The Ruan family in Jiangning started from humble beginnings, became interested in political intrigue, turned to business, and was trapped in grudges. Five generations, five completely different paths to survival: integrity, power, conservativeness, ingenuity, and adaptability. They have never always stood at the top of power, but they have always left deep marks at key points of the times.
This is not only the history of the rise and fall of the family, but also an eternal exploration of power, wealth and inheritance. Their story is far from the final chapter.
