As she regains her consciousness, she sees someone at her hospital bedside. She realizes that she is no longer the 27 year old woman. Instead, she is now a high schooler named Chen Yan Ru living in 1998 and the person at her bedside is actually a schoolmate named Li Zi Wei. As she's trapped in the past and in another person's life, Huang Yu Xuan tries to change the destiny of Chen Yan Ru.
