Zhongxiu studied in the United States, he is romantic and naive. The three daughters have different biological mothers, incompatible temperaments, and grew up in very different environments. In order to inherit the Xinghua Department Store, the three of them came up with their own unique strategies and argued endlessly.

Instead, there were many misunderstandings among the three girls and they went their separate ways. During Shanghai's "isolated island" period, Yi Xinghua seized the opportunity and Xinghua Department Store prospered unprecedentedly. Most of its operating income went to relief victims in Shanghai. But the good times did not last long. In 1941, the Japanese invaded Shanghai. Yi Xinghua was killed for supporting the anti-Japanese patriotic activities and resisting the Japanese invaders. Xinghua Department Store lost its helmsman, suffered repeated heavy losses, and fell into a precarious situation. In order to realize their father's long-cherished wish to rejuvenate the country through industry, Yi's children were finally able to unite and overcome the difficulties.
