During the stormy years of the Chen Mansion in the Republic of China, Gu Xiaoyu stayed alone at the plum tree in the west wing for twenty years, waiting for his lover. His son, Chen Nian, has been criticized a lot since he was a child. He blames his mother for being silent all day long, and blames his biological father for abandoning his wife and son. Occasionally digging out old pocket watches and letters, the dust-laden truth was suddenly revealed: her biological father, Chen Yilin, and she were in love but were shackled by their status, and were eventually poisoned by their adoptive father, Chen Weiyan, and died unjustly in battle. Two generations are trapped in the deep grudges of the house, hiding a deep love of the Republic of China that was crushed by the mountains, rivers and power. One thought of lovesickness and half a lifetime of regrets.
Intention: A generation drinks up its joys and sorrows, and a generation breaks away from its destiny and rushes to the mountains and seas.
