The story happened in the early 1980s, and the heroine Li Baoli was the lifelong companion of all the young men at that time-beautiful, working and responsible. Because she only has a junior high school education, "culture" has become her pursuit and her psychological robbery.

Bao Li took a fancy to Ma Xuewu, a machine factory worker with a bad personality but a "college student" status. Under the attack of Ma Xuewu's "dear" love letter, Bao Li gave up her spoony suitor, the upright Jian Zheng, married Ma Xuewu and gave birth to her son Bao Xiao. Eight years later, Paulie became the director's wife of the factory office and was assigned a two-bedroom apartment within the planned system.

Unexpectedly, fate and times played a joke on her-Ma Xuewu had a new love, and tried to blame the old love between Paulie and Jian Zheng for the change of marriage. After discovering Ma Xuewu's extramarital affairs, Polly called the police anonymously. Ma Xuewu was caught by the Public Security Bureau, and then he was fired and lost his job. Continuous repression drove the cowardly man to commit suicide.

The ending of the TV series "Dear":

A familiar face is slowly coming towards Paulie, a face that Paulie will never forget and never want to see again. It was a dear third party who indirectly killed her husband Lv Xinxin.

When Polly came home, she flew into a rage and accused Jian Zheng of letting her meet people she didn't want to see and doing things she didn't want to do. Jian Zheng was very wronged when she heard Polly's noise, and they quarreled at once. Polly related the fact that she called the police in those days. Jian Zheng was shocked and accused her of killing Ma Xuewu. They broke up in discord and Polly decided not to get married.

When she returned to her parents-in-law's house, Paulie, who was to blame, finally knelt down and extended her hands to Wu Xue's parents, heading for the road of inner redemption. On a rainy night, Jian Zheng found Paulie to wash her body and cry in the rain. Paulie and Jian Zheng, who have experienced ups and downs in their lives, have once again played the game of guessing Ding Ke. Jian Zheng lost this time, but she won back Paulie.
