The time-honored "Wujia Cake Shop" in Fu'anfang is facing its darkest moment. The planning red line passed through the old ancestral store, and the bulldozers roared for demolition.
The stubborn second-generation successor Wu Jianguo vowed to protect the country left by his father, but he was unable to cope with the fact that no one inherited his technology and his audience was aging. Wu Wei, the eldest daughter of the Shanghai elite who was forced to return home, tried to use business logic to make a living for her old shop, but she had a fierce conflict with her father. His son Wu Lei, who is keen on live broadcasting, has wild ideas, but his execution is full of loopholes.
What is even more chilling is the fluctuation of people's hearts in the face of interests. For decades, old neighbors had their own thoughts on the huge compensation, and suspicion and betrayal quietly grew. When the developer resorted to intimidation and inducement, and even endangered the safety of his family, the Wu family fell into internal and external troubles.
However, the secret that had been hidden for twenty years was suddenly revealed, and the most unlikely "outsider" showed his strongest trump card. The Wu family finally understood: it is never the glutinous rice that sticks to people's hearts, but the protection and true love hidden under the fireworks of the market.
The flame on the old stove may eventually go out, but can the sweetness engraved in my heart survive this cold winter? A realistic chapter about the protection of tradition, family bonds and the choices of the times is unfolding.
