Li Hai corners Ella at Prescott Group and demands she resign, claiming he chose Tingting because Ella is an orphan with no status and he refuses to be burdened by her. Ella refuses to leave.

Ella is late to mop the floor after chasing the thief. Her colleague warns that Miles will fire her. When Miles appears, Ella is shocked to recognize him as her disabled husband at home.

A colleague demands Miles fire Ella for failing to clean. Jewelry master Yang Wanqing arrives and reveals that Ella just chased down a thief and recovered her stolen bag, saving millions in designs. She publicly praises Ella's bravery.

Ella explains to Miles that she skipped cleaning to help someone in an emergency. Instead of punishing her, Miles promotes her to head of the cleaning team. Li Hai arrives as Zhou Dong's son-in-law to report for work, but Miles refuses to hire him and sends him away. Yang Wanqing asks Ella's age and mentions that her daughter Yuqi is returning soon.

Tingting demands to know why Li Hai was rejected by Miles. Xiao Li reveals that Ella has been promoted. An enraged Li Hai blocks Ella's path, accusing her of ruining him out of spite, but Ella dismisses him and walks away.

As Li Hai harasses Ella, Miles' car waits by the curb. Ella gets in, watched by Li Hai and Tingting, who speculate she is seducing Miles and mention Yang Yuqi's imminent return. In the car, Miles asks Ella to keep her distance from Li Hai. Grandmother then calls, urging them to come home because the doctor has arrived to treat Miles' legs.

Miles breaks down during a thunderstorm, calling out for his parents as traumatic memories resurface. Ella holds him close and soothes him, staying by his side through his anguish.

With Ella by his side, Miles overcomes his psychological fear and stands up for the first time in years. The doctor shows Ella how to massage his legs daily, and she promises to do so, determined to help him walk again soon.

While Ella massages Miles' legs, he suddenly says he feels something, but not in his legs. He confesses he wants her and asks if she is willing. Ella replies that as his wife, she is willing.

Ella tells Miles she is willing, but admits she doesn't know how and asks him to teach her. They confess their mutual affection, and Ella says she wants to have his child, believing he will be a good father.

Yang Yuqi returns from abroad and visits Miles at his company. Staff gossip that she and Miles are a perfect match, childhood sweethearts from prominent families. Ella overhears and looks dejected before being asked to deliver a plant to Miles's office.

Ella delivers a plant to Miles's office and finds Yang Yuqi there. Miles notices Ella's red hands and tries to touch them, but she pulls away. After learning who Ella is, Yang Yuqi visits the cleaning department, announces she is treating everyone to lunch, and singles out Ella to join.

Yang Yuqi invites company executives to lunch under the pretense of thanking Ella, but singles her out to attend as a cleaner. During the meal, she orders Ella to mop the floor and wipe up spills in front of everyone. Ella complies quietly, only to find the food gone when she finishes.

After the dishes are cleared, Ella is left with only a steamed bun. Yang Yuqi mocks her in front of the executives. Miles Prescott arrives unexpectedly and sees Ella sitting alone eating a bun, demanding an explanation.

Ella is left eating a steamed bun in the corner when Miles Prescott arrives. He joins her, then demands to know who ordered her to work during lunch. An executive admits responsibility, and Miles fires him on the spot, declaring that all employees are equal.

After work, Xiao Li urges Ella to show her designs to Miles, but Ella feels unqualified compared to Yang Yuqi and just wants to improve on her own. Miles tells Chen Tezhu that Yang Yuqi lacks talent and spirit in design, lamenting that Yang Wanqing has no worthy successor.

Miles attempts to stand and walk in the office when Xiao Li sees him. She tells him that Ella has been self-studying up to graduate-level courses, and that her adoptive mother forbade her from learning. Miles later discovers jewelry design sketches left by Ella.

Miles receives Ella’s design sketches and agrees to mentor her. Yang Yuqi overhears and jealously vows to stop Ella. Meanwhile, feeling unwell, Ella takes a pregnancy test and discovers she is carrying Miles’s child.

Ella arrives at the office to share her pregnancy news with Miles. Yang Yuqi and Yang Wanqing are present, and Yang Wanqing publicly urges Miles to marry Yuqi, citing their childhood bond. The room erupts in cheers for the match.

Ella holds up a pregnancy test in front of everyone and tells Miles she is pregnant. Overjoyed, Miles immediately rejects Yang Yuqi, stating he has never liked her. Humiliated, Yuqi insults Miles's legs before Yang Wanqing silences her.

Ella runs into Li Hai and Tingting outside Miles's party. Li Hai mocks her for chasing Miles, and Ella fires back. During the argument, Ella suddenly doubles over in pain. Li Hai and Tingting refuse to help, but Miles arrives and carries her away.

Miles carries Ella into the hall, shocking everyone by walking on his healed legs. When Li Hai exposes that Ella is married, Miles declares he is her husband and orders the troublemakers seized.

The doctor tells Miles that Ella is two weeks pregnant with signs of threatened bleeding and needs rest. Fearing Miles no longer needs her now that his legs have healed, Ella offers to raise the baby alone, but Miles confesses he only likes her and promises to want both her and the baby.

Miles brings Ella to a banquet, where Yang Yuqi accuses Ella of stealing Miles and pressures her mother Yang Wanqing to slap Ella. Ella denies the accusation and says she has no mother, which stirs Yang Wanqing's heart, but Yuqi still pushes her mother to strike.

As Yang Wanqing is about to slap Ella, Miles intervenes and declares that Ella has him. Qian Lao arrives to discuss business, and Yang Yuqi presents her jewelry design, which Qian Lao finds technically skilled but lacking in spirit.

Qian Lao bluntly tells Yang Wanqing that Yang Yuqi's design lacks spirit. Miles asks Qian Lao to examine another design, which captivates him. It turns out to be Ella's work, and Miles urges her to step forward.

The crowd questions Ella's background and tries to block her from the stage. Qian Lao insists on hearing from her, and Ella steps forward. She presents her necklace design, The Tree of Life, and openly shares her rural upbringing and adoption.

Qian Lao is thoroughly impressed with Ella's design, and Miles appoints her as lead designer for the collaboration. Yang Yuqi accuses Ella of stealing the position, but Yang Wanqing admits Ella's ability far surpasses Yuqi's. Overcome with emotion, Yuqi suddenly collapses and is rushed to the hospital.

Yang Yuqi wakes up in the hospital and sends Wang Ma away. Yang Wanqing explains that Yuqi collapsed due to her congenital heart condition after being emotionally agitated. Blaming Ella for everything, Yuqi demands that her mother hold a press conference to blacklist Ella from the jewelry design industry.

Yang Wanqing hesitates to blacklist Ella, praising her talent. Enraged, Yang Yuqi threatens to end her life, accusing her mother of favoritism. Pressured by Wang Ma, Wanqing tearfully agrees to destroy Ella's career to save her daughter.

Miles and Ella return home and show Grandmother that his legs have healed. Ella announces her pregnancy and reveals her identity as jewelry designer Ella Windsor. Overjoyed, Grandmother notices a birthmark on Ella and presses her about its origin.

Grandmother recognizes Ella's crescent birthmark as identical to the Yang family daughter's. Miles recalls seeing the same mark on the Yang baby in childhood, while Yang Yuqi's mark disappeared after an injury. Grandmother orders a DNA test between Ella and Yang Wanqing to find her true family.

Miles washes pregnant Ella's feet, sharing a tender moment. Chen Tezhu reports that Yang Wanqing is holding a press conference at the Yang residence. Ella goes with Miles and feels an uncanny familiarity with the place.

Yang Wanqing is about to announce a ban on Ella at the press conference when Miles and Ella arrive. Ella presents her design sketches, and Yang Wanqing's praise leads her to reconsider her decision.

Yang Wanqing abruptly cancels the press conference, shocking Yang Yuqi. Yuqi accuses her mother of favoring Ella and, in an emotional outburst, threatens to disown her, throwing the scene into chaos.

Ella saves Yang Wanqing and admits she longs for a mother's love. Yang Yuqi threatens to disown her mother and storms off. Grandmother Prescott arrives and announces that Yuqi is not Wanqing's biological daughter.

Grandmother Prescott announces that Yang Yuqi is not Yang Wanqing's biological daughter. She calls Ella forward and reveals a crescent-shaped birthmark on her shoulder, which Wanqing immediately recognizes as her own child's. A paternity test is presented, confirming Ella is the real daughter.

Wang Ma admits she gave birth on the same day as Yang Wanqing and swapped their daughters because her own child had a heart condition she could not afford to treat. Wanqing learns the daughter she raised is actually the nanny's child, while Ella is her biological daughter. Furious, she orders Wang Ma jailed. Yang Yuqi reacts with venomous denial, leaving Wanqing utterly disappointed.

Yang Yuqi is dragged away screaming about her heart condition. Yang Wanqing and Ella embrace in tears, with Wanqing vowing never to leave her again. Miles steps forward to offer congratulations, but Wanqing says he must still be tested. He then reveals he met Ella as a baby and answers that he will marry her.

Yang Wanqing gives Ella twenty-four gifts for her twenty-fourth birthday, making up for lost years. Grandmother transfers fifty percent of Prescott Group shares to Ella, entrusting the family's future to her. Miles wheels in the birthday cake, and Ella makes a wish before blowing out the candles.
