In the west of the city, Mrs. Liu of Sumen died of illness, and she had only one daughter. Mr. Su insisted that the Su family's property must be inherited by a male, and ordered his only son Jin to succeed him. Su Jin was devastated by the loss of his first wife and feared that his stepmother would not treat his beloved daughter well, so he repeatedly disobeyed his father's orders.
Seeing a stalemate, a woman came to the door and claimed that she had a son with Mr. Su. Mr. Su thought of how Su Jin treated his wife, and he was deeply worried that this person's seeking relatives was a fake and his seeking money was real, so he asked Su Jin to confront her. Who knew that Su Jin actually confessed with tears in his eyes, and swore a poisonous oath in front of his father: "If there is any lie, thunder will strike from heaven." However, he only kept the child, and sent the woman away by force with a sum of money in private. After all, Mr. Su still cared about his family status, and he had this intention, so he just called his son to teach him a lesson and turned a blind eye and acquiesced. In the same year, Mr. Su officially passed full ownership of the Su family's property to his only son.
Ten years later, Su Jin's fifteen-year-old daughter Meiyan kicked her seventeen-year-old son Ran out of the house and tried to prove that she could take her place and become the heir to the Su family's industry.
The old man of the Su family was lying on the hospital bed, yelling angrily: "Evil son! The Su family would rather live without you than without Aran!" He ordered Su Jin to find him as soon as possible. Perhaps by God's will, Mr. Su left before Su Ran could be found again - and died with his eyes open.
People in the streets and alleys were talking about the Su family's misfortune, but they heard that the Sima family, a wealthy family in the east of the city, had a second son out of nowhere. Everyone knew that the eldest son of the Sima family was obsessed with romance, but no one knew about the second son. For a while, everyone in the city lamented that the world was gradually declining and people's hearts were not as old as before.
