The Shen family has a century-old foundation and has influence in both political and business circles. The old head of the family, Shen Zhuang, is highly respected and in control of the overall situation. Along with the Shen family, there are also wealthy families such as the Fu family, the Yao family, the Su family, and the Zhou family. The various forces are fighting overtly and secretly, and are intertwined. Jiang Huashan was originally a supporting character in the book, and was set as a tool man labeled as "vicious, stupid, selfish, and cowardly". She lived in Shen Yuan in her previous life, and was favored by Shen Zhuang on the surface, but was actually used and deceived by her mother Fang Mei and sister Jiang Wanyi. On the night when Shenzhuang was poisoned by a traitor, she watched her grandfather pass away because she was unable to call for help.
