In the splendid Suzhou and Hangzhou, the socialite Lin Qingguo is both talented and beautiful. However, because of a "bad match" comment, she missed out on the talent she wanted and was forced to marry Zhang Fuyun, a calm and prominent official. After marriage, she restrained her temperament, worked hard to manage the marriage, and even accepted the orphan Zhang Yiye as her adopted daughter, treating her as her own. However, as the current situation changes, the couple has difficult-to-bridge differences due to their educational philosophy and family boundaries. The husband's unprincipled pampering and indulgence of his adopted daughter gradually crossed the line and evolved into a twisted symbiotic relationship. In the end, in order to protect his adopted daughter, he did not hesitate to confuse right and wrong, blaming Lin Qingguo for the adopted daughter's pregnancy before marriage.
Faced with such unbearable betrayal and frame-up, the proud and arrogant Lin Qingguo no longer tolerated it. On the occasion of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely broke off his marriage in name only and left Hong Kong alone. On the banks of the Hong Kong River, she found true inner peace under the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, converted to Buddhism, and took the Buddhist name "Yikong". She used compassion and wisdom to soothe the war-torn and wandering soul, and lived out her own perfection and calmness. Decades have passed, and when the news came that her old friend had disappeared, she was able to deal with it calmly. From being the queen of the country to being a layman in Yikong, she finally relied on her own strength to survive the splendid years that were missed, and witnessed the changes of the times and the true strength of her heart.
