The Chen family, a major lychee orchard owner in Lingnan, has been engaged in lychee orchards for generations, supplying fruits to the court and powerful people. It was once a prominent family and a well-known family. But in the prosperous age, undercurrents were already surging. Since the first generation, this house has never been truly peaceful - support and strife are intertwined, family affection and calculations coexist, and countless cracks have been buried behind the scenery.
The destinies of five generations are intertwined like vines, continuing, twisting, struggling, and passing on in the blood. Some people guard hard, some betray quietly, some can't help themselves, and some are careful at every step. Everyone thinks they can change something, but in the end they can't escape the twists and turns of the family's fate.
"Maybe I did something wrong, but I have to keep this home. It is the only thing I can't give up."
An ancestral house and a piece of litchi mountain bear witness to the prosperity and hidden pain of the Chen family, and also contain countless secrets that no one dares to reveal. Destiny unfolds slowly in time, and can the people in this family really bear the weight of these hundred years?
