Story Guide
Episode 1
A wedding toast hides a cold truth: Xu Chu has been secretly married to Jiang Yi for three years, and he has never once touched her. Her father pretends the family is bankrupt and hands everything to her sworn brother, so Jiang Yi's company can rise on that quiet support. Their anniversary trip is coming, yet the warmth between them is all performance. Whispers swirl about a baby and a bar, about who is truly "clean." Then the knife twists: someone reveals Jiang Yi never even registered the marriage. Xu Chu's three years of loyalty may have been built on a lie she never saw coming.

Episode 2
The ugly word finally lands: Jiang Yi tells Xu Chu he never touched her because she is "dirty" — every time he looks at her, he relives the night she was kidnapped at their wedding. But another story surfaces. Xu Chu has been working undercover for the rescue operation against a string of kidnappings targeting women. She helped save the victims, and she has the evidence. When she quietly tells him she is pregnant, he barely reacts. Then comes the colder blow — a third person is already waiting to take her place.

Episode 3
Jiang Yi's people openly pity Meng Ruoruo, pregnant and patient, while he keeps the "dirty woman" at home out of habit. They push him to tell Xu Chu the truth, but he refuses — the company is about to go public, and he cannot afford a scandal. At home, he plays the perfect husband, cooking her favorite braised pork. Xu Chu sees through it now: every gentle gesture was an act. She drinks too much and finally asks the question that has haunted three years. His answer — that he stayed in the study on their wedding night — confirms what she feared.

Episode 4
Xu Chu tells him plainly: his three years of devotion were a disguise, and he was never drunk that first night — he was disgusted by her. Now she feels the same revulsion toward him. She hands in her resignation at the hospital and walks away from the life she built. Meanwhile, a child's emergency brings a strange scene — Jiang Yi claims the boy is a colleague's son, a flimsy excuse. Alone with her father, Xu Chu admits she has quit. He tells her not to worry, that from now on he will take care of everything. The break is final.
Episode 5
Meng Ruoruo hosts a gathering and thanks two people: Xu Chu, and Jiang Yi, who has "cared for" her. The drinks turn pointed — tequila, nightclub expertise, and barbs about who is truly clean. Xu Chu fires back with a memory from the kidnapping: locked in the dark room, she saw a girl who looked strikingly like Meng Ruoruo. The accusation lands hard. Meng Ruoruo, pregnant and suddenly cornered, protests that she is innocent and claims she cannot drink. The room splits, and Jiang Yi is forced to choose whose story he believes.
Episode 6
The confrontation explodes. Xu Chu is accused of forcing a pregnant woman to drink, and Jiang Yi sides against her, calling her jealous and vicious. His family piles on, sneering that a low-born woman dared to throw wine at the Jiang family's son. Jiang Yi waves it off as her usual temper, promising she will apologize at tomorrow's birthday banquet. Meng Ruoruo plays the fragile victim, and the family closes ranks around her. Xu Chu stands alone, watching the man she married defend the woman who may have been in that kidnapper's room.
Episode 7
Jiang Yi takes Xu Chu to Meng Ruoruo's birthday banquet — on their own third wedding anniversary. The Jiang family attacks her the moment she arrives, dredging up the kidnapping and the fake bankruptcy, calling her ungrateful. Xu Chu turns their "scholarly family" pride back on them: they tolerate an affair and welcome a bar singer into the house. She hints that if they want to talk about who is truly clean, they should ask what happened the night Meng Ruoruo and Jiang Yi were together. The room goes tense, and the demand for an apology collapses.
Episode 8
Xu Chu reminds Jiang Yi what day it is — their third anniversary — while he celebrates another woman's birthday and demands she apologize to his mistress. He insists Meng Ruoruo is not "the other woman," and the family reveals the real motive: a hundred-billion project from a top conglomerate, and a chance to become a leading family. To them, Xu Chu is simply the "dirt" to be cleaned out. When she refuses to leave, the insults turn physical. A slap lands, and the family's mask of refinement finally drops in front of everyone.
Episode 9
Jiang Yi admits he and Meng Ruoruo are together and tells Xu Chu her background can never enter the Jiang family. He blames the kidnapping, claims he feels sick whenever he touches her, and calls it her betrayal first. His sister and mother attack Xu Chu, and the family turns on her for striking back. Then a car arrives — Xu Chu's people have come for her. She says she is done with them, cutting ties for good. But Meng Ruoruo collapses, clutching her belly, and the chaos spirals.
Episode 10
Reporters swarm as the Jiang family tries to destroy Xu Chu publicly, branding her a defiled woman and claiming the family "charitably" sheltered her for three years. Meng Ruoruo milks the sympathy. But Xu Chu's side reveals the truth: three years ago, she was the one who saved the kidnapped girls. Her ally urges her to release the evidence, though she says the timing is not right yet. The leaked "crime scene" footage is twisted against her, but the real story is about to break — and the family has no idea who they are truly fighting.
Xu Chu has been underestimated for three years — watch how the woman they called "dirty" tears their whole world down, one reveal at a time.
