The sixteenth year of the Republic of China was full of ups and downs. Ruan Qinghuan, whose parents died when he was young, makes a living selling handicrafts on the streets of Shanghai and has a difficult life. By chance, she joins the Gu family's mansion as a maid, and her fate intertwines with the second young master Gu Yichen, who has returned from studying abroad to help the family manage the business.
At first, as a maid, Qing Huan was respectful and shy in front of Gu Yichen, but Gu Yichen paid much attention to this diligent and tenacious little maid. Once, Gu Yichen accidentally soiled his clothes, and Qing Huan took the initiative to help clean up. The two came into close contact, and feelings quietly sprouted.
As they get along more and more, their relationship heats up. However, in troubled times, the Gu family faces the dual crises of family disputes and social unrest. Business rivals secretly interfered, and there were many conflicts within the family. Gu Yichen was busy dealing with it, while Qing Huan silently supported him. The two accompanied each other and tided over the difficulties together.
In these challenging times, can their love withstand the storm? How will family disputes affect their future?

Questions from the outside world and opposition from her family also followed. Lin Xiao even got the opportunity to study abroad, and the test of a foreign country was before them.
