But as they cross one boundary after another, William is horrified to realize he's falling for Leon. Consumed by guilt, he tries to walk away, only for Leon to chase after him and finally confess the love he's kept buried for ten years.
Five years ago, waitress Lily was framed by Vanessa. She accidentally had a one‑night stand with drugged tycoon Alexander. Afterwards, Vanessa cruelly blinded Lily, seized the keepsake and took her identity.
Five years later, Lily’s biological son Leo took a job as a caddie for fake young master Ethan at the manor to raise money for his mother’s eye treatment.
Within the estate, Leo endured constant bullying from Vanessa and her son, yet won the affection of the matriarch who held power in the family.
During an accident, Leo saved the old lady from falling off a cliff. Vanessa shoved him off the mountainside out of malice, leaving him critically injured.
Extremely rare golden‑blood type was urgently required for the rescue. Alexander rushed over to donate blood. The old lady secretly ordered a DNA test, which proved Leo was the true heir of the family.
Sensing her scheme was about to be exposed, Vanessa tried to eliminate the mother and son. She framed them for theft and hired gangsters to chase them onto the rooftop of an abandoned factory with the intent to kill them.
At the critical moment, Alexander and the old matriarch arrived on an armed helicopter and rescued Lily and her son.
