In troubled times, the four daughters of the Lin family in Shanghai each embarked on different paths in life. The eldest sister Lin Zhishu returned from studying in Germany, full of knowledge but fell into right and wrong; the second sister Lin Jianyue became a movie star, but behind her fame was endless pressure; the third sister Lin Juexia devoted herself to journalism and wanted to fight for a world for women; the younger sister Lin Huaian left home at a young age and struggled to survive in Nanyang. In the 1930s of the Republic of China, faced with the turbulent current situation and family crisis, they had to make a choice: should they stick to the old family ship and tide over the difficulties, or should they set sail and pursue their own future? This is a story about four women's growth, struggle and awakening in troubled times. Troubled times are like a sea, and all living things are like boats. The four sisters will eventually face the storms of the times and dare to face the storms in their hearts every time, becoming the queens at the helm of the times.
