the same bone marrow.
