In the summer, Yanzi was sent to the countryside of northern Jiangsu for summer vacation. She recalled the past: when she was young, she was taken into the Liang family compound by her aunt to work as a maid. Because of her beauty, she was often reminded to abide by the rules. She met the eldest young master Bao Hong, who taught her how to read, and the two gradually fell in love... In 1933, many things happened in the Liang family. On New Year's Eve, his brother Guijiang wanted to be his son-in-law, but his uncle objected and he was forced to get engaged. Yanzi was also betrothed to another family by her uncle. She asked the young master for help but to no avail. In the autumn of this year, there was a rape incident in the Liang family's oil shop. Brother Ergou had a conflict with the Liang family over wages. The master beat Brother Ergou, but the eldest young master did not help to plead for mercy. Yanzi was dissatisfied with the eldest young master. However, the eldest young master and Yanzi later reconciled. On the eve of the eldest young master's wedding, the relationship between the two further heated up. After marriage, Yanzi and Ergou Ge's life was not satisfactory. Ergou Ge had a bad temper and even doubted the relationship between Yanzi and the eldest young master. Later, the eldest young master went to Nanjing to study, and the oil mill business went through many twists and turns. During this period, Yanzi discovered Master Yun's evil deeds, and Master Yun coveted Yanzi. The two clashed, and Yang Ma rescued Yanzi in time. After Master Yun died, Yanzi married Brother Ergou and lived a dull life. The eldest young master comes back for vacation, and Yan Zi rekindles his old relationship. The eldest young master proposes a divorce and takes Yan Zi to Nanjing, but Yan Zi refuses due to various concerns. After Miss Jin Rong learned about it, she made a big fuss in the Ding family. Brother Ergou had a fierce conflict with her and even beat up Yanzi. The swallow fell into pain...
