Thirty years ago, the fiancée he had devoted himself to raising turned around and married another man.
Thirty years later, the wheels of fate turned once more: his son and her daughter fell in love.
In 1993, at an engagement banquet by a fishpond, Lin Xiangdong, an expert fish farmer, made a promise: he would send his fiancée, Liang Xiaoyun, to nursing school, and they would marry once she graduated. The whole village witnessed it, and it became a love story for the ages.
But an urban household registration and an enticing job shattered their love. Liang Xiaoyun’s letter breaking off the engagement made her the wife of a school principal more than twenty years her senior. Lin Xiangdong turned his words, “You’ll regret this!” into fuel and threw himself into the business world.
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye. At someone else’s wedding, Lin Xiangdong, now a renowned entrepreneur, unexpectedly ran into Liang Xiaoyun, her hair prematurely gray as she pushed her paralyzed husband’s wheelchair. They exchanged weathered glances, a thousand words caught in a single moment.
But before the previous generation could settle its grudges, the next generation’s love had already taken root. Their children, Lin Zhiyuan and Feng Yinan, had fallen deeply in love and vowed to sever every tie bound up in their family names.
A youthful love gone awry in the 1990s. A storm of love and resentment spanning two generations. When the regrets of the parents collide head-on with the hopes of their children, will they carry on fate’s curse or finally find forgiveness?
The answer lies hidden in a commercial battle about to erupt.
