In Shanghai during the Republic of China, the warlord Shen Mansion was dominated by one side of the family. His son, Shen Yanzhi, had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He had an unruly and free-spirited temperament and was tired of the rules and regulations of wealthy families. During a visit to a garden, he met Wen Shuyao, a poor and scholarly woman. She was elegant, transparent, and did not admire wealth, and she instantly broke into his flashy and lonely life.
Regardless of the disparity in family status and the obstruction of the family, Shen Yanzhi devoted all his efforts to woo the beautiful woman and broke through many obstacles to conclude a marriage. When you are passionately in love, you are warm and affectionate, but after marriage, the rules of a wealthy family, disputes in the house, and family interest disputes come one after another. The current situation is turbulent, the Shen family's foundation is gradually declining in the troubled times, and the old glory suddenly collapses. Differences in outlook, provocations from relatives and friends, and hardships in life continue to erode the deep love of the past. From the love at first sight to the turmoil of money and rice, and the end of prosperity, a good relationship that started in romance ended up with the regret of being separated by strangers in the tide of time and the ups and downs of aristocratic families.
