Behind the marriage between the two great families in Jinling City lies the childhood bond between Lin Yan and Mu Shiqing. When the Lin family fell due to a business conspiracy, Lin Yan was forced to become a warlord's plaything; Mu Shiqing tried to protect her in a bloody brothel, but was framed by a vicious plot and forced to cooperate with the revolutionary party. At the same time, Mu Lianqing (sister of Mu Shiqing), the leader of the Mu family business, and Lin Yan (brother of Lin Yan), a down-and-out scholar, started a business showdown, outlining the complex picture of business war and love in the Republic of China.
